Good morning,
I have a quick question that I should probably already know the answer
to but don't.
My father-in-law just gave me an SB-200 amp. I've never used one before
and was wondering if it could be used with a native K2 (i.e., I don't
have the KPA100).
Thank you.

Hi,
I happened to see they now have the XV432 Assembly manual and 50 MHz to
432 MHz owners manual in the transverter section of the manuals on the
Elecraft website.
I assume that they must be running a new PDF compression system as they
state the XV manuals are between 1.4 and 1.8 KB (yes KB)
This is a nice unit. I bought one from Sears a while back, looks just like
the one from RS. Only problem I paid $39. At $20 thats a very good deal.
I bought it for my R/C planes for charging at the field. I really didn't
think it had enough to start a car but I was proven wrong one cold
Because I am always free in my manual translations, the German manual of
KXB3080 says (retranslated)
Recommended is a small solder tip in pencil form
No metrics nor inches :-)

Once again I will be operating the ARCI Spring QP from the great state of
Delaware.
I will be signing as NJ2OM/3, and mostly running on or near the QRP frequencies.
During the evening hours I will check 80m at the top of each hour. I will
check 10m at the top of other hours.

Alex,
The local electronics store had WESD51D stations on sale when I went
looking last
year for the initial KX1 build... The Elecraft mojo was
working for me even
BEFORE I started building!
I'm holding out for the 'Low Static' Soldapullt now - they had to back

Impossible to say, without defining it.
If it is: timestamp is 6 monotonically ascending integers when displayed
backwards* modulo 100, it will happen next year at 02:03:04:05:06:07.
If it is: timestamp is the first 6 integers in order when displayed
backwards* modulo 100, it will happen in 100

Kinda stupid for an
Amateur Radio product. Model MFJ-123.
Sums it up for me right there.
I bought one of their Deluxe Iambic Paddles last year when I built my K1.
It uses a split post to cinch down on the threaded contacts. Problem is that
it's not possible to cinch them
When I got back into the hobby last fall I needed a clock. I looked at
some fancy ones but ended up buying a radio shack travel alarm clock.
It displays 24 hour time, is easy to read set and even has a
thermometer built in so I can see temps like 58F at the operating
position.

Hi Craig.
We have a total of 8 automatic WWV synched clocks of various types...
And I live 30 miles from the WWV transmitter.

these radio controlled clocks for periodic time checks, usually once a day

Twice a year, I take my clocks out to the back porch and out of my
shack/office. That is around the time of DST/ST switches. The rest of
the year, my Atomic Clock from LaCrosse is always in perfect sync to
the ability of my eye to detect. I always do it after the switch
because I never

Congrats! Now I want one too. Acxtually I've been wondering which to get,
the k-1 or the kx1. Also kind of waiting for a kit that does 6/10/12/15/17

one for a weekend...fun. I would have liked to have 5 watts
The BLT is a fine tuner. I've got one too. It's limited and doesn't have
the range of elecrafts auto tuners but then until the cash flow allows it.
The blt is good enough. I think you'lle be happy with it. 73's

It seems to me that is should be possible to write a piece of software that
controls the K2 transmit frequency (steps it up in increments), reads the
LP-100 SWR, power etc, and produces plots for each ham band of frequency
versus SWR, power etc. It would sure be nice if this was built into

I have built Ron's/Tom's HF Noise Generator inside a business cards plastic

The LP-100 Plot software does this already if you use DXlabs Commander
(freeware) or TRX-Manager. It doesn't matter what rig is selected, it
will work with any supported rig. You set the start and stop frequencies
and step size, then hit Run. The program controls the rig and gathers

If all you want is a relatively high accuracy clock the WWV signal is
superior IMO. It certainly is easier to decode! As an added benefit it

My old Heathkit clock received WWV on 5Mhz, 10Mhz and 15Mhz. You could

Hello,
finally I hope that I managed to calculate the score correctly.
Conditions for us Europeans were not as good as during last year's
Party. On Sunday morning I stood up very urly to get some DX on 40m
band but even there had no luck.
But OK... after several tries I have been very glad to

I used to run BeaconSee very successfully with my K2 and it's KIO2. It did
switch the K2 to the various frequencies without a problem. Note the following

Folks,
My advice on mic wiring - unless you must use the mics with multiple rigs,
wire the mic configuration header for the Elecraft mics, and then change the
wiring at the mic plug to match the Elecraft configuration.
By doing that, it certainly simplifies things a whole lot. I see no sense
