[Elecraft] Linux and K3 Utility
Running Linux Ubuntu with the K3 Utility and to perform some of the functions the mouse cursor must be positioned above the specific button for it to operate. The button will not function when the cursor is in that specific button. It is my understanding that Dave Fleming wrote a command for this glitch.

No question .. A veteral K2 ham related to me the difficulties of making a K2 SSB rig work well, in the QRP mode. Bandwidth vs power and all that. But it seems pretty evident that Elecraft should seriously pursue creating a K3 base rig, with at least: K3 HF Transceiver consider including VHF 100W pep minimum included CW, SSB included .. then other options if need be a real NB DSP in the IF, somehow standard consider GP coverage in receive larger front panel, knobs and buttons LCD color base display KITTED product I'm sure many of us would jump to buy one, and probably many K2 owners too. It's not being disloyal to the K2 - it is just another notch in one's belt, in one's arsenal of ham technology gear.

This surprised me. I needed some fiddly bits for this weekend's net. Drove to HRO in Portland and wandered about a bit. Asked a few questions about this and that and joshed them a bit about things. Got quite a number of answers and then the biggie. I was asked about the CW nets I had mentioned in passing. Casually I said I run the Elecraft CW Nets on Sunday. Well, then and there, I was thanked for running the nets. One of them (nameless unless he wishes to reveal himself :) shook my hand and thanked me. He had worked me from Florida more than once on his K1 and enjoyed the experience. Thank you Mr. Nameless :) I enjoyed hearing your encomium. I blushed a might and kept my head pointed at the gear. Running the nets are thanks enough for me. I get a kick out of hearing all you folks from thither and yon. Next summer I hope to work my way across the continent toward Wisconsin and maybe even eastward. If I meet you on my journey I will thank you for being part of my learning experience. Learning what I can and cannot do with my K2/100 has been exciting. Learning CW while you people suffer is my albatross. (Apologies to all mariners) The Sun now rose upon the right: Out of the sea came he, Still hid in mist, and on the left Went down into the sea. And the good south wind still blew behind, But no sweet bird did follow, Nor any day for food or play Came to the mariners' hollo! And I had done an hellish thing, And it would work 'em woe: For all averred, I had killed the bird That made the breeze to blow. Ah wretch ! said they, the bird to slay, That made the breeze to blow! Nor dim nor red, like God's own head, The glorious Sun uprist: Then all averred, I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea. Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down, 'Twas sad as sad could be; And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea! All in a hot and copper sky, The bloody Sun, at noon, Right up above the mast did stand, No bigger than the Moon. Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea. About, about, in reel and rout The death-fires danced at night; The water, like a witch's oils, Burnt green, and blue and white. And some in dreams assuréd were Of the Spirit that plagued us so; Nine fathom deep he had followed us From the land of mist and snow. And every tongue, through utter drought, Was withered at the root; We could not speak, no more than if We had been choked with soot. Ah! well a-day! what evil looks Had I from old and young! Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. -- Mr. Coleridge saith words I cannot match. I run the Net oft caught in my debauch.

Re: [Elecraft] Why no IF shift ?
Wow. Thanks Don!! john-n4dsp - Original Message - From: Don Wilhelm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 8:39 PM Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Why no IF shift ? Folks, (long philosophical response - delete if not interested in my opinion). Some very good points mentioned in this thread, but the reality of all of it is compromise. For any given price target, some tradeoffs must be made. If I can interpret the K2 design goals loosely, the dynamic range was considered uppermost, and good sensitivity and IP3 performance running a close second. To achieve that in a kit product, single conversion IMHO is the only realistic way to go. Yes, there ae very good designs out there for multi-conversion receivers and they have their costs and limitations, but the K2 is a compromise of all that. It is single conversion because that is the way to contain the dynamic range and good IP3 characteristics within the chosen price range. It is well known that one must get into the $3K+++ transceivers to achieve those receive parameters that K2/100 owners have achieved for less than half that price. Certainly, IF shift is not an easy acomplishment with a single conversion transceiver. Answering one question posed in the thread which asked why a BFO frequency knob would not do the deed - the answer is YES, BUT - if only the BFO frequency is changed, the displayed frequency would no longer be correct - the firmware currently corrects for both the BFO and VFO frequencies and displays the correct carrier frequency, so while passband tuning might be accomplished simply by changing the BFO, the VFO would have to be altered manually to compensate for the BFO shift, and the resulting frequency on the dial would be incorrect. We used to do exactly that on receivers with a variable BFO, but then we did not have digital dials that were good to the nearest 10 Hz (but I digress). When CAL FIL is run, all that is taken into consideration in the firmware, and the EEPROM values contain the result of that calibration run which produces correct carrier frequency dial readings - you have to give up one thing to gain another in any design process unless 'price is no object'. If the world were perfect, we would all have receivers with a 120+ dB dynamic range, straight sided selectivity curves (with perfectly flat pass band shapes and no change in group delay across the passband), MDS figures in the -160 dB range and all that at a cost of less than $100 - of course I am dreaming based on today's technology and price/performance criteria that would be within the budget of the majority of hams. There is no sense in developing a superior design for production that would sell only one unit because of the cost involved - that is the stuff that extreme designs can produce, but those are currently the stuff of advanced homebrewers - they are the designs of tomorrow when the price of such designs comes down to an affordable level suitable for production. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 7:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Why no IF shift ? In a message dated 8/8/06 6:41:46 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: One problem with single down conversion receivers is that their stronger spurious responses which, depending on the IF used, can be close to or even in one or more of the frequency bands covered by the receiver. How? In a single conversion superhet, the most important spurs are the image and IF feedthrough. In the case of a K2, the image is always about 9.830 MHz from the desired signal, and the IF is around 4.915 MHz. The bandpass filters take care of those spurs very well, in my experience. If bandpass filters are used between the antenna connector and the mixer, their selectivity might offer some degree of protection against signals coming in at spurious response frequencies outside but close to the bands covered but obviously no protection against anything coming in at an in-band spurious response frequency. What in band spurs exist in the K2? The choice of IF that reduces this problem in a single down conversion receiver is quite limited. In a double conversion receiver, up and then down, assuming that sensible design and construction practices are followed, the close or in-band spurious responses (if they exist) are considerably reduced. That may be the case in a general-coverage receiver, but in a ham-bands-only design, the spurious responses are easily handled by good input filters. Then there is the internal birdie problem, usually created by one or more of the receiver's oscillators and /or their harmonics getting together to produce a signal at some spurious response frequency of the receiver.
