[Elecraft] WAS: (With all the problems) ... New Elecraft Opportunities - Products ..
A little Off Topic the way I've wrote this perhaps (apologies) ... Wayne - N6KR Wrote ...Our goal is to improve existing products while seeking input on new products and features.. Our motto, hands-on ham radio, our customers as well building Elecraft gear. I hope we all have a richer experience as a result... = Well MY VOTE in case I've missed it ?? would be for a: Dedicated Elecraft Product (FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T\HAVEN'T BUILT ONE BEFORE) Elecraft Styled Portable-in-Hand Step Attenuator The kind that can be left in line during Rx\Tx and adjusted accordingly for various Power Outputs from ones transceiver ... There was a nice design to take ones transceiver into the Milliwatt AND Microwatt output power range in the 1981 or 1983 ARRL Handbook from what I remember ..? And I think Ten Tec did one in yester-year also but their like Hen's Teeth to find now ... For me this would be a tremendous addition to the shack, so perhaps for others as well... And YES Wayne ! This WOULD make my operating experience a LOT Richer .. Again Apologies guy's if I've missed-the-train on this, not checked the Elecraft website in quite a while... 73's Andy GM0NWI andy.gm0n...@btinternet.com __ 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] Elecraft KX-3 Serial Numbers To Date ...
As of April 2012... Anyone know where we might be with the Elecraft KX-3 Transceiver Serial Numbers... Re: Those folks who have been Field Testers Those That Have Their Radio Shipped Already.. Maybe A STUPID QUESTION ! ? For THAT I Unreservedly Apologise for bringing this up, but being a future KX-3 Buyer, I'm kinda interested. Just Wanted To Know sorta, get a ball-park figure of the very little that like everyone else, I KNOW that has been played-with or shipped thus far.. ...The Reasoning Behind This... I have 2 x K2's... One being a Vintage K2 in at least that the rig is STILL stock NOT upgraded in ANY way firmware wise.. Serial Number : 01432 My 2nd K2 I can't recall at the moment it's Serial Number - But I guess maybe in the 3000's - 4000's - 5000's Serial (Lisa@Elecraft will know tho)... So I Kinda was playin' around with Serial Numbers in my head and was thinkin, of tryin to order a KX-3 when the time comes with the SAME Serial Numbers as my K2's ... Or something more Special Agent Covert - akin to Serial Number 007 or something.. Anyways whatever happens in the near future I KNOW - I WILL BE more than pleased with whatever I get from the folks there in Aptos..

[Elecraft] Soon To Be KX-3 Owner Question ...
Guy's... Can someone shed some light on wether the KX-3 has got audible (to the ear) CW Sidetone from the internal speaker / Like we are mostly used to with just about any other radio ? Just watched the KX3 Activates Little Si For Summits On The Air - SOTA video on Youtube ...way ta go fella's who did that ! But one thing that to me seems apparent in the video is the LACK of high volume on the internal speaker for when a person is actually keying the radio themselves... As apposed to the station coming back to them Perhaps it was just the outdoors location that seemed to mute or make the audio from the KX3's internal speaker sound a bit lower in volume the sidetone oscillation audio on the video, I don't know..so thought I'd ask for comments from folks with more experience..

[Elecraft] K2 K1 E-Numbers ..
Good Afternoon Folks From Bonnie Scotland... Just wonderin' if some kind person here on the list could possible post up.. The E Numbers for the black knobs that cover the shafts on the Volume ... RF-Gain Switches etc (and all others I've not included)... On The .. Elecraft K2 Transceiver Elecraft K1 Transceiver I think the knob SIZES (so therefore e-numbers) WILL be different in both cases here ... From what I remember the size of the knobs on the K1 are slightly SMALLER in diamater to the K2 - So perhaps the e-numbers for stock purposes will be different.. I realise the E-Numbers for these will be in the subsequent build manuals for each rig... Unfortunatley at the moment, my manual is temporarily stored in an un-accessable place for me here in the home.. Hope this doesn't cause too much fuss for folks .. Lookin' forward to what ever folks can share THANKS for all the help on this.. 73's Andy GM0NWI andy.gm0n...@btinternet.com __ 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] Radio Electronics Line Drawing Software, URL's, Libraries...
Hello Good People (on the various lists included) Just wanted to ask try to explain what I am looking for Does anyone have any idea where to find, I guess the Artwork (as I would call it - perhaps this is the wrong words to use on my account of ignorance !) for when a person wants to design radio cabinets, panels, switches, knobs etc etc. We all have the various manufacturers manuals that come with our equipment where we see the black white line drawings throughout the pages there, outlining the various functions controls etc. What I am tryin' to ascertain is - How Is This Done\Designed within the various manufacturers BEFORE we actually go and buy a given piece of equipment that comes with it's said manual ? What\How do the various designers in a given company use on their respective computers to put these pictures of equipment in line drawing form for us to see ? Is it done with some sort of C.A.D. software ? or maybe something else ? Is\Will There Be a steep learning curve for this sort of thing for a general ham op to play around with ? Is there some kind of readily available software that someone on the list already uses, that perhaps comes with its own Libraries for the designers to use to put together the final Black White Line Drawings that we all see in these given manuals etc etc ? Or perhaps a URL that someone knows with software libraries included ? I would like to try and build up here on my shack PC a Library of different pictures if you like of various designs done in this way to hopefully use in the future where I put an idea together - To help I guess with the final look of something that comes to mind. I've tried on many occasions (to many to remember !) to turn a internet Photo - into - a line drawing with Adobe Photoshop to see if that would be an easy answer, alas the results were disappointing to say the least. Although I am NOT by any means an electronics wizard\guru, I DO however get immense enjoyment out of trying to design the various parts\elements to the ideas that sometimes come into my mind regarding this sort of thing. With all the brilliant beautiful minds that fill the various lists here, I am hoping that someone can give some good insight thoughts to what some of the answers to this may be, NOT just for me but for future folks out there that have perhaps as yet asked the same question - But have always wondered. Thanks Goes Out To Each Everyone Of You Out There Across the Globes Continents, the 4 Corners Of The Globe for at least taking the time to possibly read this.. Much Obliged, 73's Andy GM0NWI andy.gm0n...@btinternet.com __ 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] KX3 External Iambic Key Post...
Guy's... Yesterday I posted a plea for anyone with insider-information, particularly wether the folks at Elecraft will be offering the key (seen in some of the Video posts by others recently) as an individual item that one might purchase - albeit at a later date when things at Elecraft are all sorted out with the KX3 rig and ready for us all to make our respective orders.. I was in particular looking for someone who was at Dayton who may have asked either Wayne Or Eric the very same question I posted here on the list yesterday... A ball-park price would have been nice also.. So far, no direct information replies on this from the group or an individual on the group.. But ! I HAVE to ask..WHY is the heading of my post from yesterday being used for discussion on other matters ? Can we try PLEASE - to not hijack others post headings on the list, mainly so that others who are looking for a particular area of interest (i.e Me ..in this case), and such like,.. for any info on the KX3 External Paddle can do NOT have to wade through many, many posts in anticipation that there might be something of interest in what one is looking for\asking.. Only to be faced with subjects that are not directly - or sometimes otherwise related to the original post Heading .. Sorry to be a Curmudgeon on this guy's, but for those of us who can't make Dayton now or at any time in their life, this information if sought found ahead of an official release can be valuable - and may be also to others.. I personally are waiting patiently to find out info on availability pricing on this particular item...

