Tried to do a K4 update yesterday from R26 to R28 and I get a network failure. Ethernet cable is
attached and blinking but K4 does not see it. Replaced cable with same results.K4 update screen
says "Production Release 0"; not sure what I'm doing wrong.Mark WU6ROn Jan 13, 2022, at

<[email protected]>Subject: [Elecraft] New K4 beta software available (Release
28)Message-ID: <[email protected]>Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=us-asciiRelease 28 is now available as beta, with several new features (including the
DVR) and major improvements. Upgrading is strongly recommended in order to remain current.Release
notes for R28 are listed below. These as well as earlier release notes can also be found on our
website, as well as directly at the radio itself in the UPDATE
utility.********************************************NOTE: IF YOU USE NON-FLAT TRANSMIT EQ, you
will need to re-adjust the settings one timeafter loading this softw
are release. Seerelease notes for
details.********************************************73,WayneN6KR========================
RELEASE 28 ============================= FUNCTIONAL CHANGES =====AUDIO OUTPUT
IMPROVED BY 10 DB: In previous releases, maximum audio output may have been as
much as 10 dB lower than the target value with some combinations of the AGC
slope and threshold menu settings. Now, maximum AF output is pre-compensated
for AGC behavior. This results in a minimum speaker output of about 1.5 W into
4 ohms and 1.0 W into 8 ohms. (The new AF output specification will be at 1 W
rather than 2 W.)S-METER NOW 6 dB PER S-UNIT: S-meter calibration now matches
the more common industry standard. (Previously it was 5 dB per S-unit.) With
this change, each tic mark of the S-meter graphic represents 3 dB.DVR (DIGITAL
VOICE RECORDER): The DVR can now be used for transmit voice message
record/play. There are 8 messages (2 banks of 4). Tap REC, then follow
on-screen prompts. Message
s can be played without on-air transmit by using transmit test mode (TEST switch).
Maximum message length is 90 seconds. NEW BACKUP/RESTORE FUNCTION: Tap Fn, then hold
BACKUP. This brings up the backup/restore screen. You can select whether to backup or
restore five categories of data, including General Configuration, Frequency Memories, PF
Key and K-Pod Macros, CW/PSK/FSK messages, DVR messages, and Diagnostic Logs.SEPARATE TX
MONITOR LINE-OUT LEVEL CONTROL: Use TX Monitor Level, Line Out menu entry. Applies to
both sidetone and voice monitoring, as well as to both analog and digital line out.ICON
CHANGE FOR RX DYNAMIC RANGE OPTIMIZATION: The original icon, a visual hybrid of 'D' and
'R', was judged too cryptic by users. The new icon is "DR+", allowing the
operator to for search for it in the operating manual.BUILT-IN OPERATING MANUAL UPDATED
TO REV. C12. Covers all recent changes.===== BUG FIXES =====TX EQ SLIDERS NOW +/- 16 dB:
The EQ sliders had been incorrectly set to +
/- 4 dB. If you use non-flat EQ, you may need to do a one-time readjustment of the
sliders.ELIMINATED DUAL IP ADDRESSES for the radio. This occurred very rarely.MENU IP
ADDRESS FIELD EXPANDED: The parameter field now accommodates 12-digit IP
addresses.ELIMINATED LOSS OF AUDIO on power-up (rare).VFO STEP RATE PRESERVED across
power-downs.TX METERS STAY ON IF SPLIT TURNED ON/OFF WHILE TRANSMITTING.SBC DATE CORRECTED
ON 3V BATTERY SWAP.===== FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS =====ADDED VO$ COMMAND (VFO OFFSET). This
can be used to directly offset either VFO by a specified amount.ADDED XVTR SUPPORT FOR BN+;
and BN-; commands.FI$; COMMAND AI RESPONSE NOW SENT ON BAND
CHANGE.------------------------------Message: 2Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2022 18:30:26 -0500From:

