Re: [Elecraft] OT: APP strain relief
If you solder smaller cables you need strain relief even more. The solder makes the wire stiffer as it wicks up the wire,making them more prone to breaking in my experience. The heat shrink also makes them a little easier to insert into the housing. Two layers of the thin stuff or one of the heavier gauge.

K3 of my friend was used as the source. Measurements were done with QS1R SDR receiver. K3 itself, with 2 tone engaged and running 100 W showed 3dr order IMD at - 28db. HLA 300 Plus was driven by the same K3 (5W drive) and at the output of around 180 W (20 m band) showed -25db of the 3rd order IMD. Anything above 200 W makes IMD unacceptable (- 10db at 300W). The situation is a bit better on lower bands (160 and 80m ) where one can go up to almost 250 W. Anyway it seems that with 5 W drive and output power of below 200W, HLA 300 Plus can be used on all the bands quite successfully. I have also modified the amp to work from PTT signal only, and disabled RF VOX in it. RF band sensing remained intact. 73, Igor UA9CDC __ 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] OT: APP strain relief
Don W. has it right. Get some adhesive lined heat shrink (also called dual wall). I put a length of small diameter over the wires up to the APP, then a shorter length of larger diameter that also goes up over the rear of the APP. This stabilizes the wires in the APP, allows gradual bending behind the APP to reduce chances of fatigue failure from low radius flexing, and also helps hold the black and red halves of the APP together. While you are at it, get an assortment of diameters of this heat shrink. You'll use it for all sorts of electrical cables, if you do that kind of stuff. I seem to go through a whole lot of it myself. I've purchased from www.buyheatshrink.com and have been satisfied.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: APP strain relief
I just placed an order with Powerwerx for a special 45A pc-mount connector and special #10wire plug to use 10awg wiring with my amplifiers. The 300w amp runs 17A at 27vdc so the heavier dc wiring will be useful (typical 60% effficiency). I am building a CCI AN762 (5w/140w) amplifier kit and will use the same dc connector. Estimate it will draw 234w dc load at 13.8v which is 16.9A. I plan to bring the amp to Dayton to show and sell. I am just finishing winding the cores for the six band LP filter. Testing next. 73, Ed - KL7UW __ 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

KX3 beta firmware rev 1.44 (with DSP rev 1.16) is now available. See release notes below. You'll need the KX3 Utility application to download and install firmware.

When NR is turned on, the present setting will be displayed on VFO B for about 2 seconds. To select a new setting, rotate the knob before the display times out. The setting is independent for CW and voice modes. Note: The range of this parameter is 0-10, corresponding to the “mix” or “M” parameter of the RX NR menu entry. See below. * RX NR MENU ENTRY CHANGES: The RX NR menu entry can be used to adjust all three NR parameters (B=beta, D=decay, M=wet/dry mix). The M parameter now has a range of 0-10, matching the range available when the knob above the NR switch is used (see above). As before, all parameters can be adjusted separately for CW and voice modes. In most cases the factory default settings can be used for beta and decay, and the mix adjusted for the desired overall amount of NR using the knob (without using the menu).

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 AMP and KXAT100 ATU pics and info
Just curious why the FCC has a 15 dB limit on power gain on all amplifiers. Is it related to the CB issue or is that sufficiently addressed in the 0dB gain for 26-28 mhz?

Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 AMP and KXAT100 ATU pics and info
Oak Hills Research sells a similar BNC bulkhead connector that fits in a UHF hole. http://www.ohr.com/parts.htm BNC can handle roughly the same power as UHF. The max voltage on an Amphenol UHF connector is 600V. The max for BNC is 500V. A Type N connector can handle 1500V, so you can see how poor the UHF is for its size. wunder K6WRU On Apr 25, 2013, at 8:39 PM, Rick Dettinger wrote: Morse Express sells SO-239 to BNC Conversion Kits.

Re: [Elecraft] New kx3 PA/ATU
So, if everyone guesses a low price will this result in Wayne and Eric rethinking their pricing strategy?? I think the correct price, albeit a bit high, is $249.99 and without the ATU it is $189.99. P.S. I am not offering my guesses for the sweepstakes, if my price comes in and is the winner than buying it will be like getting it for free! 73, phil, K7PEH KX3 #2148 On Apr 25, 2013, at 8:33 PM, Gary Gregory vk1zzg...@gmail.com wrote: Let the sweepstakes beginwinner receives free kxat100. $799.95 :-) Gary Vk1ZZ K3, KX3, KPA500-FT, KAT500-FT,P3.
