Good Evening,
The sun popped out for a few minutes after a misty, wet day. This
weather is perfect for growing ferns. Some of them are now over ten
feet tall. They are filling any hollows in the terrain. Occasionally
you will see one get pulled down out of the canopy. This is about the
I actually had an HW16 for a little while around 1993. I bought it at a
hamfest, complete with the HG10 VFO, and the crystal and what not to reverse
the mod that moved it from 15 meters to 20 meters if I so chose. I did not so
choose. It was a fun rig, and I had no trouble with it, even tuning
I guess you got off on a light sentence!! LOL
I still have my HW-16 with the HG10B VFO. Guess I should under cover it
just to make sure it still works. Although I lost my first two log books I
still remember my first contact back in May of 1976.

The HW-16 was a great rig back then, with silent QSK and a good crystal
filter.
I remember getting frustrated one night, and I cranked the PWR knob past
the red mark on the plate-current meter that showed the 75-watt Novice DC
input plate current limit. I had just turned 17, and worked 50 hrs at
Mike, I lived in New England for about 15 years and know I'm not the first to
talk to you in direct terms.
Used to sail in Marblehead and know just how snotty people there can be.
If you don't find my very useful and concise advice to be "constructive" that's
your problem.

Hello group.
I found a pair of K3 synthesizer upgrade kits and have them installed and
working. So please disregard by previous post.

That's why I didn't remember it -- my General was '56, Extra in '59.

Its long-term utility was limited by the one-year non-renewable Novice license
of that era.
It actually was a pretty good CW rig. I used it long after I upgraded
from Novice. W1AW used one for their Novice station for awhile.
It had true full break-in that worked perfectly. The receiver

The HW-16 is a vacuum tube, 90-watt (maximum) input, crystal-controlled CW-only
Novice-band transmitter and receiver kit with built-in AC power supply. It
covered the CW portion of only 80m, 40m, and 15m. It was sold by Heath from
1967 to 1976. Its 1967
I have not had the problem of devices “moving” on the Mac. I think the Mac uses
the FDTI serial number to keep them straight. When I was using a RS-232
protocol analyzer on to chase a problem, I had 4 Elecraft FTDI RS-232 <—> USB
cables hooked up. Two for the two directions of the analyzer, one
As with most modern radios, the RF gain control is actually an IF gain control
that scales the signal level mathematically at the input to the DSP. It's often
used by operators who like to manually control the level of signal ahead of the
DSP AGC.
This is different from "hard" front-end gain
Hello K3 user group:
I have a K3 with the original synthesizer boards. I am looking for a pair of
the new KSYN3A boards.
I have spoken to Elecraft tech support and I am on their list in case they
decide (Wayne, you might comment) to make a run of new synthesizer boards.
The Tech Rep I spoke
Thanks for this. I will try to see what the COM devices are supposedly
connected to when it's in failure mode but it's all very cryptic.
I have already deleted old phantom devices during the first phase of
troubleshooting, as well as deleted all unnecessary software from the system.

My boyhood neighbor and "Elmer", Lee, W7UVR (see my QRZ page) fell into a trust

rig using a Geloso VFO driving an HK57. I begged him to

Thanks for the responses. The KPA1500 manual says just 1" on the sides of
the RF deck and PS is adequate, so I think I'll be OK--as will my HW-16.
