It's called "littering" and it is in fact unlawful.

No.  I have seen them before.  It’s a camouflaged pinata.  Trust me.

As a near neighbor to Saguaro National Park at one time I knew the Chief Ranger 
on a first name basis. He used to keep up with the geocache website and remove 
caches as soon as they got listed.  As a related activity I recovered some 
benchmarks placed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s that hadn't 
been seen since.


For example:

Re: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

Tattoo parlor foot pedals are rugged and cheap.  I had to swap out for a 
longer cord but the switch itself is rugged and not too hard to press.

You don't win anything as such for finding a cache. You get to sign the log 
book, take an item from the cache (if there are items inside it) and leave 
an item of equal or greater value in it.

It is hard to tell from the picture how high it is in a tree. If it is for a 
geocache you need to be able to reach it and open it somehow to sign the log 
if it is indeed a geocache. It is the oddest looking geocache container I've 
ever seen if that is what it is.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

   I got a very strange look from a Gray Jay on Friday.  I was getting 
ready to do the dishes so gave them bits of this and that for a treat.  
A little popcorn, some oatmeal, a little rice, a heel of bread, and some 
beans.  The beans were what gained me the look.  I had made them with 
three fresh, sliced jalapeños. There is just no accounting for tastes :)


   Twenty meters was long again.  As I was looking for an open 
frequency I heard W1AET very well from Georgia.  There was also a lot of 
noise on it.  Forty meters only had a few "whistlers" pass through but 
was fairly quiet in comparison.



   On 17049.5 kHz at 2300z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

AB9V - Mike - IN

K6XK - Roy - IA

K4JPN - Steve - GA


   On 7044.5 kHz at 0100z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

K6PJV - Dale - CA

K7TV - Erik - AZ


   From all the weather reports I received it appears the cold snap is 
moving out of the Midwest and South.  Folks in the Northeast are still 
rather chilly.  Makes this a good time of year to sit next to the fire 
in front of your Elecraft rig working a new one.


   Until next week 73,

   Kevin. KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] Strange thing.

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Have you been operating the K3S using CAT control from an application or 
logging program?   I've found when terminating some programs or the 
computer or radio, during the shut down sequence, things change.     
Otherwise, values are not as you normally use them or as you left them 
the previous night.


I always first close the application, turn off the radio, turn off the 
power supply, and shut down the computer.  My start up procedure is just 
the  opposite.  Computer on, power supply on, radio on, open the 
application.

Bob, K4TAX

Has anyone had this problem?

Geocaching ethics require landowner permission before 
establishing a cache. Of course, not everyone does that.

If the tree is in your yard, remove the device and saw it open.
However, if the tree is NOT in your yard, remove the device and saw it 
open.


Eventually somebody will come looking for it, possibly accompanied by 
the local sheriff.

Adafruit had some nice 12V displays. Most of them are HDMI which 
may be a problem. They change what they have frequently and it's 
been a while since I last looked.

[Elecraft] Thanks to all for many great suggestions about a PTT Switch

[Dauer, Edward]

Following Kevin Stover’s and Don Wilhelm’s advice – a normally open push button 
mounted in a film can or in a Sharpie cap respectively --  I have settled on 
fitting a button switch into a tennis ball . . . .

If I drop it, it might come right back
With their usual vile green color it’ll be hard to lose track 
of on the operating desk
Squeezing the ball in between button presses would be good hand 
exercise
With a little dexterity and the right placement of the right 
size button it could be used as either a hand switch or a foot switch
   It would give the operator and the dog something to do when the band 
goes dead
   
   And, the housing of the switch would be free --

I live about three blocks from a municipal tennis court.  Suitable candidates 
for a PTT switch body abound on the surrounding sidewalks.  I guess the players 
around here really aren’t very good.

Cheers,

Ted, KN1CBR

Re: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

[Brian Hunt]

I use my old J-38 straight key wired to a RCA plug that goes into the PTT jack 
on the rear of the K3. The advantage is that you don't have to pick it up to 
use it or put it down to type. Easy to wire up too. Buy an audio cable, lop off 
one connector, dress the leads out and connect them to the key binding posts. 

BTW, have you considered using VOX in the contest?  Completely hands free.

Re: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Also available from Digikey ...

 



You might consider ED913 or E913 which are less expensive than the
ED903.

Ed;

It is easier than fabricating switch bodies. Mouser has several candidates - 
look at their 502-ED903. It is a nice hand-held switch in a comfortable case, 
costing about $12. Add wire and appropriate plug (mine has a phono plug for the 
K3) and you can build a very nice PTT switch for less than $20.

They also have a new assembly with cable attached for a bit more - something 
like $160. I don;’t recommend that…

Get a round body pushbutton switch, then look around for something to 
contain it which feels comfortable in your hand - the cap from a Sharpie 
marker or the body of a fat ballpoint pen come to mind.  Drill a hole in 
the far end if there is not sufficient opening to pass the wires, and 
put whatever plug on it that fits your transceiver PTT jack.

If the pushbutton does not stay with friction, glue it in with E6000 
cement, or epoxy or whatever works to keep it in place.

If you don't have such materials available, the cost is much smaller 
than buying a commercial pushbutton PTT switch.  The switch and 1/4 inch 
plug can be found at Mouser - choose economy shipping unless you have 
other parts to order.

Re: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

[Jack Brindle]

Ed;

It is easier than fabricating switch bodies. Mouser has several candidates - 
look at their 502-ED903. It is a nice hand-held switch in a comfortable case, 
costing about $12. Add wire and appropriate plug (mine has a phono plug for the 
K3) and you can build a very nice PTT switch for less than $20. 

They also have a new assembly with cable attached for a bit more - something 
like $160. I don;’t recommend that…

[Elecraft] Strange thing.

[Mal Speer]

I strange thing happened to my K3s this morning. Both the mic gain and
compression were set to 0. After trying to get into a net, and not being
heard, I discovered the problem. I did not touch any settings from the last
time I used the rig, which was yesterday afternoon.

Has anyone had this problem?

Re: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

I have tried hand switches and always found the need to use that hand also,  
Darn.  So I built up a simple foot switch with a "hinge"  Yes a door hinge and 
put a micro switch on the bottom with a simple flexible cable about 10' long to 
the radio.  KISS and not bulky.

I rolled my own using a small microswitch from my junk box. No larger than a

Cost almost nothing and works better than any other I have used.  Force to 
operate is small so no fatigue.

Re: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3 - postscript

[Walter Underwood]

I wired up my own using this hand switch.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T6RCGNC

I think Heil sells a hand PTT switch. 

Foot switches are pretty popular, too. I don’t have one, but I’ve seen 
recommendations on this list.
