Re: [Elecraft] XVTR Out level

2019-07-08 Thread Gary Johnson
Sure enough, the BPFs are in the low-level RF path on TX and RX. Moral of the story is to choose a transverter with a 28 MHz IF when maximum usable frequency range is desired. Gary NA6O __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] Help on wiring up a XV144 to a KX3 (or KX2)

2019-07-08 Thread Paul Gacek via Elecraft
I would like to connect these two and am following the guidance in Fred Cady’s KX Line manual page 239 and details in the XV Owners Manual. Wiring/connectivity is; - KX3/KX2 RF out (28 MHz via BNC) connected to XV144 Tx In/IF1 port (single port for RX/TX). - KX3 ACC2 connected to XV144 CONTROL

Guess I’ll have to study the K3 block diagrams. For some reason I thought Xvrt Out didn’t go thru the BPFs. -Gary NA6O On Jul 8, 2019, at 5:14 PM, w4sc wrote: > > At 15MHz you are starting to be out of the 20M passband filter, at 16MHz you > are well out of the 20M pass band,,, the passband

[Elecraft] XVTR Out level

2019-07-08 Thread w4sc
At 15MHz you are starting to be out of the 20M passband filter, at 16MHz you are well out of the 20M pass band,,, the passband on 10M is around 2 or 3MHz wide and thus would provide the proper drive level for 144 (28MHz), 145 (29MHz), and 146 (30MHz) MHz operation. From the K3 users manual,

2019-07-08 Thread Gary Johnson
I'm testing the K3 XVTR output level for use with a Kuhne 144 transverter (opt. 05) which uses a 14 MHz IF. XV1 PWR is set to 1.5 mW as required. Checking with my spectrum analyzer, key-down CW output power at the XVTR Out jack varies as follows: VFO=144 MHz (14.0 MHz out)  +1.3 dBm 145

When I decided to sell my Elecraft K2 #7750, it was after weeks of deliberation. Since I am relocating to a senior’s apartment complex and will not be allowed a traditional ham station set up, a choice had to be made: it was either keep my K2 #7750 or my KX2 #1098. I must confess it was a

Lloyd, Pull the key plug out, then see if it stops. If so, check the key and the plug. The plug must be stereo and have the key connected only to the tip and the shell (no connection to the ring). 73, Don W3FPR On 7/8/2019 11:27 AM, LL wrote: I just set my new-to-me K1 up in the field. I

yes . Ray, K2ULR, set me right. What I needed, for using my little Whiterook cootie, turned out to be a connector that was mono on one end, and stereo on the other, which I had, in my go-bag. On Mon, Jul 8, 2019, 12:44 PM Mike Morrow wrote: > > > I just set my new-to-me K1 up in the field. I

I just set my new-to-me K1 up in the field. I can switch bands, but keying the rig with my straight key results in a steady key-down that only stops when I power cycle the rig. The menu is not available. Any ideas? Everything worked perfectly at home, of course. supply voltage is 13.2
