[Elecraft] K4 Questions
I have a couple questions regarding the K4 and K4HD - perhaps for Wayne/Eric. 1. I understand that the K4HD will have a selectable feature that would allow it to use either the direct sampling or the superhet front end. If I had a K4HD, why would I ever want to switch from the better superhet front end to SDR - assuming I already own all the filters? 2. Will there be a "K4 mini"? I know I could operate remotely from a PC, etc. but would prefer the "real radio" feel with knobs, a plug in paddle, etc. and having the panadapter screen in the mini would be a plus? I use a K3 mini now but not with a P3. 3. My primary station is built as a remote station in FL in partnership with Paul-W9AC. We use Verizon 4G LTE for internet and are limited to 30 GB of data per month (without upcharge). How data intensive is the K4 with the panadapter in remote operation versus the K3S -- assuming it would be controlled with a K4 mini or another K4 to get the panadapter feature?? (Forgive me if I'm not asking the question correctly, but I think you'll understand my intent.) Thanks. 73, Greg-N4CC __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Output Variation
Why worry about it? No one on the other end would be able to tell one bit of difference. I see power drop -- maybe 5 - 10 percent -- as the KPA1500 heats up...likely normal. The small bit of reflected power may also have some minor effect on the wattmeter readings you see as well. 73, Greg-N4CC __ 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

Likewise, if you switch to "CW REV" mode, the Windowm performance is down. This is of course, determined by the polarity of your Windom feedline (whether the coax center or shield is hooked to the longer side of the Windom). This effect can be equalized slightly by using balanced feeders.

Re: FW: [Elecraft] K3 and StepIR/Icom PW-1
I'm using the K3 with a PW-1 and the beauty of it is you don't need the ALC if you use the K3's capacity to store the power level (drive level) for each band. Obviously if you use the K3 barefoot at 100 watts you would have to be careful to turn it back down with the amp but I just leave it at the saved settings that I have established for output for each band. The proper drive level does vary somewhat by band. You are right about the ALC ..the K3 ALC is not compatible with the PW-1 and you should not connect the ALC line between the two. 73 de Greg At 09:08 PM 9/7/2008, you wrote: Hi Tom, The K3 should not be used as an exciter for the PW1 unless the polarity of its external ALC input has been changed from positive-going (original) to negative-going (range 0 to -4V).

Re: FW: [Elecraft] K3 and StepIR/Icom PW-1
Adam -- I guess it depends on the user. Certainly having the ALC connected (if it were compatible) would be preferred...but my point is that saying " the K3 should not be used as an exciter for the PW-1" [without ALC] is not entirely accurate. it is possible to use the PW-1 without ALC. It can be done and done quite safely. Granted you lose a measure of protection but if you use the K3 as I do -- where it recalls the drive setting by band, a unique feature of the K3 -- it is less likely that not having the ALC connected will ever be an issue. If you change the power settings frequently and are not careful to return them to the desired drive level when operating the amplifier then your chance of damaging the amp increases without the ALC. Cheers. 73 de Greg At 10:53 PM 9/7/2008, you wrote: Hi Greg, The PW1 uses the ALC loop as an essential part of its protective subsystem, as described in the service manual excerpt which I sent you. Any one of several anomalous operating conditions (including over-drive and load mismatch) will pull down the ALC line to reduce the drive. This is the amplifier's first line of defence. I would never put an expensive piece of equipment such as the PW1 at risk by connecting it to an exciter without a fully-functional ALC loop.

[Elecraft] Re: [Elecraft_K3] K3 vs FT1000D
I've had a FT-1000D since the early 90's...the only change I've made is I got rid of an older one and got a newer one that was cosmetically prettier. It is still on the desk. I intend to keep both radios...so I'm not prejudiced for one radio versus the other because of the one I have sitting on the desk. I have done A/B tests with both radios...and I can honestly tell you that I have worked two very weak stations on the K3 that I could not work on the 1000D because I could copy them on the K3 and not the 1000D. I could tell the signal was there but it was not intelligible -- one on 20 meters and one on 40 meters...switching the same antennas back and forth between the two radios. Pluses for the 1000D -- Yes, the feel of the knob is nicer. I like the APF for cw work on the 1000D. The sound of the radio in the speaker is fuller than the K3 with the RX equalizer set "flat" on the K3. I can make them sound almost identical by adjusting the RX equalizer on the K3. The 1000D is 200 watts. The 1000D has "band buttons". The 1000D has a real analog meter...I happen to prefer that. Pluses for the K3 -- It is easier to move around on the desk and get plugs in and out of the back; The selectivity / DSP in the K3 is a WOW! compared to the shift/width control on the 1000D; the tx test mode on the K3 is handy for adjusting things without actually transmitting a signal; the cwt and auto spot feature is pretty slick; it will be nice when they have the DVR available; I like the way the RIT and XIT CLR button works. You get new features every time Elecraft responds to a new "wish list" item; the ability to remember power levels by band is unique and I find it very useful. I think I get less blocking with the K3 from loud local than I do on the 1000D -- that's perception, not measurement. The K3 has 6 meters on it. The K3 can be adjusted to low power levels much more accurately and lower than the 1000D. If I were going to keep one and get rid of the other, my vote would be to keep the K3...but both radios are very nice. YMMV. As far as I'm concerned there is one more factor that is overwhelmingly in favor of Elecraftthe customer servicenot to mention that if I have to send a radio in for service the 1000D weighs in right at 70 lbs while the K3 would be 10 or less with all the packing...The chance of UPS crunching your 1000D is far greater than crunching the K3 if F=MA is still true...:-) (OK all you physicists can tell me why that is incorrect...I'm too old and too crotchety to care any more.) 73 de Greg-N4CC At 07:47 AM 9/10/2008, Chris Parnell wrote: H as funny as that may be (and it is... :) )... anyone got any decent views on this request please?

