Hi Tim, I have been setting up my new shack at our remote property. We recently had a fixed wireless internet connection installed at the house but it was too far for the wifi signal to reach the shack (~200ft). I purchased a TP-Link 2-Port Gigabit AV2000 Passthrough Powerline Starter Kit. So far

Thanks for the replies. No, CW is not in REV, and radio is not under computer control [though it is hooked to the computer for N1MM and LPan]. But, the strangeness occurs regardless of side tone pitch, band, filter width, filter center, and whatever. I can just ignore the selected pitch so long

[Elecraft] Morse-audio control feedback on KX2 and KX3

2019-10-21 Thread Wayne Burdick
At Pacificon I discovered that some long-time KX2 and KX3 users were not aware of the Morse-audio feedback feature. This was provided for blind operators, but it's also useful for mobile, as well as too-tired-to-look-at-the-panel mode (e.g., halfway through Field Day). To turn on Morse control

[Elecraft] KX3's binaural pitch-mapping feature

The KX3, like the K3/K3S and KX2, has full stereo audio. But it has one special audio effects mode the others don't: binaural-audio pitch mapping. When pitch-mapping is in effect, stations lower in frequency are mapped lower in audio pitch, and higher-frequency signals are mapped higher in pitc

When using SPOT to have the radio tune to a received signal, the following is the result: the radio tunes to the received signal correctly as indicated by the CWT graph, but this frequency is some 50-100cps below the selected side tone frequency. In other words, after auto tuning, if PITCH is s

Dave; You do not need the AUX IO cable. You do need to connect the PTT lines from the transceiver to the cat, then from the KAT to the KPA. Both KPA and KAT will work quite well with RF sensing for frequency. If you wish to add frequency control from the transceiver, you can connect both KPA a

I used them briefly a few years ago for similar reasons, mainly old solid walls. As Rick said they were slow! The other big thing I found (bear in mind it was few years ago) was the fact that they only worked satisfactorily if on the same circuit. i.e. if the signal went through the consumer unit
