[Elecraft] New K3/100 P3 Owner

2012-04-12 Thread William Wallace 

Hello Folks,

Well the UPS truck finally stopped passing by my QTH today!  He finally stopped 
today and gave me a well packaged box containing a K3/100 kit and a P3 kit.  Oh 
happy day!  K3/100 serial number 6396 and P3 serial number 2033.  After opening 
the package I began the easy (?) task (so I thought) of inventorying all the 
pieces of the kits.   I've got to tell you, all those little screws, nut, 
washers, etc looked a hell of a lot larger on my 27-inch iMac screen (PDF 
documentation) than they are in real life!  I can see a big need for a small 
magnetic screwdriver in my future.  I'll decide after I complete assembly of 
these two kits but I'm already leaning heavily toward factory assembly for my 
KPA-500 when the time comes

[Elecraft] Headset/Mic Question

2012-04-09 Thread William Wallace 
Hello all,

New to this reflector.  Waiting for my K3/100  P3 kits to arrive.
I want to use a Yamaha CM-500 boom set with my K3 but think
I should ask if anyone else has experience using this combination.
There must be a connection adapter used between the boom set
and the K3 mic connector, correct?  Any recommendations and/or 
comments welcomed.  I know W2ENY
http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3rys4/adapter/ 
makes/sells an adapter, anyone using one of these?
