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,

I see that the worldwide 5MHz (60 meters) allocation chart is now
available. It is interesting to see that several countries have full
use of the band from 5250 to 5450 kHz.

Dear Fellows,
I just finished construction of my K1. The receiver stage worked perfectly
until I finished the transmitter stage. I still get audio hiss and volume
but no signal on any band, AGC on or off, attenuator on or off.
All the voltages and resistances check out except the anode of D9,
Les,
You did not mention your test gear nor any information about your setup,
so I have to make some guesses and ask some groundwork questions.
Are you injecting RF from a signal generator to the BNC jack? If so, is
that signal large enough to register on what you are using to determine

according to the manual, is supposed to be 100k. I'm sure this is an
error, however, since the DC path to ground from that point goes through
three resistors and a choke totalling only about a couple K, which is what
Thanks again, Don.
I've been using Elecraft's signal injector; you may know it puts out 50
micro volts on the high setting.
I'll try your suggestions but I think I did part of them already.
BTW, I'm using my Android phone so it's tough to write a lot of detail.

Hi,
Yes, Tom had scans of all the legacy gear boards, both top and bottom.
They were on the preserved website at http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/,
but right now, it looks like the link refers back to the master page. I
will try to contact their webmaster to see if that can be fixed.
In the
Les,
50 uV is not a large enough signal to see on a 'scope or RF probe. You
really need 1.4 volts (or whatever is specified in the procedure) of RF
input.
I suggest you build the simple oscillator shown in the Signal Tracing
appendix of the manual. It has good output for that purpose. The
Of the equipment listed for sale below, only the K3 remains available.
I should have mentioned that, in addition to being updated to factory
specs a little over a year ago by Elecraft, this K3 has seen very little
usage and has lived in a non-smoking environment.
Please contact me off-list
You must have seen this Dilbert cartoon Fred!

I love my KX1, but powering it with 6 AA Lithium cells puts out just 1.5-2.0
watts. I’d like a little more umph, since most of the time I use the KX1 in the
field, so I also have a less than optimal antenna.
I’d like to power it with 12V, but prefer not to use an external battery. Just

Helpful once again. I also use a Heatkit signal gen., I didn't mention.
It punches up well on my scope. I'll try it again.
The scans are what's already on the board, however. These have been useful
but limited. Maybe there is something out on the Net that identifies the
solder points/pads too.
Thanks Wayne for the new PX3 FAQ's when might we see the PX3 in our shacks I
would say the middle of August has passed by.

All of the knobs on the K3 and KX3 are under warranty for the life of
the radio

I have one on the way. Fantastic service! In nearly 4 yr.s with my K3 I
had one tech. problem with it. When I called Elecraft the tech I talked
to only did K3s answered every
Linux handles serial devices different from windows.
Your usb-serial adaptor probably will be recognised 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
GPS stabilized 10 MHz crystal oscillators are really an overkill, to
be references for todays transceivers.
A good DOCXO, double ovenized crystal oscillator, is more than
adequate, some even claiming accuracies of 10 parts to the -11th

You mean this link for N0SS signal tracing on the K1?

I put a couple Zippy brand LiFePO4 packs in series in a replacement case
back for this purpose. I'm no big fan of Zippy brand, based on my past
experience, but these were OK and work fine for me, though only 700 mAh
capacity. Already had a balance charger for them.

My little 750 maH Li-poly would fit inside my KX1 if I remove the AA
battery holders. I say would because I haven't done it and won't ever
put an Li-Poly-anything *inside* a radio. I had one that I got at the
local RC Model shop catch fire while I was in the Spartan Sprint,
discharging it.
OK, I am not sure if I can describe this simply but I will try but first let me
describe
the symptoms of the result.
I am waiting for a CW Traffic net to get started on 80 meters tonight. Just to
make sure everything is hunky dory I give my paddle a two-dit hit so as to make
sure SWR is OK
