[Elecraft] K1, K2 and K3 sales/auctions not on eBay?

When I get home after being in the hospital and rehab mostly since mid-August, I need to thin the herd-and not only Elecraft items. I checked eBay for sales/auctions for these three transceivers, and came up empty. Maybe it’s the time of year. Maybe it’s the commissions? Of course, I would

Re: [Elecraft] Progressive Tuning Rate

I think it would be nice for a future firmware update to add a progressive tuning rate. I can imagine the simplest added root menu item: VFO PRG [Disable (or OFF)/Enable] (rather than complexifying the existing VFO CRS submenu). Adding more options would be possible for a VFO PRG menu item,

[Elecraft] [K3] Ballistic tuning and other feature musings

Seems like some requests for ballistic tuning have returned to the reflector after a long quiet spell. Ballistic tuning is what the JA radios do when you spin their VFO knob faster; it senses the rotation dynamic and increments the tuning differently until the rotation speed goes 'back' to a

Re: [Elecraft] Progressive Tuning Rate

I like the tuning rates on my K3S just as it is.   No changes requested.  And I have radios with variable tuning rates.  They are an annoyance in my usage. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 1/2/2018 6:23 PM, Merv Schweigert via Elecraft wrote: Set the parameters and use the rate button,  push go fast, push

[Elecraft] Elecraft K3s Power Supply SS30DV

If you desire a small lightweight power supply, the Powerwerx SS-30DV should be fine. There are some reports of noise on the EHAM reviews but also many 5 star ratings. I use the Powerwerx unit for contest expeditions and I have not noticed any RFI or other issues. John KK9A N1JM wrote: I need

Set the parameters and use the rate button,  push go fast, push go slow, you an set how fast or slow you wish to go. About the only thing I like about using my Drake R4C over my K3S is that I can cover a lot of band with a couple of twists of the Drake's tuning knob, at 25KHz per rotation.

Re: [Elecraft] Progressive Tuning Rate

If it ends up working anything like that 'feature' on the Yaesu FT-847, it will certainly not please me - and I will want a way to turn it off. I find nothing wrong with the tuning rate selection on the K3 or KX3/KX2 using the RATE button(s). In addition, you can set the VFO OFS so that the

About the only thing I like about using my Drake R4C over my K3S is that I can cover a lot of band with a couple of twists of the Drake's tuning knob, at 25KHz per rotation. However, it's tough to clarify SSB at that rate, though it's actually not too fast for CW for me. I'd love to see the

Re: [Elecraft] Progressive Tuning Rate

I actually thought all radios had this feature. When I first got my KX2, i kept turning the knob faster and faster looking to see if it would kick in, and was kind of disappointed when it didn’t. So I would like to see it added to the KX2 and KX3. Ralph AA5YC > On Jan 2, 2018, at 1:51 PM,

Thanks everyone for the responses. Also found a post from a few years back that talked about this too (from Don I think referencing Wayne). Puts my mind to rest. I was worried that I may have messed up my assembly, but it turns out that this thing is so sensitive that it can hear/interfere with

My Lowe HF-150 receiver (1991) has it. By now, I think we’ve established that the feature is not protected by a patent, since it is implemented in so many radios. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jan 2, 2018, at 10:43 AM, Fred Jensen

Hi, Icom has had that for a long time even for their low end rigs such as the IC-718. This has been suggested here a while ago for Elecraft to consider. As far as I know the idea was rejected. I liked it on my Icom rigs, but some people truly hate it. Nowadays many people, including myself, use

Jim, The K144XV is natively a single antenna port transceiver. But if you need separate TX and RX antenna connections for your transverter, note that there is a jumper setting that can apply +5V on the output coax during transmit - see page 21 of the K144XV instructions. You should be able to

I have the Astron SS30M which I find to be electrically quiet, excellent regulation.  The fan does cycle on and off from time to time and that is noticeable.    I power 3 radios, not at the same time, from this supply.   Originally it has the Pos and Neg connections where you insert the wire

My SS30DV has worked flawlessly for about 6 years on a variety of rigs and other uses. Contrary to the lack of such info, the actual voltage IS ADJUSTABLE with a small potentiometer inside the unit. However, there is a flaw in the unit. I use it at a condo on a beach of the Atlantic Ocean in Cocoa

The strongest hash moves up and down 8the 80 meter band.. But my main objection is that it shuts down the KX3 at turn-on. I use it with the PowerWerx PG40S and a 12 volt battery. Whenever I forget to turn on the SS30 first, I have to repower the KX3 and then use the menu to switch the power
