2005-10-18 Thread Andrey Stoev
Hey guys, While at the scanning topic, I am looking for a HQ 300 dpi scan of the faceplate of an unbilt K2. (pretty much what Tom needs but on the front of the K2). Any help will be greatly appreciated! 73s ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

[Elecraft] 432 transverter with 2m transverter and satellites

2005-10-18 Thread Rick Tilton
I guess this question is too early but will there be any type of software or hardware interface to put between two K2's or between a 432 and 2m transverter with ONE K2 so that you maybe able to perform inverting and non inverting on the satellites to allow proper tracking of two frequencies?

There are quite a few considerations when working with satellites, here's my opinion which is a bit terse as my back hurts and I want to get on with some new code. Ideally you will have two K2's or a K2 and a good second receiver. Myself I have the IC-7800 and IC-703 and will never own the K2

The razor blade radio regionally appeared in either Popular Science or Popular Mechanics in the early 1940's. It was appropriately named the Oatmeal Box radio as you used a Quaker Oats box to wind the coil. I built one and used it to copy many radio stations as the coil had taps to change

Then for satellites you are sadly stuffed. But I guess this is a firmware issue which could be 'resolved'. I understand why this may be so, anyway I suggest you band on the door of Eric ever so politely :-) Simon Brown, HB9DRV --- www.hb9drv.ch, www.laax.ch - Original Message - From:

Tom, I've heard the same, sometimes all over the place. I always maintain my frequency, and either open up my filter to chase him or use RIT. Generally going from a 400 Hz filter to 700 is sufficient. Once in a great while, I have to open all the way or use RIT. Those signals generally imply

[Elecraft] Solar controller Kit

Hi I have been supplying a Solar Charge Controller Kit for several years. This controller will keep a SLA or LA 12 volt battery charged from solar panels of 3 to 150 watts. Batteries of 2 amp hour to 110 amp hour have been used with these controllers. I am currently sold out of the kits but I

One more detail useful to the beginner. A half wave dipole for 40 m will give excellent performance on 15 m as well. You get two bands for the price of one. Steve AA4AK ... 40 meters is a great band, probably the best overall. 15 is another fabulous band .. - Keith -

QRP is a tough way to start a ham hobby. I'd say you're better off buying a no-hassles rig that puts out 50 or more watts. Don't handicap yourself. You need to have QSOs, not spend your time trying to call stations that can't hear you. ... - Keith - Amen! QRP is a joy to
