Re: [Elecraft] Parts swappers -- is this a real "thing"
Tony: I think it’s just an excuse that some hams use for saying they won’t accept returns. I’m sure it’s happened on rare occasions, but I’ve bought and sold a lot gear on qth.com, and a few other places, over the years and I’ve found the vast majority of hams to be honest. I have dealt with a few scammers, but that’s a different issue. They are invariably non-hams who are posing as hams. In all the time I’ve engaged in online trading of ham gear, I’ve only run into one dishonest ham, but he seemed to be suffering from some kind of mental disorder. If you insist on being paid via PayPal you’ll be protected. That’s my two cents worth. — 73 de Carl Sent from my iPhone == Carl Jón Denbow, N8VZ 17 Coventry Lane Athens, Ohio 45701-3718 c...@n8vz.com www.n8vz.com EM89wh IRLP 4533 Echolink 116070 POTA on SSB and digital modes === > On Oct 29, 2021, at 9:33 AM, Anthony Wanschura wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've seen a few K3 For Sale ads that mention "parts swappers".

[Elecraft] Strange behavior of K3 on FT8
Dear OM or YL: Today I did a successful POTA activation using my K3. I usually use a smaller, lower wattage rig, but decided recently to use the K3 portable. I've used the K3 for POTA activation three times before this week -- but all on SSB. Today, I used FT8. I first was on 20M and everything was quite normal. Then I switched to 30M, and I was hearing nothing and friend who I was texting who lives fairly close to the park wasn't seeing my CQs. I had the MODE set to DATA. The friend suggested I switch to USB mode, and lo and below I started seeing signals on my screen and completed several QSOs. I had used DATA mode on 20M and it worked FB. I also later used DATA mode on 40M. Why didn't DATA mode work on 30M? Is there some setting where I have to declare USB or LSB for each band separately for DATA mode? All of this seems very strange to me. I used my K3 before for data modes in the shack, and I don't recall this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- 73 de Carl N8VZ -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ 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] K2 #7997 is alive
I'm 20 years late to the game but I finally built a K2. What a satisfying project to build, and a delightful rig to operate. It doesn't have all the performance and features of my fully-updated K3, but it's a great little radio nonetheless. I finished the final alignment and test Tuesday and have used it a couple evenings now. Now to build the SSB adapter and the 100 W amp. 73, Carl WS7L __ 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] Another way to pass time waiting for my K4 - building a K2
I was late getting in the queue -- I ordered it after I flew home on the Tuesday after Dayton 2019. It'll be interesting to see when it comes and what serial number I get. So I bought a K2 and am now building it. I was on the verge of doing that in 2007 when the K3 was announced so I built the K3 instead. The K2's time has finally come. I just got to the first test stage. I don't know what I'll do with it once it's built. Sell it, keep it as a loaner for new HF ops in one of my clubs, who knows? I love the smell of rosin in the morning. 73 and thanks for listening -- Carl WS7L __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 power per frequency bin
Regardless of how it would have to be implemented, Hank hit the nail squarely on the head here. As I go up and down the band (especially low bands where the antennas are skinny and every increment of power is to be treasured) I have to either dial back my power when the KPA ATU is working harder, or accept lowered power on those frequencies where the ATU is loafing. It may be too late for the K3, but Elecraft software guys, please figure out how to make the K4 and KPA1500 talk to each other and make this happen.

[Elecraft] KPA3 in K3S mostly not working
When I get my K4 (hopefully May . . .), I currently plan to send in my K3S for repair. I have already talked with support. The symptoms are: 1) In transmit mode, no power when raising the power above 11 watts. This happens about 90% of the time. So the 100w amp is not totally gone. 2) In receive mode, sound drops considerably when raising the power above 11 watts. This is, of course, coincident with the 100w amp failing. I haven’t found anything that causes the amp to come and go. Seems random. In can be OK while sending and the suddenly fail. Also, the transmit calibration fails. Anyone have this problem? Is there a “fix” without sending in the rig? 73, Carl Yaffey K8NU cyaffey at gmail.com 614 268 6353, Columbus OH http://www.carl-yaffey.com http://www.grassahol.com http://www.bluesswing.com Https://www.columbusfolkmusicsociety.org http://www.timbrewolves.carl-yaffey.com http://www.folkramblers.carl-yaffey.com Http:www.clintonvillegrass.com __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] Wayne and his company...
Let me add that both Wayne and Eric are men of great integrity, and have developed a "corporate culture" that places honesty as a key component. I had a situation a few years ago that demonstrates this. I had a piece of Elecraft gear that was having serious problems but was out of warranty. It had a long track record of problems going back several years. This is a very convoluted and unusual history that I will refrain from going into. I wanted to send the unit back in and have it fixed and asked that it be treated as a warranty repair. I emailed Wayne and Eric directly (something you can't do at most other ham radio companies), and in a long email related the very long and sordid history of this piece of equipment, with proper documentation. They agreed to my request. I sent the equipment back to the mother ship. Now, comes the truly amazing part of the story, when the tech examined the equipment he noted not a bad part, but two "missing parts." This was a factory assembled unit! Now, how many companies would admit that they had shipped a unit with "missing parts." They might report that in an internal memo, but in a message to the customer? I was impressed! Once these missing parts were installed (two resistors, if I remember correctly), the unit has worked flawless since. Last year at Dayton I personally commended Wayne for how this was handled. He just kind of shrugged it off as "no big deal." Well, it was a big deal to me, and made me an Elecraft customer for life! 73, Carl N8VZ P.S. I should add that I'm sure that it's a very rare occurrence that Elecraft ships gear with "missing parts," but it's reassuring that when it happens, they'll admit to it, and make it right! -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Paul Van Dyke Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2019 11:45 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Wayne and his company...

