[Elecraft] KX2, KX3 supply voltage

2018-07-18 Thread Dennis Haarsager
I just bought a 24V 3.5A battery to power my CPAP machine when AC isn’t available. Would be nice if I could use it to power my KX2 or KX3. 24v-12V down converters are cheap, but the only 24V-13.8V one I’ve found so far is an order of magnitude more. Does anyone think the extra cost is worth it

[Elecraft] 12v for KAT500, et al.

2018-07-11 Thread Dennis Haarsager
My new KAT500 adds yet another 12v pigtail to many others in my shack. Does anyone make a box of some sort to collect and organize all these to a 12v supply? Thanks. Dennis, N7DH/1, MM/N7DH Sent from my iPhone __ Elecraft mailing list

I travel to Edinburgh, Scotland frequently and usually take my KX3 or KX2 with batteries, both AA and rechargeable. No one there or in connection points (Amsterdam, Paris or London) has ever said a peep. 73, Dennis N7DH/1, MM/N7DH Sent from my iPhone

[Elecraft] KX3 shipping pace

2012-04-21 Thread Dennis Haarsager
Judging from reported serial numbers, the KX3's are anything but flying off the production line. Shipping status hasn't been updated since the 12th. I understand that there is a plan to pick up the pace, but as someone who ordered a whole two days after orders began, the current pace translates to

[Elecraft] NO ATU message on K3

2010-08-24 Thread Dennis Haarsager
I bought a new K3 with internal ATU a few months ago, though have been spending my little free time learning it and haven't yet put it on the air. When I first tried it, the ATU seemed to work fine, but recently I've been getting a NO ATU message when I tap ATU TUNE or hold ATU. The menu option

[Elecraft] New K3

2010-04-16 Thread Dennis Haarsager
After several years of HF inactivity, I unboxed my new K3 last night in my 2nd floor home office in Falls Church, VA. In the back of my car I found an 8 or 9 foot piece of stranded ground wire from an electric fence project. I straightened it out as best I could, though there was still some
