[Elecraft] P3 and the Nose Blanker an observation

I noticed something on the P3 and maybe it's a known thing. I turned on my Flex-1500 that had been sitting idle for nearly a year and noticedthat the display looked far sharper than the P3's display (Signals more distinct). Then I discovered what I was seeing... I had the noise blanker on the P3

Re: [Elecraft] P3 and the Nose Blanker an observation

Also it is important to set the noise blanker level to the minimum that eliminates the noise. Alan N1AL On 01/08/2015 04:00 PM, Harry Yingst via Elecraft wrote: I noticed something on the P3 and maybe it's a known thing. I turned on my Flex-1500 that had been sitting idle for nearly a year

[Elecraft] [K3] WSJT-X settings for K3

I have tried the last two versions of WSJT-X and there seems to be some problem with the rig control for the K3. I get error messages, something about the program not being able to read the mode of the radio's second VFO. As is often the case, a pretty cryptic error message is what's offered,

[Elecraft] New KAT500/KPA500 owner needs help (K3/P3/KAT500/KPA500/Microkeyer II)

I just finished building my KAT500 and KPA500.  I am trying to integrate them into my existing setup consisting of a K3, P3, and Microham Microkeyer II.   This setup was working fine before I cabled up the new equipment, and now I am having some issues. All hardware has been updated to the

[Elecraft] beta release for K3 - PSK63

Folks, HNY to all I believe that there is a potential firmware upgrade that is imminent that will enable the K3 to be able to generate and receive PSK63 (as well as PSK31). If I have understood correctly, I would be grateful for an idea of likely timescales ? Many thanks 73 Graham G4FNL

Re: [Elecraft] beta release for K3 - PSK63

Hi Graham, This was added last October. Here are the relevant release notes: MCU 4.93 / DSP 2.83, 10-16-2014 * PSK63 MODE ADDED: To select PSK31 or PSK63, first tap either end of the MODE switch to select DATA, then hold the DATA MD switch and use VFO A to select the PSK data rate. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 + iMic Sound Card = Wild Scan

Use a 4 pole jack plug too helps. Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleve. They are relatively easy to obtain. You may also (probably will) need a resistive atenuator, and maybe a DC blocking cap between the iMic's line out, and the KX3's Mic input. Or setting levels gets tricky! For receive, there are

Fred, Thanks for the fascinating description of your monochromacy. I have never come across anyone with this, though did know the condition existed. As a photographer I am conscious of colours and had an amusing incident when I had a faulty iPad display where the colours were posterised in

[Elecraft] vexing K3 transverter problem solved

Lew, Excellent observation (and troubleshooting). Too often a problem can be due to something very simple but unnoticed. If you build kits (the kind you solder components to a pc board) you may have noticed many holes place in strategic areas of the board that have no components installed

Re: [Elecraft] K3, Elecraft Transverter K144XV-K

My observations on most RF power amplifiers is that gain is higher at lower drive levels so proportionally there is more output. e.g. full drive =10w, half drive = 7w, quarter drive = 5w. You are describing classic compression in the amplifier [chain]. Where you have cascaded amplifiers,

Just finished a nice QSO on 40 meters and the right channel click using NEW QSK seems to be completely gone (or so low my old ears can't detect it). I set the 60 meter channels up in memories using the K3/KX3 memory editor and tried running through the modes and used TUNE and ATU-TUNE into a

[Elecraft] Hearing Loss

I've struggled with 35% hearing loss over the past 9 years. I finally spent the money and bought hearing aids 3 years ago - what a difference for normal every day life. However, they didn't help me much with ham radio but I suffered through by putting the small Heil headset ear piece on top

[Elecraft] KPA500 does not use EBS, and doesn't have any associated bias noise

A side note to this topic for RF amplifiers, in general: I have not heard of this paper crunch noise description, before this, but it's well known with VHF and up operation that one does want to remove bias during receive on many amplifiers due to white noise being generated. Perhaps this is

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 does not use EBS, and doesn't have any associated bias noise

I'll add to this in that I just tested my KPA500 to see what the noise floor did with it on or off. On an antenna, I noticed absolutely no change in noise floor on any band 160-6, but just to kill the atmospheric noise, I connected a dummy load to the output of the KPA500. Again, absolutely

Re: [Elecraft] K3, Elecraft Transverter K144XV-K

David and Lexa, My observations on most RF power amplifiers is that gain is higher at lower drive levels so proportionally there is more output. e.g. full drive =10w, half drive = 7w, quarter drive = 5w. So one finds that an amplifier hits a minimum output with lowered drive that is not
