In actual usage, I get about 250W - 300W out from my KPA500 when driven
with 15W from my KX3.

I use it in my RV station, description linked to on my qrz.com page.

A bit off topic, but I thought I’d ask anyway.  Would using a HA1YA 6 meter 
transverter with the K3S improve performance on noise level reduction and 
sensitivity over the stock K3S?

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Conrad PA5Y]

Hello Ed, the HA1YA and DB6NT transverters are also considerably better than 
the DEMI designs which are 3 generations behind. I have been in serious pursuit 
of low PN and low IMD on 144 and 432 and I found that either of the 
aforementioned transverters with a K3S were many times better than anything 
else. I looked at almost everything out there, it took 2 years but there really 
was no other choice. There used to be 3 choices but sadly the Anglian (144) and 
Iceni (432) kits from G4DDK are no longer an option, on 70cms I have an Iceni. 
With the K3S , Iceni and a TV TX I am achieving TX 3rd orders of -53dBc, I am 
so pleased with this. The composite noise @ 20kHz is 33dBc/Hz better than any 
other radio that I have measured. On 2m 25dB better for composite noise I am 
still working on 2m intemods, so far the whole chain is -40dbc 3rd orders but I 
would like to improve this by at least 6dB, the problem is an LDMOS driver and 
nothing to do with the K3S or HA1YA transverter.

I have a bit more to say about the K3S and TX IMD on 6m in another post.

Kjeld,

I agree with Conrad PA5Y,  both Kuhne Engineering or  HA1YA make very good 
transverters and are available in EU.

I would add the DEMI L-series transverter which now is made by a company called 
Q5 (located in US) for any NA hams reading the mail on this topic.
I use DEMI transverters on digital-eme on 144, 1296, and higher (have had 
144,222, 432, 1296, 3456, and 10-GHz models).

I also use preamps located at antennas on 6m, 2m, 432, 1296+  Even though local 
electronic noise can be high at times, when its not they make a huge 
difference.  Only for 6m (50-MHz) would I agree that it might not give much 
help (but if you have a K3, it needs either a PR6 or other preamp to bring up 
6m &10m sensitivity; not an issue with K3s or K4).  MY KX3 with internal preamp 
ON = my K3 + PR6 in sensitivity on 6m)

The early reports on the IC-9700 were not favorable for freq stability (though 
I read they had addressed this, lately).  Still investment in K3s + good 
transverter will beat the IC-9700 without a doubt.

I plan for a second station to use for digital modes on 144MHz only. 
If you look at performance only (no price, no ergonomics, no use outside

1)   K3/K3S with internal transverter

Most people use the Eneloop Pro batteries for the internal set. They have good 
capacity, low self-discharge, and are unlikely to leak.

$33 for an eight-pack at Amazon.

I was using my regular wire-in-a-tree antenna this morning, and couldn’t get it 
back out. If I’d had my 14-year-old son with me, he could’ve climbed up and 
retrieved it. I wasn’t feeling so frisky. So I just got out the AX1 and used 
that instead. Conditions are pretty good in WPX.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Jim Brown]

I strongly agree with this. Years ago, I had a similar experience with 
JT65 on 160M in a sked with a station in ND. He decoded at -12 and said 
he was running 40 or 50W, so I called him at that power level. No 
response, so I increased power in 2X (3dB) steps until he answered. I 
had to get to the top of the KPA500 before he responded.


I'm convinced that most hams have high noise levels, much of the noise 
produced by stuff in their own homes that they have not bothered to get 
rid of. Here's my tutorial on doing that.
http://k9yc.com/KillingReceiveNoise.pdf and slides for my talk at 
Visalia two years ago.

http://k9yc.com/KillingRXNoiseVisalia.pdf

50W IS plenty of power for most QSOs on the HF bands, but it is NOT for 
5,000 mile paths on 160M, or multi-hop E-skip on 6M. I'm about 70 miles 
S of San Francisco (which puts EU in the range of 5,000 - 6,500 miles 
and over the polar region to get there) with a pretty decent antenna 
farm, including both a Beverage and pair of phased loops beamed to EU. 
For at least three years I never heard a single EU station on CW, heard 
only three this year, and running 1500W, managed to work only one of them.


Running FT8 on 160M this season, I made about 20 QSOs to EU, 10 of them 
new countries on the band. I had to run 1500W to do it, and I made lots 
of calls to stations who were in the range of -12 to -22. I'm also 
trying to finish 160M QRP WAS, and need VT and SC. Unfortunately, the 
stations working FT8 in those states are either noise limited, or don't 
have (or don't use) RX antennas pointed in this direction.


I've had similar experience on 6M -- I regularly give better signal 
reports than I receive.


OTOH, I AM bothered by stations constantly CQing on 160M running high 
power when the band is not open to DX, and working less than 1,000 
miles. I almost never call CQ, but rather find a clear spot to TX, lock 
my TX to that frequency, and wait for decodes on stations I want to work.


