I had several 7 year old Kidde wired smoke/CO detectors on two levels. I only
run 100 watts, but occasionally triggered alarms on 160 meters where my
vertical is
only 30 feet from the house. I replaced all detectors with First Alert units
which come with a 10 year back up battery. Never any
Hi,
Got the attachments in the other email, thank you... I will be sending
a piece of traffic...
Interestingly enough, ardop works, and VARA does not, even though both
are set up the same...
In any case, thank you for the help!

Yes, what you said was " Kenwood, Yaesu and Ten-Tec transceivers do not
provide bias for an electret mic *at all*. To use an electret mic with
those transceivers one needs to install a "power adder"". Actually they do
provide bias to their own line of electret mics, so you could have been a

Read *ALL* of what I wrote. I indicated that the power is on pin 2
(Kenwood) or 5 (Yaesu/Ten-Tec) but one had to add a 5K6 Ohm resistor
Hello Lyn and Thanks.
I have a very similar arrangement with the KPA/KAT500 and three wired Kidde
smoke/ CO detectors.
I've had problems with it periodically over the years in spite of various
attempts to resolve triggering the smoke detectors using various ferrite
cores and bypass capacitors

I have a fairly new Kidde wired system (battery / AC) with a total of 10
sensors on 3 levels.
No RF issues with KPA/KAT500 at full power on any band 160-6m, any mode.

The rig settings on VARA and ARDOP are in two different places. For VARA,
you need to open the TNC window.
I am sending you info on the ARC exercises directly (there is no link).
Feel free to send to whomever you wish.

Hello,
I read the thread from several weeks ago discussing the Kidde wireless
interconnected smoke detectors and the concern that they would be triggered
by RF from ham radio.
Has anyone who is running any power tried them?
A local ham running 100 watts hasn't had problems.
I have a Kidde
The official product page is also wrong, either through ignorance or
spell-check. It describes it as "a sensitive electric microphone”.

Hello,
Due to the sweepstakes contest there will be no CW nets today.
Gives me time to do some serious fall cleaning. I hope the solar flux
remains high. It is over 90 right now after years stuck at 70. There
is also a large sunspot group. The new solar cycle has arrived.
See you
As I noted in my report, which deliberately reached no
conclusions, just the facts ma'am, the microphone stopped
working when I removed the "bias" on the K3. So it needs that
power. Well, electret microphones certainly need power to run
their internal amplifiers. Some other microphones (e.g.
Hi again,
Thank you! I set Ardop, and all is working again... I will move to
VARA later on, as it shows the no PTT issue, but ARDOP does not... I
now have my way to send an Internet message should I need to in an

Since I mostly use my KX3 at home with the PX3 and KXPA100, I have the

There's another issue ... Winmor has been discontinued as of July 1.
If you try to send a Winmor message thru an RMS station, it will not happen.
P2P Winmor still works, but for messages designed to go thru the CMS on HF,

Hi Lyn,
First off, THANK YOU for the help!! I must have been unclear in my
first post...
I was using Winlink Winmore, and it does drive the radio to different
frequencies, the radio control is partially working... It also used to
work 100%...
I am presented with a COM port, not a USB

Windows 10 attempts to lock down USB port assignments as a security measure,
and does so again with each update. Some apps are smart enough to deal with
this, but Winlink is basically a 1990s era Email application and is
susceptible to issues like this.
There are numerous articles on how
