Norm and all,
I bring mine down off the shelf every so often (a 4 bander), but not as often
as it deserves! I still remember how much fun it was to build it, and how
exciting it was when everything worked as predicted!!!
The KX1 sort of lost momentum, partly due to subsequent alternatives,

in the CW SS a couple of weeks ago with this setup for about

Perhaps we need some contests where the weight of the entire
setup: radio, computer (if needed), power supply, antenna, and
antenna supports is part of the scoring. Extra points for
distance from and altitude above the trailhead. :-)

How about extra bonus points based on age? :-)

Yes, keep the wallet ready as there will be more to buy. After nearly 20
years owning Elecraft, not to mention, Wayne's other "stuff", never ever think
there won't be more.

I’ve been getting emails on the Elecraft reflector today but stopped getting

I sent a note out to the QRP-L but no response in the past 2 hours.
Anyone what’s going on with the QRP-L email reflector?

I'm trying to find the schematic for the KPA500.
The unit was powered on and it came up in operate mode while the HF radio
was in TX at 100w on 6M. End result is that the magic smoke got out. :)
Before I take it apart to find the offending part, a schematic would be
useful.

With that scoring scheme, some of us could win without making a QSO! :-( I
remember when an OT was someone in their 50s or had a 1x2 call.

My first use of the AX1 was with my KX2 sitting at my kitchen table. I had a
couple of FT8 QSO's on 20M. The largest part of my station was my laptop!

I've not checked in detail what PTT inhibit the KX3 has, but I have
tripped it up on one occasion in the past, but I forget how how I
un-tripped it!
Certainly in some circumstances an external "interlock loop" could be
useful to have, or a key switch on the front!
