[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Announcement

Good Evening,    Christmas day was white and it remained so for a few days.  Then ice and back to rain.  Today was surprisingly sunny and the moon is shining brightly.  The coyotes are making a lot of noise as the pack moves past.  They enjoy the break in the cold and wet but I think the moon

Re: [Elecraft] 80 meters

I had a similar problem on the low bands. I did three things: 1- Replaced the stock power cord with ~4 ft of #10 twisted pair cable; 2- Turned up the no-load voltage on the Actron linear supply to 14.2 v which gives me better than 13.5v @ 100w key down on the K3 display and 3- reran the K3

Re: [Elecraft] 80 meters

Make sure your power supply provides enough voltage and can handle the power draw (300 watts is probably a good number). This happened to me too when I accidentally adjusted the voltage of my PSU too low. I now have it at 13.6V. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Mal Speer Sent: Saturday,

[Elecraft] 80 meters

I seem to have low output on 75 phone. The most power I can put out is 71 watts. I can turn the power knob to 100 watts, but it backs down to 71 immediately. This is into an antenna and a dummy load. I just checked 160 same thing except I get 83 watts All other bands seem OK Mal WA2TWA

Fine business, Bjorn ^_^ One my fav ways to elmer the Morse code as practiced is, in fact, to set folx around a table and pass the ‘transmitting station’ around the table and have a real roundtable QSO (albeit only acoustically) You can use your KX2 as the code practice oscillator by turning

Re: [Elecraft] P3 showing sigs on Aux antenna in diversity mode?

Hello Bill, It *seems* to me that the following would achieve your goal, but the gazillion cables behind the radios at this wireless station discourages me from attempting to pull the K3 out away from the wall far enough to actually try it. -- Disconnect your low-noise rx antenna from the K3

Hi Rich, No they are the same except the PDF doesn't have an index like the printed version. Cheers, Fred KE7X From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net on behalf of Rich Arland Sent: Saturday, December 30,

[Elecraft] P3 showing sigs on Aux antenna in diversity mode?

For 160, I've got a noisy TX antenna, and a quiet RX antenna. I sometimes run them in diversity mode, with TX antenna connected to K3's ANT1 port, and RX antenna connected to AUX port. Diversity works fine. But the P3 shows the IF from the noisy TX antenna - in which many weak stations are

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 160 ATU Issue

The ATU requires a certain amount of power so it can compare one SWR with another. If there isn’t enough power, the ATU waits for it. 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Dec 30, 2017, at 14:47, Dave Sublette wrote: > > I'm helping my son, K4TOO do some antenna work. The antenna is up

[Elecraft] KXPA100 160 ATU Issue

I'm helping my son, K4TOO do some antenna work. The antenna is up and tunes on all bands with the KX3 on QRP. When we put the amp in line, the amp ATU tunes all bands, except 160. When we hit the ATU tune button on 160, there are no clicking sounds. The SWR remains High and the power out is

Jim, Joan, Ray, Ron, Wayne, Thanks a lot for broadening my perspectives on cw code practicing, including prompting me to learn some Tamarian language and find out what a Left Hand Milk Stout is. I am currently somewhere between 13-15 wpm receiving but know little about what I sound like
