For those still waiting for, or building, their KXPA100, the effort
is definitely worth it.
I just returned from a vacation trip to St. Barths Island for 10
days, operating 'vacation styl'-intermittently, and took my KX3 and
KXPA100 with a small switch-mode supply from Powerwerx, operating
from a rented villa. Ran up about 2200 QSO operating late at night,
mostly, using a 33' telescopic pole supporting a variety of monoband
PAR/LNR EFZ antennas as FJ/N9SW. Output stayed right up at 100 Watts
all bands without a waver.
The amp worked great, never got too hot, and its integration with the
KX3 was smooth and efficient. Had everything but the pole packed in a
modest soft, padded test instrument case, which I successfully
checked through 3 different flights, no issues. Reasonable weight,
high performance. Perfect!
By the way, the LNR/PAR EFZ antennas were also super....1.2:1 or
better SWR on each of the bands I had with (40, 30, 20, 17 and 6),
right 'out of the box', Since the 40m model is 66' long, I ran the
wire through a round uncrimped crimp terminal that just fit over the
top of the pole, at about the 50% length point, and draped the
antenna like an inverted vee to the deck of the villa. This put the
feed point right at a comfortable level, and made no difference in SWR.
Nice work, Elecraft!

then the section on RTTY operation without a computer. And the pages

I still have some questions how best to set it up to work split and
how to best set it up for contest / Dxpedition work. If you have this

And one that you need to make with a soldering iron.

2KHz is getting a bit above my hearing range.
I wonder if there is a way to do low tone FSK-D @1275 Hz mark.
Not interested in AFSK.
I suppose the center frequency of the filter would have to be reset as
well as the dual tone filter.

Hi Brian,
Sure -- All you have to do is be in FSK-D mode, press & hold the SPOT
(pitch) button. Use the main tuning knob to set the mark tone you want and
exit out of it. Works just fine and all the standard tones are available in
the menu.
Jim - W0EB
I just checked it to make sure it works.

This is not an endorsement and I am not getting paid to promote this. I am
just sharing.
Here is a interesting web site in development that will take your ADIF or
LoTW logs and create a world map with pins.
You can filter by band/mode, etc.
http://qsomap.org
There are couple of little bugs I have stumbled upon, but the
developer N9MS has a pretty clean interface and I am sure it will get
better over time.
The account is free and you can pay $20 to have a poster size high
quality print made of your qso map.
I thought it could be interesting to filter and make a map for my QRP DXCC
contacts, etc.

I've already made a suggestion on this topic, but here it is again:
But let me reply in general that a 6m-23cm (50-1296 MHz) all-mode
radio would be desirable in
100w output on the two lower bands and 50w on the rest. NO need for
lead weights once the heat sink is installed. It will be lots bigger
than the K3 by necessity.
Important operating specs to meet: High dynamic range input, low
phase noise, extremely good freq. stability (<10-Hz drift), built-in
sequencer for control of external preamps and amps, RS232 and
soundcard I/F like the K3 plus digital IQ interface for running
computer-based sw (this would be a SDR, right?).
my suggestion:
Buy a K3/10 - has almost all the above requirements by adding options
(exception no direct digital IQ access).
Design a line of transverters with 50-MHz IF to work like the KX3
will with its 2M module. 10-20w is fine (smaller/lighter).
Design a multi-module enclosure to take up to four of these
transverters, and include a sequencer inside it to handle control
with up to four bands of accessories; transverter modules would use a
edge connector plus coax output...plug -in like computer cards.
The transverter enclosure could be of size to match the
K3. Portability is almost as easy as a single box radio.
If you want more power buy external linear amps.
Note: the 50-54 MHz IF will result in full band coverage of 144 and
222 bands; 432-436, 436-440, 1292-1296, 1296-1300. LO's all would be
programmable synth PLL with opt. ext reference input on 10-MHz (this
is already available from other venders; I am currently using them in
two of my transverters).
OK that is my vision.
I basically already have this in my station by use of external
transverters with the K3/10.

Thanks to Jim, W0EB.
It's already in there.
Just change the pitch while in the FSK-D mode.
In N1MM, if you're using a DXP38 modem, it is simple to change the mark
setting to match.
Works! Now the audio signals are not attenuated by many dB.

oops, sorry
Just responding to the elecraft digest today where there were several
posts on this topic. Now I can't find that digest? I thought it
strange that someone started up the topic, again. Chalk it up to a
computer burp that an old digest was added as a new one, today.

