[Elecraft] New K-Board Feature

Hi all, We want to let you know of a new feature in the QRPworks K-Board for the KX2, KX3, K3, K3S. In our first firmware release, using the free Message Management Utility that runs on a PC or Mac, you could define 10 named groups of 20 messages and/or rig macros (80 characters each). You then

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod Tuning rate

Hi Art, Wayne already answered this question: "The K3 and K3S both use all 400 counts of the VFO A and B encoders (100 pulses/track/revolution).  The K-Pod defaults to 200 counts. During our testing we found that this provided the best compromise between precision and "fussiness" for typical

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

My reading of the DXCC regs is that no contacts from a boat count for DXCC, even if the boat is in a harbor, tied to a dock, or floating on a lake entirely within the DXCC. So the snarky question is, does putting an antenna on a stand on the dock make it a portable operation the way an antenna

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Software Request

Not sure if you own a PX3 or whether a PX3 is appropriate for the type of portable operation in question, but I think the PX3 MSD (Mass Storage Device) feature is the closest thing to what you're looking for. You can save multiple configurations. Unfortunately, the PX3 currently only accepts a

[Elecraft] K-Pod Tuning rate

Hi all, Enjoying the K-Pod immensely. When using to control VFOs, I notice that the K-Pod changes frequency at exactly 50% of the setting used on the main VFOs. For example, with 200 CTS on VFO A, the frequency changes 2 Khz per revolution. Using the K-Pod, the QSY is only 1 Khz per

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

I don't know about other countries but in the UK we have (or at least had) a "MA" suffix, which stands for Maritime Anchored. 73, Alan. G4GNX -Original Message- From: Fred Jensen Sent: Wednesday, September 7, 2016 10:46 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [OT]

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Mobile/Portable gray zone

This is fairly easy and appears to (mostly) have world wide agreement. If you are operating from a vehicle, whether it's moving or stationary and transmission equipment is contained on or in the vehicle, in other words it's capable of being moved without alteration, then you are mobile. This

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Software Request

Larry, I don't know what "configurations" you may need, but for the most part, once set up there is little need to go into the menu and make changes. Several menu settings are per mode and others are per band. All those are remembered internally and there is no need for a computer to change

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Software Request

Don, This is better than nothing but I don't always have my computer with me when in portable operation. I would prefer the configurations be stored internally so I can recall them from the front panel. Just like I can now do with frequency storage memory. Regards, Larry KG7ZSB You cannot

Mike, I use both LOGic9 and N1MM+ successfully via the USB connection to the K3/0 mini, using USB at the PC end. Have used it with both K3 and K3S at the remote site, and K3/0 and K3/0 mini at the control site. Make sure you have the latest firmware in the RRC at the control end. When you
