Unfortunately, Dwight, the previous owner has not added #3095 to the Elecraft Owner Database at http://www.zerobeat.net/qrp/elowners.html There are some near that serial number dated around May 2010. I hope that helps. You might like to add yours to the database. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent

Re: [Elecraft] K3 12v ERR - Deoxit

I have never had such problems with my K2 which uses a front panel/control unit coupled to the main board with connectors. It does seem a design modification is desirable for the K3. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, Gary VK4FD garyvk...@gmail.com writes With several known issues with

Re: [Elecraft] New product opportunity

The K1, K2 and XV series of transverters were a distinctive dark grey (gray) by which the mojo Elecraft products were easily identified. Unfortunately, things turned to black when the KX1 was introduced. Despite black often being associated with death, Elecraft gave its reasons at the time.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 PS-1229 Battery???

Nidge - I have recently bought a Power-Sonic PS1221 12V 2.1Ah battery from www.battery-force.co.uk It is physically the same size as the PS1229 but of lower Ah. It works perfectly in my K2. It will cost you 15.44 including vat and PP. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, Nigel (Nidge) Smith

[Elecraft] P3 - Know bug?

I am getting a 'feature' with my P3 when using RIT. I find that the RIT frequency deviation displayed on the P3 is twice that of the RIT deviation displayed on the K3. As far as I am aware I have the latest firmware installed on both my K3 and my P3. Is this a know bug or do I have a fault

It already is, Jim; it's called the K3, currently available for immediate despatch. For QRP, order it without the 100W PA. Or maybe the K2 if you prefer to build it yourself. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, Jim Stoneback jstoneb...@comcast.net writes I'm wondering if there is any chance

Re: [Elecraft] KPA3 Rev. B schematic ?

I would be interested in this too, Win. The schematics file of 11-Oct-2007 has Rev XK and the files of 13-Jan-2010, 17-Jun-2010 and 30-Oct-2010 all have the schematics of KPA3 Rev C, but Rev B is missing. I wonder whether Rev B is the same as Rev XK ? 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Crystal Grounding Leads

FWIW, I have always found it useful to scratch the surface of the crystals and tin them prior to mounting them on the board. It clears any tarnishing of the cans between time of manufacture and assembly and makes soldering easier. 73 De David G4DMP In a recent message, Don Wilhelm
