Re: [Elecraft] K2 versus K3 specs

2022-07-14 Thread Ron Freeman
I really enjoy my K2/100.  I use it weekly for CWT’s, MST’s & SST’s with N1MM+. 
 I usually operate the tests barefoot but sometimes run a KPA1500 with the K2.

The shift/width controls are not as versatile as my K3S but I don’t need em for 
the 1 hr CW tests.  Computer control of the K2 and K3s is essentially the same.

I built the K2/100 myself and, as Wayne said, there is some additional 
fulfillment when using a radio that you assembled yourself.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and Accessories For Sale

2017-05-02 Thread Ron Freeman
I have an Elecraft K3/100-F for sale-the radio is factory assembled and I'm
the original owner. The radio is in excellent cosmetic condition and has
never been operated out of the shack, around pets or smoke.

 

I recently shipped the radio to Elecraft for migration to a K3S, updates and
a checkout. The radio was returned yesterday and is in a sealed box.  A
letter from Elecraft, dated 24 April 17, states the radio "meets or exceeds
all factory specifications".  Elecraft options and/or updates include the
following:

 

1. KPA3-F: Antenna Tuner

2. KXV3B-F: RX Ant, IF Out (for P3), Pre-Amps & Transverter Interface (The
upgraded board used in the K3S).

3. KSYN3AUPGD-F: Synthesizer board (The upgraded board used in the K3S).

4. 250hz CW Filter.

5. Numerous minor Elecraft installed and documented updates too numerous to
list including the "KPOD Ready" modification that provides power to the KPOD
via the RJ45 Jack on the bottom panel.

 

The firm price is $2,000 plus shipping.

 

I also have available a PR6 pre-amplifier (replaced by the new KX3VB-F
above), the original K3 synthesizer and KX3VA interface boards.  

 

Finally, available for sale is a MicroHam Micro KEYER MKII, DB37 cable and
other related accessories including keypad and iLink cable for the SteppIR
controller.   This equipment is also in excellent condition-I'm the original
owner. Please inquire regarding pricing.

[Elecraft] K3 & 3 amps

2015-08-15 Thread Ron Freeman
My K3 key line runs to a Radio Shack breakout box that connects  3 amplifiers, 
including a legal limit 6M unit,  that are selected via a mechanical switch.  I 
believe I could have simply divided the  Key line via two Y connectors to the 
amps directly and skipped the breakout box  if only only one Amp was powered up 
at a time.

Several weeks ago I sent my K3, #1665, back to Elecraft for production
updates since Oct '08.  My K3 was factory assembled and has most options.
Elecraft Service, Rene K6XA, did an excellent job.  The radio now equals or
exceeds current production specifications and is essentially new again.  It
was obviously handled with care and returned in the same cosmetic condition
as sent.  I believe the cost for this service was very reasonable-I couldn't
be more satisfied.
