Good Evening,
Both bands were fairly quiet with little QSB. It was nice to hear
about sunshine when I was sitting in dense fog. By the way I checked my
stereo and found I had heard the CW signal when I was listening to 910
AM. 910 and 1817 kHz are related. Now to check K7RAT's
I have a similar situation. I have a pair of powerline extenders, and I
was unable to detect QRM from them on 40-10m. My antenna is not that far
from the building, either.
But from time to time, I lose my connection and have to disconnect and
reconnect to get it back. Sometimes it can be quite
Yes it is possible to have multiple 'windows' open on a large monitor. You
will need a svga to hdmi converter to take the signal from the P3 to a
video multiplexer box which uses multiple hdmi inputs. You can set it for
various configurations of the display screen depending upon the video box.
Look at the data rates too, the last time I looked, it ... was ...
vry slow Then remember that your signal will be
impacting the power lines to some extent.
I use gain antennas where I can, not further than 50' away, which works
through extenders (repeaters). You might

Glad to help! Remember this was several years ago. Maybe things have
improved. Do your homework before coming to a conclusion. I just remember
all the hub-bub from a few years ago, when Internet-over-power line first
came up.

You can find a lot of explanations by searching "advantages of direct

Adam has a good explanation here as it relates to amateur radio:

The K4 page K4FAQ tab has some good info too:

Fellow Elecrafters,
I am trying to extend the wifi
based internet coverage in my property. Alas it has very thick concrete walls
with lots of re-bar in them, which is good for the odd earthquake - but not so
much for wifi.
I've asked this sometime before but did not get any answer, I'll try
once more ... What are the advantages of direct conversion over a
superhet? I know "how" both work, my curiosity is, "What capabilities
drive a radio like a K4 to use direct conversion?

I was a backer for the ReflowR computer controlled SMD hot plate a few
years ago. I had to cough up a little extra for shipping because the
creator munged up his figures and didn't leave enough for shipping, and was
selling the things on Tindie to build up cash to send units to his backers

Hi Ted:
I wanted to get into some SMD building and tried the hot air approach
initially. It was difficult and unreliable, and I messed up more than I had
success.
The best decision I made was to invest in a modestly-priced infrared SMD oven
from Amazon. This works perfectly for me and I
I got a hot air rework device from SparkFun. It does a fine job
of heating SMT parts so they can be removed and replaced. I did
the KPOD power upgrade to my K3 using it.
It is currently in the hands of the moving company which is

Not before, but after restart I do; then going to window, zoom on that bar, it
is visible.
Big thanks for getting me stuck!

I am thinking about trying my hand at building a kit with a bunch of SMDs. I
don’t yet know the gauge. Any suggestions about the brand or type of hot air
soldering gun I should buy? Any other tools I’ll need, like narrow-gauge
solder, wicks, whatever?
Thanks,
Ted, KN1CBR
David, are you seeing the KX2 menu at the top of the screen when you try to
start the app?

I’ve seen that happen with other apps occasionally. But to be honest, I have
no clue what causes it (permissions glitch, maybe?) Have you tried rebooting
the Mac? Probably won’t help, but is sometimes the universal cure-all — like
hitting a radio on the side when it quits working
Grant, thanks for the info; I re-downloaded it, and tried as you suggest.
There is no message; it shows on the lower toolbar as running (dot beneath it)
but nothing happens (never shows on screen).

i just tried it on my Catalina MacBook Pro out of curiosity — I don’t own a

Do you get any kind of message when you try to open it? If I just click on it
in the Downloads folder directly from the Dock, I get a message that it won’t

I am trying to use the 64 bit KX2 Utility on my MacBook Pro running macOS
10.15 Catalina.
I click on it and it never opens. K3 Utility works fine FWIW.
Any hints?
Thanks!

Most operating systems have NTP clients built in.
Sure, there are a million clients out there (I use Tardis), and there
are probably more that work under BSD-like UNIX (MacOS).
The one built in to the OS is probably just fine.
