Re: [Elecraft] Logging Programs
CQRLOG is a very good general logging program for Linux and there is now a version that works well on the Raspberry Pi B 2: https://www.cqrlog.com/node/1455 I used it with an RPI2 running Linux Mate and it worked very well. The only reason I switched back to a desktop machine is that WINE does not work on the PI and I use it to run the W2 wattmeter software which is not available in Linux. 73 Bill NZ0T -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Logging-Programs-tp7614653p7614726.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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] K1 AGC mod
I just built K1 SN 3353 and it's a neat little rig. I usually wear headphone so now that I've experienced the AGC lag I would like to do something about it. I know it's audio derived so it will never sound like a K2 or K3 but if I could reduce the loud spike at the start of a received transmission it would help. From perusing the net it looks to me like the most common mod involves replacing C31 on the RF board with a 1uf and C67 on the same board with a .22uf.

Re: [Elecraft] Got the W2 interface and utility working on Linux
Tom, The issue was that I had the W2 interface running fine in Wine but could not get it to connect to my computer. Several people responded here and were very helpful but it was Martin DM4IM who sent me this which was easy to read, understand and accomplish: Hello Bill, try this: Linux handles serial devices different from windows. Your usb-serial adaptor probably will be recogniced as /dev/ttyUSB0, while your Windows-Software running under wine only can handle COMx. So you need to tell wine what device it should use for serial communications. You can do this by linking the linux-device to the windows device. Open a console and type: ls /dev/ttyUSB* You should see a reply like this: /dev/ttyUSBx where x is probably 0 (zero). Now, assuming the x was 0 (zero), type (case-sensitive!) or simply copy and paste: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 If you type correct, this will put a file named com1 in /home/yourusername/.wine/dosdevices where /.wine is a hidden directory. Check if the file is there by typing ls ~/.wine/dosdevices Amongst a number of drive-letters, you should find a file named com1 (This step might or might not be neccessary: (Then log out and back in.

[Elecraft] K3 strange power surging behavior
My K3 SN 1502 with MCU 4.83 is exhibiting a strange surge in transmit power level. When the rig is keyed in CW with the power set all the way up power output surges from a high of around 140 (!) watts down to 60 watts and back in a rapid fashion. It is at it's worst on 30 meters shows at least a high power spike on all bands except 160 and 80 before it settles down to around 100 watts. If I turn the power down the cycling is much less severe but there is still a leading spike of around 140 watts. I have tried reloading the firmware with no luck. I have checked all my jumpers and connections and they are fine and the rig does this even straight into a dummy load. My power supply is an Astron RS-35M in great shape. I should mention that we suffered a lightning strike last Labor Day weekend that took out my Ten Tec tuner, W2 wattmeter and a few other things but the K3 was not affected at all and I hope this problem is not some delayed thing from that strike! An ideas? The rig is almost six years old - maybe I need to open it up and make sure screws are all tight? 73 Bill NZ0T -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-strange-power-surging-behavior-tp7590991.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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

I almost always wear headphones so the fan has never bothered me. I tried a JetStream switcher from CheapHam last year but it put S9+ out all over the HF bands so back it went!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Auto Notch distortion
I love my K3. It's the best rig I've ever used, let alone owned. But the auto notch is a weak point. Yes, it does find and eliminate carriers but it introduces significant distortion. The manual notch is superb and does not introduce any distortion so that's what I use. What is perplexing to me is that the Icom IC-7200 I recently acquired as a back up rig has an auto notch that works very well while introducing little to no distortion. The 7200 is a nice entry level rig but no where near a match for the K3 except for the auto notch.

Re: [Elecraft] The Old Days
The conclusion here may well be part of it. A coworker who worked in avionics in a former life told me that the use of AM for aircraft communications is indeed for the ease of tuning but also because a weaker station can be heard under a stronger one unlike with FM and its capture effect (likely true for digital). AM allows an air controller or other aircraft to hear an emergency call when another station is transmitting. Based on my experience, I have no reason to doubt his conclusion. 73, de Nate, N0NB Nate, that is exactly the reason AM is still used for aviation. 73 Bill NZ0T (old pilot). -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Don-s-comments-on-ESSB-and-AM-tp7569294p7569345.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Re: [Elecraft] A Success Story
Yes, Elecraft products are tops but in my mind the case study would be about the excellent customer service that Elecraft provides. I have dealt with very few organizations that have been as responsive and helpful as Elecraft and IMHO that ability to respond to customers is just as important as the products themselves. One of my first bosses many years ago always said that every company makes mistakes - it's how they respond to those mistakes that makes all the difference. Elecraft makes very few mistakes in the first place but when they do the response is cheerful, immediate and always helpful. I don't know if it's the highly decentralized (but highly communicative via the internet) organization or just a top-down attitude but I think many organizations could learn a lot by studying Elecraft. 73 Bill NZ0T P.S.

