Re: [Elecraft] External speakers for K3?

Go for two, then you can take advantage of AFX. I use two small black communications speakers, designed for vehicle mounting and optimised for voice and are only 3-4 mm taller than the K3 -- one either side. Really does enhance AFX on SSB and they look good too. And they were less than GBP 7

RE: [Elecraft] Cushcraft cable - what is it? - OT

David Apart from the dielectric it looks similar to W103 - Probably also has the same diameter of centre conductor. Therefore will not fit a standard N type without modifying either the conductor or the pin. (Been there with W103). 73 Peter GM8GAX K2 - 4027 K3 - 933 P.S. Katiegram received

Tom Current K3s shipped to the UK appear to be set to US band limits. In order to transmit on the UK 60 metre channels you need to send a request to Garry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- and give him your serial no. You will receive a quick reply and a small programme. Install it on your PC. This

RE: [Elecraft] K3 CW spot feature

-- Maybe it's just me, but the spot feature seems less accurate than previously. Using 2.02 and dsp 1.77. Anyone else notice this? Yes, I have. There is now no CWT indication on signals below S9+. No doubt this will be cleared up in the next release. Peter GM8GAX

[Elecraft] K3 VFO A+B

Whilst playing with, sorry exploring, my K3 this morning I have set something that causes VFO B to track VFO A. Simply put as I tune VFO A both A B frequencies change together. This only occurs on 40m, the band I was listening to at the time. All other bands are normal. Unfortunately I cannot

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Excessive Bounces.

Geoff I have only experienced one bounce - approximately 2 years ago. This was due to my mail box on the ISP (Tiscali) server filling up. At that time it was 10MB and I could not access it for a couple of weeks due to a PC fault. Before I retired I subscribed on my office computer (I worked

Phil You were lucky, I had to pay Handling, VAT and Duty!! Got the duty back eventually - seemed the person checking it in couldn't be bothered with the duty codes. Although the letter from customs made it appear to be my fault that they had charged me. I think it is the luck of the draw,

Re: [Elecraft] UK import duty

Hi It is just too difficult to check. -- I had to pay import duty on my K2 - but the additional modules and upgrades purchased a year later went through the system with no problems. So why do they use the computer excuse. As you pay VAT on top of the duty (taxing the tax) you will get back a

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Ordering form PA (AND UK!)

Just to add my experiences. My first order for a K2 (Jan 2004) came through parcel force and full duty was charged. Parcelforce collect the duty for customs, but would not admit that they were in the wrong. I did manage to contact customs by phone, but only by way of a helpful receptionist
