Good Evening,
It is spider season. Just after the first taste of the rainy
season and just before the mushrooms appear in mats. Yes, spider
season, when you can't walk more than about ten feet without getting a
face full of web. Every time I forget to walk with my arms in front of
me
Way back when, I came across instructions for preventing the ANT button on a
KX3 driving a KXPA100 from changing antennas. It was useful then, to avoid a
no-antenna condition in case the op forgot what was connected to what. I would
now like to unblock it, so that the KXPA output can be
Hello everyone,
I have an unopened KPA100 amplifier kit available for sale. It is
just as received from Elecraft. I have too many projects and too little
time to build this one as a spare for my K2 setup. $400 shipped and insured
to US destinations. I can accept Paypal, cash, check or
Rich,
The RS-232 lines in the K3 are essentially the same as the lines to the
internal USB adapter.
That means that they are NOT two separate ports.
Yes, using the serial dongle that comes with the K3S or the KIO3B
upgrade for the K3 does allow you to use an RS-232 port or USB adapter

I do something similar, but tin only a very short tip of the braid, then use
an awl to create a hole in the untinned braid near the end. Using 1/2" wide
flat braid.

Nope. That is the same grounding scheme I've used for years. The 3rd
pin safety ground is really all that is needed for the station inside.
As to lightning protection, that is done outside of the house and takes
into account the tower, the rotor, the antennas and it is bonded outside
of the
Confession: I never ground anything, except via the 3-conductor power
cords . . . . Am I the only one? . . . .

Hi,
I have added an informal and unscientific survey asking if you have RFI
at https://www.nk7z.net
Please take it if you have time. It is a single question asking if you
have RFI. It is two posts down on the right side. Sorry for no direct
link to it, it is on the sidebar.

Nice news story. QRZ says Lee Paulet is AA1NW. From the video, he’s on 7.251.

Fred,
Thank you Sir! I have several of your excellent books and use them all the
time.
I’ll be sure to check them out.
Last week I ordered the KPA500 book and I’m waiting for it to arrive.
Have a great day.

To connect flat braid to equipment I have simply tinned the end and drilled an
appropriate size hole thru the tinned end. Simplest form of ring lug.

For the station bonding jumpers, #10 AWG auto primary wire with a ring
terminal attached is very adequate. Easy to work with, inexpensive,
does the job, and makes for a clean installation. Personally, I crimp
{mechanical connection} and solder {electrical connection} my ring
terminals on
I *am* using a homemade lug, as stated. It's neater than cramming 1" of
braid into the round barrel of a terminal lug. The braid lays flat right
off the screw terminal and onto the desk surface, no bunching into the lug.

Thank you. I thought I found a way to use the USB port for audio/rig
control and the other for sending Freq data to the SDR.
I guess not.
Thanks again
