It's the "heartbeat" indicator showing that the rigs CPU is functioning and

I'd still prefer the Mackie Mix5. Same price, 1-day free shipping... more
features, and it's just a mixer, not an interface. And it has a metal chassis.

Hi Group:
OK... here's my mag loop story:
I have two AlexLoops and one is the original version that uses copper
tubing for the main loop. I used that loop to make an RTTY QSO with a station
in Moldova. I had set the loop up indoors (in my sunroom, which has a lot of
windows) and worked
Hi Rick:
And... perhaps another answer for Wi-Fi "extension" is to use a better antenna.
Some routers permit you to add an outboard antenna, which could be a gain
antenna, so you would then have a better connection for your LAN. Or, you
might situate the routers so they have a better path.
Well. there you are! All ready to be read. :)

HI Edd:
I suspect that this sort of email response might be why you are not hearing for
Elecraft. Anyway, I suggested giving them a call.
BTW, the link below does not work... which is likely part of the issue.

Hi Group:
If nothing else, the COVID-19 virus demonstrates that we live in a global
civilization. And, the Chinese manufacturers will build to whatever quality
level you specify. You can have cheap stuff or high quality products or
components.A lot of today's smart phones (like the iPhone)
That just goes to prove the point: Chinese manufacturers will build to whatever
quality level you specify. Consider things like the iPhone and other similar
devices. Most people don't complain about the quality of their iPhone or iPad.

In addition to Libre Office, there still is Open Office (now supported by The

Another option to consider with "retirement home" operating is what I've been

I use a KX3 feeding an AlexLoop (small magnetic loop) set up in our bedroom to

I sure hope that one of the beta testers is Don, W3FPR. He's done so much for
the Elecraft community, and is so widely respected, that he -deserves- to have
an early crack at the K4. IIRC, he did receive one of the first production
units of the KX3, which is my favorite rig.
Of course, I

I'm not going to run out and buy one of those but in it's defense... it IS

Hi Mike:
Don't forget... "the best absorbers are also the best radiators"... So, if a
light colored rig absorbs heat (and it would, eventually).. it would not be
able to radiate it away, trapping heat inside and possibly causing damage to
heat sensitive components. For any rig, it's not a bad
The built-in sound card idea has been suggested, but I'd think you'd also need
an accurate clock for the FT modes... perhaps via a GPS receiver.
Yes, the KX2 is smaller, lighter, etc... but the KX3 is not particularly large
or heavy. So, maybe a KX4 would be about the same size as the KX3... or
I suspect that Wayne and Eric would take a big exception to the use of the
Elecraft name in their obvious knock-off product.

And it's best to remember that Elecraft rigs are products...perhaps tools,
but not investments. Maybe 50 or 100 years from now, they will be
"collectibles" and become an investment (of sorts) at that point.
You might be spending your hard earned money on an Elecraft rig, but you are

Hi Group:
Don't forget, it's not difficult to feed the rig's audio output to a modest
audio mixer (check a music store), which would easily permit you to
independently adjust the audio levels of the feed to your headset or speakers.
This could be made to work for a "mono" feed (single
Hi Neil:
I haven't read the fine print of the various software licenses, but it seems to
me that FT8 is a "digital mode" and it might possibly be able to generate FT8
compatible reception and transmission in multiple ways.Or, it might be possible
to include a tiny linux computer inside a K4,
Honda generators are usually pretty good.. but nothing is perfect. Leaking
fuel is a big red flag.
There's always that Harbor Freight clone... which ought to do the job... and
presumably is not affected by a fuel leak.