[Elecraft] New Japanese - JA QRP Book...
Good Morning Good People.. Just came across this a few moments ago.. Mr.Imai JF1RNR http://qrpjapan.blogspot.com/2010/03/japanese-qrp-books-6.html New to me, perhaps to others also... Since this is the most likely best place to post such Info as there will more than likely be some JA Stations who lurk around these parts... AND.. (my way of thinking anyway) perhaps there may be some Japanes Americans reading this also.. Can someone please look into this publication - Either by finding out more about if one can actually read Japanese from the website it's displayed on here.. OR.. Perhaps someone might know how to contact the QRP Group there, or perhaps the original author - Mr.Imai JF1RNR and enquire if indeed there is an English Version of the book available.. Will there be an English Version available at anytime ? Perhaps some of the folks here who actually run a QRP outlet might have the contacts to Convert the Japanese language to English and then perhaps arrange for it to be printed elsewhere For a wider English speaking market.. IF NOT THEN How do Radio Hams outside of Japan actually go about ordering this book ? - Even tho they may NOT be able to personally read Japanese.. There seems to be some discussion that the illustrations are easy to follow ... with great pencil drawn clear illustration and markings so I guess that this still might be a great book for some of us who are interested to add to our QRP Library.. I for one are real interested in this so I thought others might be also .. Just wanted to share What I found with the group.. Let's hope this gets some real good discussion from the list members in the coming days... 73's Andy GM0NWI andy.gm0n...@btinternet.com __ 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] Any ZL Stations QRV On The List ..?
Folks.. Wonderin' if any ZL-Stations are QRV on the list..? I've got an uncle in Taradale - Hawkes Bay, ..who TOOK the exam for ZL Licencee about 10 years ago and sadly failed...close tho so am told... We are in daily chat on MSN from GM-Land to ZL... and he has expressed a desire to learn again, with a view of eventually takin the exam in the hope of Earning his FULL HF licence ... If there is an ZL stations on the list who know, what has to be done (I've already given him the NZART website and he's currently looking ..but unsure as to what he needs to download) and WHO to contact as respect to the possibility of a tutor in his area... Could someone from that area or generally a ZL Station near him get intouch with me, and I can share some details and give pointers on his current situation..?? I see from my search on the NZART website, that there are some book packs that one can order to aid with studying for the ZL exam, available direct From NZART... This might be a start for him, but again I DON'T want to instruct him to go buy these, if he does'nt have some form of local tutor, Or class to attend in his local area.. some advice on this either to myself or direct would be better I feel.. He HAS already began lookin' at some kind of Syllabus - But I think from what he has said that it's the AMERICAN LICENCING SYLLABUS from the ARRL Website.!! (Horror) So don't want him to go down a track that will lead to confusion and possible failure.. I'd appreciate this tremendously ... I have been in contact with him over the last 15 years or so, and the subject of him gettin' licenced comes up WEEKLY.. I was under the impression that the New Zealand licencing structure was the same as here in the UK (i.e Novice - Intermediate - FULL) but I received an e-mail from my uncle just this morning, and he seems to think (dunno if he's looked into this in the last few days) that this is NOT the case..?? Not wanting to cause him anymore confusion, I've took the initive to firstly see if anyone down there local to him, might be able to telephone Or even personally pay him a visit to help him on his way.. Here's Hopein... Lookin' Forward To Any Replies... Until then.. Kia-Ora And Thankyou.. 73's Andy GM0NWI[EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.

