[Elecraft] K3s on Ducie

Those K3's on Ducie sure sound good...they have very nice keying characteristics and are obviously not having any problems vacuuming up signals either. Great stuff! The K3 certainly would seem to be the rig of choice for DXpeditions John K5MO

[Elecraft] HeathElecraft

I began wondering what the Aptos Wonders would have engineered with Heath era technology... Probably the HW-101. More than anything else, Elecraft understands the marketplace, and is very adept at meeting its needs. Heath did too, which is why they sold so many tens of thousands of pieces

[Elecraft] Re: SB-200

There's no swamping resistor in the SB-200, there's tuned inputs I used one with my K2-100 until very recently (since replaced with a Transworld solid state KW amp) and it does behave linearly. The only caveat is that you need to use an interface between keying line of the SB200 K2 ... no

...my skill set has bever been up to the micro - surgery required to build circuits inside a connector shell No need to worry, it's simple. One TO92 (not micro sized) and two 1/8W resistor (not micro sized) tacked across some connector pins. Easy, and takes about 10 min. I agree with

If your boy was in the UK he would likely get arrested for carrying a knife in a public place or at school. Unlike the old days, knives are regarded as dangerous weapons, engraved Elecraft or not. Incidentally, we can't carry guns either. My sympathies for the loss of your liberties! John K5MO

[Elecraft] No K3 mailing list needed

Its perfectly understandable to have a bubble of postings when a manufacturer releases a new radio. What is NOT needed, is a mailing list for each new radio! There's not a TenTec OmniV, TenTecOmniVI, TenTec Argosy, TenTec Corsair, TenTec Corsair II. series of mailing lists... it would

[Elecraft] Re: Gazzillion SMT's!

I opened the top lid, to add filters - and was amazed to see the technology they are pouring into these rigs. Must be hundreds of SMT's and lentil-sized micro variable C's - just packing the 1 or 2 upper boards in 706. As a builder of many kits - have to say, in 2006 - I'm amazed at what they

[Elecraft] essential tools

I'll second the suggestion of the AADE meter. Though many LCR meters claim this function, they don't typically have the resolution needed for small toroids, inductors, or caps like the AADE meter does (and as are used in many applications) I've got the M3 semiconductor meter on order...I look

[Elecraft] Re: K2 output power and external amps.

Hi Bill, I just went though this last week with my K2/100 driving a SB200. I was able to minimize this (but not eliminate it) by increasing R99 (on BOTTOM of main board...I spent about a half hour looking for it on the top!) . See this tech tip:

[Elecraft] K2 and band noise / audio

My K2/100 works great and it's a great DX machine. One thing I've noticed however, is that the recovered audio is different on different bands. On certain bands ( higher than 20M?) I need to have the AF gain waaay up to hear anything comfortably. Other bands (like 20m) will just about blow me

[Elecraft] Re: RS 50 supply

David The RS50M seems like a nice supply. I'm planning on purchasing one as well. I've been using several linear supplies used for Drake TR7s as a stiff station 12V supply. They too work well, but I want to get some of the TR7s back on the air again, and need the supplies. I'm not sure

[Elecraft] FD report

Operated Field Day as 1B (5w and battery power) into a 120 foot end fed wire launched out and over a 45' pine tree. The rig was a Elecraft K1 w/autotuner at 5W, with gel cell battery power. I laid out two radials for each band. In 4 1/2 hours I managed 170 contacts split pretty evenly between

[Elecraft] Elecraft Kit suggestion

The recent thread on missing parts brings up an area for imrprovement for Elecraft, that would not (I believe!) involve significant expense...and would likely save money for Elecraft. I would suspect that the vast majority of missing parts, are in reality unable to find parts. Given the size

[Elecraft] PwrAntenna

All this talk about 800W amps is interesting, however, due to oil prices the power company here has had to shove up the price per kWh to about 27c US. I'll stick with more and better high level aluminium which sucks as well as blows. Less potential TVI too. Sometines it's really nice to

[Elecraft] Posting rejection and other facts of life

From: Julian, G4ILO [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have no idea why my reply to another posting looked like spam, but there is no excuse for some brain-dead piece of software rejecting posts to a members-only ... Wow! With all due respect, it sounds like it's a good time to take a walk around the block.

[Elecraft] Fillet

If one is in the business of building boards commercially, a fillet is expected as a sign of an acceptable joint. Does it matter? I don't know, but I suspect if it didn't, then most of industry wouldn't care about it as much as they do. My .02 and worth every penny! John

I can heartily endorse the AADE LC meter ( see http://www.aade.com/) I received a kit for Christmas, built it in less than 2 hours, and have been extremely happy with the unit. The AADE unit won't do large value polarized caps, but generally the application of such caps (bulk capacitance for

[Elecraft] K2 2597

My upgraded K2 did battle in the WWDX CW portion, with an outboard RM auto-bandswitching amp. I used my recently completed K0SS (thanks Tom) kitted tuning indicator, and it SURE came in handy with the filters screwed down tight. I was very impressed with the capability of the K2 to hold its

[Elecraft] SLA Amps

I'm using a SLA150 on my K2 and it works fine. I get about 120-130 watts out on most bands. The auto - band detect works fine, and unlike the cheap-o CB amps, there's tuned output for each band. I'm sure the KPA100 is fine too, but the SLA is a workable alternative 73 John
