Re: [Elecraft] K3 Has anyone compiled a macro for 630 Meter operation

I'll most likely use a transverter.   Base band will be 160M. Likely will design and build my own. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 12/6/2017 4:50 PM, John Seboldt K0JD wrote: Considering that all I hear down there is broadcast station birdies, I'm guessing you're right. :-( On 12/6/2017 16:47, Walter

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and WSJT-X Split operation.

Frank and all, The K3 Line In needs a signal of up to 1 volt P-P. The microphone input (either front or rear) need only 1/4 (or so) of that amplitude. Can I suggest that you do not have enough audio from your soundcard to use Line In? Most soundcards can produce enough audio, but it may

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Has anyone compiled a macro for 630 Meter operation

What about the KX3? Any hope it can at least generate RF on 630, and we can clean it up with an external lowpass filter or something? On 12/4/2017 19:27, Merv Schweigert via Elecraft wrote: Yes there is one around,  I think Wayne sent one out some time back, Better question is,  how about

Re: [Elecraft] 160 meter contest also going on -- LOTS of activity

On a whim, I did about 2 hours of the contest with my KX3 at 5w and the 43ft vertical with 60' sloping top wire. I've worked a few on cw and FT8 on 160, but I did surprisingly well with 39 contacts, and got two WAS states (IL and VT) to boot! At least I was heard by SOMEBODY! John K0JD On

Re: [Elecraft] K3 suffers from amnesia

Udo, Do you have MCU firmware 5.33 or later loaded? Did you set the PTT-KEY menu to use "UNSAFE" mode (or activate PTT-KEY by other means). See the Firmware Release Notes for MCU version 5.33 dated 8-03-2015 for the full explanation. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/6/2017 12:52 PM, Udo Langenohl -

Ummm ... QRZ.com downloads the FCC ULS at least daily,  If you have a US FCC-granted license, you will be there exactly as your license reads.  Email and bio are up to you.  We moved a couple of years ago and I updated my address in the ULS.  It appeared on QRZ.com that night. For non-US

Re: [Elecraft] K3 suffers from amnesia

Gentleman, it doesn't work unfortunately. PTT is always "OFF - OFF" when both K3 are shutdown. No matter if the computer is running prior to the K3 or vice versa. I asked another ham friend nearby with two upgraded K3's, the same issue. Could anybody else please try this? 73 Udo, DK5YA

Re: [Elecraft] Yet another scam

A more reliable check is the official FCC registry for a license. Although it does not show an email address, it does show the correct address. Find them at: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp Or - just go to FCC.com and search it out. Jim - W4RKS . . . >Charles, >I

Re: [Elecraft] Yet another scam

Charles, I have one problem with a statement here. QRZ.com is NOT an official callbook. Only those that sign up or others who have signed up for someone else are listed. Also, emails change and may not be updated. Basing someone's credibility on QRZ.com is not a good thing. 73, Tim, KQ8M

I will say it here as we are all friends. When buying a radio, I ask for the radio to be tuned to a specific frequency That in itself eliminates some of the problems. de KG9H Frank > On Dec 6, 2017, at 8:41 AM, rich hurd WC3T wrote: > > And never, ever, ever. Neverever - use

Re: [Elecraft] Yet another scam

Very first thing to do is look up the call on QRZ.COM. IF there is no email address listed, consider that a yuge RED FLAG, since the perps look for people who do NOT list their email on QRZ. Then they apply for a new email with Joe.Blow.W1XXX@ freebie email .com, such as Hotmail, Gmail etc.

[Elecraft] Yet another scam

As some of you may know, I am looking for a K2. I have received an email from a w9per@gmail.com and he sent me a nice grouping of pictures, seemed legit. But after some “blowing up on the pictures” of the paperwork, I noticed he stated the SN is 5526 (in the email text), but the pictures
