Re: [Elecraft] K3 Fault 6 and loss of power control
Hello Pete, This happens to my K3S regularly. After it spent WAY too much time back at the mother ship three years ago without them being able to reproduce the fault (RSA #10260, in case Keith is reading this), I was finally able to narrow down the cause. I can reproduce the fault by going from FL2 to FL3, FL3 to FL4 or by exiting the QRQ mode. This makes me think it may be a firmware problem. I'm running v5.67, the most recent version. I can't figure out how to force a load of an earlier version to see if that cures the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? I can't be the only one. --- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Pete Smith N4ZR Sent: Wednesday, 6 March, 2024 22:12 To: Elecraft List Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Fault 6 and loss of power control Today I started seeing this in my K3 driving a KPA-1500.

Re: [Elecraft] Power spike early K3
My K3s has this problem, but it only happens intermittently. When driving the KPA1500, there would be a spike of about 70w. Drive level was between 20 and 25 watts. The K3s spent three months at Elecraft and they could not fix it. I finally discovered two things that caused the power spike: 1. Exiting the CW QRQ mode; either by turning on RIT or by using the menu. 2. Narrowing the passband from XFIL 3 to XFIL 4 (1000 Hz to 400 Hz in my case.), either with the XFIL button or the Width control. These appear to be the only things that cause the power spike. This leads me to believe it's a firmware problem (v 5.67, the most recent). I tried going back to an earlier FW version, but could not figure out how to load it. It doesn't look like there will be any new FW updates for the K3 series. --- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of N2TK via Elecraft Sent: Saturday, 20 May, 2023 15:51 To: m...@sj2w.se; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Power spike early K3 I had the same problem with the K3/KPA1500 combination.

Re: [Elecraft] Using KIO3B for digital and AFSK RTTY
Hello Pete, Plug in the USB cable between your K3 and computer. The computer will (should) recognize the K3 sound card as USB Audio CODEC and install drivers automatically. In WSJT-X, select USB Audio CODEC as your microphone and speakers. You can also do radio control through the same USB port, but if you want to do both at the same time you need a port sharing program like LP Bridge. --- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Pete Smith N4ZR Sent: Wednesday, 3 May, 2023 10:10 To: Elecraft List Subject: [Elecraft] Using KIO3B for digital and AFSK RTTY Is there somewhere online where I can read about how to use the sound card in my KIO3B?

[Elecraft] KPA500 Low 40m Output
Greetings, Working on a KPA 500, #2441. All bands except 40m work properly; 40m output is about 125w. Testing into a dummy load: Drive level: ~20w for all bands. Voltage and current levels all seem normal; lower PA current and slightly less voltage drop on 40m. SWR back to exciter (K3s) is 1:1 on all bands Output SWR on the internal meter reads 1:1, even on 40m No fault messages on any band, no smoke, no funny noises. The most obvious (to me) culprit is the 40m low pass filter. I was hoping to find an obviously fried cap or coil, but everything looks OK. A web search shows some folks reporting similar single-band faults, but they all have obviously fried components (usually a cap) on the RF or LPF boards. Is there anything else that could be at fault, other than the LPF circuit? It appears everything else is common to all bands. I'm not sure my test gear is sufficient to check the components in circuit.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 strange overshoot
Ahoj Petr, I have a similar problem with my K3s. Drive power for the amp is 20 to 25w and the power spike is always around 70w. Elecraft had the radio for three months and claimed they could not reproduce the fault. I discovered later that it only occured when I was in CW QRQ mode and that I could “force” the fault by either exiting QRQ mode or changing to a narrower filter. I sent that info to Elecraft, but they never replied. This happens on all bands except 6m. Thinking it might be a firmware issue, I tried loading an older FW version but have not been able to convince K3 Utility to do that. 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT > On Feb 11, 2022, at 9:45 AM, Petr Ourednik wrote: > > Hi folks, > > so sorry to bother you over here. > I realized strange behavior of my trusty K3 (#778 fully upgraded, loaded, > latest synths installed) > When I tried to exciting KPA500 amp I suffered with strange overshoots during > first dots. > > Symptoms: > - up to 12W from K3 all is ok, over 13W the full scale deflection on KPA500 > appears on first dots > - after 1-2 dots power drops back to expected power based on exciting power > level > - the overshoot appears again after band changing or switching between > OPER/STBY > - 160m-30m are heavily affected, 20m-10m behaves better and it can be driven > up to 18W but overshoot appears too (just slightly to about 600W on LED scale) > > Conditions: > I realized that behavior into antennas with SWR all below 1:1.4 > no SWR > protection activated at all. > The same issue appears into dummy load. > > I will be happy for any kind of ideas or hints where to start...:( > Many thanks in advance. > > 73 - Petr, OK1RP > "Apple & Elecraft freak" > B:http://ok1rp.blogspot.com > -- > What could be easier..? ¯∖_(ツ)_/¯ > __ > 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 mgci...@gmail.com __ 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] XV222 Mods Question
Greetings, I recently purchased a used XV222 that had some modifications done in the local oscillator circuit. The construction was very sloppy, but transverter works OK most of the time. Power output is adequate with good audio on SSB and receiver sensitivity seems OK. Sometimes the xvtr goes in to parasitic oscillation. I can stop the oscillation by touching certain parts of the case, and it will operate normally for a while. Weird. I cannot find any documentation about the mod on line. It appears that two 2.2 pF caps have been added (on the bottom side of the board) in parallel with C12 (10pF), and the collector of Q1 goes above the board directly to Z4 instead of into its hole in the PCB. Has anyone seen this mod or the reason for it documented anywhere?