DXpeditions are often the easiest to work with low power, because they 
have very good operators, take both RX and TX antennas seriously, and 
mostly work to keep noise levels low. I often work DXpeditions with 5W.

more than one country on 160M using 1500 watts feeding a pair of phased

A good rule is to run the minimum power necessary to make the contact; and yes,

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Dave]

Actually if you are trying to work a station who is -24 and that station is 
running 1500 watts then you probably won’t work him with 250 watts. 

It is a weak signal mode. Run power appropriate to what is needed to make a 
contact. 

Now if that station at 1500 watts is +10 then you can work him on a lot less 
than 250 watts. 

The point is under certain conditions it is NOT a low power mode.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

Remember FT8 is a weak signal mode not a low power mode.
A perfect example this morning working a ZL on 80 meters I decoded him at -24. 
I started at 200 Watts no reply. At 400 Watts no reply. I continued replying 
increasing power in 200 Watt increments. Finally at 1200 Watts he gave me a -18 
and I gave him a -20. Of course I do not know how much power he was running on 
his end or his receive antenna situation. Even at 1500 Watts your signal can be 
weak (weak signal mode) to the station you are attempting to work.

[a45wg]

Mike,
Most SDR “hacking”  unless those very hardcore people with good RF 
building skills takes place on the I/Q (SDR Output) data.

I would point you in the path of GNU-Radio which offers IMHO the 
easiest path to SDR processing for learning DSP processing and implementation. 
Depending on the SDR Radio you can also generate your Signal here and send it 
back out via your SDR Device.

There are plenty of Open-Source SDR Projects out there - some more 
understandable than others

I would highly recommend the Red Pitaya project as a good neutral SDR 
test bed, for this you can mess with EVERYTHING !!

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

The Elecraft gear is software defined radio, but the software is not 
open source and not available for modification by the user.


Software changes may be requested of the developers, and some may be 
implemented if the user audience that will use those added functions is 
sufficiently large.  So yes, the firmware is proprietary to Elecraft, 
and not open source.


The K3 and K3S are hybrid designs which have an analog front end with 
down-conversion to 15kHz where the DSP software is processed.


The KX3 and KX2 use a quadrature mixer which brings the IF directly to 
an IF that is then processed in DSP.


You will find that the Elecraft gear to be among the top performers for 
receive (see the Sherwood listings).  The K3, K3S, KX3, KX2 and the pure 
analog K2 are quite high on the Sherwood ratings.


If you are looking for superior receive characteristics, then Elecraft 
may be your answer.  If you are looking for open source firmware with 
the resultant "user defined" functions, then you might want to look at 
the HDSDR which will allow open source alterations - https://openhpsdr.org/.


The Elecraft reflector will reject any images and other forms of HTML. 
This reflector is plain text only.  If you want others to view images, 
put them in a publically available place and provide a link in your post.

Hi Wayne, thanks for this. I see the advantage now that I see the schematic for 
the BL2 (although the switch is not shown in the circuit). The common mode to 
differential mode isolation right at the BNC connector alone could help out. 

OK this is on my list to pick up when I see you next at Dayton.

This will vary from one installation to the next. 

When I'm not traveling ultralight, I carry a BL2 balun with me. The BL2 has a 
4:1 / 1:1 switch so you can try both positions. This will almost always expand 
the range of bands you can cover with a given ad-hoc antenna. As noted, the

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Nate Bargmann]

Hi Ed, and all.

I'm not sure where the confusion lies, perhaps I did not communicate
well.  I'm not seeing any problem.  I have my rig control settings
exactly as recommended in the WSJT-X user guide.

All I wanted to point out is whether the use of VOX as reported was the
cause for the loss of TX audio.  I have WSJT-X set to use CAT for PTT.
As presumably the OP is already using radio control, it makes little
sense to me to use VOX.  By setting PTT via CAT, spurious sounds from
the computer will not cause the radio to transmit.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Don Wilhelm]

Danny,

You will find that in the firmware release notes.  This one is from MCU 
5.33 dated Aug 2015.
"To turn on safe mode on/off, go into CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to 
select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on."


When upgrading firmware, it is always a good idea to review the firmware 
release notes between your present level and the new level being loaded 
- that way you will know about things like this and should have no 
surprises.


These recent changes have not made it into the manual yet.  Consider the 
firmware release notes as updates to the manual.

Jeff,

I have no idea what you are doing wrong, but here are a few thoughts:
After making the menu change, are you exiting from the menu? Tap the MENU
button.
Are you 'pulling the plug" when you say you turn the radio off and back on?
Just like your computer, you must use the POWER button if the state is to be
saved.

Do you have anything plugged into the USB or RS-232 port that might be
causing a command to reset the menu entry?  Pull out the USB cable and/or
the RS-232 cable and try again.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[n9tf]

Could this be the reason. Does the K3S need to be switched off of safe mode for 
the PTT-PTT settings to not change? 
  


