Re: [Elecraft] New Contest Transceiver [OT]

There is way less casual CW operation than there was in '79, '89, and even '99. Except for contesting and DXing, CW is close to being dead. Foreign phones, RTTY data stations in the lower portions of the CW bands and the ARRL/FCC elimination of CW-testing will finish it off. If I thought there

and it would be nice to save some $$ initially by buying only the FM filter and using the DSP to limit bandwidth in AM. Any possibility of this? Thanks, Scott, N9AA Dave Lowenstein wrote: No interest in ESSB and little interest in phone, but for casual AM use, could the FM roofing

Re: [Elecraft] Re: K3 AM operation with FM roofing filter?

No interest in ESSB and little interest in phone, but for casual AM use, could the FM roofing filter be used or is it necessary to purchase both AM FM filters to be able to receive and transmit on all modes? 73, Dave N7AF On Tue, 22 May 2007 09:16:06 -0700 wayne burdick [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Elecraft] Way OT - eBay - HELP

Geoff, Everyone has pretty much covered the topic on the phony messages. I've gotten them too. However, your comment about contacting a real live person at eBay is a good one. They are there but apparently days behind answering inquiries. Since time is a major issue when dealing on eBay,

Re: [Elecraft] KAF2 or KDSP2 for K2 #5287

I find the crystal filter more than adequate for my type of CW operation and have felt no need to add any audio filtering. 73, Dave N7AF - Original Message - From: Darwin, Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Elecraft Group elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 9:14 AM

Re: [Elecraft] Rework Eliminators

Had these been available when I built my K2, I would be more enthusiastic about adding options. The one feature of the K2 I don't care for is the heat sink and mounting of the final transistors. I don't relish the thought of taking the heat sink on and off and messing with those little

Re: [Elecraft] The Toroid Guy

winding toroids are not hard, just time consuming and boring. I found winding the toroids a lot less boring and time-consuming than installing several hundred resistors and capacitors that I could hardly see. Dave N7AF ___ Elecraft mailing

Re: [Elecraft] CW in Emergencies?

The disadvantage of no-code is that if new hams aren't required to learn CW, how are they going to be able handle emergency traffic from our low-powered battery-operated K1's and K2's? Since emergencies are one of our reasons for being and CW gets through with simple equipment where other

Hi Kevin, My K2 is S/N 4795 and I'm located in Tempe, AZ. Could just barely hear you at times on 20 and same on 40 at beginning of the net. I was able to copy you pretty well by the end of the net. 73, Dave N7AF ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

Re: [Elecraft] Low PLL reference oscillator range

Paul, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. You'll need to request a 12uH choke from Elecraft for L31 and that will solve the problem. 73, Dave N7AF ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the

Re: [Elecraft] K2 volume

I'll answer this since the experts don't seem to be available at the moment. 1. Yes, you should be able to receive signals on the 40-meter band. 2. You should have full headphone volume now. Good luck and I'm sure someone will be able to help you track down the problem if there is one. 73, Dave

Re: [Elecraft] ECN/30 - Success!? (I think)

What about the 0200 net, Daniel? Or didn't it count since I was the only check-in and was running a TT Argonaut? hi. I enjoyed working someone using a K2 and hearing what it sounded like as I hope to build one soon. 73, Dave N7AF ___ Elecraft

[Elecraft] Listening to SSB on K2 without KSB2

Is the K2 unsuitable for listening to SSB if the KSB2 isn't installed? 73, Dave N7AF The SSB filter is much more pleasant to use than the CW filter set for a wide bandwidth. The SSB filter has a flat passband, whereas the CW filter, being varactor controlled, develops a lot of ripple by the

Re: [Elecraft] Listening to SSB on K2 without KSB2

Thanks for the replies Don, David, Philipe. Sounds like it ought to work. I'm a CW man on the verge of ordering a K2 but like to just listen to SSB while I'm puttering around the shack. 73, Dave N7AF - Original Message - From: W3FPR - Don Wilhelm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dave Lowenstein
