[Elecraft] AX-1 whip antenna

2019-12-06 Thread Jobst Vandrey
I have been trying to come up with a antenna for use in an apartment with only limited success. I have now set up the Elecraft AX-1 antenna and it seems to play well with my K3 indoors with the antenna placed in a window supported by a folding camera tripod. One caveat is that there seems to be

Installed the TX monitor as I was building the new P3 adapter. Easy as others have indicted. After loading all the firmware from the production side of the Elecraft web site to test initial functionality, I loaded the Beta code to enable the TX Monitor features. Everything went well ... having

[Elecraft] Firmware for P3TXMON function

2015-08-03 Thread Jobst Vandrey
Looking at the software page for the P3, do we load the Beta 1.50 version (July 29th 2015 dated) for the TXMON capability, or is there something else in the works? As a side note, I hope that Elecraft eventually gets pictures up on the web site show casing the TX monitor function for the P3. In

[Elecraft] Multiple sensors with P3 transmit monitor

2015-08-03 Thread Jobst Vandrey
FYI When I was a volunteer at the Elecraft booth in Dayton, the question of multiple sensors was raised a number of times. During one such discussion, an individual from Elecraft seemed to indicate that if a switch was to be built, each sensor in the chain needed to have continuous power. His

[Elecraft] Tuner Loss question

I have lots of data in the loss to be expected in Coax or Open wire when running at higher SWR into a multiband antenna - however, I do NOT have any real world data on the losses to be expected in a tuner system at higher SWR. So: Are there any numbers available on what additional losses my

[Elecraft] K3 and Hamlib - issue confirmed

I checked the version of Hamlib available with the Sqeeze flavor of Debian. It is 1.2.11-1 and so considerably out of date vs the current version of 1.2.15-3. I'll wait a bit to see if a later version gets uploaded to Debian - otherwise, I'll face the music and try to compile it locally from
