[Elecraft] OT: Surgery on female N-connector

[Erik Basilier]

My apologies for going far OT here. Any replies direct only please.
I am trying to fix the broken N connector on a surplus 100W dummy load, RELM
T44004.
The female part has lost 2 of its 4 fingers, and needs to be replaced. The
connector has a standard size square flange with 4 screws. (This is *not*
the same as the larger square flange of the interchangeable Bird
connectors). On the back is a custom part that connects to the load
resistor. It seems to be crimped to the female N part. My hope is that I
will be able to separate these parts and attach the custom part to a new
N-female part. The combo slides out easily from the teflon insulator. The
first task is to obtain a new N-female part, preferably gold-plated. Taking
a hacksaw to a barrel female-female, or elbow male-female seems like a lot
of work. Even getting the center connector out of a chassis mount N female
might take some work, but seems easier. My junk box is heavy with N
connectors, but to my surprise I couldn't find a single chassis mount N
female. My question to the group: Has anyone attempted to get the center
part out from a female N connector? Was a particular brand of N connector
especially easy to work on? 
Thanks in advance for any tips.
73,
Erik K7TV

[Elecraft] FS: Brand new KRC2ACC

[Doug Shields]

Hello everyone,

 I have a freshly built KRC2 band decoder for sale.  It was just
completed and tests out fine.  It includes the Accessibility Upgrade that
announces functions in Morse code.  It will come in the original Elecraft
box, with original manuals, power cord,  and everything received with the
kit.  It is of course in excellent condition having only check out time
since completion.  $110.00 shipped to any US destination.

 

Doug  W4DAS

[Elecraft] KAT500 vs KAT3 High SWR Ability

[James Bennett via Elecraft]

Recently assembled a KPA500 / KAT500 pair and hooked ‘em up to my 2010 K3. I’m 
wondering what the capability of the KAT500 is versus that KAT3 internal K3 
tuner, as far as what each will match. 

I ask this because the KAT500 does a horrible job on 17 meter. The best if can 
do is about 2.3:1, whereas the K3 internal tuner has no difficulty getting a 
1.0:1 match on the same antenna.

The antenna I use is an 88 foot long doublet 45 feet high. It is fed with about 
110 feet of 600-ohm ladder line. At the shack end is a Balun Designs 4:1 balun, 
and from there to the back of the KAT500 is about ten feet of Belden 9913.

Is the KAT500 less capable of matching ugly SWR levels than the KAT3?

[Elecraft] KUSB cable required

[Len]

Hello Elecrafter’s.  Do any of you have a spare KUSB cable that they would like 
to sell me?  I have gone through all my accessory drawers, behind my desk, and 
equipment boxes.  I cannot program any of my K-line without it!  Tnx and best

[Elecraft] OT: Additional on antenna charge ...

[Ken G Kopp]

My open wire fed 1/2 wave 80M Zepp has an RF choke from each feeder leg to
the station ground.

Hint: Flashing copper sheared from the long side of a 4 x 8 foot sheet at
your local metal supply in 1 or 2 inch widths is ideal for equipment
grounding.  Use 1/4 - 20 brass hardware with wing-nuts for connecting flat
braid runs to equipment.

Re: [Elecraft] Avoiding costly lightning damage to your radios gear

[Fred Jensen]

Yep, all true.  The somewhat insidious thing about precip static is that 
it can be totally innocuous, unlike T-storms, lightning strikes, and the 
like.  We hadn't even noted that it had begun snowing, fairly hard, 
outside the tent, when the first rx quit.  The "frying bacon" and the 
tiny little "grass" on the baseline of the panadapter should have been a 
clue to "look outside" to a bunch of OF's with that much accumulated 
experience ... sadly it wasn't.  OTOH, QRN from multiple distant 
T-storms is just that ... annoying noise in the receiver with no danger. 
Likewise with power line hash.  Of all the forms of QRN, and excluding a 
lightning strike [which is hard to ignore], precip static can be the 
most dangerous to equipment and go unrecognized by new folk [and a 
handful of OT's].


In this age with a dearth of Elmers standing next to you, that function 
seems to have migrated to email lists like this one, various fora, and 
various wiki's.  I don't think they can replace W6RMK, with my latest 
electronic creation [usually a TX] on his bench, explaining how the grid 
of the PA rectifies some of the RF waveform and charges a capacitor that 
slowly leaks off through an appropriately named "grid leak" resistor. [:-)

The source may be wind blowing on your antenna, rain or snow that 
carries charged particles, or nearby lightning.  No matter what the

does not take a direct lightning hit to produce damaging voltages on 
your antenna feedline.  A direct hit can cause damage to house and

the accumulated static voltage on any feedline can cause damage to 
your ham equipment.


I recall an event many years ago when I got that lesson.  I had 
several antennas in the basement shack unterminated and just waiting 
to be connected.  The wind was blowing and I thought nothing of it 
until I picked up an open feedline and placed it near my Heathkit

the chassis!  That was a warning to me - disconnect and ground all my 
feedlines when not in use.  If not grounded, at least a bleed resistor 
across the feedlines to discharge any built up static.

Re: [Elecraft] Avoiding costly lightning damage to your radios gear

[K8TE]

With 26 years experience in USAF communications and even more in commercial
broadcasting, I disconnect all wire inputs to my station's components when
the threat of thunderstorms arises.  If planned well, this is easy to
accomplish.  I have made significant money repairing commercial broadcast
transmitters which were installed properly but still suffered damage during
direct hits to their antennas.  That damage was very rare, but still
occurred.

I disconnect my DSL router's wall wart and phone line inputs along with
antenna, rotator control, and other cables that enter through the single
point protected/bonded/grounded panel.  That has worked every time!  If
lightning comes within ten miles, I disconnect.  If away from home, all my
valuable electronics are disconnected.  I do the same for snow storms which
with blowing wind also generate significant static electricity.

Why take the chance?  If I were to run a remote system, like my race car, I
would be ready to walk away from either in spite of taking appropriate
preventive measures and accept the loss.

73, Bill, K8TE

[Elecraft] KAT500-F Available

Earlier this year I upgraded from the KPA500/KAT500 combo to a KPA1500.  The 
KPA500 was sold to a local that already had a KAT500.  As a result my KAT500-F 
has been orphaned.
If anyone is interested contact me off list.  My QRZ.com info is good.

[Elecraft] KXPD2 Extra Spring?

[Lou Voerman W2ROW]

I just received a new KXPD2 paddle from Elecraft. In the envelope was a
loose, extra spring with no documentation as to its purpose. Does anyone
know if the extra spring is the same as the original or is it some kind of
tension adjustment like the three different springs that came with the
KXPD3?

Also there are now two allen screws per paddle one to set the adjustment and
one to lock it in. All the documentation I could find showed only the one
adjustment screw per paddle.

I did email Elecraft support about the spring but no answer yet.

Thanks,
Lou   W2ROW