His report was no hum, clear good sounding audio, with S7 signal. So I am suspicious of my florescent lights in the garage although they are on right now with no hum. I am thinking though that maybe there is something intermittent with those lights. But, then again, the something loose in the mic cord maybe be the cause too. But, I jiggled that cord and connection and so on quite vigorously before when I had the hum and it did not change the hum status. Then, when the hum disappeared, I did those jiggle the cord and connector on the mic tests again and the hum DID NOT come back. Wow, I can't believe I have spent the entire morning fooling around with this. I even called into work and said that I was not coming in today just to work on this problem.

That last part really suggests something loose in the mike cord as I suggested at first. Ron AC7AC -Original Message- Ron, OK, now it appears I was mistaken when I said that that the hum was in both mics. I think I flubbed something up in my previous test due to the way that the macros are assigned to keys which led me to thinking that the hum occurred in both mics. But, I learned something in this... One, don't try to use one of your macro assigned keys (in my case M2 and M1) while in the menu because that merely reassigns the key to the new menu entry. I made this mistake several times this morning. But, when I discovered it and then reset my macro definitions, I rediscovered that the HUM occurs in the front panel MH2 hand held mic only. I did this test several times to make sure I was not confusing things. I discovered something else that I did not know before. PTT is actuated by any of the methods of PTT. So, when I thought I had the headphones CM500 mic enabled I used my foot switch for push to talk and since that worked for some dumb reason I was thinking I had successfully switched from front panel to rear panel. But, I had not. I also discovered that I could use the hand mic (front panel) PTT switch even though my rear panel mic was being used. Now, after I discovered this, I realize that it is obvious but something that lead to my confusion. So, the problem occurs on the FRONT PANEL mic only and not the rear panel. And, the problem occurs when the K3 is in TOTAL isolation from all AC sources except for possibly me. I mean, I am holding the mic but then I don't think that is a cause of the hum because I tried it with a insulated hand and it still caused the hum on the front panel mic. I doubt that this is caused by wall-outlet type AC because I have erased all AC for some of my tests. And, besides, this problem seemed to occur OK, while writing that last sentence something occurred to me. Another change I had made on Wednesday after I had my good audio reports on the MH2 front panel mic was that I set the configuration for the band specific power levels to work with the KPA500. So, I just now went to test the mic and change that setting around but the hum is gone. I repeat, the hum is gone from the front panel mic. I now can't test the band specific power menu setting because I have no problem. But, I have a suspicion as to the cause now and I am going to do some other experiments. 73, phil __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email]http://user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=7185299i=0 This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html -- If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Hum-on-Audio-tp7182701p7185299.html To start a new topic under Elecraft, email ml-node+s365791n365791...@n2.nabble.com To unsubscribe from Elecraft, click herehttp://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_codenode=365791code=bnowdGhhbUBnbWFpbC5jb218MzY1NzkxfDE0MzcxNDc4Nzk= .

