[Elecraft] K4 mail filter for Thunderbird

I have saved URLs to 10 reflectors, but always have opted _OUT of Email_ from all of them.  The saved links are to their _archives_ only, viewing by thread.  Some, like the Elecraft reflector and all the groups.io lists, are continuous.  Other archives for lists like CQ-Contest, RFI list, etc.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

2020-10-05 Thread Tim Tucker
I'd be up for that. The KX3 is my favorite radio. After I got the KX2 and started enjoying its internal Li-ion battery pack, I realized that the KX3's internal NiMH battery charger is its worst feature. I too never use it anymore and have just switched to a small, external LifePO4 pack. Tim On

[Elecraft] Saving/Sharing Macros

I would like to share my K3s macros with my son. In the K3 utility I click on the save button, but cannot find the file. Are they stored in a file I can copy and send to him or do I have to make a screen shot or copy and paste to a text file.? Perhaps someone has found a better method. Thanks

Curious. I’m doing a lot of antenna work right now. I had to remove my 12/17/30m trap inverted V to get my beam off the tower. In the meantime, I’m making due with a 20/40/80m trap dipole. If I use 12m on the 20/40/80m dipole using a tuner, I’m not having any HI CUR issues, even when running

I also always carry a LiFePo4 when I go portable with my KX3. I'd be interested in moving a LiFePO4 battery into the case and removing the NiMH Eneloops that don't seem to provide enough voltage or last long enough. 73 Bill AE6JV On 10/5/20 at 5:47 PM, kc6...@effable.com (Steve KC6ZKT)

Great idea, count me in! At first I thought “The new KXBC3a should be backward compatible to NiMH cells”. Then I realized “Who would want to go back”? Then for safety reasons make it impossible to “accidentally“ connect the LiFePo4 battery pack to a KXBC3. Paul W2PMC > On Oct 5, 2020, at

[Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

The KX3 is my favorite of my HF radios right now. But one of my annoyances is the internal battery limitations. I always wind up carrying an external 6_Ah or 10_Ah LiFePo4 battery into the field when I use this radio, an external charge controller, and solar panel. It's not a big problem, but

It turns out that the 82 pF cap I was looking for in the BFOMDKT kit is actually in the K2ATOBKT kit. In addition to some parts consolidation, the Upgrading the Elecraft K2 to Revision B (K2ATOBKT) instructions seem to over-ride or modify some of the instructions in the earlier upgrade kits.

If you can’t send posts with ‘K4' in the title or text to the trash, then there’s something wrong with your mail client's filter. I’m not familiar with Thunderbird, so maybe there’s an issue there. I routinely read maybe 20% of the posts I receive from the many (20+?) reflectors I subscribe
