Re: [Elecraft] OT: Distinguishable angular momentum in radio photons?
Oh, and the first thing I looked at was whether it was in the April issue. It was not.

The May 2012 issue of the IEEE Spectrum magazine reports that researchers in Italy and Sweden were able to conduct two separate instances of radio communication on the exact same frequency, without increasing bandwidth, and without time-division multiplexing, be making the transmissions differ in angular momentum.

Apparently this is not just a case of linear vs circular polarization, as circular polarization can be readily picked up by a linearly polarized antenna, and apparently the two channels did not interfere with each other. The researchers claim that this demonstration points to the possibility that the radio photons can be given multiple, quanized levels of angular momentum, making possible several more communication channels without increased bandwidth.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3} CocoaModem & MacLoggerDX
I have been using cocoaModem for a couple of years now on 3 separate rigs, including a K3. My favorite trick for not having it work is to forget to press the "activate" button in the Config dialog. Also be sure to set both the input and output codecs in that dialog. I use a Signalink USB and am not familiar with the iMic dongle. However, you should see it in the dialogs as an alternative to "Built-in input/output". When debugging these things, seeing any kind of audio input on the waterfall tells you that input is working. Hook up a microphone or play a CD/iPod etc and be sure you can see it. (If you can see the input you can also hear when you turn up the AF control on the radio, than that path should be working and you should be able to decode digital signals. On output, it sounds like the output of the sound card isn't getting to the K3. Check the cable between the card and line-in on the K3. Also check that the multitude of K3 config settings are correct. (The manual is quite good for getting them right.) You should be in Data-A mode on the K3. I have been using RumLog, but I don't have the interface to cocoaModem set up and just transfer the data with cut/paste. Two years ago, on a much slower mac, the automatic connection tended to freeze both of them requiring force-quit to recover, embarrassing during a QSO. I think a faster computer makes this problem much less likely. Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 5/3/12 at 16:33, n...@nf4l.com (Mike) wrote: >I'm shifting from a Win 'puter to a Mac.

Re: [Elecraft] question for psk users
Its true that most modern rigs have narrow filters for CW etc but most rigs use DSP in the final IF stage to do this. This narrow passband is not protected with narrow roofing filters. look at the FT950, AGC comes after the roofing filter and before the second and third IF. the narrowest option for the roofing filter is 3Khz and 20khz for the FT450A strong signal outside the dsp passband but still within the passband of the roofing filter will still knock out the week signals no matter how hard you try. This holds true for many of the the rigs in the big three linup excluding some of the high end ones that most of us cant afford.one of the advantages of the K3 is its ability to use any roofing filter in any mode. making it awsome for digital. most of the other in its price range don't have this ability or even offer narrow roofing filters. Not everyone can afford a K3 or FT5000mp I consider myself lucky to have a K3. before I had it I often just shut down as my older rig could not filter out that guy 400hz down bragging that he was running 200W psk to the guy that just gave him a 599 ++ report. yea it was 20 years old and wouldnt let me use the CW filter in ssb. It all boils down to the same thing. operate with consideration don't shout when you don't need to. you should operate the minimum power that is needed to maintain communications. > On 5/2/2012 1:07 PM, David Moes wrote: > > You are assuming that everyone has the luxury of narrow roofing > > filters and can filter out the week and reject unwanted strong > > signals. most PSK stations are not blessed with a K3 and are not able > > to suppress strong signals. before I had a K3 2.4 was the narrowes I > > could do. most afordable rigs today still stop at 3khz (FT950) and > > some even wider. > > That's not true.

[Elecraft] K3, KX3 case shoulder straps
I've just learned that -some- of the 1-1/2" wide shoulder straps that I've shipped with K3 and KX3 cases were not assembled correctly by the supplier, making them too long for most users. The "fix" is to first completely remove the rubber pad from the strap. It will only come off one end of strap, and this is done by cocking the hook assembly so that it will slip through the two slots in the ends of the pad. With the pad removed, adjust the strap for the shortest possible length ... about 50". Re-thread the end -without- the rectangular sliding buckle through the slots in the pad, thus pulling -two- layers of the strap through the slots. Re-adjust the length of the strap to suit. Be sure you have the pad on the strap(s) so that the flat side is facing inward and the adjustment buckle is facing outward when the strap is in place on your shoulder. I don't know how many straps have been sent with the pad on the strap incorrectly, hence this posting to the reflector. I apologize for the bandwidth. 73!

