Good Evening,
I am sitting in a warm house tonight. I collected the scraps from
around the woodshed to build a fire. I thought 55 degrees at my desk was
a bit too chilly. One of these days the wind will shift from the Gulf of
Alaska to its other path from near Hawaii and we will be
Except that, having a car isn't as required in the UK as in the US,
and I don't think you have average ppl in the UK doing 20K miles a

And, car insurance in the US is generally $100 a month and up, not
sure what it is in
Seems to me most computers today are USB as a standard...
I've put up with that stupid RS232 (standard???) for many more years than I
care to think.

both hardware and software functionality.

Hi, I have an un-opened K1-2 Serial 95 with 80/40mtr that I would

Thanks to all that helped me with this issue...
My final solution was to add a #6 lock washer (this was almost enough) then
to carefully disk the end of the knerled Bolt (the group seems to call it aq
screw) with a drummel..
Dah Dah it is fixed...
Thank you all agian

Just curious if anyone who has installed the K6XX SMD zero-beat board in their
KX-1 has noted or even noticed how much it reduces the battery life? It would
seem to me that if it is flashing all the time as you tune around and QSO that
it would have a significant effect...

Someone I know has several items from a stay in Hong
Kong wired for 220. One is a Hakko Soldering station,
the other is an Icom Power Supply. I don't have the
model numbers.
Can they be rewired internally for 110 service? I
suspect the Icom can, if it's anything like Yaesu
supplies.
Thanks in
Ken,
I am guessing, but my understanding is that to fasten a screw, you turn
the screw; to fasten a bolt, you turn the nut (not the bolt)... at
least, that is how I differentiate between the two, rather than on what
kind of hear they have.
Depending on where the washer is located, it may or
I have one in my KX1 and it's the best accessory.
I operate all the time from an external 10-cell NiMH pack, and I haven't
noticed any difference whatsoever.
You only see very brief flashes while tuning around. When you've got a signal
zeroed in it's flashing with the signal, but if you

What about lag bolts?

In general that's a misnomer. They're correctly and commonly called lag

are a large wood screw. Like so many things in the English language, there

deeper.
Technically Elecraft could develop a set of USB based rig control semantics
that allowed end user
programs (loggers or just simple rig controllers) to use the Windows native HID

K2 #5514 is alive and well. After having wonderful experiences with the K1
over the past several years, I finally had the opportunity to devote nearly
every minute of the past 6 days to building the K2 (basic QRP-CW). The rig
went together nicely, passed every test, and worked flawlessly when

Probably not true.
Most small-volume projects I've seen just use the FTDI USB to serial
interface. Basically it moves the USB-to-serial interface into the
project.
Not real sure if it's hard to use, but check out the WinKey USB to see
an example. I also have a PIC programmer that uses the same chip. The

Actually, I'm working on a USB interface for the K2. My prototype worked
quite well. It only received but what I saw on the waterfall looked good.
The part of the design I was most concerned about (USB) worked well. It's a
compound USB device - hub with soundcard and serial port. I'm in the

Hi all, first post to the reflector. Don't have any Elecraft gear... yet! First
piece I'm considering is the XV50 transverter, and I'm wondering if the power

More of a compromise than a standard. Laziness, cheapness,
whatever. Why did they try to fix what wasn't broken?

It seems to me the glaring error with Elecraft's serial port
implementation is the ability to blow the I/O card out of the water

have designed it so you could use an off the shelf serial cable.
Way too much damage exposure.
