For all interested, you might want to read the relevant article on my website www.w3fpr.com. It was written directed at QRP ops, but applies to QRO operations as well. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/29/2019 7:56 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: Bill: Glad to see you post this fact.   Hams have had it

Likewise when we lived in a condo in Pompano Beach, FL.  I had a 75M loop around the parapet wall on the roof.   And I managed to get on the board and got permission.   After all one of the starch objectors wanted something for him self.  Thus a "quid pro quo" was arranged.   Funny how that

Bill: Glad to see you post this fact.   Hams have had it wrong and doing it wrong for years, because someone said so.    Many hams seem to have less than zero knowledge on the topic.    Oh, less than zero knowledge is knowledge that is not correct. Same is true when one uses 450 ohm line,

[Elecraft] WTB: CNC VFO knobs with bearing dimple

2019-10-29 Thread Gary Smith
I really like these knobs, they work well for me, work well for other folks?, maybe not so much. Regardless I'd like another CNC metal VFO A knob made for the K3, with bearing dimple. If you have one you don't use/like, please contact me directly. 73, Gary KA1J

Just purchase the correct cables from Elecraft.  This approach works 100% of the time. Go cheap, dig out your own or roll your own.  Then trouble shoot the issues.   How much money and time was saved? For a few dollars saved, it isn't worth it. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 10/27/2019 4:51 PM, Gmail

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / KPA500 band switching oddity

2019-10-29 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX
I change bands from the computer running WSJT-X.   The K3S follows, the KPA500 follows and the KAT500 follows.  All seems good to me.  I do have the KPA500 go to STBY on band change.  This is a user menu item. I don't push buttons on the KPA500 to change bands. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 10/27/2019

One of the really great things about ham radio is that each person can find their own place in the hobby. However, I did get a good illustration of why so many people are using the digital modes, particularly the FTx modes. I operated in CW WW SSB over the weekend from New Hampshire. I

It is fine in Canada, but I doubt that Elecraft can solve this since it is likely an European hosting issue and it is done by a 3rd party. Mike va3mw On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 8:57 AM Graziano Roccon (IW2NOY) < grazi...@roccon.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Eleracft site : https://elecraft.com is down,

I am surrounded by hams in my suburban neighborhood, one new ham two blocks away who is S9+20db when he runs qrp.  I pray he doesn't learn cw. My question is, what model of K4 will supply the same blocking dynamic range equal to or better than the K3S?  The K4HD?  I need RF protection!  Every
