[Elecraft] K4 Field Day configuration notes

2021-06-22 Thread Wayne Burdick
Field Day stresses most radios (and their operators) more than usual. That's part of the "fun" :) Beta release 18 of the K4 software provides an "RX Dynamic Range Optimization" menu entry that should be turned ON for Field Day, even if you normally leave it off. This configures the A-to-D

Jerry... I'm not an expert on the K2, just a die hard fan. Others will advise you on the upgrade(s). I'm pretty sure the upgrade "kits" are available from Elecraft. That said, once you're satisfied with your upgrade you can go all the way a purchase the complete, current kit from Elecraft and
