[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,   The snow has finally stopped falling.  Hopefully that will be the last I see of it 'til December.  The daffodils are pushing through the crusty snow; they are ready.  After talking to a neighbor I found out why there has been so much logging in our area.  Saw log prices have

Re: [Elecraft] Planning the next filters

There seems to be an ongoing concern about audio levels for digital modes. This is not confined to the SignaLink, but applies to any and all soundcards used for digital modes. There are at least two audio level controls - the Line In gain, and the soundcard output level (set in the computer

Re: [Elecraft] any KPA500 available

I bought my KPA500+KAT500 combo (great used condition, but power calibration was way off) for $2100 shipped on 3/14/2017. I have seen several sell on QRZ since then. If you keep watching there, you will find some. I just used their "search" function to see some recent deals. One KPA500 went for

But now I need three receivers. Two for diversity and one to scan the pileup. 73 Bill AE6JV On 3/10/18 at 2:46 PM, k9...@live.com (Bill Johnson) wrote: > Chris, the second receiver sure makes a difference when using diversity. I > use antennas well > separated, one vertical and one loop.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Problem (Mac)

This wasn’t a High Sierra issue, but rather the actual preferences file on your disk that became corrupt. This can happen for several reasons, most likely a program crash while the preferences file was being written. Our testing shows no issues so far with the programs and High Sierra, but as

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Problem (Mac)

Hi Jack, I did get it working with David, W4SMT's suggestions. It is interesting that you got the “initializing” pane with a dialog behind it indicating that a setting is incorrect. Mine just showed the "initializing" pane, but there was no other way to get rid of it. I wonder if it is an

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Problem (Mac)

Hi Ray, Thanks for your suggestions! I have been lucky for 9 years with my 2009 iMac, but this year was the year to upgrade. It does look like the KAT500 Utility could use a bit of updating, and it is very weird that it got stuck looking for a USB-serial driver and couldn't be restarted or

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Problem (Mac)

Hi David, Thank you so much for your suggestion, which worked. I think it kept looking for a USB-Serial interface that it wasn't finding. Strange that it got stuck looking, but that DL2RUM's KAT500ui worked fine. Anyway, very grateful for your recommendation! 73 de John, WK8A On Sat, Mar 10,

[Elecraft] Reposting - K3 Utility COM Port Issue

Hello to the group.  I am having an issue trying to get my K3 Utility program (Version 1.16.7.25) to connect to my K3s locally. I am using a remote rig system and am attempting to program the K-Pod macros at the control site. The Remote rig system creates three COM ports. I have COM 6 as my CAT

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 adds attenuation in Operate

Ignore my message as I've found the problem. Had the PTT line from AmpKeyer to K3 plugged into the wrong jack! I had moved the radio to a friends recently and I apparently didn't put things back the way I had them. 73 Rick, W2JAZ On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 6:31 PM, iain macdonnell - N6ML

Re: [Elecraft] any KPA500 available

It would seem reasonable to guess many new owners of KPA1500 are upgrading from a KPA500. I'll make a wild guess at least 50%, so if Elecraft sells 5,000 KPA1500 during the beginning of sales then might there be 2500 used KPA500 that might be available on the used market? I suppose some will

[Elecraft] KPA500 adds attenuation in Operate

For some unknown reason when I switch the KPA500 to Operate the receiver in the K3 acts like I've activated attenuation. I've obviously made some change in a menu somewhere but I can't sort it out. SWR continues to read fine and power output is also fine. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Re: [Elecraft] New Sub RX

Chris, the second receiver sure makes a difference when using diversity. I use antennas well separated, one vertical and one loop. Amazing how the band condx can change. Nice to have the reception be instantaneous with my stereo speakers. 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message- From:

[Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Problem (Mac)

I'm a proud new owner of a KAT500 and KPA500 and trying to get them set up. I am following the 5 page Set Up and Configuration guide from Elecraft, and after getting the cables connected, I tried running the KAT500 Utility. Unfortunately, the program seems to hang, as I see a window that says

[Elecraft] New Sub RX

I just got my K3 back from Watsonville where I had the Sub RX, KIO3B and other mods installed. First ever QSO with my new KRX3A: TN5R on 20m CW. Beat the pileup while listening to both sides. TOTALLY AWESOME! Didn't realize how powerful a tool it is having that 2nd RX. I'm a true believer now

They aren't difficult to build. I made a couple with an inexpensive 8" shear/brake and a drill press. You can see some of the details in this google album. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kIbG8fpYGRHEUyzS2 If you don't have the equipment, they shouldn't be very expensive to have made as Alan

Why not have a case made. I'm having one made for a 2M linear, so that it matches the K-Line. I can send you a name and phone number of a facility in Hove, if it helps. 73, Alan. G4GNX -Original Message- From: Paul Wilton Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2018 4:28 PM To: Elecraft

[Elecraft] Wanted - EC2 enclosure

Does anyone have an EC2 enclosure surplus to requirements that they would be willing to sell? The EC2 is now discontinued and I’m looking for one to mount a KPA100 into. Being a UK ham then a European source is preferable from a shipping perspective but offers from further away appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] Cable for KX2 and KPXA-100

Tim, I made an adaptor to use my KX3 KXPA portable when I removed it from my truck. I used a headset with foot pedal PTT (or more descriptively - "stomp to talk"). Obviously I did not remove the cabling that was in the truck going to a tool box in the bed. My home made cables are about 5'
