Good Evening,   After a cold, wet week the sun is out for the weekend.  High of 60 today.  Too bad there are not more leafy trees up here because in the valleys they are reaching peak color.  I do have a few vine maple but the colder air is settling much lower down the mountain so they have

Jon, The best bet is Elecraft, p/n E100108 - Acrylic Display Bezel. Contact sales at Elecraft 831-763-4211 to order. If you want your own name and call (or anything else that you want) engraved on the bezel, contact Arkay Engraving (do it soon, Ken is retiring) http://www.arkayengravers.com/

Good evening all, I picked up a nice K1 yesterday at NearFest. The bezel has the previous owner/builder's name and call engraved in the bezel. Does anyone have a nice un-engraved bezel that they'd like to sell? I figured I'd ask here before I try Elecraft. Thanks, Jon WS1K

Interesting to read, Clay. I just this month got the P3 Panadaptor and had problems at their connections to the KIO3B. I thought it was fixed when they sent me a new cable for the P3, but now it is back on an intermittant basis and my connection to the computer USB has gone, too. I really do

I have 2 KRC2's, one is working correctly with my K3. The second one used to work, but now just blinks the LED slowly, about 1 sec. rate, when powered up.  If I switch the OP/DL switch to DL the LED turns off.  I have no comms over the serial port with my computer.  I'm using the same setup as

That is what the RRC-1258 at the K3 does.  When it's all set up, turning on the K3/0 [or K3 or K3s] will turn on the remote radio.  When the K3/0 is turned off, the remote K3 shuts down completely. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 10/14/2017 5:54 AM, Don Wilhelm

Pete, Connect one side of the relay coil to your +12 volt supply, and connect the other side to the KEYOUT jack. Put a diode with the cathode connected to the +12 volt side across the relay coil. The negative of your power supply has to connect to the shell of the KEYOUT connector. The

I suspect that “bad things” can happen if the power drops DURING the process of saving. Then you might get partial or invalid information stored. This could be why most of the time it is harmless. Vic 4X6GP > On 14 Oct 2017, at 10:12, Clay Autery wrote: > > Just like any
