Re: [Elecraft] CW Key suggestions ?

Depends on your budget. IMO, the best are N3ZN and Begali. In my experience, Bencher is one of the worst. Barry W2UP Ronald Nutter wrote > > The next thing I am looking at is getting a CW key. > > Would appreciate any suggestions in this area that anyone here has. >

[Elecraft] Rcommended 4.51 AGC settings?

I prefer not to mess with the RF Gain control and I live in a noisy QTH, so weak signals aren't an issue (not that they'd hear me, anyway, lol). Are the AGC default settings good? (and I don't care about the CW decoder) Tnx, Barry W2UP -- View this message in context: http://ele

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

Another endorsement for N3ZN paddles. I own a ZN9 and very pleased with it. I had a Begali Graciella, too, and sold it when I downsized by station about 6 years ago. kept the N3ZB paddle. Both are outstanding, but, IMO, the ZN is better bang for the buck (or Euro). Barry W2UP Ken G Kopp

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Good time to buy Begali products

Most Capital One credit cards do not charge a foreign transaction fee (most CCs 2-3%). If Begali accepts credit cards directly, you might want to look into one of those. Barry W2UP Tony Scandurra K4QE wrote > That is incorrect. The purchase price is directly affected by the > exchange

Re: [Elecraft] Navassa K1N on the air with K3s and KPA500s

Their adios must be working, as they copied my puny signal! Eric, a feature request for the next firmware update: A digitally encoded signature in the CW transmission so K3s can recognize each other. This along with an algorithm to mute non-K3 signals, so we can work them first :-) Barry W2UP

Re: [Elecraft] CW listening pitch

this interfered with contesting! I can play a little piano by ear, but never took lessons - one of my regrets... I recall having this CW/music discussion with K1AR and others at the contesting suite in Dayton many years ago - just about everyone in the group had some musical ability. Barry W2UP --

Thanks guys. That's what I was looking for. Brian, I'm not sure which is worse - getting yelled at by the pileup cops, or calling someone, wondering why you're not getting thru, then noticing split is ON from the last time the radio was on :.) 73, Barry W2UP -- View this mes
