[Elecraft] Headphone Pops and Clicks

2010-11-08 Thread Ed G
Hi Folks, I remember the subject of headphone pops and clicks being discussed before, but couldn't find any consensus as to cause. I'm using N1MM ver. 10.10.2 and K3 ver 3.79. In my case (over the weekend, CWSS) there were many random loud pops when I clicked on spots on the N1MM bandmaps

2009-02-19 Thread Ed G
Hi Folks, Excuse the OT post, but I know there are some CW fanatics on this list. I'm looking to buy one of the old (well, early 1990s vintage) Ditek CW paddles. It is roughly similar in appearance to a Brown Bros paddle, but a bit heavier. Was made by Ditek Industries. If I find one I

Hello, I have a few of these paddle bases for the KXPD1 left, so those folks who already own a KXPD1 can use it as a regular desktop paddle. This base allows you to mount the KXPD1 paddle in a conventional way, and connect it to your favorite rig or keyer. The base is 3 inches square, and
