Nothing to do with your problem but I had to say that I copied, and called
unsuccessfully, 3B8M on 40-meter CW on 11-24-19 @ 1651Z, which is 0951 AM local
time here in Arizona. This is 3 hours past my SR on a >11,000 mile path. Who
needs FT8?
I'll look for you on 80 and 160.

Actually, Elecraft uses the Kenwood protocol. When I got my first K3 I told my
logging program it was my 12-year-old TS-870.

In the original announcement from Wayne:
* flexible power source: rear 12-V jack on the radio, DC barrel jack,
USB port, or even through the 6-pin data cable, with minor radio modification
(the latter method results in a single cable to the K-Pod for data and power)

Personally, I'm sticking with Win 7 for as long as I can.
I have a few computers:
1) Aged Toshiba laptop with Win XP that has a parallel port for running my N2PK
network analyze. No wi-fi in this one anymore.
2) Lenovo T400 upgraded to SSD running Win 7 Home 32 bit that is the shack

Leave one screw loose, drive the other one into the flat. How could it not be

happened to use an SDR-IQ and SpectraVue software, but even a second, carefully
calibrated and operated receiver will suffice. It will be laborious but
informative. (BTW, my measured data correlated within 1 dB, or less, to that
measured by Elecraft. You just have to know what you're doing.)
Does that make me right too?

Hi Ron,
Of course, you're right, you want the set screw against the flat part of the
shaft, otherwise the knob could be pulled even more off-centre. Thanks for
clarifying.

Wow two experts and they're both wrong.
Fortunately CW is neither an unmodulated carrier nor is it 100% modulation by a
square wave. Dots with no waveform shaping would be a square wave; dashes are
never a square wave.
Keyed CW is none of the above.

A number of years ago I purchased two 20' lengths of 2" square, 1/8" wall

as smooth as the day I brought them home. Contrast that to som

No. Modern audio system design calls for outputs to have very
