I carry my K2/100 in a Tenba BY09 camera bag, and put that inside a Mindshift Rotation 180 backpack along with my KAT 100, a Vibrokeyer (in a Lowepro case), the MFJ 818 swr/wattmeter, and a RigExpert AA-30 that is perfect for carry on luggage. The power supply, and Buddipole goes in checked luggage.
If I am operating QRP the K2/100 gets replaced with a K2/10 and some non-essentials are replaced with more important items and the Buddipole gets strapped to the side. The Mindshift backpack also has space for camera and some additional necessities. So, it actually serves dual purpose, and is very easy to pack anywhere and while it doesn't offer the knock around protection of a Pelican case, I am not in the habit of throwing around electronic equipment. -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bob DeHaney Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2018 3:58 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Travel Cases Check Online for Drone backpacks and cases from DJI etc. They are very reasonably priced and have compartments for small drones, batteries, remote control, etc. Vy 73 de Bob DJ0RD/WU5T -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2018 09:18 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Elecraft Digest, Vol 166, Issue 8 Send Elecraft mailing list submissions to elecraft@mailman.qth.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net You can reach the person managing the list at elecraft-ow...@mailman.qth.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Elecraft digest..."

It?s not overly padded but rather intended to slip into your main rucksack and not dig into you like a pelican.

I just picked up a very nice KX2 (Thanks WB5XX) that I plan on using for SOTA op's. It came with the SideKX end panels and the protective plastic cover. I was on a SOTA trip with WG0AT last September and he had a very nice tin that the KX2 fit in. It wasn't much bigger than the KX2. I've also run across the nice pelican case style setups. While the pelican case will definitely protect the KX2 it seems like a bulky solution while hiking. When I activated a couple SOTA"s last summer I took my KX3 with the side panels/cover. I just wrapped it with a towel and stuck it in my back pack. While it worked I didn't think it was the best solution. What are others doing?

Message-ID: <bfce3c51-fb1a-4bd5-bcec-cbc740ba4...@blomand.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed As a general practice, most do not recommend using ALC from the amp to the transceiver.??? ALC is not a "compression" mode and should not be used as such.?? The ALC performance in modern transceivers will usually be superior in performance to the voltage derived in the amp and then processed by the transceiver to control drive power. The amp should have adequate safeguards designed in to prevent overdrive and alert the operator of such occurrence. 73 Bob, K4TAX K3S - sn 10163 On 2/7/2018 6:39 PM, Nr4c wrote: > Just don?t do it. > > Sent from my iPhone > ...nr4c. bill > > >> On Feb 4, 2018, at 2:18 PM, Dave Cole (NK7Z) <d...@nk7z.net> wrote: >> >> I have asked on and off about ALC over the past few months, and I think I want to use ALC as a safeguard to amp overdriving as an error, not as a way of obtaining compression.

I believe at lower BW settings the EQ will be negated thus you are losing the effects of the applied boost.?? As an operating practice, little to no RX EQ should be used for CW mode as EQ typically creates phase effects impacting harmonic content of the audio signal.??? It is always much better to "attenuate" as opposed to "boost". 73 Bob, K4TAX On 2/7/2018 6:27 PM, Nr4c wrote: > ?Selectivity???? > > Do you mean DSP filter width? > > Narrow width does decrease the background noise. > > Sent from my iPhone > ...nr4c. bill > > >> On Jan 30, 2018, at 4:05 PM, Roger D Johnson <n...@roadrunner.com> wrote: >> >> I noticed that during the contest, that if I selected 50 or 100 Hz >> selectivity, the audio would drop way down.

My OS/2 box was my main computer until it got to the point where I had no choice to move to Win7, because Win7 was as stable as OS/2 - eComStation.?? However, by that time I had moved from PM Mail (which was no longer being supported) to Thunderbird, haven't looked back. I think the reason old posts are are showing up was because for about a 4 or 5 day period, I didn't get a single thing from the list.??
