Re: [Elecraft] Mysterious K3 Symptoms - RFI?

Try upgrading your WiFi to 5 GHz, which has a few hundred channels available. 2.4 GHz Wifi has only a dozen channels, and practically, you can only use 3 of them in a crowded situation, due to overlap of adjacent channels. 2.4 GHz WiFi is a disaster in crowded situations, as you've found

Re: [Elecraft] K2/100 refurbishment

The highlights are: 1) * A MUCH quieter receiver (the BEST CW rig I've used over the past almost 50 years); * Better overall performance; * It is a living growing product (some things, still being fleshed out or developed) * Ability to manage via one real serial port, 2 USB com ports

Re: [Elecraft] Considering purchase of K4D

Hi Allen, If you're not already aware of it, there is a dedicated K4 forum on groups.io that is likely a richer source of answers to your question. The posts here regarding the K4 are infrequent. Be prepared for a fire hose of response when you pose your questions over there -

[Elecraft] Considering purchase of K4D

I am considering the purchase of a K4D, upgrading from K3+ ("+" means I have installed all available upgrades except the USB I/O board, but it is not quite a K3s), but I have a few questions and pardon me if these have been asked and answered before, as they probably have: 1. Other than

Although I don't have an amp, and ran my K3 barefoot, and run my K4D barefoot as well, I do have a 100 foot CAT5E cable running into the shack from the other end of the house, through the attic (there being no basement here in south Florida!). Initially, I was seeing a fair amount of noise
