Has anyone thought about a K3-based solution for P3E or the American Eagle?
How would you get to 13cms / 23cms with the K3?

Richard,
U3B should be easy to test. The voltage at pin 7 should always be the
same as that at pin 5.
Set the P7 jumper to the EXT position and use the internal voltmeter
probe while checking.
Connect the probe to the 5 volt regulator (U5) output pin and monitor
the voltage at U3 pin 5 with

For L-band uplink, Down East Microwave

including some recent products that work directly from a 28 MHz IF.
They also offer S-band transverters with a 2m IF.

Recently I ordered an item from the USA and specified USPS International
Express Mail, I'm sure I've used that service in the past for Elecraft
bits and kits. One memorable occasion resulted in a delivery four days
after placing the order. Sadly, it seems the system has deteriorated as

Dave,
Our postal system has undergone some signifigant
changes recently, with many rate increases, lots of
size-related rate changes, etc.
I do considerable eBay selling and all the overseas
rates have changed along with allowable package
sizes, etc.
I suspect the shipping folks at Elecraft
Maybe wait for future K3 VHF/UHF modules?
Perhaps a KM1 weak signals oriented (CW, SSB) DSP based VHF to
microwave transceiver? Maybe vaguely similar to Bob W7PUA's DSP-10 2m
SDR/DSP transceiver. :-)
One of the problems with gear for 900 MHz and higher is that you really
want the RF deck
Hello,
As many of you know, I've been pretty active building and repairing
Elecrafts ...
... And recently I had a K2 come in after having a collision with a
runaway power supply. Extensive damage. Most modern supplies have a
protection circuit that drops a short across the supply if the

The package in question isn't from Elecraft. The problem lies with the
USPS Express Mail International service which states on their web site
(and I quote):
Speed 3 - 5 days.
The package has been 12 calendar days, or 8 Monday to Friday working
days so far. There will be tax to pay on

I'm using a linear tech LT4356CDE as shown in their application note
for Demo Circuit (DC) 1018A, to do the same thing, it ends up being
pretty compact. Some people may have issues getting the sense
resistors however.

We've now uploaded all of the Revision B Assembly manuals to the
Elecraft web page for the K3 and its options.

Hi Dave
That's pretty much exactly my experience too, about 10 days (longer in one
case where it was close to a US vacation). Last time though, it sat with UK
customs for 3 days! I've never tried UPS. I'm about to order some bits for
my new K1, so it'll be interesting to see how long that
It sounds like UK Customs have their claws into it. That usually adds between
1 and 2 weeks to the delivery. If it's a parcel, you'll get a letter from
Parcel Farce charging you 17.5% VAT on the commodity plus cost of carriage and,
depending on its category, import duty plus £8 handling fee.
Fixed! :-)
Thanks for catching this.

Dear Eric,
Thanks for the update, but ... ehhh ...
Some of the links got mixed up:
KBPF3 Manual (pdf) refers to KAT3

Hi,
My experience has been that any delay has always been here in the UK, either
Customs or ParcelForce.

That's fine for a barefoot K2, Alan, but what about the K2/100?
Re Matt's comment - surely you don't need current sense resistors for an over

is 4. SCR, zener, resistor, capacitor.

Dave,
If I were to do an OVP for a K2/100 ...
1. Different connectors,
2. A circuit breaker (a 20+ A supply would cause serious damage without
a fuse or breaker),
3. Change OVP-12 to the OVP-24 (20A continuous, 30A intermittent),
4. Bigger case, probably metal to act as heat sink (just in
I finally decided to test my older K1 with Spectrogram and found the BFO
frequency so close to the center of the filter it wasn't worth the trouble to
pull the screws from the cabinet and try to get the BFO moved closer.
BUT I did notice something: when changing between the three filters

Thanks Chuck. Will pass this on to the manual team for correction. It

I guess this is a question for Wayne and Eric.
I am on the market for a linear amp and I would love to buy an Elecraft amp
instead of Tokyo Hi-Power for instance. I am not in a terrible rush but I would
really like to do it in the next 3 to 6 months. I was wondering if there is any
progress
Need a second opinion with some Align/Test II results.
Item 1: PLL Reference OSC Range. Fref-high = 12100.5 kHz, Fref-low =
12091.0 kHz. Fdiff - 9.5 kHz. The manual says the diff. _must_ be 9.5
- 15 kHz. I'm a little low.
I followed the T/S steps and checked associated components C84, C85,
