I'm a big Pi fan myself. So if adding my voice provides any additional influence - here it is. I'm also a programmer and I agree there is extra work involved. If the utility was open source, then volunteers could join in and manage the tool chain and build. I would certainly be happy to

Re: [Elecraft] Weighted Knobs in K3?

Used one for years. Never had a problem. The encoder is not THAT fragile. The extra weight is very pleasant to have. 73, Doug -- K0DXV On 11/14/16 6:32 PM, Ed via Elecraft wrote: Before I install 73inc weighted knobs on my K3S, is anybody of the opinion that these knobs cause long-term

Re: [Elecraft] Speakers - Optimal Frequency Range?

Wow Phil, right on. My first career was a buyer for an audio chain. I listened to everything they brought in. My assistant and my secretary and I NEVER agreed on what system sounded best. I would think a speaker that is reasonably flat from 200 hz to maybe 5khz with low mechanical

[Elecraft] FS: K3 and P3

I'm selling my K3 and P3. (Overwhelmed by medical bills and need a new car) The K3 has all the upgrades (KIO3B, K3SYN3, NEOGRIP). Also has KAT3A internal tuner and KPA3A 100 watt internal amplifier. Includes KDVR3 which has not been installed and is still in original unopened bag. Finally,

Re: [Elecraft] PSK software with K3s

Sure! fldigi will operate on any platform and run just about any mode you can imagine. You wouldn't need MMTTY since fldigi can operate rtty in any mode you care to use. It's even amazingly good at decoding cw. Doug -- K0DXV On 5/3/2016 1:59 PM, Gary Smith wrote: As much as I love RTTY,

Re: [Elecraft] PX3

Honestly, the size of the spectral display isn't as important as the fact that it is extremely effective. It works. It's all in one small box. The K3/K3s - P3 and KX3/PX3 are wonderful bits of technology. But their U/I's remain a fine examples of the best of 20th century design. Large,

Re: [Elecraft] Sherwood's receiver performance table updated

My thoughts on the IC-7300 after using it for several days: 1. The tuner is a lot more capable than 3:1. Much better than older Icoms. 2. Achieving correct viewing angle can almost always be corrected by a little Shop 101. 3. The height of the display is limited to the size of the screen and

Ditto that. Don is the consummate professional and has solved some of the most mystifying problems for me. All while being very reasonable. And Ditto on the Hakko desoldering tools. Either the 808 or the new FR-300 are practically worth their weight in gold. I still use my K2 and it is