[Elecraft] Future Personal\Club\Dealer Poject ..Possibly..?
Guy's.. Whilst sittin' here lookin' out the warm n cozy shack window, at the absolutely atrocious weather we are having here in Stirling, Bonnie Scotland... I came across a recent present, sort of... an empty Cadburys biscuit tin that a relative had left me to do anything with over The festive season...you know that kind I'm sure.. The big square tin boxes that hold multi-compartments with a range of ones favourite Assorted biscuits and confectionaries... This one is a nice deep dark purple color with hardly any markings cept for the 4 sides Where the makers emblem is painted... No raised ridges etc with embossed lettering or anything of that ilk... Well.. it kinda got me thinkin... I for one for more years than I care to remember have yearned after skill and possibly someones Guidance\Companionship to construct either an authentic or revised up-to-date Paraset WWII radio - as used by our very own S.O.E Men and woman in the field of conflict during the hostilities... There are so many people on this list, of varying vintages shall we say (not wanting to offend anyone you see of course)..with Varying degrees of knowledge, enthusiasm, experience... ALL with the SAME degree of enthusiasm, some of us just need to be guided, Prodded, pushed, shoved in the right direction..! Is'nt that what Ham Radio AND QRP is all about..?? Wouldn't this tinif someone had the know how, be a great donor for such a project..!? I am and probably will be for the rest of My ham career feeling my way as regards the giant footsteps of Homebrew, but no-doubt there are others out there who could Envisage this.. I've looked for many a year at the various sites on the net, that describe the folks who have courageously delved right In to undertake such projects - For me tho, I think this could be a long way off.. Would any of the well known and respected small kit-suppliers amongst us, ever consider updating (if possible) the circuit of these Historic, nostalgic radio's..? I personally don't know where to start ! but if someone had the know-how or could possibly get together With some like minded people putting their combined knowledge together, I'm sure with the past years releases in the QRP Fraternity that we have seen from folks around these parts ...That a revised edition just might be possible.. Then folks like me, would have an REAL good excuse to have something to build into that leftover Christmas biscuit tin.. sittin there Just cryin' out to be cannablised.. or is it vandalised..!! Oh ! Heck..you know what I mean... Please take it away guy's, give the list your thoughts, desires, loves needs on this...and anything else you care to SHARE with us ... Remember Knowledge Is Power...just because we choose not to use a lot of it (think about it..!) ..does'nt mean we don't have it..! Just a thought.. 72's 73's[EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy GM0NWI Elecraft K2 Fully Loaded QRP S/n 01432 Elecraft K2 Fully Loaded QRO S/n 05469 No virus found in this outgoing message.

[Elecraft] Just Wonderin'...
Guy's... Santa came REAL early this year.. today I took delivery of the ARRL Handbook 2008 and the new version of the Low Power Communications book by Rich Arnald.. It's gonna be a good one..! Flickin' through the new Handbook I came across the article again for the 3CX1500D7 RF Linear Amplifer... the Very same one that was featured on the front cover of last years handbook with the write up inside also.. It got me thinkin... Exactly HOW MUCH, would the tube or tubes for one of these beauties cost in todays money..?? Also the base for the Tube, HOW MUCH would that be..?? WHERE would one purchase such things.. (don't see any reference in the article to places that may stock these).. Indeed if the parts are expensive at todays prices ... is there an older alternative that one could use in such A homebrew project..??

[Elecraft] W1FB Tuna Tin Circuit
Guy's... This might sound REALLY out of this world.. BUT.. In all my QRP Library publications,..AND most places I've looked, I just can't find the original schematic circuit diagram for our very own Doug DeMaw's ORIGINAL Tuna Tin Tx'er.. Yep.! There's plenty pics of folks creations from the design and also the new pictures and design circuits of the offerings From Rex W1??? Who does those type of things for us nowadays.. I kinda thought - wrongly maybe that there would be reproduced circuit diagrams, or actual hand drawing scribbling of the Original design by Doug - perhaps not.. Anyone give out any pointers or ideas here please..

Glad to say that many of you came thru on this for me.. and I now have the information I was looking for.. Infact I HAD the original QST issue with the article by Doug all along here in the shack, just did'nt realise.. Many, Many Thanks to each and everyone of you who responded ..there most likely will be others in the coming days.. But thankyou One an all for the efforts, It was such a mystery to me, that with all the QRP Publications (as someone said, even the ones by Doug himself) did'nt have the original 70's circuit in there..! Go Figure.. Anyway, gonna be studyin' this for the next few days, I'm thinkin' about putting on my santa note, to see if I could either get The original parts from the 70's (that'll keep the elfs busy..) or maybe one of the updated versions there in my Christmas stocking ( Note - They are ONLY for Christmas)..!

RE: [Elecraft] K2 Seven Years Old
Snip [...It is hard to believe, but 7 years ago today, I finished my K2 S/N 1422 and had the first QSO on it...] Well.. THAT DOES give me hope Steve..! I must have purchased my beloved K2 S/n 01432 soon afterwards... AND SHE'S STILL NOT COMPLETE..!! They say Life Takes You On A Journey.. It certainly has here..!, what with health problems that I am plagued with daily (I suffer from Spina Bifida and are confined 24/7 to a wheelchair for mobility), an just when I started out on this journey my landlord in their wisdom decided to Update all 74 houses here on the sheltered housing complex I stay in here in Stirling, Scotland.. As The Eagles would say.. ..it's a long, long road.. with many a winding turn..!! Boy am I sure lookin' forward to it's end.. Snip [...The rig has worked great since it was completed..] Well, I came to join the Elecraft Brother And Sisterhood, kinda late in the proceedings, I had heard about the rig, and all the wonderful things It was supposed to be capable of doing then join the family here on the reflector.. Been here ever since, what a Wonderful family to be part of For sure, never in the history of my Ham Career have I been so privileged to be part of such a wonderful bunch of folks, ..can't ever ... see me Leavin'.. Snip ...I have incorporated the various mods (new crystals,latest firmware etc)and accessories KSB2, KAT2, KIO2, KNB2, KAF2, K160RX. The rig and the KPA100 and KAT100.. have served me well and should for years. Yip..! Got All That Still To Come..! I really hope that when the day comes and she's all complete and ready to go that I too am fortunate enough to Have that experience,.. for me building the K2 WAS..Building The Dream.. a boyhood dream from the tender age of 11 years, all I wanted to do was build one of those radio's like the radio ham's do and have my own shack, ...talk to AMERICA nothing else mattered (and still doesn't), here we are 17 lightening fast years down the line, and I have managed to fulfil that dream in so many ways.. 1: Became A Ham in February 1990, same day I moved independently into my first home of which I am still living in at present .. 2: Speak/Spoke to AMERICA nearly every day since including during the sunspot decline and minimum on the HF bands, made literally thousands (or could it be millions..!) of friends around the world, not only in AMERICA but from All 4 Corners Of The World..278 Countries To Date to be exact.. 3: BUILT One Of Those Radio's Like The Radio Ham's Do.! Then duly bought another one from Wayne Eric (still to be built)..! 4: Here we are 17 years later and Still learning and enjoying this wonderful hobby we are all so blessed to be part of.. 5: Only Thing left to do .. is Get Them Finished..! (which I'm working on.!) Life couldn't be sweeter..! (Unless of course I lived in AMERICA or Alaska with Multi-Band 100 Foot Towers.. 1 or 2KW (at my disposal..!) AND if only I had learned electronics and Ohms law ..much MUCH..earlier in my life, and was better at construction that I am today.. Thanks for sharing your little insight into your Journey Steve with the Elecraft K2, you have given me and probably countless others around the World tonight the inspiration to go on and get the job done.. To all those folks that have been and are waiting patiently on the day when they finally receive their K3's be patiend.. ..Our Day Will Come.. Hope to work you along with each and everyone of our fellow Elecrafter brothers n sisters someday soon, when my health and schedule permit me to Melt More Solder I know there are folks out there just waiting in anticipation on that day..

