[Elecraft] K4 mail filter for Thunderbird

[Jim McCook]

I have saved URLs to 10 reflectors, but always have opted _OUT of Email_ 
from all of them.  The saved links are to their _archives_ only, viewing 
by thread.  Some, like the Elecraft reflector and all the groups.io 
lists, are continuous.  Other archives for lists like CQ-Contest, RFI 
list, etc. require changing the month in the saved URL when a new month 
appears.  Not a big problem... takes only seconds each month.


This way I just click on the bookmarked URL for the reflector that I'm 
interested in and view the threads.  I probably view 10% or less of all 
the posts on the Elecraft reflector.  I can't imagine actually getting 
Email from all the posts or having to set up filters for new ones that 
appear that I'm not interested in viewing.  It makes these reflectors 
light years easier to manage as compared to getting all those emails!


73, Jim

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

[Tim Tucker]

I'd be up for that. The KX3 is my favorite radio.  After I got the KX2 and
started enjoying its internal Li-ion battery pack, I realized that the
KX3's internal NiMH battery charger is its worst feature.  I too never use
it anymore and have just switched to a small, external LifePO4 pack.

[Elecraft] Saving/Sharing Macros

[Ed Kuebert]

I would like to share my K3s macros with my son. In the K3 utility I click on 
the save button, but cannot find the file. Are they stored in a file I can copy 
and send to him or do I have to make a screen shot or copy and paste to a text 
file.? Perhaps someone has found a better method. Thanks for your help.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Issue with HI CUR on 12m

[Bill Coleman]

Curious. I’m doing a lot of antenna work right now. I had to remove my 
12/17/30m trap inverted V to get my beam off the tower. 

In the meantime, I’m making due with a 20/40/80m trap dipole. 

If I use 12m on the 20/40/80m dipole using a tuner, I’m not having any HI CUR 
issues, even when running 100 watts.

I think what I’m seeing is an RF in the shack issue. The 20/40/80m antenna feed 
point is about 70 feet further away than the old 12/17/30m antenna.

 I don’t remember seeing this before. After the KSYNC3A install, I ran the

 I’m still seeing this problem. What causes HI CUR at 85 watts? The K3 
 ought to be able to produce over 110 watts on 12m.
 
 I’m not seeing this issue on other bands.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

[Bill Frantz]

I also always carry a LiFePo4 when I go portable with my KX3.

I'd be interested in moving a LiFePO4 battery into the case and 
removing the NiMH Eneloops that don't seem to provide enough 
voltage or last long enough.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

[Paul Chesloff]

Great idea, count me in!  

At first I thought “The new KXBC3a should be backward compatible to NiMH 
cells”.  Then I realized “Who would want to go back”?  Then for safety reasons 
make it impossible to “accidentally“ connect the LiFePo4 battery pack to a 
KXBC3.

[Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

[Steve KC6ZKT]

The KX3 is my favorite of my HF radios right now. But one of my 
annoyances is the internal battery limitations.


I always wind up carrying an external 6_Ah or 10_Ah LiFePo4 battery into 
the field when I use this radio, an external charge controller, and 
solar panel. It's not a big problem, but it also should not be a big 
project to improve this situation. The KXBC3 has enough real estate to 
include a lithium battery charger, and even a solar charge controller in 
its space. The amount of battery energy that could fit in-place of the 
NiMH cells could approximately triple the capacity of the AA cells.


So I have these questions:

1) How many of you out there might buy an upgrade which replaces the 
KXBC3 board with a lithium battery manager, and a associated battery pack?


2) Are there any 3rd parties already making anything like this?

Re: [Elecraft] Mod: Improving Temperature Stability of K2

Doug,

Do the K2ATOBKT first, and where those instructions indicate, do the 
BFOMDKT and the other auxiliary kits.  That will synchronize them for you.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 mail filter for Thunderbird

[Gwen Patton]

I just use GMail. I scroll through my emails and look at the subject. If it
has something in it I don't want to read, I check the box at the left.
After I go through all of them that way (not even opening them yet), I
click the "mark as read" button. All the marked emails get moved out of my
inbox to the "read" portion. They aren't gone, I can go back and read any
of them if I want to, but I don't have to read them NOW. I go to the bottom
of my remaining unread emails, open the last one, and read it. Then I hit
the arrow at the top right, and move to the next email. Lather, rinse,
repeat.

Not all that hard.

If there is something that pops up frequently, I create a filter for it,
and just mark it as read. On rare occasions, I make a folder and send the
offenders to Coventry. Other than that, I read pretty much everything else.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 mail filter for Thunderbird

[Fred Jensen]

T-bird works super ... mine sorts my mail into various folders and even 
sub folders.  It seems that enough people put the Elecraft model number 
in the subject line that virtually all mail related to that item goes to 
the right folder.  I've found that using the message body is somewhat 
less reliable as someone may drop a "K4" into an email relating to a 
K3.  I'm sure most other email clients can do this as well including web 
mail clients.  I recommend you concentrate on the subject line and keep 
it simple.


