K3/0

With the K3 remote functionality, will it be possible to receive on the
remote K3 and transmit on the local K3?

Re: K3/0

Gregg,

If you are using a local (in shack) K3 to control the remote K3, then
the answer is no, that local K3 is now "just" a control head for the
remote K3.

With the K3/0, this will be a seperate box, and if you have a local and
a remote K3, then you will be able to use both at once, if you have a
K3/0 in the shack along side the local K3. I am looking forward to this.
I am crrently using my local K3 to control the remote K3. Works
amazingly well. Really nice to turn knobs and push buttons, rather than
pushing a mopuse around, which I've done for three years.

The K3/0 is supposed to be anounced within a few weeks.

Re: K3/0

I hope we can't do that. I feel you either receive/transit from the remote
site or receive/transmit from the local site. From a contester and Dxer
perspective I do not like the idea of mixing the two. There may be other
reasons to mix, and I may be being shortsighted on this.

Re: K3/0

One good reason would be that you could have full duplex receive/transmit,
if you have a secondary site a ways away. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to
hear the other station while you are transmitting? Another reason I can
think of is if you have a secondary location with much more space e.g. for
Beverage antennas.

For contesting, most contest rules prohibit the use of remote receivers.
Usually the rules require that all equipment (except antennas) must lie
within a 500 meter diameter circle.

Would it violate DXCC rules if you were transmitting from one country
and receiving in another? For example, it might be much easier to work
African stations from here on the west coast of the US if I could use a
receiver in southern Europe.

Re: K3/0

In reply to this post by Thomas Horsten

Thomas,

It would be interesting if I had a remote receive site in Asia so that I
could hear the last four zones I need on 160M. I do know I get out better
than I can receive because of my limited amount of land. So, if I could hear
them, maybe I could work them?

At least in my estimation, I feel it is the nature of working DX that your
operation is in one specific place for working DX, both for receiving and
for transmitting. In fact some of the contests specify this.

I don't have any issues with remote sites for listening and transmitting at
the same time. I think it is a "cool" feature. It offers the possibility
for folks to get on the air with some decent antennas in cases where they
can't have antennas at work or home. Maybe even a remote club where several
hams can enjoy the remote antennas? I can picture a home station involving
just a laptop and low power KX3 tied into nice unmanned hilltop station.
Maybe multiple rigs on the hilltop with amps, multi-antennas? Maybe
multi-multi operation? Develop some software that say a few of us were "on
the air" remotely and could sent text messages between all the ops?

W2RE has a video on remote operation that is real neat.

Even if we can do it and over the years some have set it up through phone
lines and other methods to hear very remotely, I do not believe it is in the
best interest of DXing and Contesting.

Full Duplex could be nice for SSB and Digital. QSK on CW pretty much
provides that now as far as knowing when the other station comes back to
someone. Can't think of any other time full duplex would be helpful. But I
do agree with SSB and Digital.

I have thought for many years that it would be a great feature if a
radio club could set up a super station and offer remote access to its
apartment-bound members. There was no Internet back when I was first
thinking of this so I envisioned microwave links between the apartments
and the station at the top of a nearby mountain. But with the Internet
it is now much easier.

And now with the K3/0 it is even easier still.

Alan,

DXCC Section I, Rule 9, third sentence: "For the purposes of this award,
remote operating points must be located within the same DXCC entity as
the transmitter and receiver."

This says to me that the operator, the transmitter and the receiver must
all be within the same DXCC entity.

Hi Rich,

But at least I could have my receiver on the east coast. I wouldn't

I keep hearing this - and the "HOA limitation" - as justification for
remote operation. As far as I'm concerned both just don't "pass the
smell test."

We moved to Florida just over 13 years ago ... since we've been here
the only antennas I've had are a Cushcraft R5 and a low wire (80/40
trap dipole or Windom no higher than 12 meters above ground). I call
the antenna system the "HOA special". I do not have 240 volts in the
shack and do not run an amplifier - highest power has been 200W from
FT-1000D or Mark V but it's been 100W since the K3 replaced all of the
Yaesu gear.

While we've been here I made DXCC Honor Roll mixed (one away on CW) and
over this past weekend I received the last of the confirmations for WAS
on seven bands (I'm still chasing four relatively populous states on 12
meters). I ran some reports against my log for the time being and find
the following in one sunspot cycle worth of part-time operation:

> *confirmed* (cards/Lotw) totals for current countries:
>
> Confirmed DXCC Challenge total (Phone, CW, RTTY, excludes deleted countries)
> bands 1815
>
> Confirmed DXCC Countries (excludes deleted countries)
> mixed 311
> phone 199
> cw 298
> rtty 263
> 160m 060
> 80m 116
> 40m 184
> 30m 261
> 20m 234
> 17m 280
> 15m 193
> 12m 246
> 10m 178
> 6m 063

The relatively low phone count reflects my dislike of that mode and
the DXCC Challenge total is about 500 less than my "all time" number
since there are quite a few common "old ones" that I have not bothered
to work again on 160/80/40/15/10 since they were already confirmed -
and I lack a real antenna on 160.

