Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

I have a medical background, this was my first kit of any kind to do with electronics. While I did not find it easy, I had no problems putting it together. However it was not intuitive for me and had to study (not just read) the instructions very carefully, and usually more than once or twice.

Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

I have built several kits of all kinds going back to Heathkit days and I built my own K2. I had a lot of problems with the sub-Rx installation. I have big hands and could not seem to be able to see to line things up properly, not to mention the pesky TMP connectors. I am at the point with

[Elecraft] PX3 Wish List

- The ability to add Center to one of the FN buttons. - Programmable band edge indicators. Could be like the MKRA and B lines down the display but a different color, like red. Also the ability to add band edge to the FN buttons. - More color options for the waterfall Thanks, -- Scott Russell,

Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

Funny IMO, some of the best design work I've ever seen especially considering the package volume vs. modularity and capability. However, I WILL confess I now own my own TMP tool, TMP connectors, coax stock, and assorted second end connectors in case I need/want to make one of those

Messing with the sub-receiver is such a PITA that I will procrastinate putting a new filter in for weeks before I gather the courage to pull it apart. Bob W3DK -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of George Thornton Sent: Wednesday,

[Elecraft] K3 Remote: RRC Device drivers under Windows 10

On my Win 7 machine, the RemoteRig box presents three (maybe four) virtual COM ports that identify themselves as Microbit Virtual COM ports in the Device Manager Ports listing. I just set up a Win 10 machine and the virtual ports materialize when I plug in the RRC-1258, but they appear as

Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

Well, I guess my point is, it would be nice if it were less fiddly and more "elegant". A modular radio that came apart with a lot less fuss. Plugin boards. It's a packaging problem. I love operating the radio. I'm just not keen on maintaining it. Bob - W3DK -Original Message-

Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

I get the "big hands in small spaces" complaint. I have very small hands and can do some stuff that some of my friends just simply cannot do. On the other hand there is no way I can swing a sledge hammer on a ground rod like they can. Ham friends that you can bribe with 807's and a backyard grill

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tuner getting stuck at 25.4:1 SWR

Hi all, I opened up the KX3 and pulled the ATU, everything seemed to be in order and the LPF was in the correct position. I put the original batteries back in to keep the testing the same as previously. They were a bit lower than I had previously thought, read 9V (alkaline). I put up a 20m

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote: RRC Device drivers under Windows 10

Interesting. On my Windows 7 Pro Dell Laptop, they show up with the RRC names. On my Windows 10 VM running on a Mac (shouldn't matter), they ALSO show up with the RRC Names. I'm running the latest incarnation of Windows 10, but don't know if that matters. If you run the Microbit setup, it

Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

I don't see what all the consternation is about either. Its not that big of a deal and I have the K3XREF (a little less room) in a K3s and a K3 and both radios have the sub receiver. Fiddly??? really? I don't think so.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Remote: RRC Device drivers under Windows 10

My desktop ["The Big Computer"] runs Win10 Pro, and does exactly what you describe. The 4 RRC virtual ports show up in Device Mangler, but are not identified as originating in the RRC box. On the laptop [Win10 Home], they carry the RRC label. Since they show up sequentially on the laptop

Re: [Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

Really? I have been quite please at the mechanical design of my Elecraft gear. Yes, the sub-Rec is a bit tricky to align but with a bit of care and I remove the side panel (with handle) for better view. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill On Apr 18, 2017, at 11:58 PM, Christopher Hoover

Terry, they do this all the time as you know which is why I do not read 90% of the posts. Perhaps our notes will point this out to the folks that are past about number 50 on a subject. Bob > On April 19, 2017 at 12:21 AM Terry Brown wrote: > > > This topic is taking on a life

Re: [Elecraft] Ground Rods and Congrete - Enough Said!

Unfortunately, lightning protection is one of the most discussed and least understood topics in amateur radio. A properly engineered and constructed Ufer ground works well but many seem to think that any amount of conductor buried in any amount of concrete in any configuration is a Ufer ground!