Re: [Elecraft] P3: new unit no workee
The P3 is supposed to auto-baud the K3 to figure out what baud rate it is using and then reset it to 38,400 automatically. However autobaud was broken in P3 firmware versions 1.06 through 1.13. Either upgrade to 1.15 or later or manually set the K3 to 38400 in the "RS232" config menu.

New P3, assembled last night. Basic display is Ok - IF information from K3 gets to P3. Freq. info does not get from the K3 to the P3 (not displayed on center of screen or at MKR A:). Unable to switch to 'fixed-tune'. Freq. info does not pass through the P3 from K3 to logging program (via microHam). However, freq. info does pass from K3 to logging program if P3 power is off.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-PSK/RTTY Question
Hi Bill, Good deal on the order in! As soon as they get past midnight then you should be close. I have a whole handful of small transformers both from digikey and radio shack we got for club interface project. And bunches of optical coupled Darlingtons. And perfboard I used in the past. Also have a breadboard that just has three transformers ( for dual receive) with pairs of RCA connectors. I first just connected the cables directly to my laptop but the hum/noise was not acceptable. Even pulled the AC cord on the laptop and ran on batteries. But then I expected that based on early interfaces for my other pre-K3 radios. and back to the start of this thread. yes, the SignaLin-USB should be fine also. Especially if you happen to have one handy. 73, tom n4zpt On 5/3/2012 3:35 PM, Bill Conkling wrote: > Welll > > My KX3 is on the list, I'm near the top of Dec 28 (00:23:59) so I am not > sure at this point.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Recommendations for Receiver Audio Equalisation
For SSB I set the lowest two bands to -16 and set the two highest bands for -2 (2.4) and -3 (3.6). This gets rid of LF trash and takes the edge off of the hiss. I'm currently experimenting with the lowest two at -16, the next two flat, 1600 at +3, 2400 at -3 and 3600 at -6 to provide some boost to intelligibility (the +3 at 1600) and maintaining the hiss reduction. For CW I set the lowest two bands to -16, then next three bands flat and the top three to -6, -10, -12. Leaving the middle three bands flat allows the full "width" of almost 1000 Hz for off frequency callers but still gets rid of low frequency trash and high frequency hiss 73, ...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Recommendations for Receiver Audio Equalisation
Hi Ray, You should be aware of something that affects CW RX Equalization. On very narrow DSP widths the RX EQ is turned off. I believe it turns on at 150Hz and wider and it is off for 50 and 100Hz. Because of this, you never want to set any of the equalization values to a positive DB on CW. Only use zero or negative values. Let's say your CW pitch is set to a value between 400 Hz and 800 Hz and you set the 400 Hz and 800 Hz RX EX adjustments to +6db. Then when you turn the DSP width to 100Hz or less you would notice a 6db decrease in audio level. 73, Mike K2MK Ray G3XLG wrote > > I wonder if there any recommendations for the initial settings to try for > both the CW and SSB modes in the K3 ? > > 73 de Ray G3XLG > -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Recommendations-for-Receiver-Audio-Equalisation-tp7523604p7524728.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter receiver
Mr. Royster et al, I hope other readers of this topic will not be influenced by your ill founded post, because you are accusing Elecraft of having a poor product, when those of us who use the internal 2m modules know it is not true. You are entitled to your opinion, but there is no solution to be found. The product is a good one. Did you ask them to replace the module for you? I'm sure they will do it at no charge. Having had a K3 with the internal 2m module since the first month they shipped the modules, I have never experienced, nor have I heard of anyone saying they were having the trouble you describe, except you. I read your first post about your "Problem", and at the time I suspected you had never used a transceiver with a VFO on 2m FM and don't know how tune an FM signal with a VFO. That is still my opinion.

I have CW Skimmer but I rarely fire it up, not even in the case of the massive piles of 7O6T. In this case Skimmer would probably be at its best, since the pileup doesn't stop calling no matter what. The pan screen shows more or less the same weed patch when the DX is transmitting, and when someone is working him, as it does during the calling intervals.

