Bill A very nice antenna farm you have for sure! If I might ask how long is your feed line from the beverage and the 4sq's to your shack? And the TX 160m distance and feed line used helix I'm guessing? 73, Fred/N0AZZ Monett, MO. -Original Message- From:

Re: [Elecraft] Spectrogram download site

The main reason I dumped Norton a long time ago was because it slowed down the computer so bad, like real bad. Went to AVG and never looked back plus saved a lot of money even with the full purchased version of AVG on my shack computers (3). On the other 4 the free version's never have failed in 8

The DXE PL-259's are indeed good connectors I use it with their 400MAX coax and have ran up to 3kw into a dummy load using them no problems. I have used LMR-400 for years and now use only DXE coax and mostly there connectors. Fred/N0AZZ -Original Message- From:

Re: [Elecraft] Customized Radio Stands

I prefer the Nifty Stands over those, much neater and with the smoked stand goes very well with the radio. I don't know about those stands but the Nifty stand and the radio both have no movement at all, the KX3 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 5210--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KAT500--W2

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Interested in seeing operational KX3 - San Diego

The numbers tell the real story about it they do not lie it is the #1 QRP radio in the world without lugging around a computer with you and IMHO does better than those. It shows in the tests also no wonder it has became de facto standard for QRP radios around the world. For an SDR it and the K3

There have been many very good answers the main reason I switched to the K3's from the Yaesu FTDX-5000MP's a bit better main receiver on the Yaesu at that. The reason the second receiver same as the first with the same amount of filters if wanted. Not second rated ones like all the others top of

[Elecraft] KX3 LSB Off Frequency

I just received my second KX3 and it seems to have an issue. On LSB only it sounds like its off frequency when it shows dead on where it should be. Tuning up or down makes it over more so, if you listen closely it seems to be on but garbled. Never had this happen on my first KX3 on LSB and on

Once I finally learned how to use it works very well, but it is NOT a 1-2-3 press for NR like many. With the K3 you can really customize it for each and every type you encounter, like all things it could be better.. I'm still waiting on the PERFECT RADIO a K4 maybe 8) 73, Fred/N0AZZ

Re: [Elecraft] 2M module

I think they went with the right option first the amp and tuner to make the KX3 a full blown desktop radio a smart move IMHO. It also will produce the greatest amount of return good business since and profitability. The 2m mogul I think will not have nearly as many buyers as the amp/tuner because

When I changed over to all Elecraft gear one radio I did keep was my IC-9100 for all my UHF/VHF even though one of my K3's does have the 2m module in it. It still remains my main radio for 2-12m over my K3 with the 6/10 preamp. IMHO a better receiver on those frequencies plus the added power up to

This is really a great improvement for my KX3 and I would love to see it ported to the K3 if possible. I'm positive that there are many new updates coming for the flagship of the line the K3 to come. There is nothing on the market to compete with it and Elecraft has been the only company that
