Re: [Elecraft] AX1 dipole

For a similar 10M version, look at N1LO's 10M Wire Collinear Super J-Pole which you can find at Nylo's Notepad Antenna Page. I have built and installed several of these vertical antennas over the years, hanging from tall tree limbs and stacked telescopic fiberglass poles. My EZNEC model shows

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Battery Low

Keith, That was the problem. Somehow, I had accidentally bumped the variable voltage control on the power supply down to 10 volts. During the contest, I kept wondering why the dial screen was dimmer and flickered during SSB transmit. I chalked that up to knowing I was using a marginal AC

[Elecraft] K3 Battery Low

Just set up at portable location for the CQ WPX Contest and am getting the 'Bat Low' warning. Is it safe to operate for a few days, or do I need to go find a battery before starting the contest? 73, Henry - K4TMC (K3 #98 with original battery)

[Elecraft] Windcamp X3 Li-ion Battery Box usage?

I keep seeing these on eBay. They look neat with packaging that matches, and attaches to, the KX3. Looks like a good way to have an external battery pack versus keeping batteries inside the KX3. Wonder if anyone has tried one of these? Windcamp says to only use the 18650 batteries with a flat

I have found that the Rust-oleum Automotive Primer spray can, number 2089 DARK GRAY PRIMER, is a very close match for the K2 color. Note that the 2081 LIGHT GRAY version is too light. The 2089 goes on very dark, and is almost black while wet. It is readily available at Home Depot stores. 73,
