[Elecraft] Amp/tuner
While I tend to operate QRP most of the time, I do have a KPA 100 with my KX3. When out in my RV I. When I had a K3 I also had a KPA 500. I have the 20 watt tuner in the KX3 for picnic table ops. I use an SGC smart tuner in my rv and at home I have a SteppIR antenna that is always resonant no matter where I operate. I'd have to go along with the optional tuner in a big amp. It would do me no good to have a fixed tuner in the amp. I did not order that tuner in my KPA 100. I am sure there are many others who have no need for a tuner but others who do. The simple and elegant solution is an optional add on tuner de ke4d John Sent from my iPad __ 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] Amp/tuner
Well I for one am disappointed about the Oct delivery dates, I was looking forward to getting my amp this next week. Good things come to those who wait my mother always told me...but please hurry Wayne and Eric !! Drinking the Kool-Aide came from the deaths of almost 900 people who were followers of Jim Jones, he was a paranoid religious fanatic who convinced his follower's to drink the poisoned Kool-Aide and meet their maker at their compound in Guyana in the later 70's ! And they all followed him to their deaths ! I like Wayne and Eric's better thank you. 73 de Ed N7EDK __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] Amp/tuner
Ed, We all who are waiting for the KXPA100 KXAT100 might be a bit disappointed; but I trust that we got the best SWAG (Scientific Wild A** Guess) that was available at the time. We push Elecraft for a date then complain if it is wrong! The further out the estimate the wronger it is going to be! Having purchased a significant amount of VaporWare that never got delivered (non-Ham equipment), Elecraft is a breath of fresh air. They do eventually deliver, then they fix any problems found no mater how insignificant and no mater how few users it actually affects. Then they enhance the product with features not in the original design. Not one of us has ever had to pay for the firmware updates and many of the hardware fixes have been supplied free or at a very low cost. I can remember paying thousands of dollars/year for software update subscriptions and 90% of those updates were to fix original bugs or bugs developed fixing original bugs! Be thankful for Elecraft! 73 George AI4VZ -Original Message- From: edward kacura Well I for one am disappointed about the Oct delivery dates, I was looking forward to getting my amp this next week.