Re: [Elecraft] K3 S9 43' Vertical
I have an S9 43' vertical. You will need the unun to match 60 meters and up. The 80M coil works well too. I ended up building the matchbox that Phil AD5X designed. You can see his article here: http://www.ad5x.com/images/Articles/Match160.pdf Phil also has a nice presentation on the 43' antenna here: http://www.ad5x.com/images/Presentations/Vertical43.pdf It's a great antenna if matched properly. It must be matched at the base with a remote tuner, an unun, or coil to work properly. The unun (on 60M and up) keeps the SWR down to manageable levels that you can match with a tuner in the shack with acceptable coax losses. The SWR gets out of hand below 60M and must be matched at the base. 73 Bill nz0t -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-S9-43-Vertical-tp6193993p6196827.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Re: [Elecraft] Bad start to FD - smoked a K3!!!!
Ok guys lets get a few things straightened out here. Number one all of the answers that were slanderous or laced with ridacule were very much uncalled for. This was not a planned operation. It was the case of one operator rising early on FD and getting on with power. This was not and I repeat not going to be used in field day operations. The operator of the K3 that was fried arose and went into an operating area completely away from the gentleman whom was operating qro and turned on his K3 unaware of the early morning dx hunter whom was just being a ham radio operator. We posted the incident hoping that someone would come up with a cure that we could apply in the field. That was all that was intended and nothing else. All here are experienced operators and would never have intentionally done this on purpose. It just is a very unfortunate incident that yes should have not happened but it did so now we will try to get it fixed and go on. We are sorry to have cause so much trouble. I suggest this thread should end unless someone can give us a credible fix.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 SWR error
It depends on band but sometimes I see 2.5 on the W2 (verified by my analyzer and SWR meters in my Ten Tec tuner and a TS-940S) but 1.5 or so on the K3. For the most part the K3 shows a lower SWR than any of the rest of my meters. And, for the most part my W2 agrees cloely with my analyzer, 940, tuner and W2. An example - on 80 meters: K3 1.4 Analyzer 1.9 Tuner 1.9 940 2.1 W2 2.1 Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing but the 80 meter results are pretty typical for each band with the K3 lower that the others that are all fairly close to each other. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-SWR-error-tp4732831p4738535.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.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
[Elecraft] K3 SWR error
I have K3-100 kit 1502 with the internal tuner and FW 3.76. I know there have been many posts about the meter SWR error but I really haven't seen a resolution posted. Before I bought my W2 I used a cheap SWR/Power meter and I thought the error was in it. Now that I have the W2 (which appears to be very accurate) I see that the K3 SWR indication can be very different than my W2, Ten Tec tuner, analyzer and my other HF rigs with or without the internal tuner in line. My concern is that if the K3 reads SWR incorrectly that the power may not fold back and there may be a risk of damage to the finals. Is there any procedure to correct the error? I understand that stray capacitance can cause differences but I would really like to have a more accurate measurement by the rig. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-SWR-error-tp4732831p4732831.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Here are the settings I use - worked out with a group on 1.947 that is very up on all that SSB stuff. 1+4 2+1 3+1 4+2 5+2 6 0 7 0 8 0 Seems to need some help in the lower frequencies.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 how often do you use it?
Don't know about actual time but 90% the K3 and 10% my pristine TS-940S. Mike-14 wrote: I didn't find any questions about marketing when I took my ham exams.

Thanks David! Nice to have the Always on top. 73 Bill nz0t David Fleming-2 wrote: An updated version of the W2 Interface software is available for download. Version 1.1.1.1 Windows: http://sight.net/W2/W2_WIN.zip Mac: http://sight.net/W2/W2_OSX.zip - Added Always on top option. When selected in SETUP, this option allows the W2 Interface to run as a global floating window. It will stay on top of all other application's windows regardless of which window has focus. Requires closing and restarting the program before taking effect. - Added support for multiple instances. You can now control multiple W2's by using multiple copies of the program running simultaneously, each with it's own preferences (serial port, window positions, etc). You need to make a copy of the executable file and rename it to whatever name you want to use to identify the W2 it will connect to. For example, you could name one of the executables W2 K3-HF.exe and another W2 Yaesu-VHF.exe. The filename is used to create a unique preferences file and is also displayed in the title bar of the Interface window. There are more elegant ways to do this, and I may further refine it in a future release, but this was relatively easy to implement and works FB. It should be able to handle any number of W2's - IF you have the W2's, a fast PC with lots of RAM, lots of disk space to hold all the .exe's, and lots of serial ports. :-) - Numerous internal changes and tweaks.

Re: [Elecraft] W2 Wattmeter
I'm very happy with my W2. There was an issue with an intermittent in the sensor cable but that was quickly resolved. It seems accurate enough to me on a subjective basis - I have no Bird to compare it to. As far as resolution goes the computer display resolution does rely on LED's and is a continuous bar with a switchable peak indication. This is only the 2nd version of the diplay software and I'm sure it will continue to improve. I have a friend that has the LP-100A and it's a really nice meter but I'm not sure I want to pay $120 more for it. 73 Bill NZ0T Phil amp; Debbie Salas wrote: Those are good points about the trigger and perception of accuracy of the W2. I have yet to see field test data of the W2 in regards to accuracy of the Wattmeter and SWR indications. According to the manual the W2 has an accuracy of +- 0.5dB typical (nothing about worst-case). This is 10-12% accuracy. Not as good as the PowerMaster/LP-100A/Telepost class of wattmeters that use NIST-traceable cal equipment (which should get you more like 3-5% accuracy). Of course, those are $100-$150 more expensive than the W2. If you use the W2 LED display, your perceived error could be greater than the 10-12%. As an example, if you really have 100 watts and the W2 reads it 1/2-dB low, then possibility only the 80-watt LED would light. So this would give you a 20% reading error. Maybe the ARRL will do a review sometime soon.

