Hi all,
The K-Line and KX-Line transceivers have been used in many DXpeditions. We'd
like to put together a complete list of these for an upcoming edition of the
Elecraft newsletter. We have information on most of them, but not all.
If you know of DXpeditions that featured Elecraft gear,
Do any of you new K3s owners have one of my
DXpedition K3 cases with the foam end cap kit?
If so, do the end caps fit the K3s OK? I don't think
there are any differences that would impact the fit
of the front or back end caps, but I'd like to conform
this.
Thank you, and ...
73!

I'm sorry but this will probably be an HF expedition. We have no aerials

This is a little old from your post, but they are very active [4-digit

You don't have to do anything to DM780 to work RTTY split - set it
(DM780) up as if you were working them simplex, and use SPLIT on the
K3, and VFO B, to set your TX frequency, as you would for any other
mode.

They should be workable, Don. I struck out the entire first week with my
100 W and vertical in Colorado. But now the crowd is thinning out nicely.
Worked them on 17, 20, 30 and 40 within the past 5 days. The 30 and 40
contacts were within an hour yesterday. The new Cameroon DXpedition should
A couple more tips:
They have been running very big splits at times, and tend to move around a
lot rather than sitting on one frequency. I had the most luck by calling a
couple hundred Hz above or below their last contact. If you have a P3, you
will find it to be quite beneficial in this
I got them on CW with my K3/10 and random wire antenna. It can take a

**Great Deals on Dell Laptops. Starting at $499.
I don't know about the Acer, but I'm using an eeePC 901 and it works
pretty well. The only problem was that the Elecraft-provided Prolific
USB adapter overran LP-Bridge, but a FTDI-based serial port took care
of the problem.
