[Elecraft] KX3 settings for 80SSB nighttime

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Folks I have had a KX3 for years and used it mostly on CW (ok.. 95%).
With my rotator cuff surgery, I am up most of the night and listen on 75SSB.

I see NR, and of course PBT I/II as well as the RX EQ.  It dawned on me that I 
have never adjusted any of them.
Of note is PBT I/II where I am not getting full advantage of the optional 
filter.

The background noise at my QTH seems to be mostly atmospheric and S-5.  Any 
preliminary set-up that I can follow?

Re: [Elecraft] Yet another scam

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

I will say it here as we are all friends.
When buying a radio, I ask for the radio to be tuned to a specific frequency
That in itself eliminates some of the problems.

[Elecraft] Yet another scam

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

As some of you may know, I am looking for a K2.

I have received an email from a w9per@gmail.com and he sent me a nice 
grouping of pictures, seemed legit.
But after some “blowing up on the pictures” of the paperwork, I noticed he 
stated the SN is 5526 (in the email text), but the pictures seemed to show 7563.

I just received a very nice email from w9per.bob@ that this radio is not his.

Just an FYI, seemed very legit until the pictures were blown up.

Re: [Elecraft] New KX3 field-test firmware, rev. 2.82

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Folks, bear with me, I see a beta version of the firmware.
I have not followed the threads as of late.
About a year ago, we talked about an upgrade for AM for the KX3 and had some 
beta firmware.

I lost track, does 2.76 have the AM solved?
(Getting ready for winter / AM operation here in the Midwest)

Re: [Elecraft] Mobile from 117 VAC

I’m curious for the bonding guys..
Are you connecting the “ground” of the AC mains to the ground of the 12VDC as 
well as the ground on the inverter?

[Elecraft] KX3 not responding

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Folks, I just updated my firmware on my KX3 all went well.
I removed the Elecraft cable and then a few minutes later I reconnected the 
cable back to the radio.
Now I when I start the Elecraft KX3 Utility and “test the communications” 
button, It says KX3 not responding.
Anyone?

[Elecraft] KX2 on AM?

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Scanning the data sheet on the KX2 I don’t see AM as a mode, thought that was 
added a few months back.
Does it have AM?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 loss of rx signal

You may want to tap individual connectors carefully so “just one gets tapped”.

Re: [Elecraft] Chinese Filters on eBay

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Ya, I would not want to invest that much money in an Elecraft and take a 
gunshot approach with accessories.  

I pay for what I get.

And… I have some exceptional Elecraft equipment on the desk, in the shack, in 
the go-bag and one currently at Don’s place.
I always take the approach to buy what I can afford but sometimes… I do spend 
more to get something exceptional.
Wayne, Eric, Don, thanks for all your help over the years and for building 
exceptional equipment, as well as exceptional support.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Sidetone

So I have had some quality time with my K2 this weekend.  
I am thinking of doing this modification to my sidetone, has anyone tried it?

Seems pretty easy to do and I have always thought it was “my ears”.

Comments?

Anyone know if you can receive the AM broadcast band?
I can on my KX3 with the auto-tuner and wonder if there is any ability to

[Elecraft] KX3 - Future Feature button assignment?

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Seeing Rick’ post has me thinking… I rarely use my KX3 for decode CW but… maybe 
a future feature is to have a one button “speed is” on the KX3?
I know it is ‘there’ but one key touch would be a nice feature to see how fast 
the other guy is moving at.

[Elecraft] Chasing Ghosts (Alarm Bypassing)

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

So now into the winter months, I have an issue where I have RFI getting into 
things.

After some searching.. I found an excellent guide by our own Jim Brown.

Jim… I think you were the guy that presented at our EMC meeting a long time ago 
here in Chicago if.. my memory is correct…
(I have been the Chairman of our EMC MiniSymposium here in Chicago for the past 
18 years…)

Jim did an excellent job with a mix of theory and practical, hope you find it 
helpful.

Re: [Elecraft] K1 headphone jack

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Have seen that before but….. usually ’someone’ before me had some sort of 6” 
adapters coming out of the panel to go to their speaker cord, and the length 
just stressed the jack too much.
On the ones that I built I have never seen that issue.  I like the KX3 right 
angle approach for all the cables coming out of the radio…. And… no adapters!

[Elecraft] Signal One for K3s

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Folks, I am pondering getting rid of my Signal One CX-7A, it’s CX-7S matching 
speaker and the (probably only one built) aluminum carrying case for the 
transceiver.
Rather then sell it… I am looking for a loaded K3s.
The Signal One was gone through a few years back, has all CW filters, and if I 
recall 10Mz as well.

You can see the radio on my QRZ website under KG9H.
This radio is not used as often as I thought I would and now that the Winter 
months are about on us… I was thinking of getting trading…
It would come with an extra case and ALL of the extra stuff I have accumulated 
over the years.

Off line response please.

[Elecraft] Hats off to the folks from Elecraft for their support

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

So in the past week, I drove about 2,500 miles BEFORE I drove non-stop to Tampa 
yesterday.

Of course I completely tested out my trusty KX3 before I left so…. radio in 
hand we were off to Tampa, driving non-stop and left at 2:30am.

In the first hour, I noticed I had the backlight on and of course the +12DVC 
was not connected so I decided to plug in the DC and top off the battery.
(Batteries about 4 months old.)  Listening to the low end of 40 as I cruised 
along.
Then I got a warning light on the display, and then noticed the radio was hot!

Un-plug, Plug-in, field strip the batteries out, measure everything with DC 
voltmeter from my go-kit I made up, all seemed ok on my end.

A call to the automated Elecraft company (it was well before anyone should be 
there and left a message.)  
Thinking back it was probably kryptic but they figured out what I was trying to 
say.

One of their guys called me back and walked me through the process, I did not 
miss any steps.

Conclusion by Elecraft - probably one dead cell (??!!)

I ran it on the van battery for the balance of the trip, all seemed ok.

Just left Best Buy with new batteries.  All is well.

I guess the batteries I bought from Frys were not as good as I thought.

Could not find any Eneloop batteries in stock so I got Ray-O-Vac 2500mAh 
batteries.
I will be on the air with my Alexoop tonight 14.305 just after Sunset locally.  
All is well. Thank you Elecraft.

[Elecraft] K2 mic compatibility?

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Hi folks,

I have just been handed a Heil mic wired for 8 pin Icom.

Anyone know if the Icom 8pin is pin for pin compatible with a K2 that is wired 
for an MH-2?

Not that I need another mic as I am a CW guy but… I have been on SSB since Don 
aligned it and was wondering if I can “just plug it in”.

My PTT button is completely broken, who knows how…
In any event, my MH2 shows Heil on the front and Elecraft MH2 on the back.  The 
PTT button is completely broken and I am wondering how I can get another PTT 
button.  The electronics inside the microphone is fine and works.  
Right now I use a pick from a guitar (pushing in)  to key it.

Re: [Elecraft] If it plugs in, then it should work

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

My wife came to me a long time ago with a broken iRobot product.  She confused 
the power plugs -easy to do, they both said iRobot and had the same plugs…
One was AC and one was DC.
If I recall, I had to replace a diode in the broken iRobot.
I used  RED and YELLOW tape on the unit and plug from that time on.

Re: [Elecraft] Mac utility with K3S Puts K3S in TX mode!

[kg9hfr...@gmail.com]

Bill you are not alone as a MAC user and I am NOT going to purchase a WIN 10

I have used the utility on my MacBookAir for the KX3 utility and love it.
