Hey guys! I am looking for yellow/orange display LEDs like the ones used in K2.I would like to change the original green LEDs in the LCD of my K2 with yellow ones. Most of my equipment is using yellow/orange display lights and i really like the warm feeling of the yellow glow - like the

[Elecraft] LCD Voltmeter mod for KPA100/KAT100 in EC2

Hey guys, Recently somebody was nice enough to post information about some LCD front panel meters he found on internet (Thanks!!!). I thought that such meters will be a nice addition to my KPA/KAT in EC2. The front panel looks empty and it is only occupied by the LED indicators at the

Re: [Elecraft] K2 EXTERNAL VFO CONTROL

Chris, If you have a computer close by, you could use a remote control software - there are few good ones...including Ham Radio Deluxe or the one by Elecraft and you can use Power Mate from Griffin Technology as your VFO knob - http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/. It is USB

Re: [Elecraft] KBT2 charging

Hi Ron, The proper charging voltage is 13.8 V across the battery terminals (!). To get this voltage I have to supply my K2 (sn 2894) with ~14.1 V from the power supply because of the forward votage drop caused by the diode. Looks like you either need a separate power supply for charging or

[Elecraft] K2 - LCD front panel meters for KPA100/KAT100 in EC2

Hey guys, I posted on my blog ( http://blog.kotarak.net/ ) some text and pictures of KPA100/KAT100 in EC2 modification I did a few years ago. I installed a couple of LCD meters on the front panel of the EC2. This is a fun project and easy to do! Its been working just fine all those years. 73

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Glitch on Field Day

In the same Physics 101 class they teach that black painted objects radiate heat better - one reason why the anode of a tube and also heatsinks are black. The black painted box of the K3 will dissipate the internally generated heat better. I personally preffer the grey color of the K2. To me

Re: [Elecraft] How do I unsubscribe?

I think the whole reflector became too heavy with the introduction of the K3. It is difficult for me to keep track of what's going on, especially given the fact that I have no interest in K3 at this point. Eric and Wayne stated numerous times that they like to keep the momentum and don't want

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Schematics?

Looks like I am not the only one who is interested in the schematics and the block diagrams - evrybody is saying how great K3 would be but why we cant see any schematics in the manual and make our own conclusions? What is the deal with the schematics - are they not public? cant belive they are

[Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector

Guys, I would like to ask everybody to be a little bit considered when starting new threads on the reflector! Please use a convention which would allow for automatic sorting of the emails by the email client - it is very easy and it doesn't require much effort! For instance, please insert

Re: [Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector

Guess you missed the directive from Wayne/Eric earlier in the week saying the same thing. Sorry...I aplogize to everybody for the QRM than (I hope it is lost in the already high noise floor caused by the K3 shipping status subject)...I guess I did miss it, trying to sort the 30+ emails per

[Elecraft] KPA800 / KPA1500: status update?

I guess this is a question for Wayne and Eric. I am on the market for a linear amp and I would love to buy an Elecraft amp instead of Tokyo Hi-Power for instance. I am not in a terrible rush but I would really like to do it in the next 3 to 6 months. I was wondering if there is any progress

Re: [Elecraft] Anyone using DeoxIT Gold?

I am uing both DeoxIt and ProGold products and they are simply excellent!!! ProGold is perfect for Bird 43 slugs too! It also lubricates the slug in the directinal coupler! I use the standard DeoxIt on all of my RF connectors and my RF patch bay as wel as Mic connectors, phone and paddle jacks

Re: [Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer

Hi, Take a look at Palstar ZM30 (http://www.palstar.com/zm30.php). IMHO it is a pretty good analyzer. Check also the reviews at eham.net for more details on the performance! 73 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must

Re: [Elecraft] K2 display line

I think this is done on purpose as part of the design. In most cases the radio is placed on a desk and the operator looks down at the radio. Under such condition if the display is perfectly align then the top edge of the front panel display opening will obstruct the top portion of the LCD. (the

Hi Ron, The sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride) which was widely used back in the days to clean the soldering iron tips is very corrosive agent when heated. Under hight temperature the ammonium chloride breaks down as NH4CL + heat to NH3 (ammonia) and HCL (Hydrocloride, which when solved in water

Re: [Elecraft] Antenna Analyzer

Hi, If you consider yourself as lucky you can try the MFJ - it's a good idea as product but very slopy execution and on the top of everything seems there is no QC at the factory whatsoever - you might get a good unit but you might get pure junk as well! A good choice (and just a bit more

Re: [Elecraft] I need some guidance regarding the equalizer in the KX3

The equalizer is an audio level equalizer much like your stereo system's EQ and it is used to enhance or suppress certain audio-range frequencies in order to "model" the output audio response to your listening preferences. Look at it as your Audio Treble / Bass adjustment It is NOT intended to

[Elecraft] Question about KX3 display brightness and contrast

I have question about the KX3 LCD backlight. Looking at the schematics, it appears that Elecraft designed the Backlight to have 2 levels of brightness besides being turned OFF. Watching an old KX3 demo by Wayne, when he entered the Menu system, the LCD Brightness menu item displayed "2" as
