Hardware, Cabling, Installations / Distorted audio caused by RF feedback on early Elecraft K3s

« on: 2012-03-05, 15:25:18 »

Thor TF4M who has a very early K3, had problem with distorted audio caused by RF feedback when he was installing his remote station. After lot of troubleshooting he found the Application Note from Elecraft.

http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/K3_Application_Note_Front_Panel_Microphone_Grounding.pdf

This was probably the solution, but instead of making this recommended change, hi made a new cable and connected the RRC to the K3 back mic input instead, and all problem was gone.

Hi

A RC-1216H can not control both the Stepp-IR and the rotator at the same time. You need to have two or a a RC-1216H and Webswitch-1216H (with the extra serial cable). Which also can control the rotator.

The load on the Audio input to the Radio-RRC is 50 ohm. If the radio can't produce enough audio with 50 ohm load  the levels will be low. There is nothing which can be changed by jumpers. I have not noticed any problems with the levels when we tested with FT-2000, but we do not have any FT-2000s now to test with. Test to use the speaker output on the back instead.

Hi

I connected from here (sweden) to your radio, and it works perfect. Even very low latency. So your Radio-RRC and the router at the radio site is set up OK. I can t see the other end. But at least you know where to look. Not much to antenna connected I guess, only a few weak signals on 20m heard.

The audio input to the Radio-RRC are made for "Speaker level" not line out. If you connect it to the phones output or speaker output it will be OK

I think you have some other problem, the existing version of the RRC-Micro work well with HRD. Have you tried connecting from box to box with the same cables, so you now that it's not a cable problem ? Email me the info I need to contact your radio, I will try from here and send you the settings.

The RCC-1258MkIIs  which are in production now (and has been for more than a year) has a stereo codec. But it's a totally different footprint on the new chip so it's not possible to replace the mono chip

Hi

When powering up the relay ouputs will return to the same state as before the 12V was lost. If the Internet fails the relays does not change

The default settings works for most users with high bandwidth as you have. You do not say what your problem is, but if you get short dropouts due to crowded internet connections you can increase the Jitter buffers. Jitter buffer size should always have a higher value than Jitter buffer delay. Remember that the Jitter buffer settings are controlling the recieved audio in each box. If you still got dropouts with maximum settings, you can reduce audio quality to 0 and test. If it doesn't help  and the dropouts are so disturbing that you can not live with it, it's not much to do other than change Internet operator. In most cases it's better to have the same operator in both ends, it will give lower latency and less problem with dropouts etc. I assume that you have checked that nobody else in the household is occupying all bandwidth by watching live video or something.

It's nothing strange with the configuration described, I have tested it my self, but you have to use the right settings both in the RRC:s and in the Radio. And of course the cables and strappings are important, I don't understand what more you ask for

if you use the A20 manual you should look at the settings on page 121. Program mode should be 3 for FT-857 and stop bits should be 2. If you check the latest manual you can see that you can use the FT-857 with detached control panel, like the IC-706, TS-480 etc.
