Hmmm ... There have been many cammo patterns over the years.  Our CJU's in SE Asia [long ago] were black and several shades of gray in what I think was called "Woodland something" pattern.  It also came in more woodland-ish colors [greens et al].  There was a period not too long ago when they

Re: [Elecraft] Cammo KX2? (Was: Copy cat - no way)

I would like a light color where the dark printed labels have high contrast so they can be read in low light. I have the problem with my shack K3. I often try to operate it without turning on the lights, and always have a problem reading the labels. At least now I know where most of the are by

As "fallout" from Rose's case and cover efforts we find that cammo fabric is copyrighted. This from her main fabric supplier. Don't know if this applies to paint finish or not. FWIW 73 Ken On Tue, Sep 3, 2019, 19:27 Wayne Burdick wrote: > > > Mike Morrow wrote: > > > > ... [a]

Re: [Elecraft] Copy cat - no way

I noticed that the IC-705 drawing shows an ATU connector presumably for linking to an external ATU. Maybe the intended market is not SOTA, portable, Field Day, or anything outdoors. Perhaps a paddle is in the accessories we have not seen yet. Bob R – N7WY

Mike, Have you tried moving the knob above the PITCH button? The manual assumes you have read and followed the similar adjustments that are mentioned prior to the PITCH adjustment. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/3/2019 5:34 PM, Mike Maloney wrote: I recently inherited a KX3.  I can see what CW pitch

I recently inherited a KX3.  I can see what CW pitch setting is (550), BUT not been able to change it (to 500) with VFO A or B.  "Set sidetone pitch"  on page 16 of manual does not say how to CHANGE it?  What's the trick? 73, Mike AC5P

Would like to set up a portable solar power config for the KX-2. This would be backpacking portable or portable solar panels, especially after disasters/hurricanes around here (NC/SC). Would be using an external NiMH or something suitable, not Lithium, as I understand Lithium is very difficult
