Re: [Elecraft] SKN: What a Long, Strange Trip...
Eric Norris writes: How far this tiny California company has come in 20 years is just incredible. Not to even mention the KX2 and KX3, and all the other stuff. I worked a bunch of SKN stations with my KX2. Among those QSOs included a Heathkit HW-101 and DX-40, a Drake TR7, and an ARC-5 transmitter. They all had a distinctive hum and chirp that drifted about 1KHz down the band by the end of the QSO. About ran out of RIT range. Fun, and a nostalgic reminder what most rigs sounded like "back in the day." How spoiled we are with today's rock solid rigs, stable DDS frequency control, sensitive receivers, and the benefits of SDR, filtering, IF shift, etc. Not to mention no longer a sturdy table to contain your Collins S-line, power supplies, antenna tuners, etc. Nobody would have imagined 30 years ago the performance and size of today's K3S, KX3 and KX2. Elecraft has definitely led much of the innovation we now enjoy in our hobby. Such kudos are indeed well deserved. 72, Paul NA5N __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] SKN: What a Long, Strange Trip...
This year for SKN, I left the tube radios in their racks, and went with an HW-8, KX1, K1, K2, and K3. After just having watched the in-depth K4 interview with Eric at Elecraft's European Distributor, and having had a personal tour of the K4 by Eric at Pacificon, my mind is blown. Really blown. How far this tiny California company has come in 20 years is just incredible. Not to even mention the KX2 and KX3, and all the other stuff. Well done, Elecraft, long may you thrive. 73 Eric WD6DBM __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Time Date Update
K3 Utility should not be used through an intervening virtual port. Instead close the virtual port and connect using the real COM port. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/1/2020 11:19 AM, Larry (K8UT) wrote: Is there any way to open the com port to the radio at a specific baud rate, rather than the utility's baud rate trolling method?

[Elecraft] K4 New Years Surprise?
Hey Guys, The day is not over yet, wouldn't a New Years Day reveal be fun? On a more serious note, has it been revealed yet what resolution the built in display will have? I am in the market and all the other radios in this class seem to have quite low pixel densities. And most of those have the display outputs at the same very low resolutions.

Re: [Elecraft] Time Date Update
My RTC rolled over to 2020 at Midnite UTC (I have the clock set to UTC) and the clock was only 10 seconds fast. I'm lucky my clock is pretty accurate. That 10 second error was from when I first set it several years ago, shortly after I got my K3S. The K3 I had before that was never very accurate and would lose 10 seconds a week. This one surprised me.
