Jim, OK that is reassuring. I will probably run it via cat5e cable and install my own RJ45 connectors so it can be custom length (and probably cheaper). My guess it will be better on crosstalk than commercially made ethernet cables. Answer to those who question my adversion to wireless:

Jeremy, Yes, an RF probe would be useful to evaluate the health of the crystal for 40 meters. Since those crystals are reliable, I suspect that you have a problem with the Pre-Mixer Bandpass Filter. You need to have at least 200mV peak to peak signal (70 mV measured with an RF Probe) to

Ed, I am also on DSL and have wired Ethernet throughout the house. Due to the long run to my house and the length of phone line in the house (entry to security system then back to the DSL modem - over 100 feet) the DSL/phone splitters did not work well, so the phone company installed a

[Elecraft] K1 Filter Board Issue

Hello, I recently finished the receiver portion of my K1 (40m/20m). I successfully aligned the 20m filters, but on 40m there is very little noise, and the noise does not change when there is an antenna connected. However, I have received some very nice signals on 20m. I have inspected the

Hi Ed, You can only mate a device with one receiver, as you suspected. That is so that you can have two keyboards, mice in the same area, and have them unambiguously belong to two different PC's. Being able to do otherwise would kill that very common commercial usage, like close-by desks. That

Need help figuring out what may be an elementary problem with a computer and the P3/SVGA. Here's my objective: I would like to use a single wireless keyboard / mouse both to operate the text functions on the P3/SVGA, and to enter data into the computer itself. While operating I like to
