Hello all, Having acquired a fully loaded K3s fairly recently I am behind the
curve of those fortunate enough to have a K4. Its taken several weeks to get a
decent handle on the K3s and now on to the P3. I have all the manuals
including Fred Cadys K3s and P3. I find the K3s to be excellent
Just a quick note asking if anyone has an SP-3 Elecraft Speaker to part with.
Have been looking for one for quite a while. Thanks73,JimK2hn

Help:
I give them a lot of credit for designing and putting
out quality kits. I believe ham radio and Heathkit
sparked a lot of future engineers and techs and I'm
sure these kits will do the same.

I still use the TR-4 for SSB and also have the R4B.
Using the same antenna the Drakes pull in the same
weak signals as my K2 except the K2 eliminates the
QRN/QRM quite a bit better. As far as sound quality,
using the Drake MS-4 cabinet with the original Drake
speaker and comparing it to the K2
Greg,
As I recall I received a membership certificate then
had to wait quite a while until the next Quarterly

you should be getting the certificate soon.

The theory was bad enough but what about the 20WPM

Hello All,
Progress temporarily halted by (who would ever guess)

instructions to something that reminds me of putting
toys together at Xmas Eve. Is this for real? Can
anyone tell me the secret. How many people does it

with the Big Red method. Sure someone has already

Follow directions in the manual with first foot and

regular screws in. Chew some
A little behind the curve since I haven't built a
kit this size since the Heathkit days. Picked the
K2 since at age 64 I need to keep the wheels
turning. All I can say is Very Impressive. If the
same minds who engineered the K2 are used on the K3,
its got to be a winner.

Many thanks for all the responses. The K1 was my initial thought to start out
and hopefully the K2 next. It's a real comfort to know this list is here with
some very generous people to help. To think the last kit I built there was no
such thing as the internet and big computers ran on tubes
Hello all,
Have been thinking about getting my feet wet with building either a K1 or KX1.
I see most posts seem to refer to the KX1. Aside from size and portability is
there any difference in performance in the two? I can work with either one but
would prefer the one with best performance.
