Hi All
I have just finished testing 5324 up to stage 2 and all working very well,
seems hot Rx on 40m,
Found the setting of L34 broad but seems to peek up just about ¼ to ½ of a
turn down, much more and the background noise comes up.
Other than that no problems im glad to say so off to start
Sorry, boys
I sent this problem to the wrong discussion group. Disregard it.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to improve the frequency stability of my K1, but I'm not
sure if I'm sort of at the limit here or not. I'm evaluating the
radio's capabilities for use as a 10-meter beacon, and have been
running it into a dummy load for a while, controlled by an external
PIC
Hi
That depends on the serial number. If the older K2 is below 3000 and has not
had the A to B mods installed then then the front panel, control board and
RF board are not interchangeable. If both K2 are above 3000 then you are
fine.

I rarely call CQ - especially when running QRP. But sometimes, a fella

Hi Art,
It has nothing to do with your email's content. Someone who is also
using the same send mail server as you at your ISP is spewing SPAM onto

The test test suggests a contest CQ. Probably from a automatic keyer or
a contest logging program. Some contesters just letem rip until they hear
a response through the keying.
There was a 160M CW contest over the weekend, so that was probably from that.

Hi
All new Elecraft products will have the latest firmware in effect at the
