[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevin]

Good Evening,

   Both bands had low noise which is not a good sign.  Normally that 
means weak signals, which was the case today.  Twenty meters was hard 
but forty meters was worse.  Nevertheless, it was good hearing you all.  
Not many conversations, just signal and weather reports, along with one 
moving story :)


   I wasn't sure if there would be anyone at all on either band. When I 
checked them an hour before each net I heard very few signals.  Twenty 
meters had a few DXers way down low and one SKCC CQer higher up the 
band.  Forty meters had a few storms with some traffic being handled 
midway up the band.



  On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

AB9V - Mike - IN

K4JPN - Steve - GA

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

K6XK - Roy - IA


  On 7047.5 kHz at z:

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

WM5F - Dwight - ID


   Until next week 73,

  Kevin.

[Elecraft] going back in time with the K1

[brianpepperdine brianpepperdine]

I have had a K1 here for some time now and it did not get a lot of 
attention.

I was not all that happy with how fast it tuned.
Well.. anyhow last week I had extra time on my hands so pulled out some 
of the neglected rigs.

Found the K1 was a good rig.. made decent contacts.
But I did find I needed to exercise 'safe cracker' fingers for the 
tuning... once I did that there was not a big issue.
The other thing I did was find one of the few wire coat hangers in our 
house (most hangers were nicer ones with padding, or wood etc.as  to not 
crease etc the  clothing)... cut the hanger as per instructions for DIY 
bail stand that have been on the Elecraft mail listwell I did it 
best I could via the written guide lines (no photo available).. and 
'VIOLA'  and Bob is your uncle as they say --- I had a nice bail stand 
mounted on the K1 so I could see the display and knobs and not have to 
stare at it from desk surface level...HI.

[Elecraft] 40 meter 7.280 Sunday net, 1900Z

[Steve Hall]

Pretty bad static crashes at this end today.
Just returned from Huntsville Hamfest and had a great time.
Spent some time talking to Eric Swartz in the Elecraft booth.  Good to see
him again.  Sorry to hear that Elecraft is pulling out of the Virtual
Hamfest coming up online.
Huntsville Ham Club goes all out for their hospitality suite.  Enjoyed
meeting so many nice hams.

Re: [Elecraft] [BVARC] Elecraft P3 BLACK SCREEN but not DEAD

No, not hot. But where did you find it?

I had the same problem with mine a while ago. The problem was with the
3.3-volr regulator module. It would get very hot and stop working after a
few minutes. There are two regulator modules on the input board. A 5-volt
and a 3.3-volt. They are the thick, black, edge-mounted things on the board.
If you have the same problem,  one of them will be very hot after a few
minutes. I replaced mine with a different type and it solved the issue. 

 

The module is a Rolm BP5220A and is no longer available. I did find one in
Taiwan, but I had already used a substitute.

 

Calls to the factory were of little help. 

 

Let me know if this is helpful.

Subject: [BVARC] Elecraft P3 BLACK SCREEN but not DEAD

 

My P3 screen has gone black. When I plug in the power, I still hear some
very quiet relay click.  Any quick ideas?

 

Full disclosure: I suffered a voltage spike some time ago which took out my
K3 some time ago (it is at Elecraft now); P3 still operated but the POWER
switch no longer worked, i.e. it was on all the time whenever power was
applied. (I am borrowing a K3 from a very, very good friend).

 

Does anyone work on P3's besides Elecraft?
