Band conditions were a little bit better today, at least for a while. We had 24 check-ins today, and even a couple of stations who previously couldn't hear me. Here are today's check-ins:

What would he use as a mic connector for a desk mic, to connect to the front panel mic connector on the K3? I recommended a Kenwood 8-pin adapter, available at your favorite retailer for amateur radio supplies, whether on-line or brick-and-mortar. 2. Should you back up your configuration before upgrading firmware on the K3? My answer is that you should always back up your configuration before making any change to the rig, so you have a recovery point, should you need it. 3. Mike is using an L4B amp and wanted a suggestion on getting a signal to the amp, from the K3, for tuning purposes. A couple of people on the net suggested turning power down to an acceptable level and using the XMIT button on the rig. If anyone has any other suggestions/answers to any of these questions, please reply to the mailing list so we can all grow and learn. Finally, I have about three or four more weeks where I can feel fairly certain I'll be home from Temple with my family to call the net. Once we go back onto standard time in the US the first weekend in November, I can't guarantee I'll be home by 1:00 PM EST to call the net. If there is someone who can take over the net at that point, please let me know. I don't want to see this net fade away simply because the time change affects my availability. Thanks everyone. See you here next week! 73 de, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua km4ik....@gmail.com 10-10 #74624 North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070 #1962 K3 #281, P3 #688 KAT500 #860, KPA500 #1468 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