I operate CW, SSB, and several digital modes. I find that I generally want to leave the RXEQ set flat in CW modes so that I hear off-frequency signals under contest conditions. I generally roll off the lower two octave bands for SSB because those bands provide no contribution to intelligibility, and I leave the rest set flat. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter
Thanks Julie, Strong and weak are then their audio levels? Given that you are listening to the repeater output the RF carrier level should be the same for some that are fine and some that are clipping. Are all the ones clipping on the same repeater? Perhaps then strong means loud means higher deviation but not so as to clip the repeater receiver since I presume the same talkers are fine on your 706. My 706 had pretty wide FM filters, something like 20-30 KHz wide. ( we used to have a local repeater that clipped with excessive input deviation.) Using your panadapter are the ones that clip clearly wider than 13 KHz? Or offset? Perhaps the repeaters being used by those talkers are older ones with wide filters that allow wide deviation input? So is a puzzle. Strong and weak alike are fine on my K3 with internal transverter but my local repeaters are all on 15KHz centers and do not seem to be much wider than 13-15KHz on my P3 ( or my LP-PAN or SDR-I/Q ). I am wondering then if you have a bad filter? 73, tom n4zpt On 5/3/2012 10:31 AM, Julie Royster wrote: > Larry K4MWE and I are hearing lots of distortion (clipping probably) on the > K144XV tuned to local repeaters for anyone with strong signals.

Yes, but some rigs are more versatile than others, and some operators don't bother to learn enough about their radios to use the options that they provide. Some rigs may not allow digital transmission at the frequency where that filter is centered, or may not allow it to be switched in for SSB modes. In other cases, the architecture of the rig may require that a different input of the radio be used for the digital modulation. For example, I think I remember correctly that I had to feed the Patch input of my FT1000MP for AFSK to center it in my RX filters and for VOX to work. Or maybe it was the Packet input as you noted for the FT-950. There's also the matter of learning to use all the controls on the radio to best advantage, including, as others have suggested, the RF gain control. Back in the old days, AGC was rarely used on CW, we set AF gain to a suitable level and rode the RF gain control as needed, and switched in a crystal filter to bring out the signal we were interested in. One of the things about becoming a better operator is taking the time to learn these things. Those who choose not to do so will continue to be limited by their ignorance. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] OT: Hearing Aid Advice
A big thanks to all who took the time away from speculating when they would win the KX3 lottery and receive their prize, to help me resolve my dilemma, and overcome my procrastination. The response was tremendous both on and off the reflector, and I was greatly encouraged to learn of so many other hams with reduced hearing abilities that have successfully coped with this handicap. I feel that I've met some new friends and allies from both far and near, although I doubt if any have convinced their doctors to prescribe, so that the DMV will issue them a "Handicap" parking permits for their vehicles, HI. Several sent me articles and/or links with further information about hearing aid techniques and use. Others have pointed out that COSTCO (a big box warehouse store, at least in the west) has very good price reductions for several name brands and models (including their own). My wife has personally experienced their knowledgeable audiologists and good service. So I presently have picked up their literature and brochures and made an appointment to see her "man".

Re: [Elecraft] K3-PSK/RTTY Question
Hi Bill, For my K3 I do just as you say. A serial cable plus two audio cables connected to the line in/out of my computer sound card and my K3. Tossed my homebrew interface I used with my FT-1000 in the parts box. However my laptop does not have line in/out and so far the KX3 does not have line in/out. I get odd noise that looks like hum plus some scruff when I connect my KX3 directly to my laptop. It works but do not want to transmit the noise. So some sort of isolation and level adjusting is needed beyond just the computer sliders and KX3 mike gain and speaker level adjustment. Seems to me that is. So for my KX3 I just picked up the TRRS and TRS right angle connectors and plan to hook up one of my unterminated SL-USB cables ( short Ethernet cut in half) to play. Given the SL-USB is in my go kit anyway with my laptop. May use one of the inexpensive interface boards I found on eBay with a couple transformers and transistor switch. Or just grab some resistors and audio isolation transformers out of my parts boxes, i.e. dust off my old interface board. So yes, with the KX3 seems an interface is needed. Was very happy to read that in the future a firmware update might include having the speaker out and microphone in be switched to line out and in for the data modes. What do you use with your KX3??? 73, tom n4zpt On 5/3/2012 9:32 AM, nr4c wrote: > Hi, Steve, > \ > I really think the SL-USB is a real nice interface if you need an > interface.