<[email protected]>Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=utf-8With my wife?s encouragement, I recently purchased my ?holy grail? radio -
an Elecraft KX3. Along with this purchase came the decision to reduce my radio
?footprint? and get rid of a lot of my old gear that is no longer getting much use.
Some of this equipment has some non-trivial monetary value, but I don?t need the money,
I don?t want to go through the hassle of trying to sell it, and I don?t want to deal
with shipping issues. I want to just give it away locally, preferably to a club that
could use it (or the proceeds from selling it) to help younger or disadvantaged hams get
on the air.I?m a 100% QRP/CW operator and most of this stuff relates to that. The gear
includes an Elecraft K1, Rockmite 30, SST40, MFJ Versa Tuner II, Astron PS, various
accessories and numerous books. I have a 3-page pdf document that gives a comple
te list. Almost everything is in perfect working order and there are both hard and digital copies for most of the owners manuals.I will organize everything, box it up, and can deliver it to just about anywhere in the SE Michigan area. I want to donate all of it as a group and not piece it out a little bit at a time.

school amateur radio group in Gainesville, FL. My station is in SE Georgia
and I spent four years in Gainesville back in the late 70s, so I knew the
club?s advisor through the Gainesville Amateur Radio Society, We reconnected
in 2018 due to luck and circumstance and I subsequently learned about the
school?s amateur radio club. When I made the donation I drove to the high
school to deliver the ?goods? and later the advisor drove to my ham station to
pickup a second load. I documented the donation and provided the list to
the High School. They subsequently confirmed the receipt of items donated,
including an Icom IC-781, a Yaesu FT-736R, and an Alpha 9500. Like you, I was
primarily interested in passing good equipment to the ?next generati
on? as well as seeing the equipment in active service as it was sitting on shelves. An
active high school club fits that requirement nicely. So one thing to consider is
looking to see if such clubs exist in your area. Local hams may be serving as club
advisors. Perhaps a local school experienced an ARISS contact and has a relationship
with an amateur club as a result of that experience. Talk to local educators to see if
they have such clubs at particular schools. I still hear from the club advisor
concerning the high school amateur radio club and the activities of the students. I
believe my donation has had an impact on students which makes me feel that I?ve a made a
difference for those that are using this equipment as well as enhanced the high school?s
club activity.FWIW,Barry Baines, WD4ASW/5Keller, TXThanks and 73,Paul Huff -

I'm not sure how to remedy this.-- '72Aaron Scott------------------------------Message: 22Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2022 03:04:24 +0000 (UTC)From: Steve Masticola <[email protected]>To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>Subject: [Elecraft] New wattmeter plans?Message-ID: <[email protected]>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8I bought a W2 today, because my Meterbuilder MB-1 wattmeter's directional coupler died and the product seems to be an orphan. But I wonder if Elecraft has any plans to bring out an updated wattmeter. The W2's design is ten
years old, and the LED bargraph displays are getting a bit long in the tooth.Any rumors, or more than rumors?73, -Steve WX2S------------------------------Message: 23Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2022 10:31:20 -0500From: Steve Hall <[email protected]>To: [email protected]: [Elecraft] 40 meter SSB net, Jan 9, 7.280Message-ID:<CALdUqNO5rfMtVY8w8Xu=9xa4ebjkhvu_u2_ribya2ocg+d4...@mail.gmail.com>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"THANKS TO ALL CHECKING IN AND TO RELAY STATIONS.WM6P STEVE GA K4D #436W3SA JOHN NC TS890W9EJB ED IN K4D #498N8SBE DAVE MI K3SKO4FCO BOB TN FTDX10NK9A STAN MIK5PD PETE TX K3W4TMW TOM GA K4K4FKB CYRUS AL FT450DKD9TII RON IN FT900WB9JNZ ERIC IL FTDX101DNC0JW JIM CO KX3W4DML DOUG TN K3VA2FH GILBERT QUEBEC K3------------------------------Message: 24Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2022 16:23:00 -0500From: Richard Gilley <[email protected]>To: [email protected]: [Elecraft] KX2 for saleMessage-ID: <[email protected]>Con
