Re: [Elecraft] That's a whole lotta buttons and knobs!

IMHO, both the RIT/XIT knob and RIT clear button in the Kenwood ST-995sdr image are poorly located. I wouldn't recommend this radio for "big gun contesting" unless they offered an outboard RIT knob with an RIT clear button, like the Elecraft K-POD, or the old Ekletech outboard tuning knob (made

Re: [Elecraft] New antenna works!

That's a lot of bad advice all rolled into one. 1.  Low voltage at the antenna does not mean low voltage at the shack end of the feedline.  That's why it's called VSWR. 2.  Low voltage at the antenna does not mean low voltages internal to the tuner, which can be quite high depending upon

Re: [Elecraft] [K3s] SteppIR Control

Hi John, If you have *CONFIG: RS-232* set to *USB*, then both K3 serial ports are fixed at 38400 baud, so you have to use that setting in the SteppIR controller, and set the radio type to Elecraft (or Kenwood). A custom cable is required to allow the SteppIR auto-track to work via the K3 9-pin