Re: [Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter
A defective FM filter for the K3 can be 1) Well off frequency and a loud station well into normal limiting will "fill" the filter's skewed bandwidth, and present a badly distorted signal to the following IF. 2) can have defective internal crystal mounts, or defective crystals. Being non-linear, these have been known to generate IMD all by themselves. 3) Not defective, but somehow the offset for the filter has been set to some wild value, and that part of K3 setup utility needs redoing. Call the support staff and get help. 73, Guy.

Julie, It does sound like you may have a bad 13 kHz filter installed - that is only a guess. Work with Elecraft support to get it resolved.

Re: [Elecraft] Off list responses
For all the mailman.qth lists I subscribe to Reply goes only to the sender, Reply all goes to the list and to the sender. All the Yahoo groups (I hate that arrangement) Reply goes to the list, you have to do Reply All and delete the list to send a personal comment. Furthermore, with the Yahoo groups, there are some "links" at the bottom of the post that allow you to reply to the sender or to the list. Unfortunately, those links do not copy any of the prior text, so there is no "mind-jogger" to tell the public list reader what is being responded to. If you do the email client Reply or Reply all and attempt to trim the prior text, you get a whole screenfull of garbage after what you tried to trim. Give me the simple email list like we have here, and lobby to change Yahoo groups to be more like this list. Do "Reply All" and delete the individual sender if the reply is public. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/3/2012 10:18 AM, Jim Dunstan wrote: > At 02:13 PM 5/2/2012 -0700, you wrote: >> Public responses to public questions is just good list etiquette. >> >> 73, Ron AC7AC >> >> -Original Message- >> >> Yesterday I posed a question and received eight (8) email responses.

Re: [Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter
> Would the external transverter be any different or does it use the very > same filter? The filter in question is part of the radio, not the transverter. So yes, it would use the same filter. You _may_ have a defective 13 KHz FM filter, or it is not configured properly, or the FM Deviation parameter is not set properly. I would imagine the Elecraft support team has gone through these various possibilities with you. In any event, it is NOT a design problem, or a widespread one. I am sure it can be resolved. As a last resort, you could send the radio to Elecraft to get it corrected. good luck, Bruce, N1RX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] WIndows4P3 Center mode questions
P3 Tips for Fixed Tune or Track Mode (courtesy of Mike, K2MK) When you’re in Fixed-Tune mode you will find that sometimes the signal you are interested in is close to one side or the other. By pressing the Center button you can turn the knob and move the station back to the center. I also found it useful when chasing a split DX to put the DX station’s signal on the left side of the screen and looking at the pileup (up in frequency) on the right side of the screen. The Center button is useful for this purpose. And another trick when in Fixed-Tune mode to get the signal back to the middle of the screen: Set up a top row function key (FN1-FN4) that will toggle between Fixed-Tune and Tracking modes. Then if the station you are watching is not on center just press your function button twice. The first press changes it to Tracking mode which will put the signal at screen center. The second press changes it back to Fixed-Tune mode. Using some of the above techniques (which helped me one day to discover my P3 wasn't working properly and needed a firmware update!), I also found that by running in the Fixed-Tune mode, you could "re-center" the cursor very easily to one side or the other (using CENTER and turning the "SELECT" knob appropriately). Then as you tune across signal peaks (like during a RTTY contest), you can sort of "step" your way across the band, 10 or 20 kHz with each pass. One of the greatest benefits I personally derived from the above (reprinted by courtesy and credit to Mike, K2MK), is making one of my "commands" on the front buttons of the P3 the ability to toggle between Tracking and Fixed-Tune mode - it tends to act like a "reset" button - a couple of quick jabs to the button and the cursor is re-centered, but, because of the second push, is still in the same mode as when I first pressed it. Hope that makes sense - I had to play with it for a few minutes before it became obvious what was going on.

