Re: [Elecraft] This will effect pilots and Hams throughout the Western US

As a precaution for those in the affected area using the K3EXREF module, you might go to ref cal, wait for the asterisk to flash, hit A/B once and disconnect the GPS till the test is over. 73, Gary KA1J > On Fri, 2016-06-10 at 17:32 -0500, Jim Sheldon wrote: > > Actually it Is of concern to

[Elecraft] K2 for Sale

Hello, As you know, I repair and tune Elecraft K2s, and I just finished a repair and tuneup two days ago for N5IA. When I called to let him know it was ready to ship back to him, I was appalled to find he had become a silent key the day before. See http://qrz.com for more info from his son. His

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KXPD2 Vs. KXPD3

Hi Phil, We're getting close to shipping KXPD2s. We made some minor changes to the design, and we always extensively retest in this case to ensure high reliability in the field. I've been using my updated unit all over the place, from the storied riparian forests of San Mateo county to the 10%

Re: [Elecraft] AF-1 Rev A - J2 AF Out Looks Different?

Confirmed! I finished the build and it works just fine. Quite a nice filter - adds a lot to the KX-1 (or takes a lot away of the noise, I should say). BRET/KC1CJN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/AF-1-Rev-A-J2-AF-Out-Looks-Different-tp7618771p7618775.html

Hi Ron, Now that I look, I guess the PCB change has the same circuit once I solder the jumper. Thanks for the keen eyes! 73, BRET/KC1CJN - Original Message - From: "Ron D'Eau Claire" To: "MaverickNH" , elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent:

Re: [Elecraft] AF-1 Rev A - J2 AF Out Looks Different?

HI Bret: I don't see the difference other than your image being rotated 90 degrees. It's common for the boards to get revised and the manual is not updated if the changes don't require a change to the assembly instructions. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: Elecraft

The KXPD2 is smaller and a newer design. I'd wait for the new one. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Jun 11, 2016, at 4:14 AM, Phil Wheeler wrote: > > I just received my KX2, and have planned to add the KXPD2 as soon as it is > available. No KXPD3 on hand because I

Sounds like ordering the KXPD2 was the right move for me, Ron. Good to have the confirmation from you and Don. 73, Phil W7OX On 6/11/16 8:37 AM, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: In addition to Don's observation about the length of the paddles (and so the tendency to move the rig around on the desk

[Elecraft] AF-1 Rev A - J2 AF Out Looks Different?

I'm building the Elecraft AF-1 Audio Filter. My PCB has "REV A" printed lower left. I see pictures of a "REV XA" on the web, but mine definitely say "REV A" only. The "REV B" manual http://www.elecraft.com/manual/E740102%20AF1%20Active%20Audio%20Filter%20Rev%20B.pdf shows that modifications are

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD2 Vs. KXPD3

In addition to Don's observation about the length of the paddles (and so the tendency to move the rig around on the desk while slapping away), so far the KXPD2 does not have an option of heavy or light springs. As a bit of a "slapper" myself, I never saw the need for lighter or heavier springs,

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KXPD2 Vs. KXPD3

Thanks, Don. Just the sort of input I'm looking for: I am a paddle slapper -- and one reason I don't plan to use the Begali Adventure, since it sticks out even farther. 73, Phil W7OX On 6/11/16 4:56 AM, Don Wilhelm donw...@embarqmail.com [KX3] wrote: Phil, The KXPD2 has shorter "arms"

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KXPD2 Vs. KXPD3

Phil, The KXPD2 has shorter "arms" than the KXPD3. When presenting the KX2 at FDIM he mentioned that he 'slaps' the paddles and that caused his KX3 to 'walk' as he is keying. The KXPD2 with its shorter arms reduces that 'walking' significantly. That may or may not be applicable to you, but it

[Elecraft] K3 RX protection

Really screwed up. I was using a pulse generator (5 V, 50 ns wide, 10 milliseconds between pulses) to look at the health of the antennas/coax. Connected it to the wrong coax. Result it went into the K3. First indication something was wrong: The the scope traces looked goofy. Oh ###

Re: [Elecraft] Dead K3 RX, no Power Out

Martin, I would try giving each of the TMP cables a slight twist. Secondly, I would remove and reseat the front panel board. No guarantee that will correct it, but it is a good starting point. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/11/2016 7:35 AM, Martin wrote: 'Crafters, i have a 7 year old K3 #28xx causing

[Elecraft] KXPD2 Vs. KXPD3

I just received my KX2, and have planned to add the KXPD2 as soon as it is available. No KXPD3 on hand because I use a Begali Adventure with my KX3. But for the KX2 I'd like a paddle with a smaller profile. My KX2 order included a KXPD2, but I see from photos here and there that the KXPD3

Re: [Elecraft] This will effect pilots and Hams throughout the Western US

Disrupting isn’t the same as turning off! As was found during a test over here, a number of systems rely upon GPS time signals and can happily revert to their own internal clock for a while if the GPS is off — but not if the GPS signal is disrupted. The primary network clock for the main
