Conditions were quite good this week with only a little QRM. Topics were:
French amateurs running AM nets on 3550 KHz, usually active most mornings, plus the usual fishing boats... S-Meter calibration on both the K2 and K3. General view was that the K3 can be very accurately calibrated. Softrock and Rocky, pay attention to the cables between the Softrock and the sound card input, especially watching the balance. CW sending while on SSB, press key 1 in the "CW weight" menu option. The recent speaker resistor grounding modification to protect the AF amplifier IC. Aluminium flight cases for the K3, the suggested Maplin case (www.maplin.co.uk order code N70AP) that is often on sale for £14.99, may be too small to accommodate the K3. The Expert 1K-FA linear amplifier Stations were: G4ARI, Tim M1PAF, Paul G0VGS, Ian GM0ELP, Doug GM3SEK, Ian M0MRW, Mike G4CWB, Dave G4NWJ, Jim Merry Christmas! Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80, Acom 1000 linear, dipole. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
