Re: [Elecraft] KX3: transverter schematic?
the 2m transverter is different than the K3 - yeah, since the K3 does not operate on 2m. I suppose you meant the K144XV transverter installed internal to the K3. Answer is the KX2-2M is very different architecture. It converts 144-148 to 50-54 MHz unlike other Elecraft transverters that convert to 28-30 MHz. I found that I have the KX3 schematic but not the 2M transverter schematic. I have the block diagram somewhere (I think). It was up on the Elecraft website when the transverter was introduced but don't think you will find it now. But really I can't see why one would need to have the schematic as the density of component on the pc board is not reparable by most hams. This is one thing one should just send back to Elecraft. David has his own reasons and I will not ask. I once considered whether an ext. LO synth could be used and found out from Wayne how different the design was. Temp compensation plus heat sink mostly took care of frequency stability issues for HF/6m. I've not tested 2m for drift; running under 3w probably does not produce much heat. 73, Ed - KL7UW Date: Fri, 27 May 2016 13:04:55 -0400 From: Nr4c <n...@widomaker.com> To: Ken Arck <k...@arcomcontrollers.com> Cc: David Anderson <gm4...@yahoo.co.uk>, Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3: transverter schematic?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: transverter schematic? I have it!
Thanks to a kind person on this list, I have a copy of the schematic for the KX3 2m transverter. It is the one I recall, but have no idea where I saw it before. Please don't ask me for a copy as I don't know the status of this and don't want to get into any trouble with party. I am not thinking of copying it by the way! - I just ordered the 4m version and am arming myself with as much info as I can before it arrives. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 27 May 2016, at 15:32, David Anderson via Elecraft >wrote: > > Is there a schematic diagram for the KX3 internal transverter series > available? > > I was sure I had seen one at some point in the past, perhaps it was in some > slide show by Elecraft when they introduced it, but I can't locate it now. > > > 73 from David GM4JJJ > __ > 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 gm4...@yahoo.co.uk __ 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] KX3: transverter schematic?
Sorry Ken, It is a completely different design, I know that much. For a start it is credit card sized and it takes the LO from the KX3 not a built in Xtal Osc. I may have imagined seeing the schematic or detailed block diagram in some presentation, but there appears to be nothing on the Elecraft site, and no schematic in the downloadable manual for the transverter, though it does give a brief written explanation of the transverter. I am surprised that a schematic isn't included with the transverter actually. 73 from David GM4JJJ > On 27 May 2016, at 17:00, Ken Arckwrote: > > > Hi David > > As I said, unless it's changed since the K3.. > > (I'm not sure it has) > > Ken > > At 08:54 AM 5/27/2016, David Anderson wrote: >> Sorry Ken, that appears to be the K3 not KX3. >> >> 73 from David GM4JJJ >> >> > On 27 May 2016, at 16:06, Ken Arck wrote: >> > >> > Unless it's changed since the K3s came out: >> > >> > http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3_Schematics_Jun_2010.pdf >> > >> > Ken >> > >> > >> > At 07:32 AM 5/27/2016, David Anderson via Elecraft wrote: >> >> Is there a schematic diagram for the KX3 internal transverter series >> >> available? >> >> >> >> I was sure I had seen one at some point in the past, perhaps it was in >> >> some slide show by Elecraft when they introduced it, but I can't locate >> >> it now. >> >> >> >> >> >> 73 from David GM4JJJ >> >> __ >> >> 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 k...@arcomcontrollers.com >> > >> > -- >> > President and CTO - Arcom Communications >> > Makers of repeater controllers and accessories. >> > http://www.arcomcontrollers.com/ >> > Authorized Dealers for Kenwood and Telewave and >> > we offer complete repeater packages! >> > AH6LE/R - IRLP Node 3000 >> > http://www.irlp.net >> > "We don't just make 'em.