PTT/KEY USE WITH THE USB PORT IMPROVED: Some PC applications can control PTT 
and 

KEY at the K3S via the RTS/DTR signals of the USB port. However, use of these 
signals may also allow 

the PC’s USB port initialization to unexpectedly activate transmit at the K3S. 
This can happen if the 

computer is turned on after the K3S, or if the USB cable is not connected. 
There is now a "Safe" mode 

(the default) which disables PTT-KEY transmit until the K3S receives a command 
via USB, such as a 

read of the rig's VFO frequency. To turn on safe mode on/off, go into 
CONFIG:PTT-KEY and tap '1' to 

select "USB SAFE" or "UNSAFE". Exit the menu and turn the K3S off/on. 
Applications that use PTTKEY 

via USB but never send commands may require "UNSAFE" mode. In this case, 
unwanted 

transmit can be avoided by turning the PC on before the K3S.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject) [FLDIGI vs P3]

[Don Wilhelm]

Brandon,

The PX3 (or P3) give a spectrum analysis of the portion of the band that 
is included in the Span (up to 200 kHz) as well as a waterfall display.
Signals within that band can be identified as SSB, CW, PSK, RTTY and 
many other modes on the spectrum display.  The spectrum display is a 
'real time' display of signals currently on the band.
The waterfall shows signals over time which shows signals that have been 
present in the past.  That is helpful for identifying weak signals.


With FlDigi (or other soundcard digital displays), you are looking at a 
portion of the band that is as great as the filter in use in the 
receiver (usually up to 2.7 to 3kHz wide - the bandwidth of the filters 
being used in the transceiver).  The modes that can be decoded depend on 
the software application (FlDigi has many).  There is no spectrum 
display, you have only the waterfall.  Click on the signal of interest 
in the waterfall and it will be decoded as long as you have selected the 
proper digital mode for that signal.


With the K3, when operating soundcard digital modes, you should be set 
to DATA A rather than SSB (if decoding RTTY, set to AFSK A). Data modes 
on the K3 (and KX3) automatically set the compression to zero and the TX 
EQ to flat even though you may have different settings for SSB.
If compression or TX IQ is used for digital modes, distortion will 
result.  Yes, you can adjust those settings in SSB mode, but why bother 
when the K3/KX3 will do that automatically for you by using DATA modes.

Don W3FPR

Presumably you can do similar tuning tricks in modes other than SSB?

I'm interested in this because I'm saving up for the PX3 to go with my KX3
and want it precisely so that I can see the other interesting signals on
the band.

Dick - The P3 and Fldigi are really looking at very different signals and
have very different uses although there is some overlap, and that's what
maybe gets confusing. The P3 is a "fish finder" for a big hunk of a band -
the P3 looks at the K3's IF and can represent as much as 200kHz of it (but,
it can also represent a small portion of it, which is where it starts
looking like fldigi).  Nevertheless, the P3 allows you to do things you
cannot do with fldigi. You can use the P3 to tune the radio to an SSB
signal visually - and by that I mean not only can you see the signal, but
also you can set the radio's receive frequency to be appropriate to receive
the signal without spinning the dial.  You can also use the P3 to look at a
small span, and to decode RTTY -this is where it is like fldigi.  But, in
my opinion, fldigi is a lot better at doing this than the P3, and on the
other hand, fldigi cannot do what the P3 can with respect to tuning or
visualizing band conditions.  Bob  W

Hi,I am  rather new to this forum.  I have recently bought a K3S and am

thinking

of buying both the P3 and the P3VGA.  Presently, I am using Fldigi on my
computer and mostly  operatewith PSK and sometimes some CW. If I buy

these

am I being redundant or does it make sense to buy them?  I am hoping that
some of the members of this forum are using Fldigi and P3, and can

answer the

query. Thanks, Dick, N5XRD

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject) [FLDIGI vs P3]

[Brendon Whateley]

Presumably you can do similar tuning tricks in modes other than SSB?

I'm interested in this because I'm saving up for the PX3 to go with my KX3
and want it precisely so that I can see the other interesting signals on
the band.

Thanks,

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject) [FLDIGI vs P3]

Dick - The P3 and Fldigi are really looking at very different signals and have 
very different uses although there is some overlap, and that's what maybe gets 
confusing. The P3 is a "fish finder" for a big hunk of a band - the P3 looks at 
the K3's IF and can represent as much as 200kHz of it (but, it can also 
represent a small portion of it, which is where it starts looking like fldigi). 
 Nevertheless, the P3 allows you to do things you cannot do with fldigi. You 
can use the P3 to tune the radio to an SSB signal visually - and by that I mean 
not only can you see the signal, but also you can set the radio's receive 
frequency to be appropriate to receive the signal without spinning the dial.  
You can also use the P3 to look at a small span, and to decode RTTY -this is 
where it is like fldigi.  But, in my opinion, fldigi is a lot better at doing 
this than the P3, and on the other hand, fldigi cannot do what the P3 can with

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Don Wilhelm]

Richard,

Those are two totally different things.
The P3 display will show you the PSK or RTTY internal decode on the P3 
display, and you can send RTTY or PSK from the K3 paddles by keying CW 
characters.  With the SVGA option for the P3, you can use a keyboard to 
send those characters.  Using the K3/P3 decode, you would tune to the 
signal of interest with the VFO knob, and the bandwidth should be narrow 
to home in on one signal.  The P3 shows the signals prior to the 
filtering in the K3S, and you can click on the signal of interest.