Re: [Elecraft] Loading inductor Question
Ken, When you do the research and math, worth bearing in mind that powdered iron (and ferrite) cores can generate intermodulation products. Usually this problem will affect the "receive" performance of an antenna matching network, or a receiver's front end filters, if exposed to strong signals e.g. SW Broadcast. The root cause of this IMD problem can be traced back to the magnetic flux generated in a core by the incoming signals. The flux density is proportional to the applied voltage (vector sum of incoming signals), and inversely proportional to the core's cross section (area), the number of turns and the frequency. Thus the number of active turns should be as large as possible, the loaded Q of the network should be kept low, the core's mu low in value, and a large core used. Sorry to be late with this comment. 73, Geoff LX2AO On May 01, 2012 at 15:23 +0200, Ken Alexander wrote: Many thanks for all the helpful responses!

[Elecraft] Problem with Elecraft's built in 2 meter
Larry K4MWE and I are hearing lots of distortion (clipping probably) on the K144XV tuned to local repeaters for anyone with strong signals. Weak stations are OK. Dale and Howard have made numerous suggestions but the problem appears to be that the FM filter is too narrow to allow some real-world repeaters to be received well. In contrast, the same repeaters sound just fine on our old Icom 706. We had hoped to be able to use the K3 for all bands. Has anyone else had this problem? Would the external tranverter be any different or does it use the very same filter? 73, Julie KT4JR, wife of Larry K4MWE __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] Soliticing Comments on the P3
There are many I've encountered who argue that Skimmer (including Reverse Beacon Networks) is the best tool for the pileup. But it's also been pointed out that newer technology has made it possible for the DX to work a station 10.35 kHz up from where he's listening and within 12 nanoseconds (quickly!) 40 other stations are zero beat with that frequency - and then with all of them jammed on top of that same frequency, reading a single call is virtually impossible, forcing the DX op to tune elsewhere. This is not my opinion, this is a comment from G3TXF, an acknowledged expert. While one could *still* argue the merits of the Skimmer technology (and I've been struggling to make mine work properly!), I've found great success with my P3. I can't always immediately tell where the DX is currently listening, but, with the SUB RX on, listening to the DX in left ear, pileup in the right ear, tuning fairly quickly with the VFO B knob, watching the P3, etc., I've followed the station through the pileup on numerous occasions. My personal "best reward" has been by using the P3 to identify "...where they ain't..." and more or less camp out there until the DX stumbles across me. There are times when the pileup discipline is awesome - only the guy being called responds - one could only wish this would happen more often! Then the signal spike on the P3 leads one to the proverbial well. Unfortunately, many, many times, the DX calls for "PJ?" and a bunch of guys with nothing resembling a "P" or a "J" just keep right on calling. Then the pileup, like life, becomes a little more difficult! The Elecraft Electro-Wonder K9 will solve some of those problems. There's a feature being developed on that rig that will identify the continuous non-listening callers and send them a 36v jolt that will hopefully shock them to their senses. 1984 has long come and gone and Big Brother is no longer watching the pileup!

Re: [Elecraft] Off list responses
Having run lists for a several organization, I found that the default of "Reply to Sender" works best. Why? Well, on more than one occasion, someone would "Reply to the group" with comments directed at only the sender. This often resulted in someone getting upset, most the originator of the message, but often others who continue to reply to the group about the person who made the remarks. So rather than the administrator have to deal with this, it is the standard that list operations use the "Reply only to sender".

Re: [Elecraft] Frequency Calibration
A 400 Hz difference is way off! Method-2 works, no problem. I set mine months ago and it is still within a few Hz of WWV. Make sure you are doing the zero beating with the RIT off. FWIW, my ref osc is at 49.379.918.

