Re: [Elecraft] K3 Powerpole Replacement
Powerpoles are entirely suited to purpose, if (of course) fitted correctly. If connectors are pulling apart and they are fitted correctly, there is obviously far too much pull stress on the connecting cable, which must be relieved by some means. Simple...'just do it'. 73, F5VJC On 11 December 2013 05:45, Jim Brown wrote: > On 12/9/2013 1:36 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: > >> I have been using APPs for ALL my 12v gear for > 6 years now, with no >> problems at all >> > > Same here -- I've built at least a hundred pairs of Power Poles.

Re: [Elecraft] XG3 Band Change
Well, I HAVE heard of people going "down" to 10 meters. And 160 meters didn't get the name "top band" for being down. But it's been a long, long time since anyone I heard spoke in meters. Been a ham since '52. Maybe it was my interest in the history of "wireless" that indoctrinated me. But I've learned to leave up and down out unless I'm specific about wavelength or frequency. 73 Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of mcduf...@ag0n.net Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 4:19 PM To: elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] XG3 Band Change On Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:30:01 -0800 (PST), Neal Enault wrote: > Reminds me of the classic discussions I have had over the years > regarding band/frequency changes.

Re: [Elecraft] XG3 Band Change
Don said: "I know, that was a bit 'confusing' to me at first, but if you think of it as up or down the row of band LEDs, it is easier to deal with." Probably because I design Human Interfaces (hardware and software) for a living, this was my first impression. I was simply navigating up or down a stack of LEDs. I never thought about the buttons in terms of wavelength or frequency. But I'll admit that despite hamming it up for 43 years, I still don't feel comfortable calling 160 meters "The Top Band" and can never think of 70 cm as my personal "Bottom Band". I've always thought in terms of frequency, like QSY. Up to me means increasing frequency not reducing the wavelength.

Re: [Elecraft] Internal Antenna Tuner and SPE Expert Amplifier Questions
No indication which SPE amp. It makes a difference because IIRC the 1K tuner can't be bypassed. The 2K can. I use the 2K-FA. There's no need to use the K3 tuner with the 2K as its input SWR is satisfactorily low. 30W from K3 drives 2K to the legal limit. Off, the 2K tuner is switched out of the ckt. In that configuration if your coax needs tuner help you'd have to use the internal K3 tuner, or an external box. If the external box can handle output of the SPE amp I'd connect it between amp and antenna. Given a choice I'd want the K3 internal tuner for convenience if nothing else. It remembers its settings per band so your task is only to switch it on or off as needed. FYI the 2K-FA in standby makes little - if any - fan noise. Not much penalty to have it on whenever the K3 is on. There's a provision for the 2K-FA to receive an "I've just been turned on/off" signal from the K3 that also turns on, and off, the 2K-FA. Don't know about the 1K. 73 Art K6XT~~ Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.

The recommend that you do not cascade a tuner such as the Palstar on the output of the SPE. They do not mention a manual tuner at the antenna, but I would think it to be OK as that is what a Gamma or T match on a beam would be, as well as other matching devices.

Re: [Elecraft] PR6-10 Receiver Pre Amplifier
Ray, The short answer is no - you do not need a separate RX antenna, but it can also be used with an RX antenna if desired. If you do not already have it, you will need to install the KXV3 or KXV3A option. The instructions for connecting and using the preamp are in the Preamp manual. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/10/2013 4:20 AM, Ray G3XLG wrote: Hi All I am thinking of buying this accessory but I am a bit confused.!

Re: [Elecraft] PR6-10 Receiver Pre Amplifier
Ray & Stephen, And of course you will need the KXV3 or KXV3A board in your K3. Further, when you press the RX ANT button for 6, 10, and 12 meters it will be remembered so that you don't have to push it each time you use those bands. And lastly, the preamp is activated by a single wire connection to the accessory socket so that it activated for only those bands where it is used. When de-activated the preamp has a pass through connection for a separate receive antenna to be used for the lower frequency bands. The mechanical and electrical design of the preamp is very well thought out. If you are already using your accessory socket you'll need a DB15 Y cable which is available from Elecraft for a reasonable price. I have the PR6-10 and I am very happy with its performance on all 3 bands. 73, Mike K2MK Stephen G4SJP wrote > Ray, > > It fits neatly between the RX in and out BNCs on the back panel.