[Elecraft] Elecraft K1, KX1, K2, K2/100 AND K3
Hello Good People..! I just HAD to add my 2p/2c worth to this one.. Speaking primarily as a guy who has been involved in radio as a Window To The Outside World..and a disabled operator In a wheelchair, where radio IS his life.. for communication, pleasure and the HIM the umpteenth Wonder Of The World..! I don't given a rat's ***..! What the ANY of the Elecraft stuff does or does'nt do..! PERIOD..! For me the description on Wayne Eric's equipment when we all firstly came across this outstanding achievement both Personally (for them as radio hams, engineers,enthusiasts .. and people who had a goal..!) it say's it ALL for me.. For a boy who uses his radio as a medium which for the most part far out seeds the normal guy on the block, and who Since the first day of his birth has had to fight to stay alive, .. and had a Boyhood Dream since the age of 11 ..to build a radio.. like those radio ham guy's have ...and talk to the world.. AND I DID IT..! TWICE.. (Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 Elecraft K2 S/n 05469).. so for me, they have fulfilled EVERY DREAM I have ever had to be as good as the next guy, be noticed in the crowd.. That.! to me is worth more than all the Money in the world - more than words can ever say.. NO Mean Feat Of Achievement I can assure you, with all the physical and neurological problems that I have had since Birth.. and that's NOT taking away ANYTHING from each and everyone of us here on the list, who undertook and ACHIEVED The very same thing... These guy's (may) (may not) be the best in their fields, ..that is NOT for us to Discuss, Ponder, or be Judge 'n Jury On.. They have played with Something Old (Ham Radio), Something Borrowed (possibly some of their idea's).. and Something New (the drive for those of use who have lost it - to GET BACK INTO Ham Radio - and that can ONLY be a good thing..they've re-kindled old spirit - in EACH and EVERYONE of us..! They've even brought the product(s) to our attention at a time where we are pushing the boundaries of electronics WORLDWIDE, with many changes going on around us, that we have no control over and incorporated some of this technology into their products.. .FOR EACH AND EVERYONE.. OF..US..! They've even possibly played with Something Blue too.. (think teeth).. Who know's what lies ahead in the coming months - Years from The Bhoys In San Aptos, they've certainly made their mark, made themselves known with a BIG Bang..! NO ONE Can doubt that.. Everyone's talkin' about Elecraft.. It's more talked about even, than the OJ Trial..! They kept their secret weapon a secret..! We had no idea, so gentlemen, what can we expect ?

Blank K3 Cabinets, Feet, Bail-Stands and the like.. Infact just about anything K3 related That you guy's will hopefully make available to us, which we can use to construct our own kits etc, Or add to an existing project to finish it off..

Wayne, Eric And The Crew... You guy's just ROCK My World..! I know..I speak for everyone here on the list when I say that also... I was fortunate enough to see The original post from you this morning Wayne (doing some late night web-ferreting).. Won't keep you long..just wanted to ask primarily as a constructor, will you guy's be also making available to us things like Blank matching K3 enclosures, knobs, buttons, carry-handles (nice feature) etc etc... In the same way as you currently do with most Of the previous Elecraft kits..?? Also.. Does the K3 have a tilt-Stand feature..? I personally enquired about the possibility of these becoming available as parts To Lisa a few weeks back, and can now understand why that question went un-answered..! No Worries there, Enquiring-Minds just would Like to know.. Infact, will there be spares available for just about anything to do with the K3..?? and possibly the Amps when they become Available..?? Thats the basic question here..?? Anyway, what an outstanding job you have all done for us here in the world of ham radio, and also the QRP Fraternity for sure Wayne.. Sit back and let the Kudos flood in my friend, then after take a well earned rest from the onslaught.. You and the crews achievements are well Appreciated and well deserved you have all worked diligently hard on Building The Dream and making it a reality..! Well Done, ..

