Good Evening,
Dvorak is playing as the sun sets on a very fine day. Got to near 90 so we
have had a little bit of summer again. Earlier in the week I had to keep the
fire going to stay warm because outside temperatures were near 50 degrees.
What a difference a couple days make! Conditions

Good evening (or morning or day)
Shuffling through my gear and reorganizing to be simpler when I go
solar powered. Have a KRC2 which I purchased, but now use a home brew

Hi gang,
The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet Sunday, 9/13/09 at 1800Z on 14.316
MHz. Hopefully, we will have good propagation. See you there.

Robert,
If I recall correctly, that is the message HRD gives when it thinks some
other application is using the serial port.
Try re-booting and run HRD before anything else. If it still does not
work, you may have something in your system startup that is making the
serial port active before H

Hi William,
K3 #24 has been running on solar power since I bought it.
Our house electrical is set up a bit like yours, though we have a 48V
system and FLA storage that covers the house if grid power disappears.
The grid tied inverter is an older Xantrex SW4048.
I added 2x 50W Siemens SR50 panels
Paul,
I suppose I should have added "necessarily more accurate."
What I'm getting at is that the K3 received frequency varies as the DSP
bandwidth is adjusted. So for example, if one was going to read the frequency
of a beat note on a sound card, without other tuning, the beat note will change

There are many strange behaviors in LO CUT/HI CUT mode that have been

Hi Bill,
The K1/2/3 rigs do very well on solar power. We ran the K3 (at 90W) on solar
for awhile last Field Day.
You are correct in assuming three components for solar: the PV

(constant voltage source) and an interface bet
Hi Al,
No.
It is also wise to re check REF CAL after maybe a year of burn in.
I re did mine after about 1-1/2 years and I had to retune approx
50Hz lower. Only to be expected.

Let's say you have selected a 2.8 kHz filter. Use the LO CUT control to move
the low cut freq to 0.00.
Now turn that same control clockwise and notice that it goes to 0.20, 0.30,
0.40.
Now move the control back down. Notice that it goes to 0.30, 0.20, 0.10, and
then finally, 0.00.

REF CAL. There is supposed to be a "Method 3" to enter the frequency vs.
temperature data shipped with the KTCXO3-1 TCXO. I guess this hasn't been
implemented yet?
