I asked this same question some time ago. I don’t recall whether it was Eric or Wayne that replied, but the answer at the time was that it was standard and not an option. Grant NQ5T KX3 (8342)/KXPA100 > On Oct 15, 2019, at 10:06 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > > I see there’s a external reference

A few years ago, when the VFO B knob on my K3 cracked, Elecraft sent me a free replacement. Recently, one of the smaller knobs split in two. It was entirely made of plastic. I ordered a replacement, which turned out to have a metal insert. Clearly, these should have had the insert in the

All, An additional point in mobile installations - do NOT connect the negative directly to the battery. Follow the negative battery lead to the point where that lead connects to the frame. Many modern vehicles have sensing devices in that path from the battery negative and the point where

I certainly agree with Don. As I try to keep a modular approach for my equipment, I use Powerpoles on everything. For portable equipment, I created short fused cables from ATC blade fuses (just got them from Walmart or an auto parts store) and some black 12-gauge wire with Powerpoles on both

Well ... yes, best to fuse the + conductor. However, be aware that inline fuse holders [and their fuses] are not zero ohm superconducting devices.  The best ones seem to be the automotive blade-type [Rig Runners use them] with a wide contact surface and wiping action on insertion and removal.

However you work it, I tried something and it worked/works perfectly with my K3 & K3s (which has the off-brand metal knobs). I took the felt washer and put the Teflon plumbers tape on it, I wrapped it so the felt is now unseen & the washer looks "white" from the tape. This allowed me to

I have the CNC weighted knobs with bearing dimple on the VFO A knob, non-dimple on the B knob. will these transfer to the K4? IOW, are they the same size knobs on the K4 as the K3? Cheers! Gary KA1J __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 fuses

2019-10-15 Thread Don Wilhelm
Terry, The KX3 has internal protection, but a fused power lead (only necessary in the positive lead) provides additional protection. That is important IMHO when powered by an external battery - there is a lot of energy in a battery, and if the wire is pinched and shorts, it will spew molten
