[Elecraft] K3S Scan Delay

2017-12-26 Thread jollyto
How I can set the scan delay when a signal is found? I would like a longer delay time on the scan function when a signal is detected. Thanks 73 de KP4FMD - K3s #10,554 -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft

Tony, Elecraft have a service agent - Carlo Bianconi - in Italy who does great work. Shipping was very reasonable. Several of the 6Gs DXpedition team sent KPA500s over to him for a hardware upgrade and full checkout before our first trip (TX6G). I'd chat with Elecraft support first, but if they

Shucks, our $1000 wireless professional microphones use the ribbon technique to assist in removing the battery/batteries. Works great until some apprentice audio tech forgets to put the ribbon UNDER the new battery and then says "hey, what's this hanging out of the case?" 73 Bob, K4TAX On

Excellent tip, Mike!  It brought back memories of my kid's toys that had a small ribbon behind the cells that you could pull and the cells would come out easily.  So, I just looked at the toys all of my grandchildren got for Christmas, and NONE of them had that feature.  Looks like I will use

I believe the batteries are really tight in the battery holder to provide a low resistance contact. I remember a post from Elecraft mentioning that they had to use a special battery holder to get that resistance down. I used to see ribbon under batteries to help pop them out of a holder. I’m

[Elecraft] KX3 tip to help remove AA batteries

2017-12-26 Thread Mike Parkes
I have only used Eneloop AA batteries on my kx3, so not sure if its just them, but getting them out of the battery holder (on each end end) is difficult. So I cut a strip of coated paper from a catalog, and wrapped that around the end of battery on the + end and now I can pull them out easily.

Yes, by all means Tony should contact Elecraft service. They are staffed with very competent people, and have developed methods of supporting customers around the world. Several years ago, I experienced excellent support from SDR Kits, a small UK company that builds the excellent VNWA Vector

Wizkers:Radio can do an SWR scan with a K3, KX3, or KX2. It also works with some other rigs. Very handy bit of free, portable software. http://www.wizkers.io/wizkersradio wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 25, 2017, at 8:09 PM, Jim N7US

Re: [Elecraft] K3s IF bandwidth?

2017-12-26 Thread Fred Jensen
It's as wide as the bandwidth of the BPF ahead of the 1st mixer.  There are several BPF's for the various bands and their BW no doubt varies, but is likely much larger than 200 KHz. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 12/25/2017 9:17 AM, Jim Miller wrote: The P3

Hi Tony, Sounds like a smoking gun to me.  Certainly there must be someone on that side of the Atlantic that could replace an SMT part!  I'm sure Elecraft would provide guidance. 73, Scott K9MA On 12/26/2017 06:58, Tony G6GLP wrote: Hi Scott I had a look inside and under the atu but

Hi Scott I had a look inside and under the atu but nothing looks out of place until a little smt device dropped out. It looks like a coil of some sort but I am not sure where it fell off and even if I did I now dont have the facilities to put is back with any dignity. So when the elves get