I mostly use the remote app to force the fan speed to a higher level than the factory fan curve to help keep the amp cool. It would be nice if the KPA-1500 FW had a few fan profiles to choose from to help keep the amp cool when running high duty cycle modes.

Re: [Elecraft] Now looking for a K3S KTCXO3-1
Greetings - I have a KTCXO3, a Chinese copy, and the standard oscillator. I tested the standard and Chinese ones against WWV at 10 MHz using the Freq Cal mode in WSJT-X over a four hour period. This isn't exactly a laboratory grade test, but is the best I can do. The total error for the Chinese TCXO was 1.26 Hz Total error for the stock oscillator was 0.98 Hz I'll test the KTCXO3 later today. I'm not a math major, but that looks like about 0.1PPM error. Tests were run after the K3s had been on for a few hours. I don't have the tools to measure phase noise. Would having a local with a panadaptor look at my transmitted signal using the different oscillators be sufficient? This is the Chinese oscillator I bought from Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/KTCXO-3-Compatible-Elecraft-K3-TCXO-1-PPM-High-Stab ility-Ref-Osc-Compatible/182814802678?hash=item2a909c82f6:g:7qsAAOSwWr5Z2Y7t 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Mark Goldberg Sent: Wednesday, 10 March, 2021 08:56 To: Elecraft Mailing List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Now looking for a K3S KTCXO3-1 If the Chinese TCXOs for the K3 are anything like the ones for Kenwood I have measured, they exhibit much higher phase noise.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S KTCXO3-1 possible problem
Hello Gary, Elecraft reported having problems with the TCXOs a while back. Mine isn't very well behaved, either, but it stays within a few Hertz compared to WWV on 10 MHz. 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Gary Peterson Sent: Tuesday, 9 March, 2021 13:40 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3S KTCXO3-1 possible problem I have a K3S, purchased factory built, February 2019. This included the 1 ppm TCXO3-1-F option. A few months later, I noticed that SSB signals heard on 50.125.000 MHz all sounded a bit off frequency. Hence, I performed a reference oscillator calibration, using method 2. Because of my relatively short distance to WWV, the variability in the signal strength made its use difficult. Instead, I used a GPS disciplined TCXO as my 10 MHz standard. The GPSDO had been on for several hours before any calibration and the transceiver had been on for, at least, three hours. The frequency display on the K3S was set to 10.000.000 MHz. Beats were displayed on a Weston VU meter, driven by an opamp, connected across the external speaker output. This allows beats to be easily seen, that are less than one per second. The REF CAL as received from the factory was 49.379.766 On 7/10/2019, I changed the REF CAL setting to 49.379.448 (I chalked this change up to possible crystal aging.) On 11/30/2019, the REF CAL setting was changed to 49.379.110 On 3/1/2020 the REF CAL setting was changed to 49.378.926 On 1/16/2021 REF CAL was changed to 49.378.495 On 1/30/2021 REF CAL was changed to 49.378.484 On 2/22/2021 REF CAL was changed to 49.378.508 (the first time the setting has been increased) I have also noticed a change of several Hz in the beat note between the transceiver having been on for half an hour and having been on for three or four hours. This seems odd behavior to me for a high stability, 1 ppm TCXO. The transceiver is in a room, with a temperature of 70, plus or minus, 3 degrees Fahrenheit. There is nothing on top of the transceiver and there is plenty of space below, behind and on either side of the radio. There are no other heat sources near the transceiver. Am I being overly critical, or do you think this is unusual behavior for a KTCXO3-1? I posed this question to Elecraft tech support. The reply did not address my question as to whether this KTCXO3-1 is misbehaving. The reply only said that “We have no KTCXO3-1 and have no orders to restock at this time.” The tech, who replied, also gave me sourcing information for, apparently, the oscillator part on the board. Thanks in advance for any time taken to reply to my post.

