Re: [Elecraft] Echo and feedback un SSB
Don, I did not consider the inherent delay of the all digital time to process. Thinking back on my gold standard of ssb monitor circuits, the TS-830S has zero delay due to it being all analog. My TS-850 is similar, although much more modern than the 830 the ssb monitor is still all analog circuitry. It would make sense in all digital rig such as the KX3 minus of course the rf circuits but still heavily based on digital technology that there would be an unavoidable delay in the speech we emit into the mic vs what we hear back in the monitor circuit. Thanks for the tip. Lane On Sunday, April 20, 2014 11:00 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: Lane, That "back of the cave" sound can be one of two things. One is that there is monitor audio reaching your microphone due to either using the speaker or audio leakage from your headphones, The second is that it is simply your perception. There is a very slight delay between your voice and the output of the monitor. If your ears are sensitive enough to pick up that delay, it will sound like an echo in your head. In other words there may be no problem. I suspect that is the case whether no 1 or no 2 is the cause. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/19/2014 9:10 PM, lane zeitler via Elecraft wrote: > When I use the ssb monitor is sounds like I am at the back of a cavestill > going via the settings.

[Elecraft] vfo encoder noise on quiet band
Does anyone else notice the vfo encoder noise when tuning on a dead quiet band? If you spin the vfo quickly you hear noise in the audio. If there is about an s1 or so or greater background noise you do not hear it.

[Elecraft] trade 3 week old KX3 for Eagle
My KX3 is only a few weeks old. I am original owner. Has the optional paddles, hand mic, battery charger, and auto tuner. Works FB on brand new Sanyo Eneloop 2700mAH NIMH batteries. I also have a brand new, unopened spare set of the same batteries that is included. Would like to work out a deal for a Ten Tec EagleI do not like the menu system at all on the KX3 which is the only reason why I am not keeping it. Let me know if you have a like new Eagle and want to work out a trade. At this point I am not interested in selling the KX3 outright. I think the s/n is 63XX, LCDR Lane Zeitler Forward Deployed US Naval Hospital Yokosuka Japan JH1JCM, Ku7i __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Fw: First contact today was A35V on KX3 picnic table portable
On Saturday, April 12, 2014 11:51 AM, lane zeitler wrote: Got the KX3 about a week ago. First contact was today, portable, I was sitting next to the bay on a picnic table (salt water, here on the Navy base in Yokosuka Japan) with a 17ft replacement tent pole I ordered on Amazon for $38 as my 20 to 10 mtr vertical. The new "vertical" is tie wrapped to a 3 ft high chain link fence. Two 17 ft radials are laid out. 50 ohm coax as the feed, about six feet long straight to the KX3. Built in auto tuner tunes it easily to a 1:1 match on 20 to 10 meters. It will load on 40 but the final swr is high and did not try 80 or 160 or even 6 mtrs yet. We will leave the area and return back to the states in JUL so not going crazy with antennas here.and all of my operations here will be picnic portable until we leave. Worked A35V on 12 meters ssb, I was xmitting 4 watts into the tent pole vertical. Took a few calls but got him with my JA call of JH1JCM/QRP. My Eneloop batteries were straight out of the packaginghad not even did a charge yet but the KX3 indicated the voltage was 8.7 so I figured I would give it a try. They worked. There are a lot of menu driven options with this rig and overall I prefer a simpler rig such as the Argo VI which I almost bought but hopefully over the next few weeks of very casual operating I will get to know the knob functions better. Impressed with the build quality and the display is awesome. The CMP seems to have a major positive impact on SSB. The SSB monitor sounds weird thoughwhen I engage the SSB monitor circuit it sounds like it is being processed digitally and has that "in the cave" dsp sound to itdo not like the way the monitor sounds so I must be doing something wrong. Still slowly figuring this rig out. Eneloops are charging now off of my Astron SS30. Expect to have full charge in 10 hours. Will see how long they last before needing charging again. Bought the optional paddle but have not hooked it up yet. More to follow.

[Elecraft] Eneloop 2500 mah batteries
Just received my Sanyo eneloop 2500 mAH rechargeable batteries niMH cells..will start the charge cycle when I get home from work tonight. How long should I charge them for...this will be the first charge and I have not used the radio yet at all with these new batteries. Also, if I keep the xmit power down to about 3watts what kind of operation time can I expect with casual SSB xmissions? Any thoughts on this are appreciated, thanks.