[Elecraft] Norcal Sierra - Wilderness Radio Sierra - Dans Small Parts
Guys'.. Let's see if we can sort the mess in my head ... Thinkin of building the Sierra (from that famous QRP'er and constructor we all know and love..) later on in the year.. I have (if I can find it) a manual for ..a Sierra.. transceiver, I think it's the Norcal version... but not sure.. What I need to get straight in my tiny mind is-: 1.. Are the Norcal Sierra and the Wilderness Radio Sierra the SAME BEAST in ALL WAYS or SOME WAYS..? 2.. Are they a totally different beast...? 3.. Should I order the boards from Dans Small Parts and source the parts..? 4.. if I were to order the parts from Dans, would I eventually end up with virtually the same radio as the Norcal Sierra version of the radio or are there differences...? 5.. Could I use the manual for constructing a Dans version of the radio, that I need to still find here...? The Wilderness Sierra is usually the way I would go on things like this, but like most of us, there are a LOT of projects getting done here in the shack at the moment, so money is an issue for the initial outlay.. Sourceing the parts (if the boards from Dan's would make me end up with virtually the same radio as the Wilderness Sierra version) would DEFINATLEY be the way I would go this time... After all sourcing parts is half the fun ..right..!? In the end if I needed for some reason, technically, or from the point of a constructor, to order the complete kit from Wilderness Radio instead, this would be a big financial outlay for me at this point so would have to wait.. I hear y'all say there is always the ARRL version with templates.. Dare I ask... is this yet a 3rd version of a different Beast... ?? All of the above questions I suppose will bring many varied answers, but I would appreciate someone who can explain this to me like a kid in diapers.. Can you guys please help me resolve this problem that I've admittedly had for some time now.. You guys have an uncanny way of solving most problems I have had over the years so I have every faith in y'all.. Hope I've explained my predicament properly.. Here Goes.. GO..!

[QRP-L] Re: [Elecraft] Norcal Sierra - Wilderness Radio Sierra - Dans Small Parts
.. not such an Important Thing within the proceedings is it..!!! I am told that the manual For both the Norcal version of the radio AND the manual (of sorts here..) from Far Circuits both could be a little More clearer on things, and as yet as folks are aware NOT been updated or re-written yet... SO..! with ALL of the above points in mind... I think that the plan will be, as it had been a few years back, milling around in my tiny little head, that the purchase of either the basic Wilderness Sierra version of the radio will be for me at the least and time Being.. the way to go.. Complete kit (if I want it), parts ready available, better quality circuit boards, components, a better written More precise and clear manual, AND a Guarantee ... Things kinda swings in its favour for me with these points alone.. NOT ! To say, that I won't venture sometime through my ham career and try my hand at a sierra from some other source, either parts only with my doing the rest of the work, or perhaps even buying the Norcal Sierra version.. But for the time being, when I have Finally saved up all my pennies\cents I think the way to go for me will be the purchase of some sort of Wilderness Radio Sierra Kit.. I would just like to say, a resounding THANKS GUYS to one and all who took the time to read my plea and respond respectively...each And every one of your comments, both for and against have been duly noted... Again it just goes to show, that the QRP Fraternity, is Alive n Kickin with all its mite... and that within amateur radio as a hobby worldwide on a whole.. we have some of best and most Knowledgable people who can share their knowledge and experience in a helpful, unbiased, experienced manner... With that, I thank you again.. I will no doubt post again as an when I actually purchase the Sierra kit and keep you all informed of its Progress, I've admired that little radio from the first day I saw it all those many years ago, with the help and experience that you Guys have shared with me and everyone here on the list over the last few days, I can say that I am much more wiser and confident of the way ahead... 72's 73's Andy GM0NWI [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I am looking for ONLY the Case\Enclosure and the inside Chassis of one Of the above pieces of equipment... I am not currently looking to purchase A fully loaded example of these radio's... I am currently undertaking a new project.. which still has a ways to go before completion, so a case\enclosure and chassis would help no-end with the final Accomplishment... Let me say a HUGE Thankyou to everyone that has taken the time so far... to post Both the list and personally to me with things that they have found while surfin The net.. I however have still to find an example either of the parts that I need and still need to purchase these items... I have looked previously at some other older models of Heathkit equipment on the Well known auction site we all know and love... However I feel and have decided That the enclosure\case(s) from the above model(s) are more suited to the project I am about undertake therefore don't feel that any other type\kind of Heathkit Enclosure would suite my needs... So again let me remind you all .. if there is anyone out there that has or knows of anyone who may have these above pieces lying around.. surplus to requirements, and wants to sell.. please contact me OFF list directly at the e-mail address below.. then perhaps we can do a deal... 72's 73's Andy GM0NWI [EMAIL PROTECTED] K2 S/n 01432 Fully Loaded QRP K2 S/n 05469 Fully Loaded QRO -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I'm not sure what its called or if it still sold, maybe some of the guys on this list can steer you as to where to get one. My daughter got it at Radio Shack and paid about $10.00 back then Anyway it's a little plastic thing that an IC can fit into. You know how the pins are aren't straight down on an IC and you sort of have to press them against a table top to get them all lined up? Well with this 'thing' you just put the IC into the groove and squeeze the sides of he contraption and presto! ...straight pins that can be placed into the PC board of your K2 (Don't use sockets, BTW) It has two sides which can be used and accommodates both 'regular' size IC's and the larger ones.

One is the original and one is a very thin pointy tip. I have a static mat, a clear bench and a workable light. I'm thinking I need the following and wonder if there is a preferred place to get them at a fair price? - Solder - Small side cutters - Small needle nose pliers - Other tips for the weller - Helping hands parts holder - Solder braid (for desoldering) I have access to a vacuum desolder station so if things get bad I can go that route.

[Elecraft] Nickel Plateing
Guy's.. Just wanted to ask,... Does anyone on the list, know of a company in the the US, where I could enquire about having an item here in the shack (UK), re-nickel plated..? The item is, a 1924 Vibroplex Code Martin Junior morse key, bought by myself on that site that can't be mentioned.. I've spent the best part of a year of my life, restoring this key, back to just about fully working order, although not a patch on the restorations (I dont think so anyway) of our very own Chuck Adams K7QO, I'm very pleased with my results for a first time tryin' my hand at a resoration project. There are some who would say, leave it as is, and others who say yep, that'll be nice when shineing againbelieve me, I have been tossing with both ideas for about a year now...after all you guys saying such things..! I wondered in the beginning if the key COULD indeed be restored, but with a little bit of patience, and a LOT of time, it is once again nearly fully functional as it was intended for back in 1924, all parts that were stuck fast are now free, and working as they should be, ...the only thing is cosmetics really,.. I feel that parts of the key could do, with some restoration on the nickel-plating side, as it wont be going anywhere in a hurry, and will stay in my possession, so I think its worth spending the money to have it done. I have looked over the net, but don't have any idea from the names seen, as to who might be interested in the job, mainly as the job will probably be seen as small lot.. SO..! if there is anyone out there on the list who knows of such a company that might be interested in a small lot job, or indeed someone who has in the past gotten this done to one of their own keys, say a ham out there willing to help me (i.e an address to send the key and some payment to where upon the subsequent ham could get the job done, and then send the key back to me in the post (paid by myself of course) , or indeed a ham who can help themselves with the key through experience, please can you let me know.

