Re: [Elecraft] K2 FT8

I've used my K2 to work WSJT-X modes for a year now, using the external speaker audio out, and a cable connected to the mic for audio in. They connect to a $10 USB soundcard from Amazon.The rig is connected using the AUXBUS serial cable, to a USB adapter to the computer, which runs DXLabs

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

I don't think sun spot cycle is here yet. The observers haven't noted the tell-tale sign of the spots reversing polarization. The cycles don't run a calendar from what I have learned and because this cycle is one of lowest in recorded history, possible we won't see the change from now until

Re: [Elecraft] K3 output power failure.

W3LPL and other mentioned the PA temp and sagging power supply. I didn't think to check the PA temp until later (how much later, I don't know), If I remember correctly, it was 35C. In both cases, I was operating in a contest (ARRL 160 and ARRL RTTY RU) with the RF power set to 100w Sitting in

Re: [Elecraft] RSP-1A as panadapter

I don't use any RF protection. I carefully tested the signal levels on my RX loop + RSP1a on all bands and various power outputs from my transmitter. The separation/arrangement of my RX and TX antennas (not all that much) was sufficient to provide safe signal levels up to 100 watts output. My

Dear OMs and YLS,     Wht not just run 100mW to a Watt?    Surely then there is no heating problem.   I ask because I am starting the process of using WSPR on my K3.   73 Doug   EI2CNSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Original message From: Bill Frantz Date: 05/01/2020

I am in the process of building a station that will use a K4, once it is delivered. In the mean time, I'm trying to architect the control aspects of the station, with amplifier, antenna, and control signal routing. Nearly all of the public information on the K4 is marketing "brochure" info. One

Re: [Elecraft] K2 FT8

I used mine with a SignaLink for JT65 and JT9 several years ago. No issues. Shouldn't be any with FT8 either. Pulled audio from the K2 using W3FPR's schematic, and fed audio into the mic input. No issues that I remember. Remember you can't run full power in those modes unless you like replacing

I am aware of that  the owners of SDR-Kits has taken on the task of maintaining the site and continuing sales of certain products.  They hinted at a "short kit" for this part... IF I can get my hands on enough of a kit and docs to align the board properly, I am going to build one for myself

Re: [Elecraft] K3 output power failure.

Alternatively, you might (if you feel comfortable doing so) open the unit up and inspect it for any foreign debris that may have made its way into the case, thus challenging the airflow design/volume/velocity. The PA is in its own shielded enclosure, and thus relies heavily upon the fans to
