[Elecraft] FT8 + AX1 in the field?

I've been meaning to try pairing the KX2 and AX1 with a notebook computer to try FT8 from the field. But hiking is all but out of the question right now in northern California due to the fires. Anyone try FT8 on their AX1 whip yet? 73, Wayne N6KR

Seems about right. My K3 arrived in Watsonville on Oct 1, and was shipped back exactly 30 days later. That said, it was the first time my nearly 10-year-old K3 had been back to the factory and the first actual problem of any kind I’d had with it. At the same time, they installed the front

The biggest repair queue delay we get this time of year is when we receive an unexpected block of lightning damaged radios.  That usually adds a couple of weeks to the repair queue.  (We can easily determine where the lightning activity is around the country from the return addresses..) Don't

The current stated turnaround time for Elecraft repairs is 3 to 4 weeks. Given the staff techs with experience, that is the best that they can do. Oh, yes, "hire more techs" can be said, but that takes time away from those techs now working on repairs for training of new people, so initially

Tom, I was told that. All I can say is that there is no delay from the K3S when I transmit on WSJT-X. I increased the delay to .3 seconds under ADVANCED in WSJT-X settings and the problem is solved. 73, John WA!EAZ > On Nov 13, 2018, at 11:12 PM, Tom wrote: > > Hi, > WSJT-X does not
