for simplicity. For the most part I'm a CQ'er and always call on a specific kHz rather than a random dial setting. It's not a big deal ... just the way I follow my particular sense of order. It avoids rounding off of log book entries, too. (:-)) 73! Ken Kopp - K0PP elecraftcov...@rfwave.net

Staples ... and I assume most other similar stores ... sell three-ring binders that have a clear front pocket to house a single sheet. I printed the current manual from the Elecraft website, along with an extra title page to insert into the pocket. 73! Ken Kopp - K0PP elecraftcov

Larry, IMO, it's difficult to properly set up the TX audio ... especially the equalizer ... by listening to yourself. I have a long-time friend who has a Flex that's helped me set up the TX's audio by guiding me while watching my signal's audio on the Flex display. 73! Ken - K0PP

Hi Mel, Filing, cutting or otherwise breeching the plating on an iron's tip will hasten failure of the tip due to accelerated oxidation of the core metal. But, yours is a workable suggestion if you have a replacement tip. (:-) 73! Ken Kopp - K0PP elecraftcov...@rfwave.net http
