[Elecraft] Case for KXPA100

2017-06-30 Thread Brad J. Butler via Elecraft
Hi everyone, Just wondering if there are recommendations out there for a case for the KXPA100? I'm thinking along the lines of a Pelican case, but something soft-sided could possibly work too. Waffling back & forth between a case that just carries the amp & cables or a case that carries amp,

sorry about the blank response. It is late here and the fingers do not work well. Fldigi uses audio tones for keying, and you need to be in SSB mode (typically USB or DATA A) to transmit on the proper frequency - CW included - but I would expect twice the sidetone pitch. Use DATA A mode

Jim; When using the Honda's I have no experience of relative location to the antenna's causing a problem. Also I am absolutely sure no one on this list would expect to hear noise below the noise that is below the noise when they already had a high noise floor for other reasons, and they are

I own two things that I consider as close to perfect as humanly possible: My Elecraft K3, and My Honda EU2000i. I've never had any issue with hash or RFI with my Honda. Decades ago, when they first came out, there were scattered reports, but Honda quickly corrected the issue. My Honda is

FWIW, I have the Honda EU2000i and have used it in many situations where hash/rfi would be unacceptable. I never heard any hash with the K3 and when I used the 2000i to power a McIntosh C2600 tube preamp and MC275 amp, I never heard any artefacts with the volume full with no signal, dead

Over the last several years we have tested about 6 different brands of inverter generators. Hash on all of them except the Honda's. I have not seen any hash on the 1000, 2000, or 3000 generators. One brand had hash over +20 on 40 meters. It was coming directly from the generator, not the power

When you evaluate generators look at the continuous load that is what is important. Lets compare two Honda units as an example the 2000i and the 3000i. The 2000i is rated at 2000 watts for 10 minutes and 1600 continuous, while the 3000i is rated at 3000 watts for 10 minutes and 2800 continuous.

In order to send CW in CW mode, the KX3, like any other amateur radio transceiver, needs an on-off keying input to its CW key jack. In CW mode, amateur transceivers do not respond to audio input. fldigi's primary method of sending CW is to produce an audio tone from a sound card (such as your

Bob, Two things are possibilities. 1) There is a marginal solder connection on the Front Panel board that has oxidized. Look at the soldering for RP1 and U2 as well as the rest of the board. 2) The data in EEPROM has been corrupted. To correct will require a Master Reset - BUT - that will
