[Elecraft] DATA-A tx freq offset with digital modes

Hi, I’m very new to Elecraft and K3S so hope this is not too obvious…. I have a K3S connected to my PC with audio tones coming in via MIC IN (in reality the K3S is the remote end of a K3-Twin remote setup). When I use DATA-A sub mode for CW, the transmission is 600Hz higher than the VFO

Re: [Elecraft] Portable Ops with KX3 along with KXPA100

I operated from temporary locations (often in a wall tent) from remote Alaska on 80 & 40m SSB with a radio and ac PS powered by one of the 600w Honda "lunch box" generators. Never had any radio noise problems. We went out with long ext cords to get the engine noise away from the radio. I

Re: [Elecraft] Running stations with k3

Most of the "cans" I used in the 50's had a flat metal disk diaphragm that vibrated in the field of a pair of magnets behind it. They had a pronounced "peak" in their audio response in the 1 to 1.5 kHz (kc/s to be period-correct) range. I, too, often just laid them on the table while working

Re: [Elecraft] OT: K2

As a K2 only owner I appreciate when the posters reference the equipment they are posting about in the subject line (e.g. "K3"). This helps with auto sorting. Tom, wb2qdg K2 #1103 On 9/21/2016 1:29 PM, Thomas Taylor wrote: On Tue, 20 Sep 2016 18:35:27 + Eric J

Re: [Elecraft] Running stations with k3

OK, this is probably a good place to ask: When trying to copy a weak-ish signal in noise and "other stuff" in the 50's, one of my crewmates at the coastal marine station told me to lay the cans on the desk, face up. It works. I don't know why, maybe someone here knows. Surprisingly, I

Re: [Elecraft] Portable Ops with KX3 along with KXPA100

One thing to think about (and yes, Honda makes great stuff). There is a triple-fuel conversion for the Yamaha generators -- gasoline, propane or natural gas. Propane is easier to store, and won't gum up the carburetor like gasoline. I've not seen a propane conversion Honda generator, but I'd

Phil, If you go with the Honda give Mayberrys a call, http://www.mayberrys.com/. They give a discount to hams. I bought mine there several years ago and if I recall, the discount was pretty good. Mike - K3MAW On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 11:21 AM, Phil Hystad wrote: > > Thanks to

Re: [Elecraft] K3S and FSQcall

Found a work around. Set the FSQcall program to PTT. Enable Vox on the K3S and set vox gain to 25. I still get the "no com port available or in use" message but the rig will key up and send. If anyone still knows how to get the K3S to key with FSQcall through the cat line, I would like to know.

Re: [Elecraft] Running stations with k3

As a 99.99% CW op, I prefer a fairly wide bandwidth - 2 kHz or so - when copying, especially with a weak signal. I attribute that to the gray-matter filter between my ears that can better detect the CW signal in wider-band noise rather than in a noise spectrum limited to frequencies near those

The KXPA Utility should have the S/N on the title bar if it's connected to a KXPA100. That's the easiest answer of all, Dick. SN was right there in the title bar. Thanks to all. 73 ..mike AI6II -- View this message in context:

Thanks to all you guys with comments and recommendations regarding a generator. Everyone seemed to have great reports on the Honda EU2000i and that will likely be what I get. I see the going street price is $999.99. Some have suggested larger to handle other things like computer, coffee

Tony, That may not be a K-POD problem since the MEM 3 is being shown in the VFO B area. Try to see if you can duplicate the same behavior with your M1 button (with the K-POD connected). If you suspect an RF problem, try it into a dummy load and see if the behavior stops. If it does, some

[Elecraft] K-POD missing a beat

Hi All, I have had the K-Pod some time now and have been more than happy with it. I modded the K3 with the 6.8 ohm R so that I only need to use the rj45 cable supplied to connect the K3 and K-Pod together. I have, being lazy, programmed F3 to simulate M1 which works fine most of the time.
