Sounds like Bob Milne has two brains, or perhaps he’s using left and right side for the same purpose. He’d certainly give so-called AI a run for its money. Remarkable. Well done with the harmonica and guitar. I’ve seen it done but not tried it myself, mainly because I’m abysmal with a guitar.

Hi , I hope this is the right group to ask I would like to use a K3S for my HF mobile (CW) operation positioned in the trunk of the car. 1. Is it possible controlling it only with one shielded control cable to a K3/0-min (light weight), installed near the dashboard? 2. If so ,

Many ops have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of K4 Remote. Although it's not yet available for general release, several field testers have been exercising it. (K4-to-K4, not K4/0 or PC-based VK4 although those are in progress inside Elecraft.) I've made over a thousand remote contacts with

Actually with Theatre Pipe organs (as opposed to trackers) the key press to pipe speaking is almost instantaneous except with some bass pipes which are naturally a bit slow - it takes some time for sound to travel the length of a 16’ or (worse) 32’ pipe, or if a particular magnet is a bit

I love my K3/KPA-1500, and most all the Elecraft owners I know of around here share this enthusiasm.  Since the pandemic, though, the service department seems to be over-stressed, with delays of 5-7 weeks before repairs are begun seeming common.  For us on the East coast, you can add another 2

As a retired software QC engineer (UNIX OS and layered products), I'm curiousas to what kind of testing would be needed at a mountain QTH versus a valley QTH. :-) In all seriousness, congratulations - I can easily imagine that it's been a LOT of work,and I'm sure all of us are sincerely

People have been requesting that for years, but I've never even seen a response from Elecraft on it.  I doubt they will this time either.  They clearly aren't interested in setting up a third party repair center. Dave   AB7E On 12/14/2023 8:38 AM, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: I love my

I thought that what people really wanted was the promised app that would let users remotely control the K4 from their desktop or other device. Buying two K4s seems like a very financially inefficient way to go.  Bidirectionality doesn't sound like a practical plus. Dave   AB7E On

It’s even more of an issue for those of us outside the USA. Shipping a relatively large and valuable parcel is hugely expensive, in both carriage and insurance. Elecraft did have a UK dealer, but currently the only repair option is California or possibly Italy. Not having a service manual makes

They clearly aren't interested in setting up a third party repair center. Given the cost of setting up and running a second "factory warranty/repair center" it just doesn't make sense. Notice that none of the other radio manufacturers offer duplicate facilities on the east/west coast ... even

Dear OMs, The problem is that radio prices would almost certainly need to go up to give the dealer a margin after his/her own expenses. An independent service facility would be nice but is there adequate business in this?Not so sure we in EI could easily use a UK service facility.
