Re: [Elecraft] OT: The 4-track mind
My father worked with a guy in the Army (57-60 era) that was a CW operator. He copied code groups with split headphones, his left ear on a typewriter, right ear written down, speaker in front of him he remembered until a pause in one of the other messages and copied it down. He did have to be locked up a few times per year.

Re: [Elecraft] Parts availability
Just in time works fine when you also have emergency stocks. Too many companies cut costs by not maintaining emergency stock and lack of multiple sources.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Fires
Years of mismanagement contribute to the fires. Forest Service and states have not culled dead trees, allow logging, and not done controlled burns to reduce the fuel.

[Elecraft] K2 VFO/ALC issues
I recently bought a used K2/10 and the S-Meter does not work. I am looking at the K2 VFO/ALC mod and have a question about the 1N4148s that are added to Q18. This one has a 1N4148 installed on the bottom of the board anode to cathode across D13, and no diode from Q18-S to ground. Was the additional diode part of another mod? Seems to me that it would defeat the purpose of D13.

[Elecraft] Hearing aids
My Dad has Phonak hearing aids and has the iCOM TVLink. http://www.phonak.com/com/b2c/en/products/accessories/communication/icom/overview.html He wears a module around his neck, and the base unit plugs in to the TV audio, or his ham radio. Pipes the audio directly in to the hearing aids via bluetooth. Works very well. The bluetooth devices available on ebay and similar are designed for the most part to support wireless headphones, etc, and don't work with the Phonak, at least the few I tested. There are several bluetooth profiles, and they do different things.

[Elecraft] K3 and PSK
I am trying to set up my computer, etc to use HRD, DM780, and my K3. I can tune around and receive and decode psk and rtty just fine with DM780, but when I go to send, it goes in to transmit but has no power out.

I do not normally have Monitor on while operating. May I suggest another toggle feature whereby the Monitor output can be directed to phones/speakers, line out or both? Another alternative would be to have a separate line out level for RX and TX audio and leave the Monitor function out of this.

I have connected everthing as follows: K2/100MFJ-993 Tuner in bypass to only show power in and SWR on input circuit of amp, SB-200LP-100 wattmeter1KW dummy load. When I would advance power output from about 10W or so to 70-90W output in to amp, when I take the K2 out of tune mode, and re-enter, the power would be 20W or so until I moved the Power knob a bit, then it would go back to the 70-90W requested. The K2 and the amp are about a foot apart, but the cover is off the amp, since I was doing some input circuit adjustments. Maybe I am getting RF back in to the K2?

RE: [Elecraft] Interesting Stuff At Dayton
What I am in the process of doing is putting together the Softrock receiver, and lashing it up to a micro ITX formfactor PC. They are very small, and have the ability to use a 12V DC power input. Do a search on car computers, and there is a ton of stuff there. Mate it with an old LCD monitor that is small, or they make 6-8 inch monitors that are expensive. With this arrangement, the scope would be about the Size of any other kind of scope, and could still be used as a shack PC for rig control, logging, etc. Mike AI4NS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of G4ILO Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 3:40 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Interesting Stuff At Dayton David Yarnes wrote: Hi All, Something that I saw at Dayton may be of interest to Elecraft owners--particularly K3, and possibly K2 folks. Jay Bromley and I visited with Larry Phipps at his booth for a while. Larry has several very innovative items that he sells, including probably the most unique wattmeter/SWR meter you can find anywhere (the LP-100A). What caught our attention was Larry's new panadapter for the K3. He's contemplating doing one for the K2 as well. Anyway, this new gadget (I hope I don't offend Larry by calling it a gadget) is very impressive. You should really go to his website to get the full details, but believe me, it is really a slick piece of engineering. I'm not fully familiar with the Icom bandscope on it's higher end rigs, but I think this product from Larry will rival or exceed what you find there. Additionally, it really constitutes a 2nd receiver, which opens up all sorts of possibilities. For example, maybe if you get this accessory you really don't get enough more with the Elecraft 2nd RX Can't really say that for sure, but it's pretty clear that Larry has something that might give one pause as to whether or not they need something over and above that. Anyway, the demo Larry gave us was most impressive. I suggest you keep one eye on his website for more details. In any event, the panadapter is fairly reasonable, and is available in either kit form or fully assembled. Larry says building it is not very difficult or time consuming. By all means, check all of this out. It appears to me that it would be a second receiver only with the aid of a PC, sound card and SDR software. What I would like to see is an external bandscope that does not require a computer. Either it would be completely self contained, or it would use an inexpensive portable LCD TV for its display. Perhaps Elecraft will come up with something like this in the future? - Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Interesting-Stuff-At-Dayton-tp17308788p17313629.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3: power calibration
I haven't seen too much info here on the calibration done on the Bird meters. Just because it says Bird, does not make it accurate. Like any other test equipment, It must be calibrated periodically. Have all the meters referenced been calibrated by a Known standard? If not, results are suspect...

[Elecraft] Softrock, panadapters, etc
How do the softrock receivers work with the K2 IF? The IF is above the ham bands, so how does this work? I have a K2, and a TS-180 with a 8892kHz IF output, and would like to explore the panadapter/bandscope idea. I also have a K3 on order as well.

[Elecraft] K3
I just ordered a K3/10 and a 1kHz 8 pole filter. I do both SSB and CW, more CW than SSB, and would like to experiment with digital modes, etc. Did I make a good choice, or what?

[Elecraft] K2 reviews on eham
I agree. Most of the reviews are from SSB operators, and the complaints on filters are probably because they are not adjusted correctly. The problems listed are alignment issues. I use my K2 with a Heil HM-5, and get great audio reports with the standard SSB bandwidth.

[Elecraft] K2 as mobile
How are K2's as mobile rigs? I am considering putting one in a car with a High Sierra antenna.

RE: [Elecraft] New Orders
The thing people forget is that YaeComWood, TenTec, etc have much deeper pockets and more resources. Borrowing a few million for them is no big deal, but a substantial risk for a company of Elecraft's size. If a product does not do well, there is less impact on the bottom line. The other companies also have many more models to spread the pain over, as well as other divisions that can contribute resources to development. You don't generally hear about a product too much until it is ready to launch, and units are already built and often on the way to dealers. You also get them with all the warts that were deemed not worth fixing right away, as the early adopters can beta test. (Just a generalization, not aimed at any specific company) Sure there have been manufacturing problems, etc. Since they don't own the plant, but have to contract it out, a lot of control is lost. Elecraft's high standards are not easy to meet, causing further delays. If I had the money in May or any time after, I would have gladly paid a deposit and waited. (I know, easy for me to say) I seriously considered liquidating my equipment to do that very thing, but did not. In hind sight, I should have, since I have been too busy to do any serious operating anyway. I would now have a K3...

[Elecraft] Woodpecker, etc
The Soviet aircraft had both solid state and tube radios and other navigation equipment. The tubes were used both as a backup, and for EMP protection after a nuclear attack. Our solid state equipment of the day would likely have seized up. Good thinking on their part.

RE: [Elecraft] max power suggested on PSK with K2/100
25W. There has been several discussions this week about PSK output. Since it is a keydown mode PSK can be thought of as AM mode as far as power ratings, and so 1/4 of your rated output should be the max.
