[Elecraft] [KX3] KXSER and/or KXUSB cable

2011-12-30 Thread Ron - PE8E
Just wondering whether the KXSER cable is the same as the one provided with the XG3 and K144XV? If so, many of us allready have an appropriate cable and there would be no reason/need to swap the KXUSB for a KXSER when ordering a KX3. That also raises the question whether the KXUSB cable can be use

[Elecraft] Possible solution for missing RS-232 port on laptops

2011-05-17 Thread Ron - PE8E
There has been a lot of talk about the absence of "real serial ports" on more recent laptops. Here is something I recently discovered and want to share with you all. Maybe you can benefit ... Not to lang ago I received a HP Compaq 6710b laptop. On first sight there was no RS-232 output. With the

Hi Julian and fellow elecrafters, Sorry for the late response, but I'am a slow digest reader. I am at the exact same spot, also looking for a internal PCI-e soundcard to put in my new pc-assembly. My mainboard does have PCI slots, but I need them for other stuff. Creative, the manufacturer of th

[Elecraft] K3 and Codan antenna

Just a long shot, but I'm going to ask anyway. Is anyone out there using his (or her's) K3 with a Codan 9350 mobile antenna? Maybe one of the mates "down under"? I have some questions about interfacing a K3 with the antenna's builtin tuner. 73 de PE8E, Ron. _

[Elecraft] K3 Panel Screws - I'm Not Alone

Hi John, Phil and others, . Maybe they'll be offered by Elecraft . Elecraft does offer replacement screws, allthough not (yet) as a "complete" set. Look on the "Spare parts and Mod Kits" order page under "Miscellaneous". You find "FLTSCRKT" with 10 screws for a dollar. It says "for K1" bu

[Elecraft] [K3] 6m power regulation

2008-02-11 Thread Ron - PE8E
When playing around with the K3 (or should I say: during operational education) I noticed something that haven't read or seen mentioned anywhere. On all bands (except 6m) I can increase the power up to 12.0W in steps of 100mW. With KPA3 on "Bypass" (probably the same without the PA) that's the to
