[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

2018-10-14 Thread kevinr
Good Evening,    Both bands were quiet.  Signals were stronger on 40 meters but there was a slow and medium QSB.  There were two concerning reports however.  Snow?  Roy did mention how festive it looked then something about a shovel.  Half way through October and winter is sneaking in. 

[Elecraft] KPA500 Clicks & Pops

2018-10-14 Thread Bob McGraw K4TAX
What is the recommended solution to stopping the clicks and pops from the KPA500 as the amp heats during transmission and cools during receive?  I've seen one that suggested replacing the screws in the Z bracket with 4-40 x 1/4".    Any traction to this? The amp performs absolutely fantastic. 

[Elecraft] Today’s AX1 report

Today I climbed up McGinty Peak trail, a steep, rocky hike with a great payoff — a nearly 360 degree view of western San Diego county. At the top I pulled out the KX2 and used it HT style with the AX1. Bands were in moderately good shape. In short order I worked TI8II (20 CW), JA2CQZ (17

Re: [Elecraft] K2 C22 Adjustment Method Question

2018-10-14 Thread Don Wilhelm
Jim, You really need to use an AM station like WWV so you do not encounter the receive offset problem. Using Spectrogram to receive WWV can help you see the transmitted tone. There is a distinctive tone for one second at the start of each minute, even if you cannot see the 500 and 600 Hz

Good afternoon, A couple of weeks ago, I pulled # 7225 out of its long hibernation and finished it Friday night. It lives, and it has passed all of its tests! The only problem I had was during the VCO test. It was showing .00, and after about 4 hours, I found that C68 was not a 10pf cap -

[Elecraft] K3 Oddness

I had some weird stuff with my K3 this weekend. I had set it up in my car on Friday for a Saturday trip in the PA QSO Party. After a cool damp night, on Saturday morning the K3 was weird: every time I tuned a few KHz I heard relays clicking inside, I assume from the antenna tuner. And I was

It's in the kxpa100 utility, you can enable antenna ports per-band. On Sat, Oct 13, 2018, 22:18 Dauer, Edward wrote: > Way back when, I came across instructions for preventing the ANT button on > a KX3 driving a KXPA100 from changing antennas. It was useful then, to > avoid a no-antenna

[Elecraft] P3 S-meter

On the P3 on CW the signals seem always lower than on my Elecraft K3S (even 2 S-unit). This morning I tested the P3 S-meter with my HP8640 signal generator and I found that on every band the 50uV signal result in a perfect S9 on both K3S and P3. Now I think the real question is to introduce a
