2014-10-30 Thread Jim Miller
I can't find any specs or schematics for my ExtRef board that show the input impedance. Is it 50ohms (nominally)? 73 jim ab3cv __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

[Elecraft] WTB: Elecraft K1

2014-10-30 Thread Steve Ireland
G’day After my earlier ad for a basic Elecraft K1 (no extras) two-bander covering 40m and 20m, it was suggested to me off-list that I was cutting down my options and it would be better simply asking if there was anyone who had had a Elecraft K1 of any kind for sale. I think the writer had a

Re: [Elecraft] Now which mic can I use.

2014-10-30 Thread Edward R Cole
Joseph, As far as I know nothing wrong with the hand mic for the K3. I didn't need it as my K3 was destined for home use and not going mobile or portable. I had my Heil mic from when I got it for my FT-847 in 1998. All I needed was the proper mic cord to interface the K3 and that was the

I've had a Pioneer plasma for the past 12 years without any trace of noise. Admittedly all my receiving antennas are sited over 300 feet from the house. 73, Tom G3OLB __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] KX3 on SSB Mobile

2014-10-30 Thread Dauer, Edward
After a half-century of CW only I am about, at last, to try SSB. The rig is a KX3 operating from my car, into a Hustler mast with 15 and 20 meter resonators. For the moment the power supply is the car's cigar lighter; and the headset is Elecraft's standard-issue Heil, which I own but have

You should be able to get out OK on those antennas and bands. I managed a few QSOs with 10W, a K3, and a screwdriver antenna. Do carefully check for engine noise getting into the radio, both via RF and via the power supply. Follow the instructions on page 15 of the manual to set up your

Like any great station, most of the budget should go into the antenna. The Hustler will load and it might even radiate, but the resonators have low Q and are not very efficient. I just gave mine away last week, I now use a Tarheel (screwdriver) on my truck. If your budget insists on that