[Elecraft] WTD: Hi-Mound BK-100 Manual
Guy's Was at a rally this weekend in the town of Irvine (Scotland). Picked up one of the above keys, in good shape, for the fantastic sum of ?10.00 (British Pounds) at the bring n buy/junk sale seems to be all in working order, the key came with a supplied length of power lead and jack.also came with the plastic top clear see-through cover, although this seems in need of a little attention (looks like someone has tried to clean the cover in the past with some sort of scourer...leaving the plastic a little frosted looking). Was wondering if anyone has a manual for this little babe...?I'm new to bug type keys of any kind, and not sure on how to set her up for operation properley would also like to check out that there are no defective, or missing parts All costs will be reinburst TIA ...TFBW 72s Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...I Just See It.!..

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432...LIVES.!!
Yes' Sir'ee! You read that correctly...! As of today 23rd April 2005... ... Elecraft K2 S/n 01432.. LIVES..!! Bhoy's... ! You CANT...even begin to know how I feel today...! This, for me, has been only the 3rd most happiest times in my entire life..! The 1st...passing my driving test in 1983, ...first time aroundwith a hand controlled car The 2nd Passing my Ham Ticket...after 18 months 12 HOURS A DAY...constant studying of the Manual...and all other literature involved.. . and the 3rd... The Birth Of My Elecraft K2 S/n 01432..! Oh..! Yes...! . as the man himself Mr Elvis Aron Presley ...sang about many, many a time in my room at home... I Got My Mojo Working... And BOY IT FEELS GOOD..!! Now I KNOW...what all the talk has been about on the reflector, HF Bands, magazinesetc for the last 5 years of my life... What a truly Monumentous occassion happened here today...! Some of you guy's will remember earlier in the week, where I posted to the reflector... that there had indeed been a hiccup in the construction of my Baby... ... with the Alignment Test Past II section of the manual, and I was admittedly strugglin' with the way of the manual, shall we say, ..not knowing wether I was actually doing the correct proceedure for alignment on the 40M Band...(in and around Page 50)... Well... Once Again... my dear friend, mentor...and...close friend John Ross GM1BSG...has again (...keep readin' John..!) Saved The Day... From the outset of the beginning of the construction of K2 S/n 01432 (...yeah..I know..its layen in a cupboard t... long..!)... John has been an absolutley monumentally oustanding rock for me throughout all of this... the man is a pure genius...a fantastic friend, shoulder to cry on the whole shootin' match... When others all around me, constantly said, ..you'll never do that Andy...your not good enough... John... helped me rise above it all...with his kind words, determination, and sheer bloody-mindedness,... telling me that he Knew...! that I could do it.. ...I thought he was lying or just sayin that to help me along,...but today, it all fell into place..and now I beleive him...Without HIM...I CAN say, that I would still be scratching my head on this one, with the only thing to do backtrack through the manual...which we did to a certain extent, but nothing like I would have needed to do on my own if he were'nt here.. Today, we connected up some Serious test equipment, I'll leave John to explain the finer points of that and quickly found the problem... What Was I Hear Y'all Say...?? In a word ME... Dumb-%^*...! here had forgotten in my wisdom, to include a couple of very important componants during the last few pages before puttin her together for the Big Smoke Test...! R39 and another componant...on the back left-hand-side of the RF Board...which of course, allowed me to tune the various filters, even for 40m...but was stopping the rig from receiving ...ANYTHING !! on 40m... a quick read of the schematic (by John..!) and a scan of the board, brought this to our attentionWhere I ..hastily made a quick retreat to the kitchen...! ...and I'm NOT joking...!! How small once again did I feel for the 2nd time this week.?? Another small problem that I seemed to have had, was with some switching of the 40m filter,this turned out to be Toroid T5 or T6 which I had orientated in the wrong direction..! making it act, kinda like a choke or attenuator (or so john explained..!) this was b.a.d. ... as you can imagine, attenuating, so to speak the signals on 40m... Must have been one of those moments of madness, ...where I had visited other rooms in the house for a moment and forgotten on returning where I was at...or perhaps what I was partaking in at the time... I've learned my lesson for sure... But it did raise a few eyebrows. and ...temperatures..! I can tell you, when John found out what had happened infact,..he has made sure that I NEVER apply for a job at his satellite business, where they undertake the fabrication of satalite receivers, LMB's etc etc...EVER..!! (...aye John..?) A quick change around of the toroid, a solder of the 2 componants that I had ommited to install... BANG..! There they weresignals 5-5, 5-7, 5-9 ...all on 40m CW..!! Fanfare Plays In The Background...! Oh..! Joyess Moment...! ...and nearly tears of happiness all around SO..! Glad to say that K2 S/n 01432 is now receiving stations on 40m CW...Boy Its Good..!.. Still got a couple of problems to sort out,... Like WHY..the S-Meter is still sitting at S3 of constant... when there is nothing to be heard on the band...or any stations on a particular frequency Suppose I'll come across why later in the manual... perhaps a tweak still to be done...?? Also not sure..why I can't resolve LSB on 40m too good...
[Elecraft] More Rumours...
Way Ta Go Elecraft...!! Can't Wait ...to see these.. But... Will it be a kit for both amps... or will it be a stock built buy finished from Elecraft type of deal...??

