Re: [Elecraft] K3: re CW ID macro on SSB

Yep, I realize I was wrong. However I still think it is inherently wrong to use a digital recorder to record the output of a CPO and then replay it in an attempt to generate CW. What is the THD of the resulting tone out of the digital player? How does that distortion effect the eventual carrier tha

Re: [Elecraft] (K2) Airplane Ride

Can I wish you good luck connecting to your ground system? On a serious note, more information would help. What bands, and what antenna are you planning on using? What modes? (In a small plane, operating a voice mode will require mics and earphones that are seriously noise canceling -- not the u

Re: [Elecraft] K2– loss of sensitivity

Questions: 1. Is this with a dummy load, or with an antenna connected? 2. Is it possible the extra noise is being generated by the power supply? Mark AD5SS On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 8:28 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Hans, > > That is definitely not normal. The K2 should operate with 11 volts
