Re: [Elecraft] Do not sign /QRP

Sadly Dan, both /KX2 and /KX3... and /K3, /K2,/KX1, /KPA, KAT ... are all non-compliant for US hams. All the K's belong to the US as ITU-assigned prefixes./KM6is as well, although Elecraft hasn't made one of those yet, however they are all valid US prefixes, and thus ineligible for

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 added to Sherwood's list

Just a couple weeks ago I took my KX2 out to a local park during my lunch break and made a contact using it as a HT, using the MFJ-1820T and a 12' counterpoise. From setting it up and makinge a quick 20m SSB contact took me all of about 3 minutes. Yeah, it's not the preferred technique, but it

Yep thats right do not sign /QRP. Sign /KX2 or /KX3. This way an experienced operator will know immediately that you are no fool and that this is a Q worth pursuing. 73, Dan KM6CQ -- Sent from my iPhone 7 Plus __ Elecraft mailing list

Yes, and I have used a whip for pedestrian with success. A 20 meter Maldol works on that band and my favorite 17 meters. Just need better band condx. But that is our hobby, dependent on conditions. Run 1500 watts in poor condx with super antennas, same result, NADA! 72 & 73, Bill K9YEQ,

[Elecraft] KPA500 dead?

It appears that my KPA500 has failed. It has a permanent "PA DISS" on all bands. Just before that fault it smelt like wire insulation was burning (no smoke). It has this condition on 160 - 6m. The fans seem to be running fine and the PA temp was 50C. I've run the KPA500 on JT65/MSK144/FT8 for over

Re: [Elecraft] Query, KPA500 Remote Opns

KPA500 Remote does not require a VPN. In Client/Server mode, you run an instance on a computer near the KPA500 and tell it "Start Hosting Remote." It connects to the KPA500 via a COM port or USB-Serial connection. You connect to it from an instance running at the control site and tell it to

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Upgrade Path to Satellite Work.

Hi Jeff. It would be a lot cheaper, better, and easier then with your K3 to do full duplex with two cheaper radios. Look at the SDR setups guys are now using on the sats. Get something like an Icom 7200, 7000, 706, or any other HF,2m,70cm multi band and mode radio and use the SDR for RX. This

Re: [Elecraft] Query, KPA500 Remote Opns

There are multiple ways to do this, some more complicated than others. One way is to run the KPA500 Control/Display program on a local PC and then log into it with a remote control package such as Teamviewer. And, that's only one of many. 73, Fred ("Skip") K6DGW Sparks NV USA Washoe County

Re: [Elecraft] Query, KPA500 Remote Opns

The bottom line is that you have to have some form of PC/device at the amplifier to get the status data to your location. It must contain a serial (via USB acceptable) port to communicate with the KPA500. You can use an older computer (or you could add a Raspberry Pi 3 for cheap, WiFi

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Upgrade Path to Satellite Work.

Sorry, but the K3 (or K3S) cannot do full duplex. The only internal transverter is the K144XV. Elecraft does have the XV series external transverters for 50, 144, 222, and 432 MHz. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/28/2017 4:04 PM, W7BRS Jeff Wandling wrote: Years ago, I used to own a IC-910h. For some

Hi Jack I do use my 6300 with the KPA500 and have done so for over 2 years. The way I do it is with a local pc at the remote. The other way for you would be to install a serial to ip converted at your remote and then run the KPA500 software at home. In the configuration of the Serial To IP

Re: [Elecraft] Query, KPA500 Remote Opns

This will require some knowledge of vpn and/or port forwarding to handle remotely. The new flex remote software does not use VPN and dynamically configures UPNP enabled routers, thus there will be a bit of additional tweaking and knowledge needed to accomplish this. ~Chris N6WM

I notice that the KX2's narrow dynamic range is tested at a 3 kHz bandwidth. Other radios on Sherwood's list are measured at either 2, 3 and 5 kHz. Doesn't this make direct comparison between various radios (and list order - since they are listed by dynamic range order) invalid? John AE5X