FlDigi will give you a similar waterfall display (but it is after the 
filtering in the K3) - the K3 would be operated in a wide bandwidth, and 
you would use the FlDigi software to click on the signal of interest and 
it would be decoded for you - the software does the decoding, not the K3.


So the answer is that the difference between the P3 display and the 
FlDigi waterfall display is two different questions.
The K3S will decode PSK and RTTY signals without the P3, so try it that 
way and see if it does the decoding job for you in VFO B display area.  
If you have positive results, then the P3 may be an answer for you.


I have used both, and my preference for general operating is to continue 
with FlDigi, but the K3 decode as displayed on the P3 is good as well.
If the band is crowded, you may find the K3/P3 operated with a narrow K3 
bandwidth is better, but for general operating, FlDigi will be the 
better choice fir normal conditions.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeff,

I am not sure you want Diversity.  I would suggest you turn the SUB on 
(not Diversity) by tapping the SUB button (HOLD will get you into 
Diversity).


With the SUB on, tune to your receive frequency with the VFO A knob.  
Then tap A > B twice to transfer the frequency, mode, etc to VFO B

Then tune with the VFO B knob to your proposed transmit frequency.
Now turn on SPLIT.  Note the arrow in the display next to the TX label 
to the right side now points to VFO B.  That arrow points to the 
frequency where you will transmit.
You will hear the main receiver in your left ear, and the right ear will 
hear what is on your transmit frequency.


If you want to use Diversity, the K3 will behave more like a single 
receiver, but if using 2 antennas (one on the main and the other on the 
sub), you may be able to hear better through QSB.  In diversity, both 
the main and the sub are controlled by the VFO A knob.
If you are in diversity and want to go split, tap the A>B button twice 
and then go to SPLIT.

Move VFO B to your desired transmit frequency.
You will not be able to hear on your transmit frequency unless you hold 
the REV button - while holding that button you will hear the TX 
frequency (but not your RX frequency).


I hope that helps.

73,
Don W3FPR

Can someone please help me understand if I am doing this correctly? I want to

I have my main RX on 1.8245, then press split button and set the B VFO to 
1.835.  Then I turn on the 2nd RX in diversity, press b-set and use the B VFO 
to move it to 1.8245, narrow the filter to 400 Hz. then press b-set agn.  Now I 
lock the VFOs so they track. SUB and SPLIT indicators are on. Am I still TXing 
on 1.835 and if so how do I know that if VFO B shows the second RX QRG?

same sentence is an oxymoron, or in other words, a mirage.


RF Concepts amps were fine.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

 But no longer do you need to run a dozen pills (man I hate that
 term).  Here is all you need for 1250w 1.8-600 MHz:

Unfortunately, the LDMOS device data sheets provide *no* IMD spec's
for linear operation.  The only data is for CW and pulse service.  If
one is to extrapolate from similar LDMOS devices (single FET vs. two
FETs on a common die), one would need to derate to 800-900 W PEP in
order to achieve reasonable IMD levels.  That conclusion is further
corroborated by the compression spec's (actual vs. ideal output power)
which show the onset of output compression above 59 to 60 dBm (59 dBm
= ~800W).

The devices work at 1200 W CW (or JT65) because those modes are single
tone and work with saturated operation (class C amplifiers) where IMD
performance is not tested.

At full output these devices would be as dirty in SSB operation as the
old FM brick amplifiers were when run in SSB service - perhaps like
the RMA Italia solid state amps G.

BTW, since these are 50V parts they are not suited for mobile use at
12V (13.8 V nominal) service.

 $241.50 compared with the new price of a 8877 is pretty cheap!

To even approach the IMD performance and reliability of an 8877 you
would need two devices and the cooling problems (cost of heat sinks,
heat spreaders, etc.) are much more difficult with two of these devices
than with a single 8877.  Any cost advantage for even two of the LDMOS
devices over an 8877 will be more than offset by cooling system (in
addition to splitter/combiner and protection system) costs.

73, Ed - KL7UW

They don't need to be dirty ... the problem is that it takes so many
pills to make the power that designers tend to use the 60, 80 or
100W rated transistors right up to their saturated output rather than
limit each pair of devices to 50 - 60% of PEP output.  For example ...
the MRF-421 is rated as a 100W transistor but third  order IMD is
minimized around 50-55W.  An eight pill design could make 900W in
saturated mode but in order to keep it clean, the output would need to
kept to 500 W PEP.  This, in spite of the fact than Communications
Concepts sells a 2 x MRF-421 board set as a 180 Watt HF amplifier
(Motorola AN-762).

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Milt -- N5IA]

I used my Eico 720 (1960 through 1965) in both positions once I 'graduated' 
from the Novice class in 1961.


I had three crystals on 40 Meters which tripled to 15 Meters that were used 
in the CW bands.


