[Elecraft] Interconnecting KPA500 to KTA500 and ANAN7000dle

"To add to what Jack said, several of us use Kenwood transceiver (TS-590 and TS-890) with KPA500-KAT500 combos. The Aux cable is useless. To get the KPA500 to follow the radio frequency, here is the circuit of the homemade 9-pin cables we are using:

Re: [Elecraft] Chasing paddles around desk top

Have any of you with key chasing problems tried putting the key on a piece of a mouse pad?  Don't be afraid to cut it, it is an inexpensive solution (sometimes free). I use a key with a very heavy base (Tony Baleno key) and do not have a problem even though I am a 'slap paddles' type. Try the

[Elecraft] The next generation KAT500

The next generation KAT500 should measure the complex load impedance, including the sign of X, compute the L and C required to match, and plug in those values as the initial tuning solution. Why wouldn't this approach be better than flailing around in the dark like most auto tuners seem to do?

I use an inverted mouse pad; thicker is better. Dave, W8OV __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted

It doesn't leave residue -- I think it just leaves the rubber (or whichever) cleaner than water or spit would, so there's less oil/dust/etc. and the runner's natural tackiness can work. On Thu, Jul 8, 2021, 18:28 David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: > Isopropyl Alcohol should not leave any residue! >

Re: [Elecraft] Chasing paddles around desk top

Unfortunately, the table I have the key on does not have a nice, smooth surface. It's a plastic table that is stored in the right side armrest of my recliner, and swings up on a support arm. The surface is too hard and irregular for the rubber feet to gain any purchase. To combat this, I have a

A short strip of friction tape under the feet works well also.   Mike AC5P On Thursday, July 8, 2021, 03:07:37 PM CDT, Walter Underwood wrote: Yep, Museum Wax is the good stuff. https://www.amazon.com/Quakehold-66111-Museum-Ounce-Clear/dp/B000FJU29U

I often use isopropyl alcohol for this -- once it dries it tends to leave things tackier than water or spit would. It will eventually trash rubber feet, though, so you have to be okay treating those as occasional consumables. On Thu, Jul 8, 2021 at 3:40 PM Frank Krozel wrote: > And there goes

[Elecraft] A or B?

I think the definitions of Mode A and Mode B are a little soft. I've taken it (mode B) as having element insertion when a paddle is tapped with the opposite paddle closed. For example, if I'm sending a string of dashes and I tap and release the dot paddle while one of the dashes is being sent, do

Re: [Elecraft] A or B?

I'm a big fan of single lever paddles as well. I've got Steve W1SFR's Torsion Bar Cootie Paddle, and I adore it. The only issue I had was that it was too light, and skittered around. I guess that's why Steve made another version, the Fat Boy, with a much thicker and heavier base. I'd tried to

Re: [Elecraft] A or B?

Ted, Thanks for the link to that excellent article. I agree that a single lever paddle is a good option. Mine is from N0SA #145. I also enjoy my Begali Magnetic Classic with a WinKeyer in Ultimatic mode, which makes it essentially single lever. Both serve well at "normal" speeds up to about
