A switch from VFO A to VFO B is unrelated to any pot sitting at a switchpoint. You should be looking for some other cause of this 'flakiness' - something is causing the microprocessor to execute a routine that it should not - it could be coming from a glitch on the pushbutton matrix, a bad solder

Hi Lyle (and others), I understand what you are saying (why shouldn't the QRO op get extra credit for working a QRPp station), but I believe that the power multiplier applied to the sending station is an attempt to: 1 - level the playing field ... someone running 100W is going to probably

If the QRP transmitter gets the multiplier, it is incentive for them to stay low. If the guy who works him gets the multiplier, it is incentive for him to dig out the weak ones. How about having multipliers for the QSO, not for one station or the other. No multiplier if both stations are QRO.

I would say keep the rules simple since I'd bet most of us are at best casual contesters. The exchange itself should be straightforward and uncomplicated, but that doesn't necessarily mean minimalist. I want to know where the guy is, what he is running and the Elecraft serial number. Otherwise

From time to time, mainly in trying to copy a weak signal with the 400 or 100Hz filter I would like to change the side tone note to contrast with the ringing note caused by the high noise level through the filter. My question is If you have written down all the settings for a given side tone

Art, 3.4 Amps is higher than should be expected (unless there is a KPA100 attached). The receive current on my fully loaded (no KDSP2) is 0.44 amps at 13 volts - this is only 0.16 amp above a typical K2 with no options. If the normal transmit current with no options is 2.5 Amps or less, I
