Re: [Elecraft] what tripod to use?

2020-07-30 Thread brianchapnick
The Buddipole Tripod with mast is quite substantial and will get your antenna up higher than any photographic tripod. In windy situations you will want to guy it or at least put a weight at the base. I've done this a few times with the AX1. For a quick mount the Buddipole bracket with the

Must be missing something. I really like psk but seems there aren't many psk sigs on the band. Everyone has jumped to FT8. What are u Using? I run dm780 with HRD and a signal link. It is quite easy once you figure out how to set your level. You don't need signal link. Ive done it without the

Your mention of apartment living perked my interest as I will be moving into a condo on the 34th floor in a few months. I'll have a beautiful unobstructed view. An antenna has been on my mind. I don't like the idea of dropping a wire from the balcony. The wind could cause trouble. Im thinking

May be there are more kx3 users because the kx3 was introduced long before the kx2 and we kx3 users love them. The only reason to have a kx2 over a kx3 is size and weight, and maybe curiosity. Brian VE3GMZ Sent via BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox for Android   Original Message   From:

I have had the kx 3 for 5 +years. It was and is the only radio I have since getting back into Ham Radio after many years of inactivity. It is a wow radio and Elecraft support is excellent. You won't go wrong. I would add to your list an antenna analyzer. It will make your life alot easier. The

So Wayne, how do you suggest cleaning the contacts? I have been slipping a piece of paper between the contacts, closing the paddle and pulling the paper through. First time I've heard of the contact burnisher. Brian VE3GMZ Sent via BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox for Android   Original Message

It's an interesting question. I've been using the 3 for a few years on my kx3. I'm actually considering going to a winkey and external paddle so that I am able to get N1MM functional. I'm actually a little frustrated with the present 3 paddle. From a convenience point of view it is great but I

I'm glad I asked the question. Thanks for your thoughtful replies. I'm a very casual QRP operator. I have used many of the digital modes, cw, ssb and FM too, but certainly not with the sophistication you suggest. There appears to be a lot more to it than I thought. Certainly food for thought.

Jim, pardon my ignorance but KN means end of transmission or invite a specific station to transmit from what I see. Why would that deter a reply from a CQ? I am sure you are right but I would like to know the experienced understanding from a pro. Brian VE3GMZ Sent via BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox
