[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, The snow is no longer in the trees. It has all fallen after pruning the forest. A few small trees are down, a few large tops, lots of branches, thousands of cones, and millions of fir needles. A good supply of lichen is on the snow attracting the deer. Squirrels are busy processing the cones. The sun is active with a new crop of sunspots. The sunspot number is below 100 but some of them have mixed magnetic fields. Those are always interesting. A few glancing CMEs during the week and another due quite soon. I expect a variety of types of QSB. Please join us on (or near): 14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday) 7047 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday) 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - It is a cold winter, Away is the songbird. And gone is her traveler, She waits at home. The sun is on holiday, No leaves on the trees. The animals sleep While cold North wind blows. The snowflakes are falling, The roof a white blanket. There's ice on the window pane, She waits alone. She sits by the fireside, The room is so warm. Her children are sleeping, She waits in their home. __ 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

Hi all! I’m looking for the KXUSB cable for the KAT500. It’s the one that’s USB on one end and 3.5mm stereo on the other. Does anyone have a working cable for sale please?

[Elecraft] Inrad 700 Hz & 6K filters
Recently located two eight-pole K3 / K3s filters in my cupboard (as I continue to look for items to help pay for recently unexpectedly car repairs). The first is a 700 Hz 8 pole CW filter that was custom-designed by the folks at Unpcbs, and built by Inrad, Not many of these out there; $125/shipped. The other, a KFL3A-6K is useful for AM / ESSB; $115/shipped. Both filters are in like-new shape.

Re: [Elecraft] IF OUT - Same as just sharing the antenna?
The K3's IF OUT bandwidth is limited only by the front-end RF filters so it covers an entire amateur band, plus. That is handy for a panadapter because it is always centered on the VFO A frequency. The IF center frequency is 8.215 MHz. Alan N1AL On 3/9/2024 11:04 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: It's around 8.15 MHz.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Number
Hi Harold, The K2 serial number is on an adhesive tag to be placed on the lower rear panel of the radio. It was in a very small manila envelope in my K2 kit. I don't believe there is any internal coding of the MCU that contains the rig's serial number as there is in the K3. 73, Mike, K8CN __ 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

Harold, you should have received a sticker to be affixed to the rear connector panel.