I constructed the Knight Kit VFO for use in the 'phone bands together with 
the Eico 730 plate modulator.


The 6146 final produced a great 65 Watts of plate modulated AM 
transmissions.


Memories!!!  But I sure wouldn't trade my K3s and accessories for 
that setup.

Raymond,

You reminded me that I also have some old stuff with a slide switch -- I 
remember that my Eico 720 transmitter has a slide switch for VFO/Crystal 
usage.  But, I have never used that slide switch, I have no idea if it works 
or not.  It is in the crystal usage position -- I never did have a VFO.

I still have Heathkit equipment like my AR15 stereo am/fm receiver that 
has slide swithches. I built this amp in 1961 and the slide switches still 
working including the power slide switch in my SB-200 linear. If the slide 
switch is a good quality they will last many years.

Well, I didn't graduate from the Novice class until 2004.  My Novice license 
expired when I was in college ('67) and my interests were primarily physics  
math  girls in various priority order -- no room for ham radio until I was an 
old man of, now how old was I -- 56 in 2004 at the time of license (Tech  
General) passing in February.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Alan Bloom]

Try a parameter initialization.  While holding the LABELS key, tap the 
POWER switch, which will turn the P3 on if it was off.  After about 2 
seconds you should see CONFIGURATION RESET on the screen and you can 
release the LABELS key.

Well that was pleasant. I was making a band change (chasing W1AW/3 and

power-cycle I got the screen:

Press any active key to escape

I tried again, and the same screen appeared.

None of the keys did a thing. So I power cycled again and saw the same

resetting gave the same error.

What next?

Thanks.

His question is ...

Why have some operators sold their TS-590s to buy a K3?

Only one who has sold a TS-590 to purchase a K3 is competent to answer 
and state his reason for doing that.


I am almost similarly situated as the original inquisitor... I recently 
sold my 590 and now seriously consider buying a K3, but I am still on 
the fence, planning to test drive the K3 as soon as possible.


Why did I sell my 590 to consider buying the K3?   The 590 is a solid 
performer, and I enjoyed using it, and while my rig had no issues, I 
sold it because I did not enjoy the overall 590-ownership-experience, 
and although it is too complicated to explain fully here, I will say I 
was sick of too many other owners whining and expecting perfection from 
a $1500 radio, basing many complaints on unfounded or fanciful claims, 
paranoid delusions, and unreasonable expectations.  I just got sick of 
it, and of being asked by other hams about this and that so called 
issue or problem I was not experiencing, so it was no fun to own.


So, I bought a Orion II and now considering buying a K3, both of which 
radios seem free from that sort of nonsense.


That's my reason, anyway.

The 590 has some short falls.  No 2nd receiver, some issues on 10m.  
Only one roofing filter.


I owned a couple of FT-2000's and they were easy to use.  Looked pretty 
cool but had some serious performance issues in the receiver.  Sold them 
and got a K3 and then another one.


Most reflectors and groups deal with issues and problems.  I try not to 
get too involved with the negatives about what I own.

The RX muting on transmit for the second receiver is already handled for

two TS590s ;)

 -


Cause the K3 does not have a transmit spike.

Cause the K3 'may have better ALC operation (there are questions 
surrounding the 590 ALC operation... one reason I sold my 590


Cause the k3 (I think) can handle diversity audio, and you would need a 
separate device like what MFJ sells to mix and blend the two audio 
channels or keep them separate and that entails buying another accessory 
for more money


Cause you cannot transmit into the other receiver by accident when you 
have a K3 with two receivers - two 590s could be tricky as you could 
accidentally transmit into the second rig and fry its delicate front end 
- SO2R guys have this problem


Cause you might need two antennas or have an awkward time splitting one 
antenna for the two radios and then there is the time sequencing problem 
of coordinating the PTT on each one to avoid confusion or


Cause, as good as the 590 receiver specifications are, it is not as good 
a  k3 right out of the chute - the k3 is a down conversion rig on all 
bands, all the time, whereas the 590 does down conversion only on some 
bands under some conditions


Cause the K3 occupies one space and needs only one power  supply - you 
would have to buy a second supply for your second 590


Cause you would need N4PY software or equivalent to coordinate two rigs 
at additional cost - not that it is not worth it... but still it is 
something else to guy and configure and coordinate - linking the two 
rigs would be awkward I think


Cause it takes up twice the room on the desk top to have two radios do 
what one can do by itself, and shack space often comes at a premium


Cause it would be more difficult to take on the road, or to Field Day, 
or to the contest shack with the other guys, etc.


I think that is a good start why I would buy a second receiver for the 
K3 and not get two TS-590s just to have a second receiver.


Just MY take.

The 590 is a good solid radio, however the K3 offers more user dexterity 
and the optional P3 display. The overall amount of technical and 
operational variables/selections via the K3 menus allows you to have 
your own custom designed radio suited to your exact needs and desires.

Added to the earlier replies: Elecraft is the best 
company around for support. If there's a problem 
it gets fixed. Moreover, they continually upgrade 
their products with new firmeare updates -- which 
are free to download and install from your computer.


