Re: [Elecraft] Replacing the Lead acid shell inside K2 with Li-Po cells

I thought about this and even bought a 3 cell battery and balanced charger - then I realised the dangers of LiPo and decided against it in favour of 10 2.5AH NiMH cells in a 5 over 5 holder. This fits in fine in place of the lead acid, is a lot lighter and can be charged quite easily with minor

Guys,   If anyone have experience with DM780 and E-MU 1616M sound card. I am using K3  and LP-PAN  which works well in 192Khz sample rate with Power SDR but problem is with DM780 no input audio detect in software.   Please any ideas..   regards,   E72X - Gordan

Re: [Elecraft] Help on Configuration

Hi, If you have the FM filter you do not need the AM filter for listening to AM broadcasts with envelope detection. The FM filter is plenty good enough as the DSP allows you to set any bandwidth you please up to about 4.2kHz audio bandwidth (or thereabouts). This is wider than the 6kHz AM filter

Re: [Elecraft] Replacing the Lead acid shell inside K2 with Li-Po cells

I think that dangers of protected Li-Ion batteries are way overblown. After all, millions of laptops with those batteries fly every day with no problem. The charging problems are overblown as well. What happens if the battery life is 100 charges and not 500 when you need to charge every two

[Elecraft] K3 RF gain cal questions

I have performed the RF gain calibration (and also re-calibrated the s-meter) on my K3 using the Elecraft XG-2 generator hooked up to the receive antenna input of the KXV3 module. I used this input for two reasons: One reason is there is no chance of RF coming out of this input. Secondly, I

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Split

I have my K3 linked to my computer and the DX Cluster, and I have also noticed that if I am on, say 7005kHz in split mode, and a 'spot' appears on the Cluster on, say 7009kHz, if I click on the spot to send the K3 to that frequerncy, then once again it drops out of split mode and reverts

I have to agree with the need for the radio to be smarter about changing it's tuning rate automatically.  This is a software change that would be helpful to most of us and is great on the Icoms. I really like the way some radios speed up the tuning rate as you turn the dial faster. I think this
