Re: [Elecraft] March 2018 Newsletter

I used my K2 as a VFO for a Drake 2NT boat anchor transmitter for quite awhile. Worked great while I worked on a real one that fit the character of boat anchors better--the K2 version was lacking sufficient drift and chirp to be convincing. I modified a Siltronix (Swan) CB VFO to fit the bill.

Re: [Elecraft] Mic Bias

Harv, If you have the Rear Panel bias set on, and the Front Panel bias set on, all you have to do is change MIC SEL fron the front panel to the rear panel. In other words, no problem. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/15/2018 9:33 PM, Bob Harvey - K2PI wrote: When using a rear panel headset requiring

[Elecraft] Mic Bias

When using a rear panel headset requiring Bias, what is the state of Bias on the Front Panel mic connector? I have a PR-781 Microphone that doesn't require bias, and have it disconnected from the front panel when using the rear bias'd mic and the RP bias setting in the menu. Do I need to do

Re: [Elecraft] Static Discharge Through K-Pod

There has been very low humidity this week, and I have had some shocks at home. When we got lots of static discharge shocks after walking on my mother-in-law's carpet, I put some 1 Meg Ohm resistors under the light switch cover screw for her to touch in the winter before the switch. Silly idea

I am not sure how many of you have noticed the warnings in the K3s and P3 manual to NOT plug a USB B connector into the 8P8C modular jack lableled “RS232/P3” on the rear of the K3s. This is a VERY important warning but only if you read it prior to inserting the USB cable (twice) into the

The real issue here is the lack of household humidity. A humidifier is probably in the real fix. Several hours of a near-boiling pan of water on the kitchen stove would likely be enlightening. Or, get a "real' anti-static (desk size) work mat with wrist strap. I have one permanently atop my