My first Elecraft product, the K2, arrived in mid 
1999 -- 15 years ago. After that and every other 
transceiver they've designed and produced I have 
only good things to say. I'm loving my K3.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Matt VK2RQ]

Can you hear the PSK signals through the KX3 speaker (when you remove the 
connector from the KX3 headphone jack, of course)? If so, then likely it is a 
problem with the audio levels or with the sound card setup on the PC. If not, 
then if you turn the amp off in the KX3 PA mode setting,  and switch the 
amplifier off, do you hear the PSK signals from the speaker? I observed one 
case at my station where switching the amplifier on would cause the KX3 to go 
deaf, I suspect due to some corrupt command being sent on the serial line 
(powering everything off, then disconnecting and reconnecting the cables 
restored everything to normal).

 Hello to the group!  I am KT4JR, wife of K4MWE (Larry).  He uses PSK a lot
 but we set it up a year ago and did not make a backup of the settings.
 Somehow the settings were lost and we are having trouble reconstructing a
 working config.  We can transmit, and FLdigi tracks the frequency on the
 radio, but we are not receiving.
 Specifics:  Elecraft KX3 with KXPA100 tuner/amp attached, Windows 7 computer
 with iMic external sound card.
 FLdigi Config set to use HamLib and port audio but PTT via HamLib is NOT
 checked (using VOX instead).  
 Com port and baud rate are the same we use to install new software updates
 to the radio, so that works.
 I know there are PSK signals to be received because we can see them on our
 other rig upstairs, but nothing shows on the KX3.
 I just saw in a FLdigi help group post that I should use debug-level-5 and I
 will go learn how to do that.
 
 Any other ideas??  KX3 is set to Data A with VOX on, bandwidth at 4
 THANKS!!

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[WILLIS COOKE]

I would recommend the Amp first for two reasons.  One, you need the power.  10 
watts is enough to make a lot of contacts, but it will leave you disappointed a 
lot of times when you will want to make the contact. A lot has been said for 
QRP and if you want a challenge it will certainly give you one, but you will 
find that people will avoid rag chews because they can' get solid copy and you 
will miss many contacts because the other party can't copy you.  The second 
reason is that the amplifier is deeper into the K3 than the tuner and the 
assembly is easier with the amp first.  The tuner is located at the corner of a 
K3 and is easy to add later.  

But both are great additions, particularly if you are not using an external 
high power amp and if you can afford the expense I recommend both of them as 
soon as possible.

[Chuck Shefflette - AA3CS]

John,

There are no real issues with installing either the KPA3 or the KAT3. There is 
a shield that is included with the KPA3 kit (I don’t believe it comes with the 
base radio, but it has been 4 years since I built my kit) that might be easier 
to put in before the KAT3. Personally, I’d get them both first but if I could 
only get one, it would be the KAT3.

Mine works VERY well -- 500W out with about 28w drive, and it can run

120VAC or 240VAC, simple configuration at the mains socket on the back

There are plenty of programs that already do this, such as TRX Manager,
DXLabs, HRDalthough this particular one seems to handle the audio as
well so you would not need to mess with skype audio.  These all require a
computer to be running on both sides of the connection I think.  With
something like a Lantronics serial to ethernet device (two serial ports)
you can connect your radio on one end and use any of the loggers/control
programs remotely just as if you were in the shack.

OOOPS... I stepped into it again... My apologies, I said that software is on 
Don's page, and it is NOT... In fact, I am not sure now where it is 
available... Because I just went to use it.. and this one won't load now...I 
expect it was lost in last week's crash, I lost a season's logs too,lucky, I 
had the ruff data, and have restored most of that... still working on it tho. 
Just gotta love 'em... puters... that is. 
Sorry for the confusion, it's my hoof in mouth disease showing again.

Have a great day,

I use a nice software package named K24 Support... works/looks like the K2.. 
and it is easy to use...Found it on Don Wilhelm's web page.  It 's free. And I 
like the price, and functionality.

 There are plenty of programs that already do this, such as TRX Manager,
 DXLabs, HRDalthough this particular one seems to handle the audio as
 well so you would not need to mess with skype audio.  These all require a
 computer to be running on both sides of the connection I think.  With
 something like a Lantronics serial to ethernet device (two serial ports)
 you can connect your radio on one end and use any of the loggers/control
 programs remotely just as if you were in the shack.

If you purchase the SVGA option for the P3, it allows an external
monitor to be connectoed to the P3.  You might want to check to be
sure you don't already have the SVGA.  The P3's rear panel will show a
high density DB15 connector if the SVGA is installed.

It looks like something you can do for yourself, Tom.

 

Click on the:   Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft at
the bottom of any displayed post.

 

And right at the bottom there is: To unsubscribe from Elecraft, get a
password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your
subscription email address: 



If you leave the field blank, you will be prompted for your email address.

 

If you take the digest, you can remind yourself of the email address you
registered with by looking at the header or failing that, dig out the
monthly password reminder that mailman sends to you.

 

You will be presented with the option to unsubscribe and you WILL need your
password, hence the monthly reminder can be really handy.