Re: [Elecraft] 'Q' signal trivia
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this... 73 means "best regards" and is sufficient without an "s". If you say "73s", it is like saying, "best regards's". However, I admit that it has become rather common practice in recent times. 73, Greg-N4CC Msg sent via CableONE.net MyMail - http://www.cableone.net __ 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

[Elecraft] ESD recommendation
Hello all -- Like everyone else I'm looking forward to a K3 showing up sometime before I become a SK...hi hi...(third production run...ugh)...but I'm trying to get prepared so everything will be ready to go when the kit gets here. I don't have any special "ESD" protection and was wondering what others have done to comply with appropriate ESD protectionand where you have obtained wrist straps, ESD mats, etc. I live in FL and normally static is not a particular problem...(lightning -- yeslow humidity and static -- no) It's not like a northern dry winter where you can walk across the carpet and draw a spark from a door knob...so I'm wondering if I even have to go to the effort...Interested in your thoughts...73 de Greg-N4CC ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: [Elecraft_K3] K3 Shipping Status Update 11/26/07
Oh come on now, David...there is no "fiasco". The folks at Aptos are doing a marvelous job. They've had to deal with things that just "happen" when you have a complex production operation and are relying on subs for contract parts/boards. So the first K3's didn't come out on the original schedule...they have communicated why that is true and are providing weekly updates of revised schedules. The anxiety that is being created is caused more by people on this reflector who are SPECULATING on what is happening and whining about it. If you read updates you would know that if you ordered in early May then your radio is likely to ship in the next couple weeks...and if that changes, you will know why...Here's what was said... Shipping weeks of Nov 26-30 and Dec 3-7 (Orders with deposits): We will be shipping the remaining 5/1 orders and many of the 5/2 orders during this period. (We still have at least a week to go on 5/1 orders due to the very short holiday week last week.) We have been running a little slow on assembled K3s and are still working on shipping a small number of these from 4/27-30 this week. The shipping rate on these will pick up this week (week of 11/26) and next. The initial rush of orders was greatest 4/27-5/3, and also on 5/7. After that group is shipped our movement through the backlog calendar will pick up considerably. We're also adding staff (and overtime) in production and test and hope to beat the above plan. We'll update it here early each week. How can you ask for more than that? If you have a specific question regarding your order, ask them...don't talk about tarnished reputation on a reflector. I sent a note to Lisa yesterday evening asking if she expected shipment of my radio before Christmas. Mine was ordered on July 6. AT 8:02 PM Pacific time she replied...and said that if things go as planned it should be shipped before the end of the year... Try sending a note to one of the other manufacturers and see if you get a reply from them at 8 p.m. Ha! I also had not put down a deposit and told her that I would be happy to do that if priority was being given to those who did provide the deposit. She said a deposit would not change my place in line. I'm absolutely delighted and astounded by the prompt response from some obviously dedicated people. I've never owned an Elecraft radio before but if it works as well as the customer service, I know I will be happy. Patience, lad...if you didn't have the anticipation, you wouldn't appreciate it as much when you do get it. 73 de Greg-N4CC At 03:28 AM 11/27/2007, David Pratt wrote: Sadly, Julian, Elecraft's previous good name is being tarnished by the K3 fiasco. For several months, non-Elecraft users have been asking me about my K3. I keep putting them off and telling them I will let them know when I get it. Unfortunately, with them it has now become somewhat of a joke. Like you, I ordered mine with a deposit early May, prompted by the attraction of one of the first 200. Will it ever happen? 73 David G4DMP In a recent message, Julian G4ILO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote ... The option to pay a 50% deposit is still on the Elecraft order page. Doubtless the offer to get one of the first 200 is now withdrawn, but one wonders what the benefit of paying the deposit is, in that case. -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK -- ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
