Victor makes a good point. Although I no longer have pets, if I leave the station (K3 + KPA500/KAT500) powered ON, I place the KPA500 in Stby and the K3 into Test mode. That (hopefully) ensures no errant transmissions while I am away from the shack. I have to admit that I have sometimes returned and forgotten to put the K3 back into Normal mode. Then I wonder why there are no responses to my calls (!!). Iguess at 73 I'm entitled to a few of those mistakes. 73 --- Ted WA3AER CWops #1879

Unless your pet is licensed to transmit. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
