Good Evening,
It has been dropping into the 40s each night this week. I almost
started a fire in the woodstove. But, by noon it was back to 70 again.
I collected a lot of dry, bucked up wood and got my exercise. Ten more
truck loads and I'll be started. While I was complaining to the ja
There were several answers, many were just wrong (1/4-20. Or likely).
But the absolute best answer was from Wayne of Elecraft who is sending out an
envelope with a nut. So who cares what size it is?
I think it might be 6X.75 (mm).

Or hold and spin the mouse wheel to zoom however I do not recall
having to do that on any of your articles that I read. I certainly would not
complain about having free access to all of that information.

Well you had 20+ responses to your question however to my knowledge not one
answer. Since it's a metric thread it is quite easy to measure the diameter
in millimeters using a caliper (round up to the nearest size) and then
measure the distance between threads for the thread pitch. e.g. M6 x 1

Not to forget winning WW1 and WWII.
I remember punch cards fondly. At Hughes I took a company-sponsored Fortran IV
course. I was in Tucson and the main-frame was in CA. We would do our coding,
punch and submit our cards, the batch would be run overnight and we would come
in the next morning

The main reason Phil is that we went to the moon on International Feet
and Pounds [and an uncountable number of 80-column punched cards and
boxes of green-bar]. "If it got us to the moon, it has to be good
enough for everything else."

You're doing great Jim and we're all thankful for all the

Nope, that red line should move off to the right on the P3, just like it does
when the XIT is enabled. What happens on your P3 when you turn on RIT on the K3

how to control them, but it appears that either something inside has gone
kaflooy or I’ve screwed up something myself. I suspect the latter

Joe,
The telling answer is in your statement "the radio has an internal ATU".
The radio is showing the SWR between the radio and the ATU.
The wattmeter is showing you the SWR after the ATU - in other words, the
SWR of the untuned antenna. So there may be nothing wrong.
Connect a dummy load to
My wattmeter seems to be displaying the wrong SWR on the LEDs. I bought a
digital display unit on line. The radio has an internal ATU. The radio says
tuned 1.0 - 1. when I key the radio says 1.0 - 1 and the DDU says .16 SWR but
the LEDs show 1.5 - 1. So if I hit 1.2 - 1 the LEDs all flash so I

Hi all,
I have the following effect on my KX3 equipped with the 2m module:
Max Power is set to 3.0W
If I set to TUNE I can increase the rf from 0 up to eg. 3.0W.
But the power does only increase to about 650mW and the most confusing is
the fact that in the display the power jumps back to 0.9W!
