[Elecraft] HI CUR on 40

Today I find that I get a HI CUR error when transmitting at just a little over 50 watts. Switched to a DL and find that on 40 meters my K3 draws more current at 50 watts than it does on all the other bands. This is with the tuner bypassed and hooked to one of my old cantennas. SWR shows flat on 40

Re: [Elecraft] Smoke detectors

We switched to wireless alarm connected, internal battery detectors due to the occasional RFI interference caused by running a little power on 80 meters. Our alarm company actually had some experience with RFI issues and made the recommendation. I installed them and have a calendar reminder to

[Elecraft] KIO3B Main Board Repair

I have ended up with 2 bad KI03B boards E850645.  Both bad in the USB circuit.  I did some basic checks resistance wise they recommended but found no problems.  Elecraft said chances of repair was slim and would not be economical to try.  I think all the other functions are okay ie think they

Re: [Elecraft] Smoke detectors

Most RFI to/from ham radio and "devices" is caused by poorly designed electronics using interconnected wiring as TX/RX antennas. Because of the frequencies on which they operate, WiFi-connected devices with no exterior wiring are inherently FAR less likely to create or receive RFI IF they

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Delivery?

I guess we need a "no troll" policy as well. A mis-leading subject line. No Elecraft content in the body of the email. A link that leads to a politicized article. That is the definition of a troll email. Nothing about the K4 to be found... The wrong person apologized in this thread. 73, Steve

Re: [Elecraft] Smoke detectors

Dave, I totally agree. I am sure the “problem” the manufacturer is cautioning about is RF, since my original post was about “wireless connected” detectors. My gripe was nothing in the sales literature warned against it. Not till I bought the units and read the installation guide Sent from my

Re: [Elecraft] Smoke detectors

Well, RF (AKA "Radio Waves") can falsely trigger all sorts of equipment that was not "designed" to work with, or be influenced by them. That is the classic EMC Susceptibility or Immunity problem.  Basically, poor design and/or implementation of the affected (or sometimes bad installation of an
