[Elecraft] Musings on Noise Reduction

I ran a single-op QRP effort in the ARRL 160M contest this weekend. I ran about half the time with my K2, and the other half with my K3 @ 5 watts. It was interesting to compare the two rigs. I did not run any laboratory tests, so this clearly falls into the category of opinion. But the K2 DSP

[Elecraft] K3 #611 QRV

The Mojo continues! I finished the K3 this weekend. The first two answers to my CQ were Paraguay and Chile. Then I worked 5T5DC split on 40M. So, how do you get non-DX stations to answer you? :-) I am still learning the rig, but wow -- that receiver is sure quiet. I am loving life!

[Elecraft] Filter preset question

With the FM filter in slot 1 and the 2.7 kHz filter in slot 3 (slot 2 empty). The latest firmware is installed: I go to any band and select USB. The rig is set at 6.0 kHz bandwidth and FL1 is selected. I change it to 2.7 kHz and FL3. I then go to CW on another band. When I switch

[Elecraft] I can't take it any more . . .

I tried and tried, but I finally had to give in. I ordered my K3 today. Delivery will be late November or early December. 73, John, WA6L ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Optical Encoder Test Problem

My K2 just started doing the same thing. I redid all the solder joints between the board and the encoder, then checked the list archives to see if anyone else had that problem. I am going to order and install a new encoder. The reason I think that it is the encoder itself is that with

[Elecraft] CQ Field Day de K6S

Special event station K6S will be operating from the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life at the UCSD campus in La Jolla California. This will be a 2B (solar and battery) QRP operation featuring a K2, a K1, and a PSK-20 from Small Wonder Labs. We will undoubtedly be doing a lot of

Re: [Elecraft] K2 CW and DSP

Excellent!! Thanks for taking the time to write and for the in-depth explanation. I am constantly amazed (and grateful) for the expertise available here on the reflector. I will be working to correct the problem this weekend. I have used Spectrogram (though obviously not well) and

[Elecraft] K2 CW and DSP

I've been experimenting with the DSP filters on my K2 and I have found several combinations of DSP and crystal filtering that work very well on CW (at least for me). However, I have run into a strange phenomenon. Here is how I reproduce it: I set my crystal filter at its widest

[Elecraft] K2: No 12m or 10m Transmit

Hi, Folks, I lost power out on both 10 Meters and 12 Meters. Reception on those bands is fine. Other bands put out full power. Any ideas of where to look? I would think that the band-pass filters are good if I can receive. I'm not sure what else is specific to those two bands.

[Elecraft] K3 and K2

From what I've seen of the K3, it is truly an impressive rig! But I think I am going to stick with my plans to build a K2 this summer. Having built the K1, I think I am hooked on the full-blown kit- building experience. So with that said, what is the future of the K2 (and K1)? How long
