[Elecraft] Re: K3 AGC Adjustment Parameters

2007-10-11 Thread adamkern
Wayne, I read your reply to this thread with great consideration. I think your observation that most field testers did not adjust the AGC parameters is a good one. However, I think that that K3--and the Elecraft product line in general--particularly appeals to people who value amateur

Listhost archives seem to be down at the moment, so apologies if the following question has already been asked: Can Wayne, Eric or anyone else comment more on the KAT3 design? Specifically, how is the matching network configured, is it balanced or unbalanced and is there any balun built-in?

[Elecraft] K3 subreceiver question

2007-07-03 Thread adamkern
With the K3 subreceiver installed and while using binaural audio output from both receivers, is there a provision so that a switch toggles between memory VFO A/B within one receiver, and not between (physical) main- and sub-receivers? Example: If working a split DX pileup, can you set one

1) Can the sub-RX receive off the same antenna as the main RX at the same time? 2) Can the main-RX and sub-RX be used in any combination of antenna inputs, including ANT1, ANT2 and RX ANT IN? 3) Can the sub-RX provide unbroken audio using any antenna input while the K3 is transmitting? 4) Can

[Elecraft] K2 Frequency stability

2006-12-25 Thread adamkern
Hello again and happy holidays! With regard to the K2 frequency stability... Several good points were raised and I realized that I wasn't adequately specific before. The drift I notice is primarily related to warmup and not during normal operation. I will perform the aforementioned test to

Hello all, I notice that on K2 #03547 rev B (with KPA100, KDSP2, KSB2, K160RX and thermistor installed at time of build) the master frequency drifts as a function of temperature. From an ambient temp of 65F to max rig temp when the KPA100 fan kicks in the receiver may drift by 800 Hz. The

Hi again, As a few people pointed out, I misspoke in my earlier email. When I calibrate C22 I immediately run CAL PLL and CAL FIL. True, the K2 does not directly reference C22 during normal operation. My calibration of C22 and then CAL PLL and CAL FIL is all by-the-book. That being said, I

Hello all, I have a question for the gurus regarding fixing my K2. Back in 2003 I built a K2 with KPA100, KDSP2, SSB, 160 mod and external ATU and used it to operate mobile in South America for a period of time. I then returned to the U.S. to begin med school and have been off the air since.
