A few years ago I replaced the stock fans on my K3 with the Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX
fans and rubber mounts. The new ones are much quieter and the low rumble is
gone.
Last night I got thinking about the fans and about the rumble of the stock
ones.
The question I now have is I wonder if the low ru

Is your output power to low?
I built a T1 a few weeks ago and at first it worked good, Then it started
acting up...
I had turned my output power down, turning it back up solved the problem.
Note: As per the manual 2-5 watts is the recommended power setting.

Sadly the days of Good shortwave seem to have passed, I also used to enjoy
listening to SW in my younger years.
That being said the with the optional General coverage board the K3 does make a
good receiver but it lacks the highs in the audio. There is a filter board
that was added in the audio
I find it easy to spend my hard earned money with them.

Dear folks at Elecraft and on the list;
I have been enjoying Elecraft products for many years, startin
Heavier gauge wire and a shorter run helps to reduce voltage sag.

I decided to build another K2 (since I foolishly sold my first one) I figured
this time around I would use some Rework Eliminators.
When I checked unpcb.com I found that they no longer stock them.
Does anyone have an unused set with the additional components (full kit) that
they want to sell?
ting possibilities. I kind
of like K9YC’s suggestion of 30 meters where CW shines so well.
In any case, make a decision and enjoy it. Operating CW on the bands is always
a lot of fun.

I've built a K2 in the past so I figured a K1 would be a fun rig to build (for
me much of the fun is in building).
40 is typically good here but I also see less on 30. The bright side is that I
can always buy another filter board.

What Two Bands would you pick for a K1?
My first thoughts are 40 and 15, but I'm curious as to what others would pick.
Thank you.
