Re: [Elecraft] K4 On-screen documentation

Another one of the many reasons I am an Elecraft fanboy - Their Silicon Valley sense of good User Interface! Documentation and its integration to the physical operation of the product is something the best companies in the Bay Area do very well. Well done, can’t wait to see it. (but Im

Harry, you got they the first time. I respect your right to an opinion and right to vote with your dollars. You represent a market segment that Elecraft May or may not choose to address. It’s Wayne and Eric’s strategy to decide. I for one may represent a different (slightly) younger market

Re: [Elecraft] Field Day Report

Oakville ARC VE3HB (Ontario, Canada) ran an all KX2 QRP Battery Field Day this year from a a country back yard. Lots of rain but good times. Quite a positive education for all, esp the hardcore CW ops accustomed to 100 Watt contest stations. Ended up logging on iPads (Hamlog) syncing to a

Re: [Elecraft] ACC1 via Bluetooth HC05 instead of KXSER ?

Running a similar configuration for field Day with KX2, FT8 and a Piglet. It’s a great device and integrates With Pignology’s excellent Hamlog Software (with a field day mode and a Swiss Army knife of utilities. Nick even wrote a multiuser “Server” to run on a Rasp Pi zero to connect from

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Travel Case for Portable Operation

Rich I found a very nice, light but rugged pouch on Amazon that has some nice features, including spots for a couple of Packtenna minis and accessories. It’s not overly padded but rather intended to slip into your main rucksack and not dig into you like a pelican. Video here:

Edward I’d suggest anything under the Snap Circuits brand https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002AHQWS/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?ie=UTF8=1508086022=8-12=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65=snap+circuits The kits are easy to manipulate, marked clearly (with proper symbols) and use real components. My kids love them /Rod

Re: [Elecraft] Frustration with Elecraft

Dan - well said, very true. Andrew - WELCOME to the Elecraft community! Like your club, I have good friends who are longtime Elecraft customers, so at Dayton I finally took the plunge and bought a KX2. (Eric filled out my order form himself - what a great experience) It's an amazing unit and

Re: [Elecraft] OT Learning Morse anew

Jim I'll endorse your experience with the installation PAE's excellent heatsink for the KX2. I jumped into that operation with a Swiss Army knife and a set of forceps at the hotel while at Dayton hamvention. Holding on the two washers, nut and bolt simultaneously in a confined space is
