Re: [Elecraft] 7610 / k3 ... amp comparisons

That was a completely understandable post. If you have trouble with conversational prose, please reset your ears before you criticize an experienced operator. Somebody like N7WS doesn't deserve amateurish (not in the good sense) criticism. -- 73, N3Sz On Tuesday, July 24, 2018, Wes Stewart

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Antenna Analyzer Program

Walter, thanks. The sweep’s output is within +/- 0.2 of my MFJ, and is fun to use. I have found that calibrating my Metric Ford Wrench before tightening any connectors improves all the results. 73, Jim N3SZ On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 1:44 PM Fred Jensen wrote: > Oh for Pete's

Got the Chrome extension and it does work with the KX2. But no “sweep” utility. Any idea where it might be? 73 Jim N3SZ On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 11:23 AM Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: > " The common terminology is such a disaster that it is tiring to fight it." > > Too right! > > 73,

[Elecraft] KX2 Antenna Analyzer Program

I saw and carefully bookmarked an article on a software utility that would allow the KX2 to act as an antenna analyzer. And lost the bookmark. Unless that was a dream/fantasy, would someone kindly Elmer me along and remind me where that resource is? My considerable googling skills have proved for

[Elecraft] Lighter-than-air (LTA) ships

As a young Naval Aviator, many of my elders, including one commanding officer, were former LTA pilots. God forbid one should utter “blimp.” They used to refer to “lightening,” which was one of the ways that they could get rid of ballast to lighten ship and avoid plunging to their deaths. So

I think I learned code all wrong. Can't ever seem to get my speed up. Surely some of the astute among you _know_ The Perfect Method, and I hope you will share? To complete the OT-ness of this msg, I recently completed the QRP Labs Ultimate WSPR/QRSS kit and re-learned the joys of soldering iron

[Elecraft] OT: HRD multiple "stations" AND portable comfort

First post, and sorry it's off topic. I have been fruitlessly searching for a convenient way to switch HRD v6 between locations and rigs/antennas. Any help? As I approach my 72nd birthday, sitting on the ground after throwing a randomwire into a tree is difficult. I'd like to find an integral

[Elecraft] K2X HRD PTT interface

First post. Connecting KX2 to HRD on Surface Pro 3 using provided ACC-USB cable, and audio via cables to a USB sound dongle. PSK-31 using USB mode on 20M: Receive works great. When I transmit, TX light comes on, data is sent, but TX light stays on even though transmit power drops to zero. Would