That's not true. Every rig manufactured today provides a CW filter option that works very well for reducing/controlling the AGC blocking issue.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-PSK/RTTY Question
Steve... Although some argue that adjuncts like the SignaLink are not needed. I have used SignaLinks on a K2, an ICOM 910H, and now my K3/100+P3. I am very pleased with the way in which it gives me that extra little degree of control, and in particular in the way in which it enhances FLDIGI/FLRIG for both RTTYand PSK of all speeds. For $67 it has been worth every nickel of the price, especially vis-a-vis the costs of the other parts of my HF station. I run FLDIGI/FLRIG and the screen-captured P3 screen on one of my two monitors, which leaves the other one free for any other need. On the various PSK speeds, I run at 25 watts on the K3, and on RTTY I move the output up to 75-80 watts. If I want to run CW, I just shut down FLDIGI (it is not a sterling performer on CW) and run without a decoder. Even on my forays into SSB (usually on VHF or UHF, where I run >350 watts) I leave FLRIG running, as it gives very nice semi-remote access to many of the K3 parameters, but that has little to do with the "issue" of using a SignaLink.

Re: [Elecraft] Soliticing Comments on the P3
My P3 is new enough that I'm learning more and more about it as well. In chasing 7O6T I too have found my P3 valuable. A couple of days ago, 7O6T was on 12 CW and the signal was wy down in the mud. The P3 didn't do diddly to help me identify where "the pack" was spread out. I came within a gnat's heinie of querying the group to see why the sensitivity on 12 seemed to be so low. Then, later that evening (I did get through to them on 12 CW by the way!), I was sitting there, staring at the front of the P3. I remembered futzing with a number of the controls the first few days I had it. My first change was probably to make the scale read in "S-units" (it still needs to be calibrated, but it gives me the warm fuzzies and besides, it's all relative). Then I realized what I probably needed was REF LVL. Pressed the button for that function and went into a strange mode - that mode is known as the "...the heck with the directions, just push some buttons, twirl some knobs and see what happens!" mode. The REF LVL was *exactly* what I was looking for. I moved mine down so that S2 was pretty much on the bottom. S9 is off the top of the screen at the moment, but I figure if they're S5 or S6 they're going to be reasonably loud anyway. Can't believe I operated all these years without some kind of panadapter!

Re: [Elecraft] Off list responses
Every mail program I've used on PCs or Macs in the past decade has EASILY provided the user the option of "Reply" and "Reply All". On my Mac's "Mail" program, they're EQUALLY available and right next to each other, so it is only a matter of YOU DECIDING which one you want. Far, far easier than the amateur radio license exam you had to take at some point. Perhaps those having trouble accessing the "Reply All" feature on their e-mail programs should consider finding a different program. If you change "Reply" on this reflector to mean "Reply All", replying to a single individual becomes a whole lot more difficult — and circumvents the flexibility built into modern e-mail clients. Changing the meaning of "Reply" to "Reply All" is akin to making the "A/B" button on the K3 do the same thing as the "A->B" button and eliminating the "A/B" function from easy access; pray tell, what is the sense of having TWO buttons that do the SAME thing? Also, I don't think it's the role of anyone on a reflector to suggest to other participants that it's not "ethical" to respond to the original poster off line. If, for instance, a poster has offered up a rig or list of equipment for sale, s/he has created a competitive opportunity and I don't believe that my response with an offer to buy any of that equipment is anyone else's business but mine and the seller's. There are many reasons for choosing to reply only to the original poster; please don't tell me they're not valid for me. I'd like the opportunity to make my own decisions about that.

The thing is, this list is set up so that when hit reply, it replies to the author only. You need to reply to all for it to go to the reflector/list.

There are advantages/disadvantages of doing it either way. 73, John N1JM -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Off-list-responses-tp7519843p7522345.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K7SVV Estate Sale
Hi All, First rig to sell is a K2. This is a relatively late model (serial # 5K+). It is the QRP version, and has the SSB option and 160 meter option. I also have the ATU option, but it is not installed--it does come with the rig, however. NOT a difficult add-on. I checked the radio out today, and it works super FB. Neat, clean, and assembled by a guy who was fastidious! He was an IBM tech, so that might give you some comfort. I looked hard, but found no issues. Not surprising, though, since this guy loved to build stuff, but didn't use them much. Anyway, I think it's a good buy, and if I didn't already have two K2's, I'd buy it myself! List for what he had in it is around $1100+. I think a more than fair price for this rig is $675 plus shipping. Let me know if you are interested.
