[Elecraft] 19inch Racks - somewhat OT

Good Morning Group, I just have share this. Before I retired from the Navy, I was serving with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as one of the assistants to the communications guru, one particularily gruff vice admiral who I'm pretty sure coined the phrase lead, follow or get the hell out of the way,

RE: [Elecraft] Pelican cases - for K1

You might try Home Depot. They periodically sell really nice lockable aluminum cases filled with pluck-foam. I bought three for about $15 each a couple of years ago. Of course the locks will only keep out honest crooks. Real crooks will just steal the case. Tom, KJ3D

[Elecraft] QSL cards + A Question

Hello Group, I'm slowly returning to active status after a very long hiatus, and I'm starting to fill up the log. I'm not sure if the old etiquette for QSLing still holds. In the past, exchanging QSL cards was considered part of the hobby - sort of a polite way to end the QSO. I know

[Elecraft] Windows - just slightly OT

Good Morning Group, Here's a problem I know I shouldn't have, but cannot figure out how to solve. I want to run HRD (as well as it's logbook - if possible) and Spectroscope at the same time in resizable windows, but I cannot seem to get HRD to resize nor can I get Spectroscope to Remain on top

RE: [Elecraft] Adventurous QRPers needed

Gee Ron, I'm just guessing, here, but I imagine there might be the odd ham who would be somewhat put off being called lazy just because he chose to enjoy his hobby his way. And while I'm at it, starting out with a statement like that seems like a poor way to gin up interest. 73, Tom, KJ3D

RE: [Elecraft] The Toroid Guy

Hi Harvey, I think the Toroid Guy offers an outstanding value. I can and have wound Toroids and it ain't rocket science, but some of those little fellas are beginning to challenge my aged dexterity and eyesight. Add that to the confidence in his work and the money was (IMHO) well spent. Tom,

[Elecraft] Inoperable KNB2

Hello Group, Well, you can add me to the list of folks who think their noise blanker is not working. Now I don't have a lot of noise problems, but do hear the occasional light dimmer or neighborhood power tool. I have tried the scratch test, but results were inconclusive. Today I brought home

[Elecraft] A Wee bit OT

Good Morning Group, A question about the Hustler 6BTV (used for my K2 - so not completely off topic). When I replaced my old 4BTV with the 6BTV there was no mention of whether or not to use the 6 spoke spider (yeah, should be insect) that sat beneath the 40 meter section. Anybody doing this? I

[Elecraft] D-104, redux

Hi Group, Thanks to Ron and Tom. The E/H switch is, apparently, a method of going from E (electronic) to H (hand) control. However, I will have to rewire the whole thing to use VOX as the amplifier is also switched on by the hand switch. Wiring the amplifier to run continuously would

[Elecraft] D-104

Hello Group, After seeing several messages about the D-104, I decided mine looked better in the shack than on the shelf in my study, so I spent some quality time with it this weekend. It has the preamp built in the base, and the little schematic glued to the base is dated 9-75 which is about

[Elecraft] Swing Arm Magnifiers -OT

Hello Group, Please excuse this slightly OT post. Since my LASIK, my close up vision has tanked, and before I tackle the K2 I need a really good swing arm magnifier - looking at the type that has a ring fluorescent lamp around it - but that's not an absolute requirement. I've had poor ones in

[Elecraft] Power Supplies and Amplifiers

Hello Group, I've been kinda lurking for a while and haven't seen much about power supplies. Is there a 'supply of choice' for the K2? It's needs are modest, and present no difficulty, but for the 100 watt overshoes - well, that might be a different story. While I'm on the subject of

[Elecraft] Mostly OT: TS-820

Hello group, I'm not sure where else to ask this question. I can't seem to get anything but an answering machine at the Kenwood Amateur Radio Tech support Center. While waiting for a new K2, I would like to get on the air (after a considerable absence) with an old (but very good) TS-820S. The

[Elecraft] (no subject)

Thanks Fraser, Don Rick, I was hoping this would be the case. As I mentioned to Fraser, thanks to the Elecraft crew and all the users. This whole K2/QRP thing has rekindled my enthusiasm for ham radio since being off the air more than 25 years - 2 years as KG4TS pretty much burned me out!
