Gene, I've had a lot of fun on vacations with my KX2 and a BuddiStick by BuddiPole: http://www.buddipole.com/ The price, for the Deluxe kit, is probably comparable to what you'd pay for an AlexLoop. I just clamp mine to the arm of the chair, the table, whatever, with the included clamp,

Re: [Elecraft] Some K4 updates from the engineering department

2020-04-20 Thread Ian Kahn, NV4C
Wayne, Thank you for this update. I am eagerly awaiting information on the K4 kits and when they will be available (I know, not for a while yet ;-)). My only regret with my K3, s/n 261, is that I bought it, and its accompanying P3, used. Consequently, I didn't get the joy of building them

Tommy, Please understand something about the K4 and availability - this is a rig that was announced this time last year (at Dayton Hamvention), that was still under design and development. At that time, I believe they anticipated the ship date to be in time for the 2019 holidays. Then, the

Re: [Elecraft] No Tx audio after WSJT upgrade

Joe, Check your WSJT-X settings and ensure you still have the correct sound card selected and that something didn't change your output target/radio selection. Also, if you're running Windows, make sure something else didn't change any of your sound card settings from what you had prior to

While I enjoyed the Virtual Ham Expo, there were some aspects I thought could be improved. I sent this feedback to Eric Guth via the feedback survey I received not long after the Expo closed. * Like everyone else who has responded so far, I enjoyed Eric's demo of the K4. I am eagerly

All, I received the same email several weeks ago. I followed up by Googling the organization and checking out their web site (using a Linux system I didn't care if I had to nuke when done). They are a fairly new group, established within the last year(if I remember correctly). I don't know

Eric/Wayne, Now that final prices on the K4-line are posted, for factory-built models, can you provide a ballpark on what the price difference will be for the kit versions? I realize we're still probably several months out from the kits being ready, but it would be nice to know how to start

[Elecraft] KX2 Drift During Field Day

2020-06-29 Thread Ian Kahn, NV4C
All, I have KX2 s/n 2862. I noticed while operating Field Day that, about every 15 minutes, it would drift down 1 Hz. Has anyone else ever seen this in their KX2? I will admit it is possible this was just the effect of RF getting back into the rig, but at 10W, I'm not really sure where

[Elecraft] K4 Books

2020-06-29 Thread Ian Kahn, NV4C
All, I have a question that is probably best answered by Eric, Wayne, or one of the K4 testers. Since Fred Cady, KE7X (sk), is no longer with us to write a K4 book, are the UI and firmware close enough to that of the K3/K3S that we can use those books to learn it? Or, is Elecraft working

Re: [Elecraft] K4 info?

2020-07-07 Thread Ian Kahn, NV4C
I would suggest that, due to the unusual times in which we live, we can't accurately compare the K4 test cycle to anything previous. And, we need to account for all that in our expectations around completing testing, implementing new features, and product ship dates/delays. 73 de, Ian, NV4C
