RE: [Elecraft] Comparing HexKey CW Paddle

Along the same lines, do you think the Hexkey would be a good key for someone trying to re-learn the code (I passed the 5 wpm element to get my Tech Plus in 1996, but have yet to use it)? Thanks for any comments. 73, Dan KF4KKF -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

RE: [Elecraft] Hum Coupling

Hello Allen, My guess is that magnetic fields from power transformers are either 1) being picked up by L30, or 2) that the magnetic fields are going through the cores of L30 and/or T5, and modulating the effective permeabilities of these cores. This will cause a modulation of inductance, and

[Elecraft] Cost Effective Balun

I have read a lot about baluns, and still cannot decide what to get. I have a KAT100 and, want to experiment with several antennas fed with open wire line. From all the discussions of baluns I have a formed a few impressions. 1. For QRP operation the balun is probably not needed. 2.

[Elecraft] Digipan 2.0 question

I note Digipan has a setup for some of the Icom radios to use serial data to command TX and RX negating the need to use DTR of any of the port control signals. Does anyone know if any of these selections are compatible with the K2? 73, Jim W4ATK K2 #4028

Re: [Elecraft] Comparing HexKey CW Paddle

No opportunity to compare the HexKey to anything yet. When I placed my order on the Elecraft website last week, I got an email confirmation the next day saying the KHXKEY is on backorder for approximately 5 weeks... -de N7BNT Doug === On Nov 1, 2004, at 6:00 PM, Jeff Burns wrote: Has

[Elecraft] Putting the K2 in K2ZR/FD; 3rd in 1A-b

Hi Gang, Just a quick gloat from the Buffalo Lighthouse Crew 1A-Battery FD event 2004. We finished 3rd using my K2 (SN543) and 4 Windoms hung from the top of the Buffalo Lighthouse. The K2 continues to be THE radio for this type of operation. Any laptop and a K2 can go the full event

Re: [Elecraft] Ham shop nr Washington DC

Thanks for all the response. Looks like it is more then a little detour and also I found that HRO does not sell the Sierra sidekick. Next time better Nick, PAØNCV - Original Message - From: Nick Verbeek [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 8:22

Nice work, Mark! Several K2 users have mentioned how well the rig worked for them at Field Day. This is gratifying for Eric and me, since that's exactly what we designed it for :) Now if I could just get out of the lab and into the great outdoors more often 73, Wayne N6KR On Nov

[Elecraft] HFPack amp kit

Steve, KZ1X, Thanks for copying my Ad to the Elecraft List! Just wanted to let everyone know that the HF Pack Amp Kit has been sold! I built the Elecraft KPA100 Kit instead, for my K2. 73, Carl, WN3DUG ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

[Elecraft] K2 S/N 4226 60m VCO value

Greetings All, Finished up the 60meter module, and ran into a hitch during the 40/60 meter alignment (p. 13). VCO voltage at R30 was only 0.87 volts at 5300. At 5450, VCO was 1.0 volts. Re-checked the VCO numbers for other bands, and at 4.0 MHz, the Voltage was at 6.0 volts. After checking

RE: [Elecraft] Hum Coupling

Hi Michael, Thanks for your comments. I think you are on to something. The only hope for lower magnetic field susceptibility for the K2 would be if either the VFO circuit were changed so as not to use an inductor for adjusting the quiescent resonance point of the VFO, or good magnetic

Hi all, Received today in post K2 S/N 4511. Just doing inventory check at this point but trying to make sure I understand work task. I am a bit confused with LCD backlight diffuser. It has a really nasty looking thin film on top which appears to be protective only then below it another matt
