[Elecraft] OT: Kenwood's new rig?

Let us not be too hasty to judge this beast. According to the Elecraft price sheet, a comparable K3 setup will cost almost $6800 and that does not give you a power supply or 200W, which is included with the Kenwood. Dave __ Elecraft ma

[Elecraft] KX3 pics

With all this interesting talk about the KX3, about the only thing that I can think that this radio needs is a ruggedized housing. It may be a nice portable radio or suited for EMCOMM but I hate to have one sitting on a table when it begins to rain or on a bicycle with sweat dripping in through

[Elecraft] K3 PowerPoint presentation

This presentation is interesting and informative. Although the K3 is undoubtedly an excellent radio, why must we hide behind the price of it by showing the cost of other radios it is being compared to? >From my calculations, a K3 WITHOUT a band-scope or panadapter or spectrum >display that is b

[Elecraft] ADT-200A Fully DSP transceiver

The electrical specs of this radio may not be as "good" as the K3 or other radios for that matter but, you can't ignore the construction of this radio. It looks like it is using mil-spec construction techniques, which isn't cheap to implement. If the Elecraft radios had an option to purchase th

[Elecraft] P3 weight

A quick comment for those that may think the P3 may slide around. If it is going to use the 2-dimensional fasteners, there is an easy way to add weight and structural rigidity at the same time. I replaced all the 2-D fasteners (where possible) with 1/2" copper bar stock on a K2. I drilled a

[Elecraft] Katiegram - Stay or go, yes or no...N1AS

Forgive my biting sarcasm...You are one of the most vocal supporters for Elecraft products and you knew the cost of getting into the game. You've made negative comments regarding other manufacturer's radios and now you are CONTEMPLATING excuting your contract? PLEASE! Buy the radio and quit th

[Elecraft] K3 pan-adapter question

Hi, I was looking at the Clifton Laboratories (Jack Smith)website and comparing his panoramic adapter to TelepostInc (Larry Phipps) LP-PAN. It seems to me that the Clifton Laboratories adapter is a sophisticated spectrum analyzer with a lot of well developed software and requisite electronics.

Re: [Elecraft] Announcing the Elecraft K3 Transceiver: 10/100W, 160-6m

Congratulations on the introduction of the K3! I am a fan of Elecraft but I won't be buying a K3. Our K2 still has some recognized defects that haven't been addressed in over 6000 units and almost 10 years of production. Although the K3 seems to take into account a lot of the comments we've made

[Elecraft] Re:K2 compared to others rigs

Hi Phil, A bare-bones K2 is a fine radio, although there are still a couple of unresolved issues, like the tuning clunks you hear on crowded bands, due to the synthesizer. I'm still puzzled why it hasn't been addressed. If you can ignore that, then it performs very well even without the convenie

[Elecraft] Tuning noise on K2 - 40M

Hi, I was tuning around on 40M this evening and noticed some clicks when I tuned from 7119.82 to 7120.00. I started checking and I noticed this behavior from about 7050 through 7320...every 10 KHz. If I disconnect my antenna this problem goes away. The problem remains if I use the attenuator or

[Elecraft] OT: Help with Atlas 350XL

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience in modifying/repairing the Atlas 350XL transceiver. I am particularly interested in alignment and modifying the AGC. Thanks Dave. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam prot
