I'm not overly anxious about the K4 initial release date because I'll be
waiting for the kit version. But in choosing between a K4 and K4D I'm
wondering how much performance difference there is in NB/NR for the two
models. It could be significant, no?

I think we need to be focusing on the personal aspect of one on one
communications with someone who we have never met - without the need for
the internet, Facebook or any other internet app.
It is a thrill to me to be able to have a conversation with someone new

That may be normal behavior, the power will drop to 5 watts if either
low voltage occurs or if a high PA temperature condition occurs.
If you are operating digital modes, I suspect that the high PA
temperature is causing the drop in power.
Check the BAT MIN setting in the KX2 menu.
Hi folks .. A question about the KX2: I saw this on other posts, and

out a full 10 watts of power for a little over one hour, then as the

Dear OMs and YLs,
It is better to wait for a well written manual than one which needs
work. Fred Cady had an advantage of a pre-existing manual and knowledge
gained on the forum over a period of time. Elecraft does not have this
luxury.Also Fred did not need to cover everything that the

Yes and no. My station has direct short runs from a 100Ah Bioenne
I used to run my K3S with an auto turn on Rigrunner which I liked very much,
convenient. But the voltage drop was concerning. I go direct now to the rig.

Bob,
The power strip is gone for the K3's. Now direct connections from the PS to
each K3.
The power strip is good for replacing the walwarts.

With the 10ga wire the power distribution strip is not used. There are two runs
of 7' each direct from the power supply to a K3. The run is 7' because I have

Rid your station of the DC power strip. It will cause problems. More
connections in the path will be more DC voltage drip. The radios should
be connected direct to the power supply.

In view of the typo correction, yes, a properly equipped KX3 will meet

Tony,
While those figures with the 10 gauge wire are good, they would be
better if you ran the K3 power directly from the power supply rather
than from the power distribution strip.
Each connection will have some voltage drop, so in addition to
increasing the wiring gauge, reducing the

I have been using an Astron SS-30M power supply for several years to feed
two K3's.
I use 12ga wire from the power supply to an MFJ-4012 power strip. From the
power strip I use 12ga wire to each K3. Total length from power supply to a
K3 was 8'. Each K3 is set for 100W on 30M into a dummy load.