Re: [Elecraft] External speakers suitable for K3
I'm using an old set of Radio Shack Minimus 0.8 (40-1313) amplified speakers I had laying around with my K3. They are black and match the K3 nicely. Small but sound great and no hint of any RF problems at up to 500 watts. No longer made but if you can find some they work well. Powered by 4 D cells or external 6 volt source. They automatically turn them selves off after a few minutes without any input and come back on when it is resumed which helps save batteries. I power them with an old 6 volt cell phone charger wall wart I had in the junk box. 73 Bill NZ0T Julian, G4ILO wrote: I got a nice pair of computer speakers this afternoon in Aldi that look and sound good when used with my K3.

They have a tone control that very effectively eliminates any tiring high frequency hiss. They run from a 14V supply and the power input is a regular barrel type connector so they can easily be powered from the shack supply avoiding the need for another wall-wart.

Re: [Elecraft] New W2 Firmware Rev 0.92 available on our ftp site!
Thanks Brian - the improvement in AUTO is very evident in my limited use so far. Really looking forward to the software for computer display! Brian Broggie wrote: Hot news! The latest W2 firmware rev (0.92) is now available on our ftp site. The easiest way to get it downloaded into your W2 is with our Elecraft W2 Utility program, available in three flavors (PC, Mac, Linux). Check out the Elecraft website for all the details! This new W2 firmware version has the following cool features... First, a fix: *SWR LED's FLASH RANDOMLY WHEN A SENSOR IS CONNECTED:* This turned out to be caused by corrupted data in EEPROM. This version checks for this and will correct it by restoring the data to default settings. And then some enhancements: SENSOR CALIBRATION VALUES EXPANDED: The calibration data for the Sensors is now saved both by Sensor type and the connector used by the Sensor. Among other benefits, this allows you to calibrate two of the same type of Sensors independently. FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN AUTO RANGE DISPLAY: We are continuing to improve the LED display in the Auto mode. In addition to editing algorithms, we are setting the LED and Serial Data Output modes to default as PEP, rather than Average Power. This can be changed at any time using the M (LED's) and N (Serial Data) commands We hope this latest version makes the W2 an even more useful and enjoyable wattmeter for your shack.

Anyone else had this happen? 73 Bill NZ0T -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Weird-W2-problem-tp4156475p4156475.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.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
Re: [Elecraft] [MM] W2 Questions [pending firmware changes and software applications]
Thanks for the update Wayne - do you srill anticipate the first version of the PC software to be available this week? 73 Bill nz0t wayne burdick wrote: We'll be making a number of improvements to W2 firmware in future releases (starting in January). Firmware updates are very easy to do on the W2, and the required serial cable is supplied. For example, the last LED segment illuminated will be able to show a range of intensities (from off to fully on), allowing you to resolve power steps with finer granularity than the panel labeling. This will be especially useful when peaking amplifiers. We also have PC and Mac software applications in the works that will provide very high-resolution bargraphs and additional features. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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 -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Re-W2-Questions-pending-firmware-changes-and-software-applications-tp4143406p4143514.html Sent from the [MM] mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Re: [Elecraft] [MM] Any progress on the PC VisualBasic software upgrade for the W2??
Sorry, I didn't specify for the W2! This is the software that will allow display of the W2 output on a computer.

Another thing with the new version is that you have to log in every day.

[Elecraft] [MM] W2 connection problem
I have no problem connecting to my W2 using the utility directly thru my laptops port but when I try to use my virtual ports emulator (from Eterlogic.com) I can't get it to work. It says it is sending and receiving ; but doesn't do anything else. This port emulator program works great with my K3 allowing me to run AcLog and K3_EZ at the same time using one port with a usb/serial adapter. The settings I have in the port emulation program are: Speed 9600 DTR/RTS NO Parity no Bits 8 Stop bits 1 Read/Interval Timeout -1 I would like to be able to run AcLOg and the W2 computer display at the same time when it becomes available. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Go slow - I'm computer stupid! 73 Bill nz0t -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/W2-connection-problem-tp4060656p4060656.html Sent from the [MM] mailing list archive at Nabble.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
