[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft

2021-03-13 Thread Dave Cole
I wanted to drop a note to the Elecraft folks to thank them for all the 
good work they did getting ready for the "event".  It was good to meet a 
few folks I had not, and good to get a few answers I needed.  The K4 
presentation was good, and glad you will have it on YouTube later...


So...  Thanks for your work in setting this up...

[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft!

2016-09-01 Thread Mike Herr
I just wanted to say thank you to Elecraft. I built / have the KX1, KX3 and
K2, all fine rigs. But I relocated m K2 up at our rustic, small, cabin in
the high sierras, as my "rig in residence". It had been a while since I
used the old K2 as the KX3 has seen daily use in the WA6ARA shack at home.
It has been a true pleasure using the K2 up there. Simple to use, quite
receiver, nice memories. Just a pleasure to use casually while resting from
a hike and drinking a beer. What to go Elecraft!

[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft, Digital Modes

2014-12-17 Thread John Oppenheimer
I had no plan to have digital capability, but it's sure nice that the K3
(and KX3) have digital capability. W1AW/9 recently posted to LoTW, three
RTTY and one PSK31 QSOs confirmed. A nice group of digital QSOs on my
LoTW QSO page this morning. And thank you W1AW/ operators, it's been a
fun year.

I wanted to thank everyone for all the direct responses I received while
pondering my K1 Rx issues.

After much poking around and pondering - I decided I could too easily get
in deep and the radio is in the capable hands of Don (W3FPR) for a complete
checkout, and I can't wait to get her home and on the air!

Thank you and 73!

I would like to share my thanks and appreciation to Elecraft employees for
their excellent products and support. I am a relatively new K3 and KPA500
kit owner. I was happy with my purchase during assembly, and have been
happy ever since.  I have a KAT500 kit on order now too.

I shared my equipment with some volunteer radio operator friends during
Field Day and SKYWARN Recognition Day this year, at the Fort Worth National
Weather Service forecast office. I do not believe any of them had operated
Elecraft radios before. They had experience with various other makes and
some high-end models.  All who had a chance to operate my equipment were
impressed.  Everything functioned flawlessly.

Although I have not worked directly in manufacturing for many years, I
started my career at a major commercial 2-way radio manufacturer 36 years
ago, introducing, manufacturing and testing radio products.  I may have
some small idea of the effort it takes to design and manufacture a quality
radio product, and exceed customer expectations. You have done so for me.

Thank you, and be proud of all that you have accomplished together!  I hope
you continue to be successful for many, many years to come.

[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft - And Dale

2012-03-13 Thread KC6CNN
I received my K3 today at 8:00am.
I took and hooked my laptop up to it and saved the new configuration file. 
I thought I would try it as it came from the factory. 
I was on 30 meters and heard a cw signal. I don't know much about cw,
between cw and a hole in the ground, I could tell you which one is the hole.
lol
I tuned in the cw signal and it was w5vyy calling cq. okay nervous about
never having a cw contact I started typing in my untility programs and
called him. 
He responded on the first call. Wow. I had a nice qso with him and he said
my signal sounded great. 
This is with the same antenna that my kenwood would not tune. The k3 tuned
it to a 1 to 1 first try. 
Now I have a lot of learning and exploring to do. I just wanted to thank the
Elecraft bunch and especially Dale for helping me get my order and making
such a great product. 
Got to jump off of here and get back to playing radio. 
Thank you all and I am sure I will have questions that I will need help with
so thank to all on the reflector in advance. 
Gerald Manthey - KC6CNN

2012-02-19 Thread Earl Richardet
Thanks to Elecraft for providing 50 to 60 hours of great fun and
entertainment with some trepidation while building my new K2 transceiver.
Everything went well in the first phase of the build, only to be challenged
with a few issues in phase II.  After about 5 hours of troubleshooting with
the help of Don Wilhem, I got the receiver functioning.  Phase III was
completed today without issue and the transmitter worked as advertised from
the moment I turned the transceiver back on.  All that was left was to align
and calibrate and a few hours later, the basic transceiver was complete.

 

Thanks also goes out Mychael Morohovich, the Tyroidguy for the pre-assembled
toroids.  I think that buying pre-built toroids really made the whole
process a lot easier.

 

So now I'm off to build the options and get them into the radio.

 

What Great Fun and what a great radio.

 

Thanks again!!!

[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft for the KX1

2010-01-10 Thread The Smiths


I just wanted to share my experience with a KX1 that I borrowed from a friend.  
I took this KX1 rig with me when I went to the Philippines.  I did a bit of 
traveling around the northern part of the country. 

The rig that I borrowed had 80/40/30 and 20 meters available.  However, things 
were more active on 40 meters. Most of my work was from 6am till about 10AM 
then again from about 9PM till about 11:30PM local time.  After that the bands 
were DEAD. Im speculating that there are more younger CW guys in Asia than here 
in the states.  And that perhaps they go to work,  and that's why the bands 
were not active during the day time.
 
I found that with a #26awg 28' wire thrown up into a coconut tree, and 3 
counterpoise available to me, 33', 23' and 16', which I just threw down on the 
ground I was able to get a very nice match on all bands but 80 meters.  At 
times I found that using only the 33' or the 23' counterpoise was all that I 
needed... Here's what I was able to work and hear with that little 2 watt ultra 
portable KX1:
 
Heard:
Argentina
England
Germany
France
Russia
Korea
China
Japan
Chek Republic
Israel
Norway
Switzerland
Trinidad Tabgo
Thailand
Brunei
Vietnam
Cambodia
Philippines
Chagos (VQ9)
Singapore
USA (oddly I was only able to hear AZ for the most part??)
 
