Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K-Pod manual updated -- now covers use with the K4

I really like the K-POD, except for the slow tuning. Too bad that the K3 firmware "cannot" reprogram it. John KK9A Bob Wilson, N6TV wrote: Yes, this only works with the K4. The K3 firmware cannot reprogram the K-POD encoder to match the K3's tuning rate. 73, Bob, N6TV

Does the selection of encoder rates only apply to the K4? 73, Jim N7US -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Wayne Burdick Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2021 10:49 To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft K-Pod manual updated -- now covers

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K-Pod manual updated -- now covers use with the K4

Right. The macros are stored in the radios, not in the K*Pod. You need to run K3 Utility at the radio site to load them into the K3. The K4 has a primitive text editor for on-screen macro entry, one finger typing with no tactile feedback. Not fun but no computer required. /Rick N6XI On Thu, Oct

Re: [Elecraft] feeding a half-wave dipole with ladder line

Are you sure your ladder line is 200-300 Ω? My calculations say that 12 AWG conductors 12 inches apart makes 680 Ω line. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Oct 28, 2021, at 2:47 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > > > Your 130' dipole will be damn

Re: [Elecraft] feeding a half-wave dipole with ladder line

Your 130' dipole will be damn near impossible to feed on 40 meters as the center is very high impedance. You would be better served to hang a parallel dipole (33' per side) under the 65' wires and use RG213/RG8 for the vertical section. The additional 33' wires will give you marginally more

I am redesigning my 40/80/160/630m antennas. A year ago the tower I was supporting my 630m Invert-L was damaged by wind and taken down. Replacement tower is shorter so not suitable end wire support for HF antenna. I decided to repurpose my 80/40m dual dipole into a based-loaded 40-foot

I’m right handed and use my right hand to send CW as well as to copy. So, the iPod is particularly convenieent to adjust the radio (especially RIT for off-frequency responses). I use it every day… can’t believe how convenient it is! Tom W4KX K4 #110 K3 #969 > On Oct 28, 2021, at 2:32 PM,

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K-Pod manual updated -- now covers use with the K4

Adventures in my 20's followed by a steady accumulation of birthdays has left me with arm/shoulder deficiencies, aggravated by reaching out to tune and adjust a radio. The K-Pod is the best accessory I purchased for my very early K3 [S/N 642].  It gets the tuning and 95% of the switch

The K-Pod is an accessory control panel that's ideal for use with the K4. It provides 16 switch functions; control of VFO A/VFO B/RIT-XIT offset; and three general purpose open-drain outputs for station control. You can use the K4's macro editor to create command sequences to assign to K-Pod
