Re: [Elecraft] K3: reverse 12 volt supply

Black and white.. the ultimate in color contrast. White is neutral or no color so what's left? Black. Yes green sorta make sense when the grass is green but what about Winter when it is brown? No wonder I've been confused all my life. 73 Bob, K4TAX K3S s/n 10,163 On 9/15/2015 8:20

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

Humphi just completed a nice desk in the motor home. Why was I not informed that it needed to be wider to allow for a new external speaker? Pretty ordinary communication from Elecraft I reckon. I should have been given a heads up. Sigh. Gary -Original Message- From: "David

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

Sorry that you were not previously informed. For the record, Elecraft will be announcing something new in the future that will impact the space required for your station. The size may vary from one inch wide to 19 inches (rack mount), and will vary in height from one inch to 24 inches. Now

Hi, Just making the point that as things are added, you will need more space... I once built a tight cabinet like that, and within a year, it was too small... -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see;

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

Johnny, Are you sure that's not a knock off at that price? With the yen devalued, hovering around 120:1(USD), I would think it would be more expensive in Japan than what it sells for in the US. I've been to Akihabara many times, and I would tend to question its authenticity. I'll be back there

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

I’d challenge anyone to make a perfect clone of the SP3 speaker, and do it for less. Sure, a offshore company might be able to make a close copy and sell for less, but that is likely due to the abysmal compensation paid to many workers there. If you were to build an SP3 yourself, it’s not

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

Following up on Jim w6aim's comment, a friend of mine used to design cell phones was amazed at marketing people. She says the difference in memory options, e.g., 16/32/64 GB, had an actual cost difference of US$1. But the marketing group turned it into $100 difference - and people pay. She