Re: [Elecraft] Signals wild...signals caged
Well written and fun to read! The chirpy signals are pretty much gone but the key clicks seem to be getting worse. Even some of the newer high-dollar radios are pretty bad. -- 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Wayne Burdick Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2021 12:11 To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Signals wild...signals caged My son is an avid birdwatcher. As his understudy, I've learned the names of the birds that hang out in our yard and gather at local wetlands. On a recent walk we saw one of our favorites, an American kestrel, a small raptor that terrorizes lizards and mice in the foothills on both sides of the San Francisco Bay. The bird's coloration is a surprising mix of blue, brown, orange, yellow, and white, adorned with an array of black dots. Finding a kestrel in the wild is like stumbling upon a rare gem, lying on the ground. The bird reminded me that when I was a kid, I often hunted for gems of a different sort: DX. I was a novice, and in the early 1970s, novices were limited to working DX Of The First Kind. CW. Like brightly colored birds, each CW signal arriving from a distant land was unique. Several factors were involved. In those days most ops used bugs or straight keys, so each operator had an identifiable fist. Rigs were not as stable as they are now, yielding timbres with a motley mix of buzz, drift, and chirp. Add fading and noise to the mix, and you had no shortage of audible intrigue. In fact -- trust me on this one -- RST reports haven't always ended with a dependable "9." I once gave out an RST of 332. I'll never forget that poor soul's chaotic whoop, best described as a singular blend of yodel and kazoo. Over time I became something of a CW pathologist, keenly aware of each station's affliction, including my own. These variations were useful. You could tell who you'd already worked. If you were a regular on the novice bands, you'd even get to know fellow travelers by their frequencies, since many, like me, were "rock-bound" -- slaves to a handful of crystals. VFOs were starting to make an appearance in novice gear...but see "chirp," above. Now, in 2021, the chirp is gone. CW signals still have many distinguishing traits, though. These include speed, keying weight, the operator's affectations and favored prosigns, and direction-specific propagation anomalies. Here's where we stretch the central metaphor to just about max. If randomly occurring CW signals on our bands are creatures of the wild, then...are FT8 stations the occupants of an urban zoo? Don't get me wrong: It's a pleasant place, with free tram rides, open 24 hours a day. The diversity of species is unprecedented. But imagine, on a given day, that you've sampled the zoo's exotic offerings, memorized the brochure, bought the t-shirt, and partaken of the sumptuous snack bar. What next? Take a walk on the wild side. Yank the cord and jump off the tram at an unmarked stop. Hop the fence. Work your way down the unpaved trail from the upper mesa to the open savannah, then sit on the ten-foot wall and dangle your feet over the edge. Welcome to the ecosystem of beings who are free to roam. They may be camouflaged, blending into the background. And if you listen carefully, you'll hear a hundred variations on their timeless song...CQ.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X Split operation.
Hello Rick, You really DO need to use some sort of frequency control, either split or fake-it, especially in F mode. When you transmit the lower audio tones, their harmonics and distortion will still be in your audio passband and be transmitted along with the desired tones. The purpose of using proper rig control is to keep the audio tones above 1500 Hz so the harmonics and distortion are out of your transmit passband. -- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Rick WA6NHC Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 14:06 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X Split operation. I run WSJT-X via HRD rig control (SignaLink audio) for CAT PTT (and VFO) on the K3. I do NOT set WSJT-X for any split. The (sole) VFO doesn't move once set. In everyday FT8, it's fine to let the audio determine actual frequency (the other uses one 'tone', I stay on mine or not, think of it as cross band ops). In hound mode, the change in 'tone' is determined by the program (once ack'ed by the fox); no VFO shift is required. It's been flawless without moving a VFO (except when initially selecting a band or changing to the fox frequency). No added commands to the K3, life is simple. There is a designed lag from keyup to actual generation of tone, which is fine, it lets all the hardware (amps, pre-amps) have time to get 'safe' if needed (the KPA line doesn't require it). Yes, WSJT-X whines every startup in hound configuration that it 'needs' split, but that isn't the case in reality. This setup works, it's simple and simple ROCKS on any day.

