[Elecraft] Suppporting Products
Hi Doug, Since we specialize in KX series accessories, we have a good set of links to such products at: https://proaudioeng.com/links/ May I also suggest that you join the Yahoo Elecraft KX User Group? We now have over 5100 members representing over 50% of KX3 owners: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KX3/info Cheers & 73, Howie - WA4PSC I looked today for links to supporting products such as Fred Cady's books, Nifty Guides, KX3 stands, add on heat sinks and such but am unable to find this material. __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Frequency display only shows 10's of HZ?
It will show 1 Hz tuning in CW if APF is on and also in Data modes.

Re: [Elecraft] Battery Mod for K2 battery pack (was : Battery Pack Mod for the KX3)
Johnny, While this is a good suggestion, given the age of the K2 and the lack of engineering time for the Elecraft designers, I don't think it will be a change coming from Elecraft. It is however a good suggestion to reduce the weight and operating time for a portable K2/10. I think it would be a good mod for some enterprising ham. I don't think an internal charging circuit board would be necessary. Check out the direct battery connection on my website www.w3fpr.com - Smartcharger for the K2. With a battery replacement, the Smartcharger part is not relevant, but the direct connection to the battery is relevant. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/5/2016 9:11 PM, Johnny Siu via Elecraft wrote: Similarly, with the advance in battery technology, the lead acid battery in K2 should be now advanced to a LiFePo pack as well.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 age
I would agree that there is very little if anything in a KPA500 to deteriorate solely from age, unless we're talking about hundreds of years. That said, perhaps John is concerned that, if the seller is not being truthful about the age, he may not be truthful about other things as well, such as abuse. Just a guess, I suspect I'd be concerned. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2016 - www.cqp.org On 7/5/2016 2:24 PM, Phil Wheeler wrote: My KPA500 S/N 19XX arrived in spring of 2014 so, a bit over two years ago.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 age
John, I purchased KPA500 serial #1523 in February 2014. It was one of the amps that went on the T33A dxpedition in November 2013. Of the five amps on that dxpedition 4 were in the low 1500s and one was in the low 1200s. I don't know why they had one that had a much lower serial number than the others. The dxpedition coordinator did tell me they got the amps about a year before the dxpedition. So that puts my serial number in late 2012 or early 2013. Elecraft provided the K3s and KPA500s on the dxpedition. There should be no worry about the serial number or age of a KPA500. Unlike the K3 that had many mods over its productive life, I can only think of one mod on the KPA500 and that was to the 12 meter bandpass filter. There were issues with some KPA500s on 12 and the upgrade fixed that. My KPA500 did not experience the problem, but I had it upgraded in July 2014 just to be safe. Other than that one upgrade, and you might ask if he has had it done, a low serial number 1300 should be as good as one off the line today. If the amp has not had the upgrade you can get the parts from Elecraft and do it yourself or send the RF deck to Elecraft and they will do it for you. You do not have to send the complete amp with power supply back to California. All they need is the RF deck. This saves lots on shipping.

Re: [Elecraft] New second hand P3 question
It's unclear what you mean by "unclear". :=) Perhaps averaging is turned on. You can turn it off by HOLDing the AVERAGE key twice. You might also try switching between tracking and fixed-tune modes.

Re: [Elecraft] Panadapters for a MM station using 4 K3s
Bill, If you DON'T need the point and click feature (and many others) of the P3 and simply want to see band activity on the band you're on, I've had great luck with the NooElec SDR "dongle" and Nooelec 125MHz Upconverter using SDR# software being fed by your K3's IF OUTPUT. I'm able to put a small SDR# window just below each of my N1MM entry windows so I can see band activity on both SO2R rigs. You can set the bandwidth to anything you want but I find +/- 40 KHZ of my operating frequency to be good for me. A downside is that it takes 10 seconds to adjust the screen each time you turn on your computer but with a total investment of about $70 per rig, I'm happy to setup the screen before a contest and live with the limitations. If you run assisted or MM, you can just use the bandmap up/down features of your contest software to move around the band and don't need that feature of the P3. I don't have a P3 but I think that is a feature. ;-) Good luck with your decision.

[Elecraft] KPod arrives in EI within 4 days
Dear OMs and YLs, Oh happy days. My K-Pod arrived this morning not bad for a trip across the USA and Atlantic in four days.I was blessed in that no VAT (23% plus additional costs) was taken this time. Life is good, thank you Elecraft. I have desired this Pod since first purchasing a K3 many years ago. After a while acceptance that there was never going to be a Pod sank in and then this year Elecraft came through. There are other solutions but this is neat and small.The memories for CW and Voice can now be easily accessed without the finger hovering over M1 or M2. This was a pretty uncomfortable position. It will even be possible to kick back in the easy chair and tune the radio. You guys are good. 73 Doug EI2CN __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] Panadapters Summary of comments
Thanks everyone foe all the comments and suggestion. I was surprised to see the limited comments toward the SDRs like; Funcube PRO Plus, SDR Play, Softrock and others and more comments toward the LP-Pan2 than expected with a good sound card of course. After some more research I'll pick a path and get started on my upgrades. 73 Bill W4RM Panadapter Re-cap of provided comments * The P3 is turnkey, plug and play as they say costs more, plug in an use today * Softrock based panadapter has worked great here on my K3 for many years. * LPPAN for several years with no problems. I was using NaP3, but with the uncertain future of its support, I have switched over to Win4K3. Configuration for the K3 and LPPAN is a bit simpler than with NaP3. * The LP-Pan2 or good SDR route simply from a cost perspective, If you want you can upgrade the sound system relatively inexpensively to an outboard USB solution like ASUS Xonar U7 or the Steinberg UR22 for more bandwidth, 192KHz * The LP-Pan - struggled with it for year then realized my sound card was junk, $80 for U5 card after getting said card, wanted another for RTTY!! * Software setup: LP-Bridge connects to K3s serial port & provides multiple virtual serial ports NaP3 for wide-band view, connects to U5 audio & K3s via LP-Bridge CW Skimmer, connects to U5 audio & K3s via LP-Bridge Either WriteLog or N1MM+ for logging, connects to K3s via LP-Bridge Set CW Skimmer to send spots to Telenet/localhost Connect logging software spots/band map to localhost This provides point & click capability for your logging program, and the main advantage is that no spots appear on the bandmap unless you are actually hearing them. * You should check out Win4K3Suite. It is the only software panadapter that offers true QSY's regardless of mode, bandwidth shift etc. Unlike the LPBridge software, Win4K3 operates trouble free. o Here's a link to the video. o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htVlc9x0IoU o It supports the P3/SVGA with a video capture board ($$$), LPPAN with a sound card($$) and SDRPlay ($). * I use 2 k3's and a kx3 all with an lp pan, a softrock (equivalent to lp pan with a bit of work) and direct I/Q from the kx3. I use cwskimmer for cw and rtty contests. I use a 20 inch monitor in portrait orientation to show about 22 khz of spectrum. Using synergy which allows sharing the keyboard and mouse I can get to the second PC running the kx3 pretty seamlessly. o This is for so3r. I am limited to 2 cwskimmers per PC due to its limitation. __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
