Although I've returned to Kenwood gear, I ran a couple of SDR-IQs for years as a panadapters on both a K3 and a K3S using SpectraVue and VSPE for port sharing.  The SDR-IQ will click a couple of times at boot up but never after that.  The TS-890 I use now has a beautiful display so I don't need

Well, I found the cause of the clicking (but not what is clicking). I use two almost identical computers (DELL Inspiron desk tops). One is for general Internet use, e-mail, etc. the other is dedicated to ham radio sw. The K3 is connected to the later one. So I decided to try a different

"Clearly case of stimulation of overactive ham hormone resisting disposal of anything looking potentially useful." Ed, your characterization of this personality quirk is the best explanation I've seen yet - I'll share it with my XYL, although I doubt it will temper her (un)enthusiasm for my

Mystery solved. AC out, label in error, autopsy reveals no inner circuitry! Boat anchor or garage sale. Clearly case of stimulation of overactive ham hormone resisting disposal of anything looking potentially useful. Thanks all! Ed McCann AG6CX > On Dec 6, 2022, at 10:47 AM, Edward Mccann

Tnx Jim. Label claims to be 12DC out, but clearly needs to be measured as investigation proceeds! Minimal specs, but autopsy underway. Ed McCann AG6CX > On Dec 6, 2022, at 10:29 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > > On 12/6/2022 10:16 AM, Edward Mccann wrote: >> Slightly off topic, I will admit, but

Slightly off topic, I will admit, but in reworking garden walkway low-voltage (12 v DC) I made surplus a 200 VA transformer. This may sound ridiculous, but have any readers had experience using such a transformer as DC power source for our 12v Elecraft transceivers? Certainly linear, but only