The current firmware is 2.04r, and if you are dealing with a K2 below SN 3000 and have not done the sidetone source change as indicated in the KPA100 or KIO2 instructions, you must add it to use 2.04r because the sidetone source is locked at U8-4. That is the only difference between 2.04P and 2.04r. The rest of the components on the Control Board can be mounted as indicated in the Keying Waveshape Mod documentation.

[Elecraft] K-3 Transmit Problem: no RF Output
Greetings - My K3 has had low output for quite some time, maybe 60-90w depending on the band. I always meant to look into it and fix it someday. Now it has no RF output at all. (Just in time for VK0 and FT/J!) I believe I have traced the problem to two transistors on the LPA board (driver stages), Q4 and Q5, but am not confident they are the only parts at fault. I'm hoping someone else has had the same problem and found the solution. I tried re-seating all the connectors, with a drop of DeoxIt on the pins, and running TX gain cal. 5w and 50w failed immediately, but 100 mW is OK on all bands. KPA-100 was removed, the PA jumper installed between P67A & P67B, and the config menu was set to KPA not installed. Measurements were taken with an old Tek 2465. DC voltages are all correct. Measuring with a scope - I get a nice clean sine wave going in to the LPA board at P71A pin 3. Most bands are 1.2 to 2.2v P-P, but 6m is only 0.6v. The output of Q1 is a little distorted. The output of Q2 varies from 10-25v, depending on the band, and is also a little distorted. Signals at the base of Q4 and Q5 are back down to 3v. Output of Q4 and Q5 is a few mV. Changing the drive control has no affect on signal levels. Is 1 to 2 v P-P the correct drive level at P71A? What is an acceptable variation in power level between different bands? Should the drive control change signal levels here, or does that happen later in the circuit? I am also concerned about the distortion on the wave forms. Q4 and Q5 are available from RF Parts for $5 apiece, so replacing them will likely be my next stap. Thank you. -- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT __ 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] re: Evaluating antennas
I absolutely and completely agree with Ken, despite having only half of his experience. (30 years, and only two towers - 100' 125' with six rotatable beams). The old fashioned open wire dipole - doublet to our UK brethren - when fed with a proper balanced tuner - is extremely efficient and effective. Read what Maxwell has to say about them in his book Reflections, or look at results with an antenna modelling program. The 80m dipole at 65', when used on the higher bands, will have gain equal to a 3 element yagi in its favored directions. 73, Mike Cizek W3MC [EMAIL PROTECTED] FOC # 1739 HSC # 1849 - Original Message - From: Ken Kopp To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, 21 February, 2007 19:48 Subject: [Elecraft] Evaluating antennas Given all the discussion about the various antennas I do wire antenna seminars at conventions and hamfests, and usually in some way tell my audience the following: NO antenna is ever high enough!