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 ...Alignment Question 40M Onwards...
Guys... For the last few days, on an off..I have been attempting my first time ...ever...with the alignment of my (at the moment) basic CW K2... I have tried as far as I can see, to do the 40m Aligment proceedure from Page 57 onwards in my manual... I followed the linerization proceedure as per the manual for 40 meters... here's my FIRST question Question 1 ... ...Does the constructor ...have to do the linerization step that is carried out for 40M only (or so the manual states at that stage) ...for the rest of the bands installed..? In other words, do I need to do the linerization step for EACH of the bands.. Particularly when setting up the BFO and FILTER(s) on CW and CW/Reversed...? I did NOT do the linerization step for ANY of the other bands, only once per the manual for 40m ...where I did receive all the correct information on the rig's digital display... As for the BFO and FILTER Alignment, in the steps of the manual afterwards... I followed the instructions, pressing the relevent buttons when asked... and all that I did really there, was just make sure that the digital frequency display ...showed exactly what was in the manual at that stage...I did that for ALL the bands, ..adjusting only the VFO knob...to make sure my display read for each BFO and FILTER reading per band...what was in the manual... Question 2... ... WAS this the correct proceedure to do for the above part in the manual...did I get the steps correct... Yeah I KNOW it says so in the manual...but Hey Guy's this is the first time ever in my life, that I have done this sort of thing so as well as being unsure what to do, and unsure wether I have followed things correctly,..obviously I was airing on the side of caution as not to do any damage at this point in particular, that would need to be un-done by my elmer John Ross GM1BSG After doing all that I have mentioned I moved onto around Page 61 and proceeded to do the next part of the alignment stage, as far as I could anyway... I followed the proceedure regarding turning L34 with the tuning tool providedsetting the digital frequency display up as mentioned in my manual... I DID hear the generated tone at the bottom of 40m... SO..proceeded to do what the manual asked... and peak for MAXIMUM SIGNAL...and MINIMUM NOISE...on 40M ONLY... which I seemed to have achieved... At this point I have to point out that I was NOT hearing any stations on 40m while or during this aligment only the test tone The final part of my plea to y'all is this... Near the end of Page 61... the manual asks the constructor to peak or turn.L1 and L2 for peak signal strength... and use the K2's S-meter for this purpose to see when things are at their maximum peak... Question 3... In this step I have to report that I DID NOT..see much of a signal peak here at all... and also...that during ALL of the above story ... I WAS NOT..hearing ANY stations AT ALL on 40m..only noise...and the generated test tone... Question 4... IS THIS NORMAL..?? Or do I have a problem..?? My thoughts were that I should be hearing stations on 40m by now... atleast..?? Perhaps not... One last thing to mention...is that back in the manual... Just before putting the componants on the RF Board near the back left hand side of the board... I WAS getting my digital display to light up... After doing that part of the manual...and continuing to my present position... carrying on with the alignment section.. I can now report that for some reason I don't seem to be getting a light on the digital display anymore... Could this be mearly due to the wire jumpers that were installed a few pages back, by-passing the parts of the circuit to allow the display to light..?? Hopefully all of this stuff...is nothing to worry about ... We'll just have to wait n see.. Your thoughts are duely welcomed guy's...

[Elecraft] OT:The NJQRP Manhattan Homebrewing Starter Kit
Guy's... Apologies for the Off Topic request... I was just surfin' around...on the net a few moments ago and found myself on the American QRP Club website ...lookin' at all the past and present kits they have/had available... After the hopefully not so far away,..completion of my K2..I am hopein (...late as it always is in my case) to have a goat the Manhatten Style Construction thing.. I unfortunatley missed the run of the kits that were done to get folks startedon this way of construction dunno what I'll do there for parts etc ...will need to cross that bridge when I come to it... In the meantime...I was wondering if anyone on the list ..possibly has a copy either in electronic format...or one that theywould'nt mind scanning for me of the Manhatten-Style Homebrewing Guide that is talked about at the link below...?? http://www.njqrp.org/starterkit/index.html It seems to be quite comprehensive (says its 20 pages or so of info)...so as a starter point for myself ...I would'nt mind having a look at this... and perhaps later will re-post for any of the starter kits that folks may have lying around that they would like to part with..or cant see themselves gettin around to actually using in the near future... For the meantime...has anyone got any way of letting me have a copy of the guide (Manual thingy..!) on the website linke above..? Thanks guys...what a great bunch of boys... P.S.

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432...The Saga Continues...
Guy's... Here we are again...hours after my last post to the group...! Well.. would just like to say a BIG Thankyou to all of you who replied to my previous e-mail...regarding the screws n things, that seemed to be fitted in the wrong orientation,.. on my Baby K2 here... I took the advice on-board ...changed the screws around (..think it would be 180 degrees..!) and things in that department turned out fine...I managed to mate ALL 3 boards together, to continue with the alignment process from Page 57 onwards in the manual... Here's the story so far...! Have done all of the above...and was just about to go ahead and try the rest of the alignment, when I thought..wait a minute...the rig should turn on now..as before ..and if I don't hear anything... well...it SHOULD turn on though.. ..RIGHT..?? Well...unfortunatley for me... I can't seem to get her to turn on (...he says...smilin to himself...with a cough..!)...I've put all the relevant side panels, front panel etc onto the rig,..plugged the rig into my 30 AMP shack PSU as before... Pressed the ON Switch...waited for the EEPROM to do it's thing... NOTHIN..!!! No Display... No Rig Noise... No Frequency Display ... I CAN hear the relays click as I press the ON switchthere does'nt seem to be any burning smell or smoke emmitting from the rig at this time tried this several times ..with the same results... NOTHING..! On power up ...I've noticed heat emmitting from the rig...as if shes tryin'...and Q22 on the RF Board DOES..heat up..dunno if this is meant to happen...but could feel the heat coming off it from inside the rig...

