Re: [Elecraft] HELP! XFINITY SHUT OFF INTERNET DUE TO HAM ANTENNAS

Wow! Doesn't seem to make sense... so they believe that by shutting down your home internet that you will stop operating your station which allegedly is causing the interference? Or do they believe that by the sheer fact that Xfinity is connected to your home that your station is causing

Supportive parents are great but tolerant XYLs are better. Back in the heyday running a linear on 40m, I would flash lights, open the garage, screw up the stereo and Tv in the house. Wife would smile and say to back off a bit! Now that’s awesome殺 Now if I can’t get it done QRP, 100w is the max

Excellent!  Solve the latency issue and we all hit the jackpot! Curious Wayne, do you have a stand alone hardware solution on the opposite end of the remoted K4 station planned? It would be great to have something like the old K3/0 but for the K4 complete w/ Paddle plug in and headphone

FWIW the UPS “insurance” should be taken with a grain of salt. I had my K3 repaired by Elecraft and it was damaged during shipping back. I tried to file a claim but since I “signed” for it and the box was not “damaged” in transit, they would not honor the claim! Then again it may never have

Another option is MacLoggerDX (MLDX). It is a paid application but works beautifully well. It is full featured and has lots of bells and whistles, some which I thought I wouldn’t need or use, but having them opened my eyes to the possibility. For example, I use MLDX as my main Mac logging

Wunder is right. If KX3 gonna be your only rig and you like to contest or even are considering it, you need the roofing filters.  The ATU is a must in my opinion, but, even though I have the internal battery/charger, I’m not sure I would order that again.  The front mount paddles are nice but