Re: [Elecraft] KX4 Features ??
I would like to see a built-in sound card for digital modes. As far as I know there is no small, portable rig that has this feature. I do expect that a KX4 is either on the drawing boards or at least has been discussed by the Elecraft brain trust (aka Eric & Wayne). 73 de Carl Sent from my iPhone === Carl Jón Denbow, N8VZ 17 Coventry Lane Athens, Ohio 45701-3718 c...@n8vz.com www.n8vz.com EM89wh IRLP 4533 Echolink 116070 PSK and JT65 Forever! === > On Aug 20, 2019, at 1:48 PM, Tox wrote: > > Yep.

Re: [Elecraft] QRP FD KX2 Batteries & FT8 Report
Thanks, Bob. Useful information on the current releases.
I believe you meant to say that FT8 is 15 seconds between overs and FT4 is
about 8 seconds. At least that’s what Joe Taylor K1JT said at the Flex Radio
Banquet was the plan for FT4. Sounds like an exciting contest mode.

Re: [Elecraft] QRP FD KX2 Batteries & FT8 Report
Thanks, Gentlemen. I guess I must not have the latest version of WSJT-X, or I somehow missed that feature. I do have a 2.x version. I wish I had known about that because I was running a low power 1B station on SSB with a very compromised antenna system and would have done much better on FT8. Maybe I can try it out for Winter FD. When I read that thread about all the hoops those guys were going through it discouraged me from pursuing that option.

Re: [Elecraft] QRP FD KX2 Batteries & FT8 Report
Peter, I am curious how you got FT8 to do the proper FD exchange? I read a post where some hams were discussing this and it sounded very difficult and complex, so I decided against trying it. One guy actually had two FT8 programs running simultaneously, with one connected to HRD, which somehow enabled him to do the proper exchange. His description made absolutely no sense to me, so though I’m an experienced FT8 op, I decided to forgo FT8 for this FD.

Re: [Elecraft] My "MFJ Posting"
Since when did nationality = race? Why do you assume Ken’s comment was based on how Martin looks? He may have never seen a photo of him. I certainly haven’t, that I can recall. His name sounds like it’s Asian. Is his ethnicity Chinese, Japanese, Korean? I have no idea. Ken may have assumed, I gather incorrectly, that he was an immigrant from one of those nations. Each of those nations certainly have different cultures, with different sets of cultural norms. Ken made a very awkward statement. Not one I would make. But, I think branding it as racism is more in the eye of the beholder then the pen of the author. 73 de Carl N8VZ Sent from my iPhone === Carl Jón Denbow, N8VZ 17 Coventry Lane Athens, Ohio 45701-3718 c...@n8vz.com www.n8vz.com EM89wh IRLP 4533 Echolink 116070 PSK and JT65 Forever! === > On Apr 10, 2019, at 11:55 AM, Scott Manthe wrote: > > This is what Ken said: > Perhaps the matter stems from the nationality of MFJ's owner and a > different set of values. > > He doesn't mention "culture" at all.

Re: [Elecraft] My "MFJ Posting"
What gets me is that Ken was not commenting on a race but a culture. He was completely wrong in his assessment of the culture to which the head of MFJ belonged, but that’s another issue. It should not have been implied he was a racist for that comment. An apology is due, IMHO. The word “racist” is thrown around too frequently today in ways that are on the verge of rendering the word meaningless. At that point real racists take cover under the umbrella thus created by the misuse of the term. That’s very unfortunate, because real racism is hideous and needs to be forcefully countered and confronted everywhere it raises its ugly head. 73, Carl Sent from my iPhone === Carl Jón Denbow, N8VZ 17 Coventry Lane Athens, Ohio 45701-3718 c...@n8vz.com www.n8vz.com EM89wh IRLP 4533 Echolink 116070 PSK and JT65 Forever! === > On Apr 9, 2019, at 4:34 PM, Joan via Elecraft > wrote: > > Thank you, Jim N4ST, for expressing something which I had become afraid to > (having been stung by wasps too many times) > > 73, > Joan KX2CW > > Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, said Piglet. > Shaka, when the walls fell, said Pooh. > >> On Apr 8, 2019, at 10:41, Jim - N4ST wrote: >> >> Ken, >> >> The Internet has created a mob of hyper-sensitive hype-critical keyboard >> warriors. >> Any comment, including this one is likely to bring on the slings and arrows. >> >> With respect to ham gear, yes, roughly speaking you get what you pay for, >> but sometimes marginal performance is much better than no performance. >> Most of the MFJ stuff I have purchased has served the purpose, especially in >> my younger years when more expensive alternatives were out of reach. >> I also drive Fords & Chevys and not Range Rovers and Mercedes. >> >> ___ >> 73, >> Jim - N4ST >> >> -Original Message- >> From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On >> Behalf Of Ken G Kopp >> Sent: Monday, April 8, 2019 08:16 >> To: Elecraft >> Subject: [Elecraft] My "MFJ Posting" >> >> I am dismayed at the view some took of my posting.