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 Construction Update..
Guy's.. Just to let everyone who WILL see my e-mail on the reflector soon from this morning... To IGNORE...the plea for help...! Time has passed today, since posting that e-mail to the reflector... the day is nearing closure... ONCE AGAIN..! My well respected .Elecraft K2 Elmer ...John Ross GM1BSG.. saved the day...! On inspection of the rig (...a little closer than I had actually done while constructing her early this morning...) it was noticed, ...found... corrected... that I had INDEED...not mated the connector pins from one of the boards to the connector on the RF Board quite correctly...!! sigh..! blinks in disbelief..! Yes..! indeed...the whole episode of panic..was for no reason whatsoever... and this was the reason as to my baby not turning on and lighting up this morning..!! I can now say WITH convictions...! that I feel rather stupid...and small for overseasing this foresight..! With a fresh pair of eyes and a much better logical mind... John...actually noticed that this was indeed the problem... Without ALL 3 boards,...being mated together properly of course things will NOT function as they should..!! Here is one happy Elecrafter for sure... All that remains now is to go ahead and fine tune the section for letting her sing on 40m...! Thanks to everyone who has and who probably will still...see the earlier e-mail to the reflector... your comments are still welcome as they may help others...but I for one are well on the road to the final success and so far, barring this oversight on my partALL stages have went very smoothly and much better than first anticipated...

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432 Alignment And Test Part II Question...
Guy's.. I've just completed the above part on my K2 All tests seemed to go according to plan. Keepin' my fingers crossed...! SO..! Should Y'all for me ...!! My Question... On completing the test(s) up to an around Page 50 something in the manual... I proceeded to put my baby back together again in preperation for the next part in the manual... Only to find...that when I tried to mate the Front Panel board, with the Control Board...things, don't want to go back together as planned...! The problem I think ...is that now the RF Board is more populated with componants, and there is a tuning can in componant placement L34 on the RF BoardWHEN ..! I try to mate the Control Board onto the given connectors,the screws that hold the 2 transistors in position(s) U5 and U4 respectivley..protrude out too far from their nuts..thus inhating the placement of the Control Board onto the connectors on the RF Board... I (am) ...sorta sure that I got this part correct ..way back in the manual... and used the correct screws to hold the transistors on the Control Board as was statedbut for some reason I can't help but think that the screws used are either 1... Too Long (i.e not the correct ones to use)2... Orientated with their threads instead of their heads on the Control Board Can someone please point me in the correct direction of where I might have gone wrong... I've asked advice on this previously and understand what I was told... that was just to turn the screws around so that the heads lay on the transistors, from the componant side and protruded out the solder side of the Control Board... if this is the case, will I need to do any reverse stuff with the washers for each transistor...??

[Elecraft] K2 S/n 01432 Power Connector ??
Guy's... Just a quickie to make sure that I have this correct (or not as the case maybe..!) I am currently at the first stage of Power Up with my K2... page 41 in the manual... I have found what I think is the power connector...and also some black and red lead wire from my junk box... What I have done...is Connect the RED wire to the SMALL pin on the connector (as this seems to be the one going to the CENTRE pin)... and then the BLACK wire to the LONG pin on the connector that I have here... Is this the correct wiring for the Power Connector for the K2..?? Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...I Just See It.!.. John A. Ross (RSD Communications circa 2004) A.R.S.

[Elecraft] K2 S/n 01432 ..Side Panel Question..?
Guy's... I'm currenly stuck fast...on a problem deciphering exactly what the K2 Manual means as regard the orientation of the 2-D fastners to the side panels on page 37 .. I have removed (as far as I can see..!) all the green masking tape from the areas where it was stuck down to on the side panels (..on BOTH my side panels..this is 2 areas rectangular in shape..on the bottom (horizonatal plane) of each of the side panels)... there appears to be no other parts that are masked . On the drawing in the K2 Manual on page 37, the picture appears to show 3 areas of masking on each side panel... they are mirrored images of each other, with masking in the top left on the horizontal plane of one side paneland then on the top right on the horizontal plane of the other panel... Also there is indication that the side panels have also masking on the right hand side vertical plane...and also left hand side vertical plane... Thats if I am reading the drawing in the manual correctly..?? However MY panels do NOT have these areas masked at all..!! I only seem to have 2 areas on each side panel masked ...and BOTH are on the horizontal plane when mirrored against each other... This is where the problem I am having comes in... I cant seem to get my head around, which way to orientate the 2D fasteners onto the areas that I have which were previously masked as they dont match up with the drawings in my manual, as far as I can tell... At the moment I have 1 2D fastener on EACH unmasked area on EACH panel,the 2D fasteners are orientated vertically as apposed to the side panels being horizontal... I feel that this may be the wrong way to go... Can someone please advise me as to the correct proceedure for mounting these 2D fasteners to their respective side panels, so I may carry on with the next part in the manual...??

[Elecraft] RF Board Relays ..Help..!
Guy's... Getting on with the K2 RF Board here .going together much better than I antisipated...although I have workmen in the house here at the moment...fitting a new bathroom suite and layout... SO..! at times its hard to concentrate with all the noise... Just wanted to enquire... I am at the stage of the RF Board where one installs the relays onto the RF Board,I have located the 2 PACKETS of relays I got with my K2... What I would like to clarify is On one of the tubes of relays there is a white label with the words KAT2 Relaysand other the other tube there is NO label... As far as I can see...from the markings the relays are exactly the same in nature all ways...(perhaps not..!)... Does it matter which ones I use for the part in the RF Board that I am currently putting together..?? As for those wishing to follow my progress, slow as it has been over the last year, with one thing and another... I will post some photographs on my website as soon as the board is done...along with my thoughts on the processAll comments would be greatly welcome... Thanks again for the support throught this endeavour that I have undertaken Without you guy's the process would be MUCH more dawnting... Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...I Just See It.!.. John A.