 

It looks like unless you give your password and registered email address to
someone else, only you can unsubscribe.

 

HTH.  73 all, Dave G3TJP

Was 74, with bilateral tremors . . K3/100, #4497 loaded. Never had a fault
since built, hardware, firmware or download problems (except operator
dumbness). P3 and KPA500 at 75. Again no faults. This year I'll probably do
the KAT500 at 77. Being a ham for 52 years, and an Elec. Tech for 51 years
doesn't hurt. You can not beat Elecraft.

 Ron reminded me of some of the advertising seen in the 1950-60's.  And I
 understand that many have to persuade spouses to get to have a station
 somewhat closer than the barn!  Actually saw a well known eme ham's
 station installed in his barn.

 The only time I got away with having my ham station in the living room was
 when I was 22 and still a bachelor.  I had a very small cottage on one of
 the many lakes in Michigan which consisted of kitchen, bedroom, bath, and
 big living room.  I had a ham shack instead of a living room!

 Apartments are the worst situation to be in as a ham, in my opinion.  I
 have had a ham shack in a tent for three years before building a log cabin.
  I ran it on a diehard battery because I had no utilities (in the bush of
 Alaska).  I had a Ward's gas generator and battery charger.  But the 80m
 s-meter sat on the peg at zero noise without the influence of civilization
 - boy could I hear.

 But most of my ham shacks have been spare bedrooms (as is the current
 one).  That is fortunate as one can close the door when visitors arrive.
  My wife does not bother entering the shack and all cleaning is up to me!
  My wife has said if our ship ever came in and money was not an issue,
 she would build me a shack added onto the garage to get me out of the
 house.  Running from the workshop in the garage to the hamshack is
 inconvenient.  Tools are always at the wrong location.

 I envy the hams that have beautiful shacks...really impressive!  But it
 will likely never exist for my station...yep I'm a tinkerer (translation
 engineer and technician) at heart.  I like the designing and building and
 testing almost more than operating.  Operating is the final test for some
 project, then on to the next project.  The bedroom closet is filled with
 boxes of parts for at least a decade of future projects.  So my old metal
 National Radio speaker fits right in!  k3 drives it beautifully.

 My shack is about function vs style (exceptions are the Elecraft radios,
 of course).  I could use twice as much room, though.

 Us OTs who occasionally peruse the old QSTs know that in the 1960's Collins
 was really trying to produce equipment that the XYL would not object to
 having on a desktop in the living room. Hamshacks were moving from the
 basement, garage or outdoor shed into the living room.

 As home sizes have diminished steadily over the decades, and the size of
 the
 equipment has diminished, having a rig that was acceptable in the living
 room has become how many Hams have stayed on the air.

 Personally, my rigs are almost never fully assembled. When I'm on the air,
 it's usually with something that looks like someone exploded a dozen pieces
 of equipment on the bench top. Fortunately my XYL does not mind and now
 that
 solid state is common, I'm no longer reaching through a maze of wires
 containing hundreds or thousands of volts to throw a switch. (Yes, I was
 raised with the story of how Ross Hull was electrocuted in 1938, exactly 7
 months and 12 days after I was born probably instilling a level of care
 that
 has probably been responsible for me surviving, although I have been
 knocked
 on my...er...'backside'... a number of times in years long past.)

 I can fully understand the desire of some Hams to have a complete,
 integrated station that looks clean, neat and which works perfectly. Not
 all
 Hams are madcap tinkerers and home brewers, Hi!

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Fred Smith]

I use a simple Y cable in my key line and a toggle switch in a small
enclosure to key my 350w 2m amp in and out. Had everything needed in junk
box to construct, took less than 5 min to make up.

Yes, DIGOUT1 is enabled by band.  One can use it to enable switch which can
be controlled by KEYOUT.

  Can I use DIGOUT1 ( pin 11 ACC connector) to
 key an external 2 meter amp ( ground on
 transmit) connected to ANT 3.  When I PTT I want to key the 2 meter 
 amp without keying the
 160-10 amp connected to ANT1.  Thank you

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Fred Townsend]

David I have no opinion on Juma, the company or its products. I have no dog
in this hunt. I was speaking to what I consider to be the facts. Perhaps my
poor attempt at humor mislead you. I was speaking to the differences of
internal versus external amps and the use of feedback.

Back in amplifier school I was taught the way to make a 10 db amplifier was
to design a 100 db amp and use 90 db of feedback. That's because feedback is
a the miracle cure for many of the problems that plague amplifiers. And
before many of my colleagues chime in I know 100 db of high power RF gain is
impractical (I can do 60db with a klystron). 

Now my original point. The KX3 CAN NOT make any external amp better because
you can not enclose the KX3 in the feedback loop. Feedback can be used with
the exciter if the exciter and amp are in the same box (i.e. K3/100). That
doesn't make it impossible to design a good external amp, it just makes it
more difficult.

