VERY easily programmed to use a PS2 keyboard to send FSK, PSK and CW,
using the KY command, when connected to the serial port.
I've still got the K40 that I used with my IC756PRO once upon a time
in a similar role.

It sounds as youre not doing enough, though.
Satellites are an answer for you.
Or get a 2M amp and a long boom antenna and do EME.
Or even better, don't spend the money.

Bin thinkin'...Yeah I know, scary thought
If you want to put an external amp on a 10W K3, consider a high power
amp. You can get a few hundred watts with 10W in from some fairly
inexpensive amps. In fact, if oyu've got an amp already, then a 10W K3
is a way to get the very good RX and some significant power at an
economy price, while
And unless I'm confused, the very inexpensive Unified Microsystems
band decoder will do the right thing for automatically bandswitching
the Herc II.

Was any mention made of when these items (maybe even at the Dayton

I do understand why Elecraft has (probably) decided to end the QRO
amplifier project. It would have been difficult breaking into a small
market with an expensive high end product and not loose money. And
That`s the second hint Lyle has dropped. I'm not going to hold my

Ok- I'm in line for the K432XV too!
There was an article in QST a good while back about this. Theer were
two things that needed to be done, one of which was a fuse between the
battery and the power supply so if the crowbar triggered, the PS
wouldn't burn up, and the other was a resistor added so the 723
regulator would be protected

That's a great recording, John! It's a great service to those who want to

Because an RS232 port is much more nearly universal. Because it's pretty

serial support to a USB port. And, if you really want a USB port with

It's funny though, sometimes I think the K3 should have some kind of
hardshell cover for the front panel. Then you could transport it
without having to worry about banging up the fragile controls and LCD.
My plan was to use bits of Velcro to hold it on.
Extended side panels would give more protection and a good way to hold
them on, too.
My K2's have extended side panels, thanks to someone on this list.

This is a mixed blessing- carrying a largely empty box when traveling
is a lose.
I'll have to wait for photos- Santa Barbara is just a bit far and
too short notice, since I'm just back from week in Montreal.
There's also a forest fire in the area that would affect the riding.
