Re: [Elecraft] K2, PSK31 microphone

2005-07-30 Thread designer
The posts on this topic mention an isolation transformer to separate the computer from the PSK audio line. So I might have missed the boat a little when I decided to ground the computer chassis/case to the common equipment ground. That is, I have a ground rod with a wire coming up to a copper

Elecraft mailman, A few minutes after I posted, via your email address, a reply to a news group topic I received the following email. Note that my post hasn't yet appeared in the newsgroup list - so I'm guessing this came directly from something between me and you. I translated the Dutch but

Re: [Elecraft] Slight K2 Drift When on PSK31

2005-06-10 Thread designer
This drift is discussed in the ReadMe file of one of the PSK programs (WinPSK, MixW, TrueTTY, etc.). If both have snap and/or AFC and the sound cards are off a little, then one slowing creeps up the band as each station adjusts to the other. A protocol was suggest were only one party used

[Elecraft] What is this new back panel

2005-05-07 Thread designer
From time to time someone mentions the new heat sink back panel for the K2. I haven't seen a picture of it on the web site or item listed in Options. I've suggested that Elecraft make a PSK friendly back panel - with holes for Line In/Out or one hole for a 5 pin DIN plug to handle those I/O.

Lee, If you search for Elecraft on eBay you'll see a person offering (a regular item), a kit that consists of two binding posts connected to a BNC for easy connection of long wire to the K2. The kit also includes wire for an antenna and counterpoise, plus a large Hex Nut and line to toss over

But he has to operate within the Canadian band plan - right? Just to make a point - not to whine - I often hear Canadian SSB on top of the 7.070 PSK frequency. 73, Paul ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a

[Elecraft] WA3WSJ Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Experience!--- Long

2005-02-23 Thread designer
Though I didn't work a polar bear, I had an enjoyable time listening for them and learned a lot. I will now really honor those QRP frequencies. It was very frustrating when power stations would QSO with each other nearby or right on top. I was concerned about my high power (50-75 watts)

RE: [Elecraft] What cable with RASCAL PSK interface

Mike, I bought the K2 used and it came with an Heil hand mike. While reviewing the BUXCOMM site for other options, I saw they had a cable for SCG and Ten Tec gear but not Elecraft. I now understand that's probably because there are various ways to configure the mic connector and Elecraft

There was a discussion about this just recently in the BrassPounders news group on Yahoo. The attractiveness of Ultimatic is not its effeciency - it is attractive to a number of cw operators because of its ineffeciency! That is, its forgiving coordination requirements. I bought a very nice

Ralph, Another, or an again way of saying what has been said is: You are assuming that the K2 sees the Bencher and computer keying as the same. If that were the case, they would bethe same. The K2 does NOT see the Bencher and the computer as the same. It sees the Bencher as triggering the

[Elecraft] What tuning knob is best on K2

Although more and more my rigs are controlled by software, I still like to tune that knob a bit. But the more I'm around other rigs, the less satisfied I am with the stock K2 tuning knob Do you have a recommended favorite that is plug-to-plug exchangeable and available. That is, I've heard
