Re: [Elecraft] K1 high demand...

2024-04-28 Thread Paul Van Dyke
This was slightly tongue in cheek as I remembered that, but i've seen a
whole lot of people yelling about K1's lately.

If older equipment was good, then we'd all be using AC1's... I'm now going
to see how many remember that particular transmitter.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 and Delivery Delays

2022-03-30 Thread Paul Van Dyke
And I believe that each one of us that is on the list knows that. I believe
our philosophy is we know there's at least a dozen OK radios out there, but
we all picked Elecraft even though at this time due the shortages, there's
a long wait. But we loyal and we know Elecraft is ahead of the game.  Those
that want to whine about Elecraft shipping times other radios, we politely
asked to go somewhere else. Elecraft is not a "off the shelf radio .. with
it you receive 2 Ceo's, and  backing of a staff that watched and improves
the radio each day. Both Flex and Elecraft have issues ... But if you are
getting a TOL radio, you did your research, and made the call... This is my
last post ... I have taken too much space on a subject that I thought was
dead as all it does is rile up people.

Re: [Elecraft] Another Unique QSO

2021-09-13 Thread Paul Van Dyke
Years ago when the KX3 just came out and I was one of the 1st 2 to have 1,
I thought I would have some fun and hooked it up at our club station.a
TH11DX at 120'. I was running a whopping 12 watts.(before upgrade). Then
some beginner asked to talk to me thru Net Control. N6XX called me on KX3
#7 to my KX3 #24 and we dropped to 5 watts and carried on with perfect
clarity. Then gave it back to Net Control. The impact was crazy...

And then was the time.

Never MIND

When Eric and I were working on my K4D #76 long ago, he was using the
following:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VXNN2D3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They no longer make it, but the display was crisp and clear.
I would recommend one something like it at any time.
And yes, I redid the cabling also

[Elecraft] Sundays 80 meter net

2021-02-23 Thread Paul Van Dyke
Many apologies for the missing Net Control. about 15 mins before it was to
start, I kicked 80 meter on and had a mindblowing SWR.. went out and had a
branch come down on it. I tried to make the 40 work on 80 (knew it would
not do it well.) I contacted ?? and I told him that I was unable to do the
net.  I cut the branch the next morning and got the antenna up to normal
height and swr.
Very sorry ... it was not planned

See you next Sunday or on the air

Wow ... Outstanding Net
Very glad that so many took some time out of their day to attempt to join
the group on 3.817 at 01:00 UTC on Monday morning (Sunday Night).

Hoping to hear more popup ...

Re: [Elecraft] K4 QSO With Wayne

2021-01-25 Thread Paul Van Dyke
 Personally find it amusing that many people forget that they are both
amateur radio operators 1st, besides the leaders of Elecraft. When they
have free time (what is that) they enjoy getting on the air. And that
alsobgoes for the other members of the staff

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Radio Update

I believe you are correct, only Eric can tell you the exact.  I would
rather have it that way,  It would tick me off immensely if they just
passed through and the possible bug would show up later. They are more apt
to play their cards a lot closer than many other manufacturers

[Elecraft] K4 Radio Update

2020-12-06 Thread Paul Van Dyke
Greetings...

This to answer more than a few emails I have gotten.

I just got off the phone with Eric WA6HHQ, and he explained that they made
a few tweeks in some of the features that are in K4. They DID NOT do a
major rewrite... But at the same time, there was an upgrade in the Linux
operating system, and Eric, Wayne, and many engineers, field testers are
beating up the code to make sure the improvements do not have adverse
affects or hidden flaws before they resume shipping. I believe there will
be a note, to all, in a week or so, giving a more detailed explanation.

Keep Well

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Reports

2020-12-02 Thread Paul Van Dyke
Hi Terry

Roughly 2 weeks ago I sent this out.
"12 + hours ago, I was lippy toward Elecraft and ate my words 20 minutes
later when I was told that my K4 was on a bench getting final upgrades and
the thought that it should be out the week AFTER Thanksgiving..  Then next
morning I woke up to 80 messages asking me for numbers...  The DAY after
Thanksgiving I had 10 people write to me and ask if the K4 was here and how
it was."

   As with the unboxing of one of the 1st KX3's, when the K4 comes in, I
will post pictures.

  Be well

[Elecraft] Answers to KB9AVO's K4 is on the way... Please read

2020-11-21 Thread Paul Van Dyke
 12 + hours ago, I was lippy toward Elecraft and ate my words 20
minutes later when I was told the K4 was out. I woke up to 80 messages
asking me for numbers... I am NOT answering each request,, A good reason no
one says they may have gotten one...
   Seriously, I have no idea, I was at the start of the Dayton
Hamvention either on Wednesday or Thursday. Way earlier than most people
are up, long before people are on the floor .. somewhere after the sales
area was set up, I did the paperwork. I don't work for Elecraft, I work
with another firm. I remember being told I was one of the 1st ...

Sorry Paul KB9AVO

[Elecraft] In answer to: "Has Anyone Received a K4?"

2020-11-20 Thread Paul Van Dyke
I just got done writing a comment to the above question, and am ashamed..
20 minutes after I basically said "All I have heard is "Crickets"  I got a
phone call from Watsonville, CA. I was one of the early ones and shortly
after Thanksgiving there will be a special package delivered.  They are
still in lockdown, many many are working remotely .. add to it the spotty
parts due to Covid-19 ... and they just did a final major rewrite of the
coding ...

Yes, I will annonce to the group when it comes in  they ARE going out
the door..

[Elecraft] Elecraft K4 Kit Prices

2020-10-03 Thread Paul Van Dyke
It is my humble opinion that a good start  to think about for the price to
save money for a Elecraft K4 Kit is 10% below the cost of a full factory
assembled unit.

 I've been in business for 40 years, and looking at many units, 10% below
is just about right. You must realise that with the K4 and both the K3/K3S,
the circuit boards were compartmentised to the extent that the biggest part
seemed to be assembly of the unit inside the chassis, and testing.

And the KX2/KX2 and the KXPA100 are in the same class..

[Elecraft] KV5J's line of Digital Displays for Elecraft's W2, KXPA100, KPA500, and KPA1500

2020-08-31 Thread Paul Van Dyke
I bought one for my KPA1500 as it is in location makes me so you my head to
look at it.  Shack can not changed,  I will say is absolutely great to be
able to look at the controls of the K3S, and tell them exactly what power
I'm running instead I having to look across the room.  Very Very nice...

I am a member also, but I forgot also. I can't get wrapped up in a product

Depends on what ICOM lets the IC705 do with other equipment.
I saw the 1st IC705 and was less than impressed.. AND then they took it

IF and IF I remember correctly, they (Elecraft) takes not a penny from you
till it is shipped. I know the money is waiting for them as I wait for the
K4.

I'm still happy, wishing I could I could have taken it on the dxpedition,
but it didn't happen either due to Covid-19.
I have a great K3S K-Station setup..
I will have a better K4 K-Station setup when it comes in.

See you on the air & Nets
