[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

2017-02-04 Thread kev...@coho.net
Good Evening, I have been scanning the lower bands since mid-December. For the last two weeks activity on 160 and 80 meters has slowed. I was hoping for better. Upon checking SpaceWeather.com I find the sun is still streaming ions our way; in fact there is a wind at the moment. I

HiThe first thing I would do is to uninstall any drivers for serial ports you have on your system using the device manager. In the process, you will see a check box to delete the driver. Select this.Reboot. Next download the ftdi drivers and do the install of the driver software. Then, plug in

[Elecraft] Failure to Load Drivers for K3 & KAT500

I recently got my K3 back from the shop. In the interim I had other radios to use. When I plugged the USB cables from both the KAT500 and K3 neither were recognized by the computer running Win 7 and drivers would not install after going through the usual process. The computer is acting like there

The rule of thumb is to over design the system.  I have nearly the same system with a few differences.  I don't use a distribution panel,  rather my 2x 140 AHr batteries and the solar panel are netted at the K3 with a 5 Farad cap 12" from the K3.  I monitor the voltage at the connector of the

I find where the voltage drop is much like checking the drop across a resistor in circuit. ie. use a volt-meter across each end of the segment under test. (The volt-meter is parallel to the segment being tested) It may be just a poor connection, or not. Dick, n0ce On 2/4/2017 6:17 PM,

I did some checking today on my voltage to the K3 using two different routes. I am using an Astron RS-35m power supply. It was tuned up to output slightly under 14v. Normally it mediates through a PG40s backup and switching device, connected to three 140AH backup batteries as well as the

[Elecraft] Confused about K3 to K3S Migration service

2017-02-04 Thread Chuck Guenther
Thanks, Lyle, (and others). I guess what I really want (and can currently afford) is an upgraded K3, not a new K3S. I have an earlier s/n K3 (#1061), and have done some of the mods, but not all of them. For example, I have the new synthesizer, but not the upgraded DSP board, or even the

I'm puzzled also I think you get both radios back, and if you want to upgrade the older K3 (like to the new synthesizer board) if you buy the board, they'll install it for the 199.99 flat fee.but I admit, it is confusing -Original Message- From: Chuck Guenther Sent:

I've read the Elecraft offer in the recent newsletter. Here is my understanding of the migration service, which may be completely wrong: I purchase a new K3S and pay $200.00 to have Elecraft install options from my old K3 in the K3S, and I get back a new K3S (containing options taken from my

Nah, just keep saying the word 'sale'... that's in most females vocabulary even if they don't grok ham radio. ;-) Then you can mention you also saved by buying the kit form, which also keeps you out of her hair for hours while building, using and researching for more. It's winnable. Relate

I have been using the K3 and KPA500 on AM lately and I have to say, it has opened a whole new world to me - or returned me to a past world. I made a set of AM settings in the EQ and am getting great audio reports . The KPA500 develops enough power to keep me in the running 99% of the time. No