Worked:
Russia (3 stations)
Korea
China
Trinidad Tabgo (heard me calling QRP but wasn't able to hear me through the 
other Asian stations calling him)
Japan
Chek Republic (2 stations)
North Pole (1 station)
Thailand
Brunei (2 stations)
Vietnam 
Cambodia (2 stations)
Philippines 
Believe it or not, I only heard 2 other Philippine stations on CW! I worked 
both, yet one was a guy visiting from Germany
 
*Places that I didn't mark with a number I worked more than 3 times.

As an owner of a K3, I just wanted to say Thank you to Wayne, Eric, Lyle and 
everyone else at Elecraft that made the KX1 available.  You have no idea how 
much fun and excitement that you added to my already enjoyable vacation.  I 
know now that I'll be ordering a KX1 kit to build for myself as soon as I can 
drum up the money.

Excellent reasons to post an *answer* ON the reflector. 

1) Without going into people's motives, from time to time someone will make
a mistake answering a question for another. They'll make a wrong assumption
or simply be incorrect in their understanding. When that answer is posted
publicly, others will read and correct it and *everyone* benefits. 

2) Some claim off-line posts reduces the number of messages, but my
experience suggests that just the opposite is true. For every question
asked, there are several wondering the same thing. One answer on the
reflector answers them all and often even brings up other questions. And
that's what it's all about.

Eric does not tolerate flames or even consistently impolite behavior,
making this forum is a safe place for newbies and experts alike to talk in
public.

I will disagree with Jim on one point. I've followed this reflector since
2000. From time to time we've had someone spend time here who is very hard
to interact with, but they never seem to last very long while there are a
lot of great guys who have been around here longer than I such as Tom N0SS
and Don W3FPR. (My apologies to many others whose calls/names don't come to
mind immediately who also take their time to provide meaningful and useful
answers. I know it's a rather long list.)

Interacting with others here feels much like a virtual club meeting with a
lot of friends old and new, some of whom show up only occasionally and
others who are here almost every day. 

Don't hesitate to join in and let the good times roll (on)...

Re: [Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft reflector group!!!

2009-02-11 Thread Jim Brown
It's also hugely important that the Owners of Elecraft, and 
principal designers of the radio, regularly read the reflector, pay 
attention to their customers problems, needs, and desires, and 
actively respond both with solid answers, and with solutions in the 
form of the evolution of the radio! 

This communication is the primary reason why the K3 runs rings 
around its competitors, and at a fraction of the cost of the best 
competitve products. And its the reason why most serious contesters 
and DXers are dumping other radios to buy K3s.

You're kidding right? I'm pretty new to the ham world and have only observed 
that most on this list are true elmers and gentleman (and ladies).

I feel bad if you've had a bad experience here,but I would think that there was 
a gross misunderstanding or misinterpretation under way here. Don't forget that 
these guys put their advise out there out of the goodness of their heart and do 
not receive compensation for their time.

Maybe you just got advise from someone in a hurry or somewhat distracted so it 
seemed curt but it was well intended.

Chill out - this is a great group of people. I'm sure it is just a non-face to 
face , internet thing :-)

Like I said, I'm pretty new but if I can help you (or anyone) I will.

Take care  73,
Dave W8FGU

 Dear all,
 
 
 
 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on the reflector list that has

 interaction that I really appreciate and enjoy.  This reflector group played
 a huge role in helping me decide what my next rig should be, and that is the
 K3.  I now know that if I should ever run into a problem with my radio,
 someone will be out there willing to help.  With that said, I'm going to
 place my order first thing tomorrow. and after that, the hard part of
 waiting for the UPS delivery man begins. :-)
 
 
 
 73 and thanks again!

James,

Don't get to cozy with others out here as sometimes you'll pose a particular 
question and SOME
GUYS who have been out here (WAY TOO DAMN LONG), being the original K3 users, 
WILL definitely 
CRAP ON YOU aka referring
to your INTELLIGENCE as DENSE!!!

So my own advice as a relatively NEW K3 OWNER is take everything with a grain 
of salt and
PLEASE read between THEIR LINES!!

[Elecraft] Thank you Elecraft

Hello All:

Just to let you know K2, s/n 6301 is now complete!  Final Tuning of filters
and Antenna Tuner to be completed this week, when my elmer returns from
Orlando.  It will be several weeks for me to put up  a G5RV and perfect my
cw.  But I hope to be on the air by March 10.

Over the past several months while building my radio, I have read this forum
daily.  I want you all to know that the support I received from everyone at
elecraft and the torroid guy was fantastic.  Scott, at elecraft got to know
me, well but no mattar how silly my question, I had the help I needed. 
Coupled with the advice on this forum, I was able to build my K2 and it was
my first build.  Thank you to all and Thank you to Elecraft for putting out
a product that a nontechnical newbie can build.  Now I just have to learn
how to use it! Hi Hi!

73 to all

Bill  KE5KWE

Bill,

Congrats and welcome to the world of the Elecraft Mojo. You are no longer
non-technical if you built this fine radio. I have #5099 and enjoyed all
aspects of building, testing and operating the K2. You will no doubt have
many fun hours with your K2 and enjoy the learning process of not only how
to operate it but how it works as well.

Good luck and enjoy.

Take care  73,
Dave W8FGU
