Re: [Elecraft] On CW

Great read and very well said, Wayne :) You brought back a memory of my sophomore year in high school back in the late 60's, still about 8 years away from getting my ham ticket. I was one of those "nerds" who was taking an electronics shop class. Our instructor was a ham operator. Aside from

Re: [Elecraft] Freq. offset?? -- K3

You might also want to check the frequency calibration of the P3 (page 31 in the P3 manual). I happen to notice while checking the K3S frequency against WWV and going through K3S calibration, the P3 was off about 250hz (with 600hz sidetone). Gene N9TF > On July 29, 2017 at 8:10 PM Gene O

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Package Discounts

Well stated Don, This was one of the deciding factors for me when I pulled the trigger on Elecraft two years ago. I saw the value in being able to add options along the way as/if, my operating style or conditions changed. Firmware upgrades and support were the other reason. I wanted a rig "I"

Re: [Elecraft] TX Test Mode garbage

Out of curiosity I just checked this with my K3S and found the same oddity. During CW key down into a dummy load in TX Test mode the K3S draws 2.5 amps from the 1 amp in RX, and the hash signal heard in another receiver into a different dummy load appears to be 2.7Khz wide. Starts out as full

Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX CW contest going on right now, through tomorrow; lots of great DX!

Lots of lightning static here in Northern IL on 80 last night. I did hear several EU stations on cqing though, but they never heard me. CS2C was really loud. I' am running Qrp SB on 80m (K3s). My antenna is a 40/80 short Dipole made by Hy-Power Antenna company. The Apex is only 35 sloping down

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft's source code

The really cool thing is, anyone with enough ambition, curiosity, and knowledge, can do the exact same things as what the entrepreneurs at Elecraft did from "scratch". And the really, really cool thing with that could be new ground breaking technology and innovations. I would never look at a
