[Elecraft] Operating note regarding the K4's "Noise Pulse Rejection" feature
Thanks to some timely input from NC0B, we found an issue with the present implementation the K4's noise pulse rejection mechanism. When it's set to ON, it may induce gain and S-meter variations under certain noise conditions. (Otherwise, it does an excellent job of suppression large impulses due to appliance power switching, etc. In fact we call it the "Sherwood Pulse Detector" here at Elecraft Hq, because the original idea came from Rob.) For now I'd recommend setting it to OFF. We're working on a solution. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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] Are there any "bad radios"?
"Tell them politely and hope they listen, but most will just continue." That's not my experience. Several times I have emailed screen shots showing dirty digital mode signals and offered to help resolve the problem. In most case the operator was pleased to have been notified and fixed the problem. 73, Andy, k3wyc __ 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] Price for s/h KX1
I have a KX1 (40/30/20) with built in ATU. Someone is interested in buying it, but I have no idea of how much it's worth. Can anyone give me an idea of how much I could ask for it? 73, Paul EI5KI __ 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