Admittedly, I am not in an apartment but I would suggest a similar
antenna system on the roof of an apartment or other antenna limited
space situation would provide similar results. admittedly these
antennas and power level do not make me first in a pile-up and it
takes some effort to get thought in some cases but the lack of big
antennas is not a severe limitation unless one wants to compete with
the likes of K3LR/KC1XX/W3LPL/K1TTT/etc. in CQWW or be first in every
pile-up.

While I understand the desire "to be loud", even modest antennas and
100W are a big change compared to fewer than 140 QSOs in the prior 14
years!

Re: K3/0

I have a ham friend who lives in a studio apartment on the 13th floor.
If he had a balcony he could attach a whip to the railing, but ND. It's
a steel-frame building so indoor antennas are pretty useless. For
someone like him I think a remote station would be a godsend.

Some years ago, a local ham here in Santa Rosa who lived in a condo
installed his ancient, rack-mounted Collins crystal-controlled CW
transmitter at my QTH, connected to a dipole well up in the air. The
control unit had a touch-tone decoder so he could access it via
telephone, key the rig, and select one of two crystals. 40 meters only.
But it allowed him to get on the air with a decent signal using a
receiver and random wire antenna located at his condo. Full break in
too!

Ron,

That's just how K2USA, Fort Monmouth, NJ, worked until the base closed
down forever a few months ago. I've previously posted to this list how
much I enjoyed operating on their 700' rhombic when there, and it was
always using my own call. Sometimes I used my K1, sometimes a borrowed
Ten-Tec Jupiter, and what a shack!

Re: K3/0

In reply to this post by Alan Bloom

Alan,

I have a HAM friend who has moved into assisted living. He cannot install
and outdoor antenna at his location. He would be well served with a remote
setup. I can think of countless HAMs who are in the same predicament. Thus
the need for the K3/0. I would like this setup as well for myself. I want
to set it up to operate from anywhere in the house or when travelling to
communicate through the home station and have a separate device attached to
a PC so both can be used at the same time. To occupy a PC totally with a
radio, but having a separate "rig" attached to leave the desktop for other
use is what I would prefer.

I have a ham friend who lives in a studio apartment on the 13th floor.
If he had a balcony he could attach a whip to the railing, but ND. It's a
steel-frame building so indoor antennas are pretty useless. For someone
like him I think a remote station would be a godsend.

Some years ago, a local ham here in Santa Rosa who lived in a condo
installed his ancient, rack-mounted Collins crystal-controlled CW
transmitter at my QTH, connected to a dipole well up in the air. The
control unit had a touch-tone decoder so he could access it via telephone,
key the rig, and select one of two crystals. 40 meters only.
But it allowed him to get on the air with a decent signal using a receiver
and random wire antenna located at his condo. Full break in too!

Mike,

I am saddened to hear that. I was trained at Ft. Monmouth and have been to
and operated at the station back in 1970. All Collins... sweeeeet!

Ron,

That's just how K2USA, Fort Monmouth, NJ, worked until the base closed down
forever a few months ago. I've previously posted to this list how much I
enjoyed operating on their 700' rhombic when there, and it was always using
my own call. Sometimes I used my K1, sometimes a borrowed Ten-Tec Jupiter,
and what a shack!

Ron,
The shack looks like it didn't change much like it was in the 60's? Used to
run MARS phone patch traffic. I had thought the Rhombic was 3-curtain?
Tnx for the pix.

By the way, I don't remember for sure, but didn't Ft. Lewis, WA MARS station
have a Rhombic on base and another Rhombic in OR tied together for dual
diversity? I vaguely remember something about this. It was for phone patch
traffic to Southeast Asia.

So ... what exactly about that "smells"? You figure they're trying to
cheat in some way? What else would you have against somebody doing that?

Re: K3/0

I will guess that Joe is suggesting that remote operation should not be needed to enjoy ham radio from any location. Maybe, I am just guessing.

Sorry to hear the station closed. I was there from September 1966 through
March 1967. Ate a lot of pizza in that lobby. Drank some coffee, too. Lots
of good memories.

The 3 element 40m Telrex was a real flame thrower then. Btw, I thought that
rhombic was pointed at Honolulu.
