Re: [Elecraft] OT: Small solar array to handle just the shack, computers, and lighting

60W equivalent LEDs are $3 for a pack of three at Costco in the Chicago area due to an instant rebate from ComEd, the area power company. I really like them, so I need to find a home for my inventory of CFLs. Jim N7US Sent from my iPad On Sep 25, 2015, at 10:33 AM, Wayne Burdick

Re: [Elecraft] Heil HC-7 Dynamic Element with K3/0 Setup

The Heil page suggests LOW not HIGH. I have, and sometimes use, a PR781, which is one they mention along with the HC6, and I use LOW. My settings for the PR781 are intended to make it more like an HC4, which is what I use for DXing. I cut the lows more and emphasized the highs more than Heil's

[Elecraft] [K3] TERM error in menu

[Elecraft] [K3] Power control sensitivity with KPA500

I've only had my KPA500 for a couple of weeks. It seems to have so much gain that adjusting the K3's power control takes a very fine touch to drive the amplifier to the desired 500W without overshooting. It's too easy for me to add 50W of KPA500 output when I really want, say, 10w or 20W, but
