Hi there! Rick N6RK gave a nice presentation at Pacificon a few years ago about low band receiving loops and it is online. Perhaps this will give you a few ideas: http://www.n6rk.com/loopantennas/pacificon.pdf 73, Byron N6NUL On Sat, Nov 22, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Jim GM jim.gmfo...@gmail.com

Re: [Elecraft] K2 plus N1MM logger in CW

Knowing now that Elecraft radios with IO interfaces have the ability to send CW without an external box, why would anyone bother with external electronics? My K2 sounds great to me, as the operator, when using a paddle. When using a winkey it sounds awful. I would much rather have my logger just

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Keyer to use with Tascam interface

Jim, isn't the appropriate PTT hookup covered in your HamInterfacing document? I remember using it for my TS-830s a few years ago for RTTY. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf Something to check, anyway, Chris. 73, Byron N6NUL On Mon, Jan 19, 2015 at 11:05 PM, Jim Brown

Re: [Elecraft] Bluetooth serial interface for K2, etc

You may also want to consider a COTS solution like this: http://www.aircable.net/products/serial5.php I have used them in the past, but not tried with my K2. Connected to the regular serial cable output (remember: the KIO2 port is not a serial port directly), it would work fine. 73, Byron

Re: [Elecraft] KRC2 relay control

Hi, See the KRC2 manual and search for AC1. On Page 15 of the rev.C manual, the KRC2 test procedure includes using F4 for accessory drivers, and page 19 has the default behavior of F4. I am not in front of my ham pc right now, but I believe there is a way to trigger those from the utility.

Re: [Elecraft] KRC2 rs232 to cpu not working

Hi Gordon, I recently, and finally, got to the point where I needed to set up band maps in my KRC2. I also use PCIe serial cards and Windows 10 and the problem I had was the cable. Once I built a cable using exactly the pinouts in the KRC2 manual (instead of cables I had laying around), it worked

Re: [Elecraft] [K1] Question about antenna tuners that I should not have to ask but do.

Sorry, I should have said "none" instead of "1:1". You don't appear to need it. I also have a very compromised installation, but better now than a dipole. And, yes, a tidy installation does us a shocking amount of coax! Good luck, 73, Byron N6NUL On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 5:

There are 2 wiring standards for cat5/5e/6 cable into RJ45 style modular plugs: EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B (aka T568A and T568B). They are slightly different, and both work to gigabit speeds. You can mix them, but in a data center, for example, they will try to stick with 1 or the other. For