I have also filtered a few "from" addresses directly to trash because 
the emails are often argumentative, political, or otherwise unfriendly.  
That doesn't happen much on this list.

Have you tried something called Mailwasher. I can set it up with

Re: [Elecraft] K4 mail filter for Thunderbird

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Easy with Thunderbird,

Make a filter for your incoming mail - If the subject line contains K4, 
move it to whichever folder you would like.


That will work as long as everyone puts 'K4' in the subject line.  For 
the rest, you will have to use the Delete key.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 mail filter for Thunderbird

[Steve KC6ZKT]

I use Thunderbird on some of my machines, Apple Mail on others.

Because Apple Mail leaves even much more to be desired than Thunderbird, 
I was using procmail on my ISP's server to do all of my filtering to 
mailboxes. Later, the authors stopped maintaining it, and I switched to 
a similar, more up-to-date tool. I recommend that you ask your ISP what 
they have installed. If they're running Linux, then they might have 
Pigeonhole [ https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org ] available.


It's much cleaner to do all of the filtering at my mailbox, rather than 
on each desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone I might want to access it from.

[Elecraft] QSK Master T/R switch and K3S

[Eric Norris]

I have pulled my old QSK Master off the shelf for use with a K3S, KAT500,
and AL-811H.  This is the solid-state version, not the vacuum relay version
of the QSK Master.

My question is this:  should I strap the QSK M for 2ms hold time after ptt
release, or 8ms--and should I change the delay setting from 8ms in the K3S
menu?

QSK 811as!!  The mind reels.  Thanks for the help.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Power Supply Recommendation

[john]

I also have a Powerwerx SS30DV but I just use it only when I travel to  
the caribbean with my K3S. I home I use an Astron 70 amp linear power  
supply. This is obviously oversized but it was in my shack for a  
decades before buying an Elecraft transceiver. If weight is not an  
issue I would look at the Astron linear power supplies.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Power Supply Recommendation

[Bayard Coolidge, N1HO via Elecraft]

 The power system for my K3/P3 consists of a large SLA AGM battery that is 
float-charged froma West Mountain Radio PGS-40 and an Astron RS-25, which I 
adjusted to 14.2V to accommodatethe drop through the wiring, the PGS-40 and the 
RigRunner. This has kept things very quiet for me,and also keeps me on the air 
through any AC power interruptions, and I use it at both my primaryQTH in south 
Florida as well as my summer residence in western NC. This should fit your 
budget.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Power Supply Recommendation

[Hank via Elecraft]

Assuming the K4 likes a little extras voltage like the K3S (14.2VDC for mine), 
I have been running an Astron RM-50 linear for 10 years or so and would 
recommend it or the 35 amp version.  I modified the voltage sense circuit to 
follow the voltage at the rear of the K3s to help with voltage drop around a 
power gate.  The only time it has been off was for the modification and if the 
AC power fails.

It powers all of my station accessories with a little room to spare.

The power werx switching supply is also on the bench - bought it before my K3s 
for VHF/UHF radios.  It has been repaired once for the choke on the input power 
lead - it failed and made terrible broadband noise.  It is 6 years old.  It has 
a little higher ripple than the Astron - always has.  Probably not a big deal 
though.

My $0.02.

Re: [Elecraft] Pennies?

[George Danner]

Neil,
When I bought my K3 in 2008 and later on when I added the rest of the
K-Line, I bought kits. Did the same for my KX3 and KXPA.
They were not bought to save dollars but to familiarize myself with the
equipment.
I bought a fairly bare K3-100 - only added the tuner. As time went by I
added all but the TXO and then added some K3s stuff - new synthesizers and
USB interface. Starting with a kit made all of the upgrades a non-event,
even when I had to remove the front panel.

My recollection is that the difference in cost was minimal (a few percent).
My guess was that the cost of not assembling an Elecraft is mostly offset
by the additional packaging and instructions for the kit end user.

I'm probably going to make a K4 my final radio as a 80th birthday present
in a year or two!

Re: [Elecraft] K4 sound card capability

[David Woolley]

As there is not even a block diagram published, I don't know the answer, 
but ideally one would not want baseband analogue audio anywhere in the 
path, so one would not want a sound card, integrated or not, but rather 
direct access to a digital feed from the DSP.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Pricing Posted

[Mike VE3YF]

Hi:

I fully concur, when you look at the prices we paid for the K3/K3S and 
all those extras, the current price of the K4D seems like a good price 
to me. Sure hoping that my K4D will arrive before Xmas. Only time will 
tell, it will be almost a year since I purchased the K4D. Fingers are 
getting itchy, so much that I went out and bought a couple of those 
stylus pens just for the rig.