 

It has been suggested in other threads that the Ten-Tec amp is priced higher
than a KPA3 because of hardware packaging issues. This is true but it is
also true that feedback issues make it is harder to design external amps
than internal. Ten-Tec* or Juma* it's Apples to oranges when comparing
internal to external amps and their exciters.

Fred,

Thanks for your comment. I have to assume you have a less then staller
opinion of the Juma PA-100-D. Well with -28 db third order IMD this
specification matches the K3-100's IMD spec. and this is with 100 watts out.
All the reports I have gotton reported no problems with my signal, including
those using panadaptors. You mentioned the price, well find a linear that
had the same ability as the Juma PA100=D for less. It looks like it matches
the new TenTech linear for around $700.

 

I am only a consumer, I have no business interest in Juma but for a little
company started by 2 hams in Finland with a lot of design and engineering
experience, they look amazingly alot like another company we all know when
they first started out (Elecraft). Look at the schematics and read their
theory of operation before you judge the Juma products.

 

73

Dave KD1NA

 

 

David: Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes? (;

While it is highly desirable to use a clean exciter, The only way a clean
exciter can make a bad amp better is to enclose the amp in a feedback loop
originating in the PA and terminating in the exciter. This can be done in a
rig such as the K3/100 where both the amp and exciter are in the same box
but is near impossible where you are dealing with 2 separate boxes.
Simply: If the Juma is broke, the KX3 can't fix it.

No experience with the KX3 here yet, but this makes me wonder about the 
frequency 
stability on 6m with full throttle out on JT65A mode for 50 seconds out of 
every 
other minute, hour after hour.  I certainly would appreciate any tips on how to 
keep 
the frequency stable.   Hopefully I will be able to run some actual on the air 
tests 
over the next month and learn how people are seeing my signal stability with 
the 
KX3.   My K3 has always been rock solid.  VY 73, Lance

 Hi Wayne,
 Thanks for the response. I would be happy to go through trial and error to
 get this to work. Now I'm all set up to observe and measure the drift, so
 it wouldn't be hard.

 WSPR is pretty widely used (the WSPRNet database contains 98 million
 spots). Just about every one of those spots was generated using a
 transmitter running 5W or less. It seems like a natural for the KX3, and a
 marketing niche that it would fill nicely.

 I love my KX3 and can't wait to get this glitch ironed out. Thanks much for
 your assistance.

Lance, based on my experiments with JT65HF, you will not get good results
until the proposed firmware mod that allows you to tweak the temperature
compensation. JT65 uses a different scheme than WSPR, but it too has
stringent stability requirements. However, I am confident that Elecraft can
and will solve this. I am not a 6M ping jockey, but I know that JT65 is a
must for serious 6M operators, so I'm sure they'll find a way.

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

[Bob]

Just as a FYI, from Joe Large (JT65-HF author), concerning JT65-HF, which
is probably the predominant version used on the K3 and KX3

If AFC is turned on you can probably suffer as much as 50 to 100 Hz (or
more) drift in a frame.  Just a guess from experience.  There's not need
for very high frequency stability though.  Certainly anything less than 20
hz should be no issue.

73 - Joe  - W6CQZ


So JT65 is a lot more tolerant than WSPR and on 20 meters at least the
reported 14 HZ drift is no issue according to the author himself.

PS, Tony, I've sent you via private mail the results of some tests I just
ran with my KX3.

Hi Bruce,

Folks seem to interchange the terms cursor and markers. The cursor(s)
don't change when you rotate the P3 knob. The cursors indicate the current
frequency of VFO A and VFO B. The knob on the P3 only moves the A and B
markers which can be made visible or invisible with the 4th button on the
right. Moving a marker and pressing the knob will make the K3 VFO change.

[Arthur Burke]

I'm on the road, so I can't check with my P3, but

I *think* when you press CENTER, you can use the knob to move the cursor.
In fixed-track mode, the display remains fixed (duh!) as the cursor moves
in tune with the VFO. When it gets to the far edge, the CENTER function,
along with the P3 knob, can be used to ratchet the cursor back to another,
new, starting position.

Hi Bruce,

To move a marker you have to first turn it on by tapping the MKR A
button or holding the MKR B button.  Then the P3's knob will move the
marker around and when you tap the knob, the K3's VFO A (for MKR A) or
VFO B (for MKR B) will QSY to the frequency of the marker.

 I just discovered that my P3 QSY knob no longer appears to work with the
 K-3.  When I turn it the cursor does not move and the K-3 does not respond
 when I press the button.  I reloaded the latest firmware but nothing
 changed. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, please note there are no dashes, spaces, slashes, etc in an Elecraft 
model number. They make it difficult to make email sorting rules.

Its just the opposite.  You must use 'Reply All' to reply to the list.

'Reply' only goes to the original sender.
'Reply All'  goes to the list and the original sender.

[Ian Kahn]

Bill,

I use an Astron SS-30, and it works great.  I've used this power supply
since I got licensed five years ago, and this is the third HR rig it
powered without any issues, even though it is a switching power supply.

Hope this helps.

I thought it was the normal response to using many free e-mail services.
They pay their way by tacking ads onto all of the e-mails passing through.
