Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
I'm ready to buy a set of K3 panels in the K1/K2 gray ... Perhaps Aptos could produce a few K2 color-schemed cases w/front panels ... It's surprising to see the different color tastes reflected in the fabric and thread colors chosen by Rose's case orders. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
As it is currently constructed, the K3 in finished in a variety of different textures. Black is a good color for minimizing those differences; other colors might not manage the task as well. 73, Steve NN4X On 2/26/08, Darwin, Keith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why not? > > How about offering the case in different colors?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 in different colors?
Keith, I like this idea. My wife just purchased a Ruby Red Dell Laptop. (Her name is Ruby) But, I am not sure about the complexity of manufacture. How many colors to offer? How many chassis to stock? Thinks like that. The only company doing this is the German CompanyHilberling...which has Bright Blue, Midnight Black and Blood Red. I like the idea, it has merit, but I doubt that it would be practical and that it would increase sales because I have to have the White K3. It is the bomb!

Re: [Elecraft] K3-Latest K3 Review on EHAM
When it comes to reviews, I tend to focus on the bad ones as the good ones could simply represent someones feeling that they spent plenty of money on something, it must be good. When it comes to ham gear, a bad review without a call sign doesn't get much weight. I suppose the reviewer in this case could have made up for it by giving the serial number of his K3, but that wasn't included either. I don't think it is a true review. Of course, my K3 has been ordered, my review will follow after I feel I know the radio, it could be a few weeks, or it could be a few months, I won't know until I know. 73 de Joseph Durnal NE3R On Sun, Feb 24, 2008 at 3:29 AM, Bob DeHaney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The reviewer (Solardx, no call sign) gives a very bad transmitter (SSB) > review.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 RF board test
Jack, Believe the DMM and refrain from using the analog ohmmeter because it apparently uses a high enough voltage for resistance measurements that it can turn on solid state devices and may even damage them. 73, Don W3FPR Jack wrote: Hi folks Just building my K2. Got as far as the first resistance checks on the RF board (page 38) All values test correct but one. The right end of R115 is meant to be >500 ohms to earth. With an analogue meter it gives 2 ohms. With a DMM on auto range it flashes between ranges wildly. But on manual range it gives 10.2 Kohms. Anyone shed any light on this?

[Elecraft] K3 eHam Reviews
"Maybe we should convince Elecraft to employ scantily clad buxom women in ads that talk about the exciting new case colors, the many knobs and lights and the like" I like and buy Elecraft's products now, but this type advertising would prompt me to buy much more, maybe 2 or 3 K3s no matter what any of the reviews say, am easily impressed by scantily clad buxom women, especially if they DON'T talk. Seriously, content of most reviews of any product is just the reviewer's opinion. Even the reporting of ARRL laboratory tests is sometimes slanted by the words the review uses to report the results. And, most proud owners find the "objective" test results largely irrelevant. And woe to the person who questions the mystical capabilities of their pride and joy. 73, Curt KB5JO ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I cannot get to see the schematic until later today, but it looks as though there might be a semiconductor connected to the right end of R115 which conducts when you use your analogue meter. You could try swapping the leads of the analogue meter to see if it then reads a greater resistance than 2 ohms, hopefully > 500 ohms. If it does then the analogue meter is causing the problem because any analogue meter measuring resistance can cause a semiconductor to conduct, DMMs should not. 73, Geoff GM4ESD ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Noise Reduction Recording
Trevor Smithers wrote: What you really need is a method of identifying the actual ssb speech waveform, extracting the noise More or less by definition, if you have mix of an unknown signal and noise, you cannot separate the two. That's because noise is random and therefore unpredictable and the signal is unknown, so also unpredictable. To remove some of the noise, you must make assumptions about the signal. For speech, that probably means assuming that only discrete formant frequencies are present (but that isn't valid for unvoiced sounds and particularly for s and h sounds - the loss of these may be why people find noise reduced signals to be muddy), identify those frequencies, and then attenuate all the other frequencies. If the signal is close to the noise, you will not be able to identify the important frequencies properly, and therefore not be able reduce the noise this way. More drastically, you can try and construct a set of voice tract model parameters, and then synthesize the speech from those (this is what GSM does, but for bandwidth reduction rather than noise reduction, so it assumes a reasonable starting SNR). Most drastically, you use speech recognition and have the noise reducer re-speak the words. Currently the best tool for doing speech recognition in the presence of noise is the human brain, though, so the best way of getting noise reduction is to get someone else to listen to the signal and repeat it to you! Generally, noise reduction has to be more of an operator comfort thing than really improving the signal. If the noise is so strong that you cannot make out the speech, the noise reduction isn't going to be able to find it anyway. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
