[Elecraft] troubles with kits

Herb Why don't you start with something like one of the mini-module kits? That will give you an idea of what to expect and let you develop your soldering skills if they are lacking. There are some important things to keep in mind when building kits. One - the right tools - in particular soldering

[Elecraft] Intermittent no RX on 80/160 K2/100 #4029

I thought this problem was related to the T/R switching problem I was having and fixed (a no solder joint), but apparently I though that because I first noticed that failure on 80 meters. So I brought it into work today, and when I hooked it up to a service monitor and put a signal into it - no

Charles You might try to get a little real world experience with Winlink and PactorIII/II before you write that letter to QST. While the Skymate you have and speak of is a wonderful system and works well, and the buy-in is less if you are starting from scratch (I am a dealer for both), it has
