[Elecraft] KDSP2 FOR THE K2 HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

I sent an e-mail to sales about this after someone on the reflector pointed out the KDSP2 was no longer on the order page. Margaret replied that indeed it has been discontinued due to the unavailability of parts. She also said that she would inform the website maintenance folks to add a note

Re: [Elecraft] Did calibration

With the firmware upgrade the VFO linking was moved from the sub receiver button to the config menu. Look in the firmware upgrade notes. There you will find the information you need to link the VFOs. Mark Musick, WB9CIF -Original Message- From: Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 question

This is no longer true. That problem has been fixed. I don't know what firmware version it was that eliminated the need to have power to the KAT500. Even when the problem existed, it only required that there be 12 Volts at the KAT500 power connector. It did not require the KAT500 to be powered on.

Re: [Elecraft] Suppporting Products

Doug, The Cady books are still on the order page. Look on the order page at the bottom of the K3S order area. This is just above the order area for the P3. I didn't look for the other stuff, but I'm sure it is still there. Look on the order page in the KX3 area. Mark Musick, WB9CIF -Original

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 age

John, I purchased KPA500 serial #1523 in February 2014. It was one of the amps that went on the T33A dxpedition in November 2013. Of the five amps on that dxpedition 4 were in the low 1500s and one was in the low 1200s. I don't know why they had one that had a much lower serial number than the

Re: [Elecraft] Final Thoughts on Logging Software

Yes, Ken it will track USACA and many other awards. It will track anything DX Lab will. I am not saying it is better. I am saying you can customize it to track anything. I've been using it since version 5 (LOGIC5) back in the mid to late 90s. Mark, WB9CIF -Original Message- From:

Re: [Elecraft] KPA3 vs KPA3A

Yes, Eric you can. This is something I was considering myself and investigated. Wayne said the KPA3 and all other K3 options could be used in a K3S. Wayne pointed out that the basic design and specifications of the KPA3A are no different than the KPA3. The KPA3A does have more pins than the KPA3

Re: [Elecraft] OT looking for K3EZ utility

There is also a 2007 version. I believe there was a bug in the 2008 version and some folks went back to the 2007 version. I don't remember what the issue was, but it wasn't fixed before the support went away. I have 2005, 2007 and 2008 versions. I can send all three to Jeff if he is willing to

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Voltmeter calibration ...

I sent Joe K3 manual REV D6 from early in 2010. On page 53 of that manual it has the following description for ADC REF and how to calibrate it. ADC REF Allows calibration of the voltage reference used by the K3 to measure and display certain values, such as the rig's supply voltage. (Optional.)

Re: [Elecraft] K3 RX issue with KAT3A?

Jerry and Udo, You can't save the configuration file from one K3 and then load it into another K3. The configuration file contains the serial number and calibration information specific to the K3 you're saving the configuration file for. I think you can print out the configuration files for each

Re: [Elecraft] Palstar AT-AUTO with K3

Hi Vic, I have the AT-AUTO and it works great with my K3 and Alpha 9500. I also have the RS232 switch that Kessler Engineering sells to switch from direct monitoring of the K3, where it follows the K3 frequency to listening mode when running a logging program like N1MM. It will run at 38400. You

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 7615

Aaron, I would not toss it. I just got my K2 serial #5308 back from Don, W3FPR. I bought it used and had Don to put additional options in it as I have bad eyesight. It works great. I am very pleased with it. He did a fantastic job and will work with you to get it right. He will even build and

Re: [Elecraft] Which keyboard for P3/SVGA?
