Re: [Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

Honestly VFO A is perfect with the neoprene ring, but VFO B is a just a tad too small and needs a neoprene ring too, IMHO.  For my taste, a neoprene ring for VFO B would solve the size issue.  But then, I am just a user of the product.   :-) 73, Bob/AA6VB From: Wayne Burdick

Re: [Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

Bill, I fear if detented encoders would be used, there would be many who would complain about the lack of analog control between the encoder steps. I for one prefer the non-detented controls. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/18/2017 2:59 PM, Bill Frantz wrote: I am quite happy with the knobs that

Re: [Elecraft] K2 on 60m (K60XV)

Heinz, Not true - the bandpass filters are extended when the K60XV option is added. Note that there are two trimmer capacitors on the K60XV board for exactly that purpose. These additional capacitors are switched in so the bandpass filter can be peaked on 60 meters. The cutoff for the 40

[Elecraft] K2 on 60m (K60XV)

Based on the fact that the K2 has 5 BPF and LPF only to cover 9 bands I wonder 1) if/to what extent the RX performance on the existing bands is influenced by the addition of the 60m band (K60XV)? 2) what RX performance can be expected on 60m (compared to the K2 standard bands)? 73, Heinz

Re: [Elecraft] Source for K3 weighted knobs

I am quite happy with the knobs that Elecraft supplies, although I might like a ball bearing dimple. Given that most of the adjustments are digital in nature, what I would really like is tactile feedback whenever the radio moves to the next step, like I have on the heater controls in my car,

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Receive problem!?

Paul, First thing to check is to make sure the preamp is on, and the attenuator turned off. Both are selected using the PRE switch. The KX2 is an SDR, and typically such rigs have about -120 dBm MDS with preamp off, and -135 dBm with preamp on. This can make a huge difference on a quiet band.

[Elecraft] KX2 Receive problem!?

I have a KX2 nr 855 I bought in August.This is my first venture in in a sophisticated radio. I have been operating kit built rigs for years. My KX2 has the latest firmware MCU revision 02.69. The receive seems to be down quite a bit. My antennas are a 102 ft doublet at 50 ft and a Zepp at 50

Thank all for the info on the knobs. I have ordered the Neogrip to give them a try first. W0MU On 1/17/2017 3:53 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: For those who have the K3 and want to upgrade the knob, the only thing you need to order is the Neoprene Soft Grip Ring - p/n NEOGRIP The underlying

Re: [Elecraft] WSJT-X Problem with K3S

In MSK144 the T/R periods for meteor scatter are normally 15 seconds on 50 MHz, so it is important for all stations to have their clocks as accurate as they can, within half a second will do, but the closer the better. Just to explain further, on meteorscatter it is possible for many stations
