Re: [Elecraft] XV50 no output

I remember buying some cheap BNC patch leads at a rally which worked fine. After a swap around my RX went deaf and I couldn't work out what was wrong. After a lot of diagnosis I started to inject a large signal and worked all the way back to the BNC antenna input socket, where I found that the chea

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] increasing CW copy speed: practice slow -v- practice fast

Over 40 years ago I wrote a GWBASIC program that sent random 5 letter groups of letters and/or numbers. Like the Farnsworth system (although we had never heard of it before) it asked for a starting and a target speed and adjusted the spacing between letters so that the characters were sent at the t

Re: [Elecraft] If it plugs in, then it should work

You will never win! Many years ago we designed a military unit that had many I/O ports, so we chose a selection of MIL STD connectors with different shell sizes, numbers of pins, plugs/ sockets, orientations etc. to make it soldier proof. What we didn't realise until later was that if you used

Re: [Elecraft] TX Power

FL2 is 2.7kHz and FL4 is 400Hz on both receivers. The CONFIG is set to transmit CW using the 2.7kHz filter, but the power output seems to vary on the main RX when I narrow the receive bandwidth down to 400Hz where FL4 kicks in. I first discovered this yesterday when trying to set up SSB. After fo

Re: [Elecraft] PTT KEY CONFIG setting volatile?

I have this on my K3S with the latest firmware. I use WSJT to key the K3S via the USB port and I operate in USB mode, not Data. Every time I power the K3S OFF I need to reset the PTT Key config to DTR – OFF. Danny, G3XVR From: Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO Sent: 23 May 2016 04:29 To: elecraft@mai

Re: [Elecraft] PTT KEY CONFIG setting volatile?

WSJT not running – K3S not connected to PC. I still need to reset PTT-KEY after a power cycle – it always goes back to OFF-OFF. The same thing happens in USB or DATA modes. Danny, G3XVR From: Don Wilhelm Sent: 23 May 2016 06:26 To: danny.higgins; Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO; elecraft@mailman.qt

Re: [Elecraft] PTT KEY CONFIG setting volatile?

Yes, I reported that one just after I got S/N 10105. It worked at home using the USB interface, but when I went to IOTA last year it powered up in TX mode when the USB lead was not connected. It took a few phone calls to sort it out, but once we knew what the problem was it was easy to get roun

Yes, running in UNSAFE mode remembers the PTT-KEY setting. Danny, G3XVR From: Gene Gabry Sent: 23 May 2016 13:30 To: 'danny.higgins'; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: RE: [Elecraft] PTT KEY CONFIG setting volatile? Check the updates to latest firmware version. There is a safe mode and Unsafe

Re: [Elecraft] Tracking Upgrades with the K3 Utility?

It’s also a good way to check the mod status of a second hand rig before you buy it, if you know the serial number. Regards, Danny Higgins, G3XVR From: K5WA __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo
