[Elecraft] K2 Partially built extremely bare bones version A, # 2438.
Bought at a Ham Flea Market about 1/3 built and needing all upgrades and some missing parts. Am surprised that parts are still available from Elecraft, or rather hope that they are. It came with 2 right side panels and no left side. And if all goes well and it eventually works will be looking for an auto tuner board. Very excited about getting into it to see what comes out but it may be a long term project.. 72, Jim / W1FMR __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] K3S, DDS/PLL induced drift, and precision frequency measurement
I use my K3S to participate in the twice year ARRL FMT. I've always come in with a measurement of better than 1 Hz. Not at all bad for amateur radio equipment. And we must remember..the Elecraft K3S is amateur radio equipment. If you expect better, then I'd say take the cost of your K3 or K3S and multiply it by a factor of 10X and that's what you'll likely have to spend to get into the real world of frequency measurements. And in addition to the two events each year for the ARRL FMT, what does one do the other 363 days? That degree of precision is really not needed for day in and day out operation. Most ham transceivers are likely to have errors of greater than 1 Hz. anyway. Just don't believe what the digital display indicates unless you have gone through a very recent calibration. I usually check and adjust mine about once per month, on one of those days I'm bored, the bands are dead and it is raining outside. As to what others say regarding frequency, I take those comments for no more than a grain of salt. It is ham radio, enjoy it. 73 Bob, K4TAX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K3S, DDS/PLL induced drift, and precision frequency measurement
I recently noticed this blog post by WB4SON: https://wb4son.com/wpblog/?p=3784 As he notes in the post, the phenomenon he discusses is not a flaw of the K3S, but rather an intentional design feature included to keep unwanted phase noise of the DDS as low as possible. But apparently it's an effect that would need to be taken into account by anyone interested in very precise frequency measurement at the sub-Hz level. I wonder if there are any comments here, or thoughts on managing it while doing FMT work? I just ordered a new K3S as a first-time user, and FMT (as an absolute rookie) is one area I'm interested in.

Re: [Elecraft] K4
K3 (with the S-mods) and K3S are still strong going and competitive superhets if you have all the necessary filters and use the items in the menu (like AGC-settings etc). It's fast, no delays, easy to use, the panadapterdisplay is already on my computerscreen (don't need a P3 for that) and integrated with mouse control etc. People who use my K3 during a contest are still impressed how smooth the K3 operates in every mode, and how good a receiver it has. Only thing I would like myself is an different noise reduction algorithm. To get there, you probably need new 'infrastucture' like direct digital conversion and full SDR. That's a dicision for the makers. But please for the K3 (this is for Wayne), could you find the time to compensate the S-meter for pre-amp2? 73 all, Arie PA3A (S-modded K3 #1255) __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Mobile high power
Eric, You might let this one through. Ed Eklin, K8ZZ, is 300 counties shy of transmitting from all counties in the 50 states. He drives Hondas. He is available on QRZ and enjoys questions. He has learned how to transmit with his K3, KX3 with 100 amp, etc., over the years without having any auto related computer issues. He just gave another great lecture at our radio club explaining the grounding issues with mobile operation. Dave K8WPE David J.
