Re: [Elecraft] K3 Diversity Question: RIT

2021-02-25 Thread Randy Farmer
I don't know which contest software package you may be using. If you're running N1MM+ Logger the solution to this dilemma is to equalize the A and B VFOs at the beginning of the run and then turn on Split mode. Then your transmitter will be locked to the VFO B frequency and the receiver can be

I’ve rediscovered Diversity RX on my K3, and have a question. Scenario: I’m working folks on 40M CW with a bit of QSB. Diversity is on, and things are working great. Suddenly I receive an off-frequency call, say up a couple hundred Hz. Normally no trouble, as I just use my trusty RIT control to

As I said, I have the WKUSB. I tied PTT1 and PTT2 from the WKUSB and fed that to the PTT on Pin 4. I used KEY1 for CW, KEY2 for FSK - that went to Pin1 and then Pin 5 for the grounds from KEY1, PTT1 and PTT2. IIRC, I set that scheme because FLDIGI expects KEY2 for RTTY. I also had to change th

I have a WKUSB 3.1 that I connected to the FSK and PTT via the accessory connection. Worked great. Took a few tweaks for the software products. I didn't think 3.0 was capable of RTTY. Joe, KO8V > On Feb 25, 2021, at 17:53, Leroy Buller wrote: > > Has anyone connected a Winkey 3.0 using RT

I have 3 of them stacked on a shelf above my K3. From the K3 to the first transverter the cables are around 50cm or so... I think I used RG-8x. The IF cables daisy chained from one XV to the next are about 15cm in length and are RG-174. I originally used RG-8X there too, but they had to be much lo

The KXPA ATU is able to get a 1:3 SWR when it tunes, but when I attempt to run CW at 50 watts the SWR is off the scale (high). I have to reduce output power to 10 watts to bring the SWR down t
