[Elecraft] My last posting on the color code matter

Judging from the many responses, I obviously struck a chord with the color code limericks. (And only -one- was negative). Responders told of first hearing the various versions in military electronics schools ... even overseas, so they aren't unique to the US. 73! K0PP

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] VHF FM Operation

Bryan, It's -highly- unlikely either repeater involved transmits a CTCSS tone, which would be needed to accomplish what you want ... -very- few do. Do you know if either one does? A repeater directory should tell you. What's the call of the one you refer to? I can look it up for you if you

[Elecraft] To the Icom fans ...

If you're so happy with Icom's performance, why did you buy an Elecraft product? 73! K0PP __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post:

[Elecraft] FAR OT: Grounding and lightning

I should have been more specific in suggesting that grounds that might end up carrying a lightening charge not be run through concrete. The following is from personal "real world" experience. I know of two specific cases where tower bases were blown apart by lightning hits to the towers because

After retiring from my "regular" job, Rose (N7HKW) and I got into an OTR "18-Wheeler" for a million miles and five years. One incident involving Styrofoam peanuts comes to mind. We were called into a California border inspection station for what was supposed to be a routine inspection. The lady

What about cooling of the heatsink? Or is the unit just for "show"? 73! K0PP On Sat, Apr 7, 2018, 15:03 John Harper wrote: > I thought some here might appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into Hans' > W1JSB latest creation: > >

[Elecraft] OT: The bogus "20% of full scale figure"

Came from me. I apologize for my feeble old mind. Shudda looked at the several Bird manuals around here. Like many of us old timers I have several different Bird setups. As someone else mentioned, there are many versions that show up in the various hamfest and e-Bay venues. Never rely on a

Re: [Elecraft] DMM recommendations

Bill, As long as one keeps in mind that Bird's reputatiom for accuracy has become a thing of the past. There are many more current products that surpass them. Always bear in mind that their odd meters (30 uA) are very non-linear and measurements made using element ranges that fall in the bottom

Re: [Elecraft] Static Discharge Through K-Pod

The real issue here is the lack of household humidity. A humidifier is probably in the real fix. Several hours of a near-boiling pan of water on the kitchen stove would likely be enlightening. Or, get a "real' anti-static (desk size) work mat with wrist strap. I have one permanently atop my
