Hmmm - the Mic plug on the Elecraft ProSet-K2 is mono.
There is not 'Stereo' warning below the mic socket on the reap panel.
Didn't I read that the socket was designed this way, so that a mono plug can
be plugged in safely? I assume if you plug in a mono plug, the unconnected

To be safe you should use a stereo plug. But in actual practice a mono will
work too. I have to admit...When building my Microham cable
for the K3 I jumped the gun and used a mono plug and it works fine.

I had a little time to spare today so looked at my K3 TX audio.
Setup:-

Power 10W into dummy load.
Heil Pro Plus selected to the HC5 element.
Front Panel mic input High.
Tektronix 475 Oscilloscope with X10 probe connected to dummy load.
I found it necessary to set CMP to at least 5

I am wondering what the groups opinions are about the best end fed antenna
lengths would be for taking my newly built KX1 mobile?
For 40, 30, and 20 meters, I use a 42-foot wire with a large nut on the end.
The wire is thrown over a tree branch. A Pomona BNC-to-Bindng Posts adaptor

I think everything is pushed back at least a month. O ordered mine in
mid-December, and the website siad it was slated for March. I just asked Lisa
at Elecraft, and she said it had been pushed back to April, so what I take from
that is whatever the website says, add at least a month to
For those who are interested, here is more info on what I did:

input of the KPA. I used a 300 Ohm 2W resistor leftover from the KPA upgrade
kit :)

Fellow Crafters,
When I initiated the use of the term Mojo as expressed by Elecraft radios way
back many years ago, I did not realize what an accurate term it would become.

Oooh, Andy,
What a question. Little do you know, that very topic has caused untold
strife and fighting on the list.
I believe the answer to your question is no, as in no, nobody can
predict how long it will be before your rig is delivered. The great
folks at Elecraft excel at radio engineering
Hi Everyone,
Like Christmas it finally arrived!
Serial #371 arrived here yesterday and inventory is just about finished.
Ordered May 15th with no deposit.
Let me say if the radio comes close to the quality of the packaging then
this will be one fine rig.
Exquisite packing.
Thanks to Maria

I was just told by Lisa, that K3 # 423 and 424 belong to me, for my SO2R
set-up.
Order was made on 21 May 2007.
Although they were ready to be shipped in a week, the K3's will wait at
Elecraft's QTH until the KRX3 second receiver is ready (Hopefully April)
Both will be factory assembled.

Hi Eric,
First, welcome to the list. You will certainly find a wealth of knowledge

I have done exactly what you are asking and have loved this configuration.
The only difference is that I put the KPA100 amp and KAT100 ATU in a
separate EC2 enclosure.

While waiting for the bugs to be worked out of the K3, I ordered
a K1 for 80 and 40 meters. The 80 meter parts are backordered

Is it not possable to get a 4 band one with 80,40,20,and 15
meters on it?
If not, what is the reason?
