I am also a big fan of the PortaPaddle and PortaPaddle II, using it with all Elecraft portable rigs. It weighs nothing, is nearly indestructible, and is well made. 73 Eric WD6DBM On Fri, Sep 18, 2020, 11:39 AM Fred Jensen wrote: > American Morse Equipment. Obviously depends on your

Working with Rob at Elecraft Service, I removed and checked the KIO3 Digital I/F board and found L1 blown. L2, L3, R12, and R13 are all good. L1 is on the ground lead from the sub-D9 connector, pin 5 to ground in the K3. Definitely blown as there is a carbon smudge next to L1. I installed

Mike, I’ve done some of these mods, but not all. I replaced the MAR6 this morning and it now hears a little better, but the S-meter on the K3 is not moving. Q3 is next. AND I JUST REMEMBERED!!! When I was setting up the rover before the contest, I was keying all the equipment with the

Thanks Don, I had a MAR6 in stock and installed it after breakfast. There is now a noticeable change in RX noise with the noise bridge turned on, but nowhere near what is needed, so I’ll order a Q3. 73, Mark K2QO FN03ra > On Sep 18, 2020, at 12:23 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Mark, > >

There are several cheapies on eBay for about $35.  You'd probably need to stick it down to something heavier because they look pretty light. Dave   AB7E On 9/17/2020 10:09 PM, Alan Bloom wrote: I am currently "sheltering in place" far from home and would like to set up a station here.
