Re: [Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

I've never tried the RS60CF but I can say the Bose QC15 are the only headphones I choose to use in a long contest. I have a pair of Heil Headsets my father owned and wearing them for an hour is uncomfortable. The QC-15? I wear them day and night without discomfort. 73, Gary KA1J > You can

Re: [Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

I spent years, lots of effort, and lots of money trying to mitigate amplifier fan noise. Many kinds of noise cancelling headphones failed, including one aircraft type. I even tried putting an early NC headset inside of a pair of earmuff type ear protectors.  I built a cabinet to enclose the

There's been plenty of action on SSB and CW today. I made multiple contacts on both modes, including a nice 10-minute chat with a station 1,000 miles away. I'm using only a dipole on my end. The beauty of CW and SSB is that you don't need one of those "computer" thingies. Just turn on the rig

[Elecraft] Tip for those watching 6 m band openings: channel hopping

If you're into 6 meter SSB, you may want to take advantage of the semi-channelezation that occurs in this band segment. While operators generally start at 50.125, they quickly spread up the band in 5 kHz increments when there's a lot of activity, like today. The K3 and K3S can hop among a

Re: [Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

You can get a pair of factory-refurbished Bose QC-15s for a reasonable price online. Worth their weight in gold, absolutely. I take them on every flight and I can get peace and quiet even with the inevitable squalling brats all around me. I've also got the RS60CF and wouldn't dream of

Bose is pretty well the leader in electronic noise cancellation. But they are also expensive (even more than Sony). Worth their weight in GOLD on an airplane. (I still use my ancient original model 1.0 Bose when I fly — yes they’re clunky compared to the latest, and I had to replace the ear

Thanks, Don. I know the question was almost impossibly naive. I backtracked through the instructions, and found no mention of which position the switch should be in. This omission, and the fact that S1 mentioned in the manual has now become the 12V jumper, were the only two steps that gave me
