[Elecraft] QST - My new book about CW and Morse Code

Greetings. I'd a daily reader and occasional poster to the group - K#, KX3, KAT500, and KPA500. Forgive the commercial interruption, but I wanted to share that my book, The CW Way of Life, is now available on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3ltqzBo I announced it a couple of weeks back on the LICW and

Re: [Elecraft] K4 vs. K4D Question

Terry, I could use your self-description by adding "used to" in the context of contests (I'm up to 297 confirmed and contest opportunities for the rest are slim to none). Then I'd add: "lives on tiny urban/city lot surrounded by both horrible QRM and hills." My antennas were as you describe: a

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Remote software and KPA500 remote software

"Once you turn it OFF with the front panel switch, it needs to be turned on the same way. After that, yes the utility is fully functional." I suspect the serial connection is getting confused and not properly reconnecting in the power up/down situation. I see that between the K3 and the Win4K3

Re: [Elecraft] "2" or "3" Paddle

Hiya Tommy. I own both the KXPD2 and KXPD3 and strongly prefer the KXPD2. The KXPD3 was bought at the same time as my KX3 and served well for several years. However I never "liked" it - found it clunky to send on and the sharp edge of the paddles bit into my fingers, so I was on the lookout...

Hi Scott. You wrote "What can people suggest for quasi-affordable *RF-quiet* 4k displays in the 27-40" range?" I'm using an LG 27UD69P that I picked up as open stock at Best-Buy last year and am quite satisfied. It's beautiful. It does have an external PS, and is very happy to run off the same

[Elecraft] September 25th is VAIL Day - The First Telegrapher

Greetings. Wednesday 25 September 2019 is the 212th birthday of Alfred Vail. While Samuel F. B. "Finley" Morse is correctly credited with conceiving and parenting the telegraph as a communication system - the global wired information network and business - the details of how information was

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Noise While Off

I may be wrong, but that may not be what Dick, WM6G, is referring to. I've had a KPA500 for quite some time, so I have an idea of what constitutes "normal." In the last few months I've noticed that every morning, between roughly 9-10 AM, I hear brief 1-5 second pulsations of easily audible hum

Re: [Elecraft] Samuel Morse's birthday (Friday, April 27th); good excuse to break out your old hand keys

Good Idea Wayne! And I'll remind the assembled masses that the unsung hero in the story of Morse code was a fellow named Alfred Vail - who played Wozniak to Morse's "Steve Jobs." Vail pretty much invented the dash-dot code as we know it, as well as the hand key. But it's Morse's name, as owner of
