Sorry, that simply is not true. You don't understand how these Metcal,
newer Hakko (and other) irons work. Our production facility produces
thousands of through-hole boards per month. After testing the newer
soldering stations we immediately started replacing conventional Weller

Yes, that's the SWR measured with the ATU in bypass. That's the first
setting we try in a "full search tune".

Bypass VSWR
The VSWR measured when the ATU was last in "bypass", an estimate of the
antenna's "untuned" VSWR without any ATU inductors

My KAT500 utility program shows the tuned VSWR, generally a low number, and it
also shows "Bypass SWR". Is that a reading of the feed line SWR without the
tuner in the circuit?

William,
If you arrange your transverters like the 28MHz input/output is like
that in the XV series transverters - i.e. there is a relay that opens
the connection to those IF connections when power is off - and
importantly, you assure that no two transverters are on at the same
time, then
Hi Joel,
It sounds like you might be confusing the Rx null for the KX3 with the
opposite side band nulling for the PX3. (easy since they both are
'nulling') . If you are interested in removing opposite side bands from the
display of the PX3, follow the PX3 OSB nulling procedures as noted in
Dear fellow Elecraft users,
I have build a 70 Mhz transverter, i have read the K3 manual about how to
connect a transverter.
I have in my K3 the build in 2 meter transverter, and i do understand that the
144 Mhz transverter, also uses 28-30 Mhz.
What is the best way to solve this,
I have
I've built 2 K2's; it's not too hard to build but there are difficult spots:
- grounding the crystal cans (save the anti-static pads that the IC's ship
on!).
- installing/soldering the LCD to the front panel board (issue with spacers)
- installing/soldering L33
- clearance issue between L33 and
Hello,
while waiting for the Kx2 another question for the intended use:
When not using the Kx2 on a mountain, I wanted to use the Kx2 as a second
receiver for a kind of "diversity" reception with a second antenna. (I know
a K3 with 2. RX would be better ...)
Is there a way to control at least a
That "rule" still applies - if less than 2 seconds, reduce the iron
temperature, if longer than 3 seconds, increase it.
A lot will depend on the size and heat mass of the soldering tip more so
than the recovery time of the iron. A quick recovery is fine, but is
not the whole story.

I have two K2's. I didn't build either of them. One I bought off ebay 10
years ago (SN 567). The other I bought two years ago off this list
(SN6911). Since I wanted something I didn't have to build, I could have
bought ANY of the major brands. The K2 was a clear choice for me. Both

I would respectfully disagree with this advice. It is dependent on the
type of iron you're using. The Hakko FX-951 behaves quite different from
the traditional temperature controlled stations. It has very fast
thermal recovery, so typical through hole pads will flow in much less
than 3
Mike,
If you have only limited experience soldering, check out the Soldering
Tutorial on the Elecraft website. Most problems are caused by poor
soldering, followed by poorly stripped and tinned toroid leads, and that
followed by misplaced components.

The elecraft.com website indicates they should start shipping 6/15.
I hope I get mine before field day.

Get a good set of wire cutters. It’s also handy to have some sort of
magnification/lighting — a desk lamp with a magnifying glass built in, or a
jeweller’s magnifying this on your head. A good solder sucker just in case.
Just take your time, do a full inventory at the start (can be quite

A K2 kit is on it's way. Although I do have some experience soldering, it
has been 30+ years and I am open to any suggestions as to equipment
needed. I have a Hakko FS-951 soldering station. I have seen various
mechanisms
for holding the circuit boards while working on them. Any other
