Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

The West Valley Amateur Radio Association (using the K6EI call) has been running K2s and K3s at field day for at least 5 or 6 years. We run QRP battery for the entire "contest". We use a collection of lead acid batteries in the 100 AH category with solar panels as a power supply. It's really

Folks, Lets end this thread now, as it is exceeding our SNR posting limit. As per my prior post (see my prior email below), its OK to post OT and competitive topics if the number of postings in the thread is limited to less than 5-10. (Preferably closer to 5 or less). Also, please do not

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

Well I do have to say, though, that my "K3 plus" and K3s both are very respectable /p rigs, though. Both are the 10 watt versions and will actually run for a couple hours pretty well on even a 9AH AGM battery. Yeah, a solar panel or a larger batt would be required for longer than that or a lot of

Yes. In any group where you're paying attention, you tend to figure out who the heavy hitters are, who provide the needed BS filters. W3FPR, N7WS, K2AV, W4TV, AB7E, W4NZ, W9AC, GM3SEK, W0YK, NY9H, N6XI are a few members of this group who come to mind. Jim K9YC On Mon,5/2/2016 10:33 AM, Dick

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

Phil - yes, in much the same way as the K3S is not a SOTA rig :-) I have a KX3 and also an IC-7300, and I don’t see either as competition for one another - I will keep both. Interestingly, the current draw on RX on the IC-7300 is amazingly low taking into consideration the multi-functional large

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

ecraft] Elecraft Centric Joe, Crucial difference is that the KX3 system is modular and the barefoot KX3 can be used very effectively battery operated for SOTA, camping and the like. I suspect the IC-7300 was not designed for power efficiency :-) So I see them as a very different class of rig. 73, Phi

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

I consider this group to be a great collection of well-seasoned hams (smoked hams?). I assume that a lot of us are Elmers. Elecraft equipment is the right choice for most of us, but I appreciate the comments on other gear, so that I’m ready to give a new ham a solid list of choices. In

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

I am really "Elecraft Centric", but I believe with good reason - Elecraft gear is the "best in the business" by Sherwood ratings and the experience showing the standings in international extreme contesting as well as being the choice of DXpedition and contest operators. Those facts say a lot

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Centric

I think the 7300 could intrude against the KX3 in the "base station replacement" market, though. It's obviously an important enough market, in fact, that Elecraft developed the KXPA100 with built-in tuner to augment the KX3's attractiveness in that particular scenario. So I think the 7300 could

Gary, Although I only use Elecraft gear at this point -- and have been in that situation since my first K2 build increment in 1999 -- I'm always interested in what else is out there, and don't regard this reflector as "Holy Ground". Nor have I seen any messages I would regard as saying