Re: [Elecraft] KFL3C-400 offset?
To put a wrapper on this thread: I ended up ordering two 400Hz filter direct from Inrad. They had them clearly marked as eight pole and said they were mount-compatible with the K3. I had email exchanges with K3 support, most of which were helpful, but the question about a KFL3C-400 eight-pole filter went unanswered. They seem to have a problem in this area. Not exactly sure why. Uncharacteristic. So, I have two 6-pole 400Hz filters for sale!

Bill, Thanks for your response. This filter, unlike the others, is exposed and there are six crystal cans. Does this mean it’s a five-pole? I was sure I ordered an eight-pole filter?

[Elecraft] KFL3C-400 offset?
I’m assembling a KRX3 second receiver for my K3. One of the filters I’m installing is a KFL3C-400. When I ordered it, the order form said it was an 8-pole filter. I purposely only ordered 8-pole filters. It was my understanding that 8-pole filters have no offsets to worry about. Why, then, does the KFL3C-400 have an offset (-0.79) listed on the filter when the others do not? I’m confused.

Mark, The RIT SW# is SWT47; There is also a RIT command, RT RT (RIT Control; GET/SET) SET/RSP format: RTn; where n is 0 (RIT OFF) or 1 (RIT ON). RIT is disabled in QRQ CW mode. There are a few others, see page 23 of the programmer's manual Vers. G3. -- Carl AB1DD Resistance is futile.

[Elecraft] K3 for sale
I have decided to sell one of my K3's. So there is no confusion, it is a K3, late 3000 serial number. It is a 100w kit. Options include standard 2.7k filter, KDVR3 voice recorder, KXV3A interface (RX antenna, IF out and Xverter ), KAT3 antenna tuner (adds 2nd antenna input), power cable, and a spare KSYN3 board so a second receiver can be added. A new second receiver will come with an upgraded Synth board, and both synth boards need to be the same. You could add the new board for $280, or use the old ones until you wanted to upgrade. It also has the mod to be able to power a K-Pod from the front panel jack. Of course, spiral bound manual included, along with assembly instruction manual. The radio is in excellent like new condition. Hardly a scratch on the case. Lightly used and well taken care of, non smoking and pet free home. This would be a great starting point for someone looking for a radio to build up as they wanted.I'm asking $2000 shipped in the US. I could meet locally, (Burlington, Vt. area) and adjust the price. Please contact off list: AB1DD @ ARRL.net. (adjust the spaces!). -- Carl AB1DD Resistance is futile.

Re: [Elecraft] Ideas for an FT8 Radio
While it's legal to run maximum power on FT8, or any other weak signal mode, it's certainly not in the spirit of the weak signal mode ethos Most weak-signal mode enthusiasts pride themselves on the worldwide contacts they can make with low wattage. Many feel that 100 watts is QRO on these modes. Personally, I usually run about 35 watts, but I've had QSOs with stations in far-flung regions running power in the milliwatt range with a dipole up 20 feet. That's the real attraction of these modes to many. And, until the advent of FT8, you heard very few stations running more than 100 watts on these modes. FT8 seems to have attracted a whole different crowd. Some of these, I think, view FT8 as a "the new RTTY" and operate according to the accepted operating procedures of that mode. I view this trend as very unfortunate. 73, Carl == *Carl Jón Denbow, N8VZ* 17 Coventry Lane Athens, Ohio 45701-3718 <mailto:c...@n8vz.com>c...@n8vz.com <mailto:c...@n8vz.com> www.n8vz.com <http://www.n8vz.com/> EM89wh IRLP 4533 Echolink 116070 PSK and JT65 Forever! == __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] [FS] KX3
I used to think the same way. I would say simply, “price includes shipping to any US address.” Then I sold a Kenwood rig to a ham in Hawai’i and the shipping via USPS was astronomical. It was too big for a flat rate box. And, I’m not actually sure the flat rate to Hawai’i is the same as to CONUS. At any rate, to be safe I now say “price includes shipping to CONUS.” I’ll negotiate individually with any Alaskan, Puerto Rican, or Hawai’ian potential buyer. 73, Carl Sent from my iPhone === Carl Jón Denbow, N8VZ 17 Coventry Lane Athens, Ohio 45701-3718 c...@n8vz.com www.n8vz.com EM89wh IRLP 4533 Echolink 116070 PSK and JT65 Forever! === > On Jan 1, 2019, at 6:58 PM, Bill Johnson wrote: > > Great comment, Don.