Bill,
One thing you might want to check is your menu setting for VFO CRS (VFO
Coarse Tuning). You could set that to 500 Hz for SSB - it is a per band
setting.
That may not help with your request about the SPOT button, but it may be
a good substitute.

Subject: [Elecraft] New K3 Beta Firmware Release, Rev. 4.81 (misc.
improvements)
Message-ID: <3C583AF1-E625-4805-84E1-6333AB1589F9 at elecraft.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
K3 firmware rev. 4.81 (with DSP rev 2.82) is now available as a beta
release. Highlights of this release:
* RIT can now be turned on/off during transmit: (Note: If RIT is turned on
or off during transmission of a CW character, the length of one code
element may be affected. This will be corrected in a future release.)
* 10 and 18 MHz are now available as transverter I.F. bands. 10 MHz is
particularly useful as an I.F. for VLF and LF transverters, e.g. for the
600-MHz band (~475 kHz). This is because 10 MHz OCO's (oven-controlled
oscillators) are relatively inexpensive, and can serve as the local oscillator for a
home-built transverter.
* That pesky RTTY 45/75 baud bug has been fixed. The FSK-D/AFSK-A baud
rate is now global, meaning that one setting applies in all cases. The band
rate is set by holding DATA MD, selecting FSK-D or AFSK-A using VFO B, then
selecting the baud rate using VFO A.
* RTTY/FSK transmit improved: In FSK-D mode using an PC-generated FSK
input, the K3 no longer exhibits DSP errors (ERR DSE) or loss of
communications. Previously, these may have occurred when the K3 was sent too many serial
(RS232) commands.
* A number of bugs in Remote Rig mode have been fixed. See release notes
(accessible from within K3 Utility) for a full list.
* You can now set the crystal filter lower edge in CW mode to 0.1, 0.2, or
0.3 kHz above zero beat. The default is 0.2 kHz. The 0.1-kHz selection
provides enhanced bass response, but may allow you to hear a low-pitched
opposite-sideband signal when you're tuned near very strong signals. The
0.3-kHz selection may be preferred by some operators in extremely strong-signal
environments. To change the setting: Select CW mode, then go into MENU:RX EQ
and tap '0' (CWT) to choose the desired XFIL LO value.

How big is the check you are willing to send? ?I have no inside track on
pricing, but as an engineer, and estimating the size of the market, and what
you are asking I don't think that 10 grand would be unreasonable. ?Would
you still want to jump in line at that price, maybe higher? ?Or are you
looking to get one at a bargain price?

The 4.81 firmware release notes as downloaded from the FTP site show
only the following for version 4.81:
* XVTR IF BAND CAN NOW BE 10 OR 18 MHZ (in addition to the original
selections).
Expansion of the release notes at least to list the steps to set the CW
XFIL LO would be appreciated.

Message-ID: <1391529658363-7583637.post at n2.nabble.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello
I have my KPA500 placed over the KAT500 (probably like many other users)
and
I'm using the Elecraft DB15/DB15 original cable (the first model about 1 cm
diameter, I heard the new cable model has less diameter and is more
flexible
but the length is the same).
It happens I have a mess behind KPA caused by the unused cable length.
I ask if it is available or from Elecraft (better) or from any other dealer
a shorter cable (I think 1 ft length) I could use to safely connect KAT
with
KPA.
Many thanks, best 73

Hi,
Nobody has responded to your post, so I'll hop in with what I know.
Congratulations on your new k3.
I have that birdie, on USB it zero beats at 14,026.3, on LSB at 14,018.9
kHz. It's a fast tuning birdie, very weak and completely inaudible with a
real antenna. But I am curious about your RF gain setting. When I back off
the RF gain to 11 o'clock my S-meter reading rises to S9+30dB and the
receiver is thoroughly deaf, birdie inaudible. Have you done your receiver
gain calibration?

Paul,
The release notes are cumulative. If it was included in an earlier
firmware (whether beta or production), then it is also included in the
higher numbered version - unless it is specifically retracted.
The only exception would be a beta version that does not reach
production status (and that is rare).

Don W3FPR
