[Elecraft] K2 muting et al

2023-01-22 Thread brianpepperdine brianpepperdine
Interesting to see some of the info on the K2 muting and T/R topic. It seems the person with the query appears to have a solution for his needs. Great. I was going to bring up the topic of Jim Kortge's Magic Box, which at one time was available from 4 States QRP Club. No longer though. Jim

[Elecraft] going back in time with the K1

2022-08-21 Thread brianpepperdine brianpepperdine
I have had a K1 here for some time now and it did not get a lot of attention. I was not all that happy with how fast it tuned. Well.. anyhow last week I had extra time on my hands so pulled out some of the neglected rigs. Found the K1 was a good rig.. made decent contacts. But I did find I

[Elecraft] K2 versus K3 specs

2022-07-14 Thread brianpepperdine brianpepperdine
I realize there are a myriad of differences between the K2 and K3, but today I read the specs in each owners manual and was somewhat surprised that the each is listed at about -135 dBm sensitivity (pre-amp on for K2...pre-amp off at - 130 dBm for K2). I was curious since I was

2022-07-12 Thread brianpepperdine brianpepperdine
Due to circumstances, I have a bit of time on my hands.. so I had elected to go thru my rigs here re. possible hamfests or private sales. First thing I decided to look at was my K2 with the amp integrated into it and the separate KAT100 tuner connected outboard. Things seemed fine overall and

[Elecraft] 99.9 % alcohol

2021-07-14 Thread brianpepperdine brianpepperdine
I have no idea, obviously, what the USA market offers, but here we get 99.9% (not 90%) isoprophyl alcohol. So much the better re. less residue of course. Admittedly it was a bit hard to get at the beginning of the pandemic but that seemed resolved with a couple months. Ages past I had to ask the

[Elecraft] using K3 with bug - no problemo

2021-05-09 Thread brianpepperdine brianpepperdine
I have used both my K3 and K3S with two Speed-X bugs - Les Logan and EF Johnson - since Oct 2019. Over 700 contacts in the log for the Straight Key Century Club. Some of those contacts were with different tube/boatanchor xmtr or QRP rigs, but the majority with the bug. I've not used a paddle
