I recently saw this happen on W6NV's P3 after upgrading the firmware from a very old version to the most recent version in one jump, or perhaps I accidentally removed power from the back of the P3 while it was on, while simultaneously bumping one of the front panel buttons. Reloading the firmware

Hi All. I've been monitoring this list for a while, and have gained some useful insights from the posts. And now I have a question... I built my K3S #11310 last July, and I added the 100 watt amp and sub-receiver last December. A few weeks ago, I started hearing some unusual tones around

You'll need a KXUSB (if your computer has USB hubs) or a KXSER (if your computer has a true RS-232 port) or make up the equivalent. These are available from Elecraft, on the product list (www.elecraft.com/elecraft_prod_list.htm) The KAT500 has a very limited number of LEDs and buttons for user

Good evening everyone. I just added a used KAT500 to my lineup (waiting for the KPA1500 backlog to clear before I order) and it's working great.  The person that I purchase it from did not include the RS232 cable that has the small data jack on the one end to program the KAT500. I use one

Hi Joe, You made a comment about "bolted" connections. I hope I understood you correctly, as I now don't feel so bad about using old fashioned screw terminal blocks for all DC power. I feel they provide solid, unmoving, and permanent connections. I do not like the push on Power Poles, as I

I have been working on bonding my station equipment and have come the issue of bonding/RFI fixes to the VS-35M. I have read that it is suggested to scrape the paint around the green wire from the ac round plug attachment point to the case. But there is also a small black wire that bonds the V-
