Indeed we do. And not just "random" but all flavors of end-fed antennae. I get chastised for calling my end-fed-tuned-multi-band-trapped-wire-an tenna (actually it is an LNR MTR) an EFHW. EFHW is simple to send. Should I send EFTMBTWA? Perhaps some smart people on the list will recommend a

Re: [Elecraft] New KXPD2 paddle for KX2

This week I replaced the KXDP3 paddle on my KX2 with the KXPD2. I like the feel and adjustability of the KXPD2. Since it is shorter, the rig does not tend to move around as much. I had problems with the KXPD3 which forced me to be very assertive! The KXPD2 seems (so far) to operate with a much

Never had a problem with Prolific parts - except for the end-of-life variants (HXA & XA) they removed from driver newer than v3.2. FTDI did the same thing for a pirated USB part. Here is the solution, without the actual v3.2 driver. Seems Prolific doesn't want that made available. Go figure.
