Re: [Elecraft] Establishing A New Station

Hi,I hear stations not great but any ant is better than none! I normally use the AX1 on the ocean beach or up at Mt. Rainier NP parking lot. I live on the 3rd floor facing west and have a counterpoise stretched out behind the couch. My radio is a KX3 with a PX3 in the apartment while I'm out

[Elecraft] Frequency Display on PX3

I see photos of some PX3 screens where the span width markers (upper left and upper right) are frequencies. Mine is showing -100.0 and +100.0 for a setting of 200. I can’t seem to figure out how to change the display to show the frequencies. I am running the latest firmware version for the

"Just looked up “AlexLoop” - amazing presentation and price." More fun to build your own. I work into Asia most mornings on 30 m with mine. Tuning is not a major problem as the loop capacitor is driven by a geared DC motor via a pair of bias T. Only a single coax connects the loop to my

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/KX2 remote for FD

I can operate pretty much self-contained from home, and do so for statewide ARES exercises, where I serve as a designated OES in Illinois. I don't need outside electricity, phones, internet or repeaters. I gather messages (ICS-2130) from field stations via VHF/UHF Simplex (mostly) with a

Re: [Elecraft] Establishing A New Station..

Mag loops need retuned when you move a few kHz. If most of your operating is parking in a CW or digital sub-band and working that, a map loop should be great. Probably not quite as much fun for search and pounce. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) >

My thoughts on using a loop - none whatsoever. Will have to see what that piece of equipment might be. (Been away from HF since the mid seventies.) Your apt will be twice as high as my apt and maybe get twice as much wind, mine experiences plenty. I live on a corner of a building on the

Your mention of apartment living perked my interest as I will be moving into a condo on the 34th floor in a few months. I'll have a beautiful unobstructed view. An antenna has been on my mind. I don't like the idea of dropping a wire from the balcony. The wind could cause trouble. Im thinking

Re: [Elecraft] Establishing A New Station

Tommy, Since you want to add a panadapter later, you will need the KX3 rather than the KX2. There is no provision for a panadapter with the KX2. In your RV, the KXPA100/KAT100 can hide away somewhere away from your operating position - it does need a place where there is air circulation,

[Elecraft] No power out

I was doing FT8 and had made a few as when I suddenly had no power out. Did the basic trouble shooting with a dummy load.  Still no power out. Called Elecraft and they said that the low power amp was out. Did some on line research and found that when tuning up the external ant tuner at 5 watts
