We (Sussex County ARC W2LV) in NW NJ ran a 5A operation and had a couple of K3's on hand. We thought conditions were flat on Saturday but a little better on Sunday. We were well protected under a large circus tent with perimeter tarps from the wind and the rain. The cold (low 50's) was the

Re: [Elecraft] 222 MHz Transverter

2015-01-20 Thread John Santillo
I do a lot of VHF contesting in June and September and find 222 a great band that propagates very nicely. It's quieter than 2M during a contest allowing us to work weaker signals than we would be able to on 2M. We have worked well into the mid-west using Tropo but unfortunately the activity

[Elecraft] Would anyone like to see an all-mode VHF/UHF offering from Elecraft?

2014-01-31 Thread John Santillo
In my opinion, no. The satellite days are over until AMSAT and the government can work out their ITAR differences. I don't have any desire to invest in any equipment for FM satellites. For VHF/UHF contesting transverters are the operational choice. That said a 10M radio specifically designed

Re: [Elecraft] Off Topic -- Yagi Antenna SWR measurement ?

2013-07-12 Thread John Santillo
The lower the frequency the harder it is and I found standing the antenna up on end didn't work well either. What I do especially at the lower bands is put the antenna up in the air around 10 to 12 feet and adjust it to just below the bottom of the band. For example for 40M I would tune for

[Elecraft] My K3 on FD at W2LW

2012-06-25 Thread John Santillo
I used my K3 as the 15M CW/SSB, 80M PSK and 20M PSK station for FD. It was worked hard and ran flawlessly. I had the K3's PA temperature up to 50C for long periods of time without an issue. We had over 2100 QSO's. 73, John N2HMM __

[Elecraft] KXV3 Question

2012-06-07 Thread John Santillo
Hello all, For the KXV3 transverter ports to be operational, should the KXV command be set to test instead of normal? The BNC I/O ports don't seem to work unless it's put into test mode. Comments appreciated. 73, John N2HMM __

It doesn't look like a scam to me either. The buy-it-now price is $2500 bucks which means to me he needs cash quickly. 73, John N2HMM -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ken G Kopp Sent: Friday, February

Well S/N 5033 played very well at the W2LV 3A FD effort this past weekend. It was used primarily on 15M with a short stint on 80M.Everyone at the FD site was very impressed with the K3 and its neighbor the P3. The only issue I noticed was the FD message I recorded on the KDVR3 Digital Voice

[Elecraft] Keyboard CW with HRD and DM780

OK guys I've tried everything to no avail. The DM780 demodulates CW, PSK, etc fine and I can get the frequency readout and all the K3 button are displayed on DM780 but I just can't get the Keyboard CW to work. I did program the M1-M4 memories on the K3 and was able to activate them from DM780.
