[Elecraft] Re: KX1 Lid-Tiltstand

A form of protective lid for the KX1 that also acts as a tiltstand is an interesting challenge, Paul. Sitting here enjoying much-needed rain in Sacramento, I see on my KX1 those two panel screws part way down from the top that could be substituted to hold an elongated hinge for attaching a top

[Elecraft] K3 Good Times

Comments of K3's on the air, some working one another, and Eric checking his Planned Shipping Sheet sound to me like the K3 Good Times we've been anticipating are underway. My only question is, can I order a kit containing at least one toroid wound by Lisa? Those are going to be collector

[Elecraft] An Expert with Heart

Surely, the phonetics for Don Wilhelm's call letters, W3FPR, must be Friendly, Patient Radioman. After following Don's helpful responses daily here on the Forum the last two years, I'm in awe of not only his obvious technical skills, but his superhuman patience as well. Don

[Elecraft] Kit Building

Several issues have arisen of late in regard to tools and modules while building Elecraft gear. I'd like to add my two cents' worth with my experiences. First, I just built and installed the DSP module in my K2/100, and I'm elated with the results. I don't think it can be stressed enough

[Elecraft] Tracking Local QRN

I recently uncovered a surprising source of in-house r.f. interference on 40 meters, hindering reception on my beloved K2/100. I had already eliminated such sources as defective touchlamp units, and replaced wall-mounted dimmer switches that are infamous for the static they generate. That

[Elecraft] Bottom Fan

Well, you could still use the bottom cover if you put a whizzer fan there. And if you did it right, you could have the fan blow down to draw heat away from the rig and to lift it up to eye position for better viewing. :-) - Keith N1AS - Oh, no, Keith! Now you've done it. The lengthy

[Elecraft] Where'd he get it?!!

Hey, Charlie's got a K3!! The secret is out! grin -Dale, K6PJV snip Now the reason I ask is I am headed back to VK9CGG for three weeks. Hope to work lots of you with a K3 undamaged by checking it in my luggage but inside a Pelican case. Any recommendations? 73, Charlie,

[Elecraft] I'm Hooked!

I ordered the K2 noise blanker and a switchable balun from Elecraft Monday morning, received them Tuesday noon, and had both operational Wednesday. This is getting WAY too convenient! I'm wondering if Sacramento has a chapter of EAA (Elecrafter Addicts Anonymous). I've built the K1, KX1

[Elecraft] KX1 Ext. Speaker

After recently completing a KX1 kit, I wanted to monitor with a speaker and what I had been using gave me very poor output levels. I bought the recommended Sony earbuds, which have wonderful volume and reproduction, but still wanted a speaker because that's the way I operate most of the

[Elecraft] Key Comparisons

Is anyone in a position to give a comparison of differences, likes, and dislikes between the Paddlette and Palm Mini keyer paddles? I have a Paddlette mounted on my K1, and good friend K6MGO is wondering about the virtues of the German-made Palm Mini in comparison for his K1. Even responses

[Elecraft] How sweet it is!

Having just gotten K2 5345 completed and on the air, and mighty proud of that fact, I'd like to add my endorsement of Spectrogram to give the ultimate tweak to a fine piece of ham gear. Besides, Spectrogram is fun! Yes, this old duffer found it confusing at first and I had to make

[Elecraft] Spare Parts Mystery

How is it that every time a part comes up missing from one of my Elecraft parts bags, I happen to have the identical same part in my own spare parts supply? I simply lean over and sort through my spares, conveniently left lying about under the workbench, and voila! I think the

[Elecraft] Elecrafter Seeks Help!

I'm in serious need of help from my fellow Elecrafters. Rosin-tainted smoke lingers overhead as I toil with bleary eyes to assemble a new K2, relying on the happy experience of a K1 build a short time ago. All is bliss around my cozy workbench, but the XYL is hovering nearby and

[Elecraft] Battery Power

The ongoing discussions regarding woes involving AC power supplies puzzles me, because I've operated for years from 2-volt batteries and wonder why it isn't a more common practice. From QRP rigs to 100-watt transceivers through VHF/UHF equipment, all my equipment is powered through a

[Elecraft] Receiver comparison

As mentioned in my earlier posting today, I'm on the verge of taking the next step up the Elecraft ladder by purchasing a K2 kit. I have a question, however, that I know many of you are in a position to answer. I'm extremely impressed with the receiving characteristics of the K1, loving
