Re: [Elecraft] Strange behavior when tuning around with SUB receiver LINKED

2009-02-22 Thread Peter Connors, F5VNB
My K3 does this sort of unexpected leap to next band up/down at tuning breaks with linked or unlinked main/sub. I assumed this was because I had the general coverage filter in the main but not the sub. Firmware 2.82. No 'zipper' noise here except that little bit at the bottom end of 6m. 73

That's the right site. Try 'Support', 'X-keys Support' and then 'X-keys Macroworks II (for PC)' for lots of information. The Mac link probably does the same, in pastel colours ;-) These look to be useful units but it seems to me that all they do is generate macros that can be programmed into

Joe Thank you for pointing out the difficulties in setting average power across a range of modulation types. Whatever the peak/average ratio of the modulation, the output power from the PA is peak limited - so wouldn't the answer be a K3 power meter and power control that shows/sets peak

Down the years I have found that flashing a new BIOS on computer motherboards can also occasionally generate a surprise change or two. Why this should be I have never discovered but, eg, having your boot media priority changed can cause a distraught hour or two for the unwary. 73, Pete

Brian Try a current choke 'balun' instead of the BL2. As a temporary antenna I have 25m of twin speaker wire run out from the shack under the roof tiles - that's about 7m - and then the remaining 18m split as a doublet. It hangs at an average height of 5m from a couple of trees. The 'feeder'

Don I agree that the BL2 is a true current balun using a balanced design that chokes common mode currents while also transforming impedances to ease a conjugate match - albeit one of the ratios is 1:1 - but my coax-through-ferrite-beads unbalanced common mode choke *only* does what it says
