[Elecraft] K3S Scan Delay
How I can set the scan delay when a signal is found? I would like a longer delay time on the scan function when a signal is detected.

Re: [Elecraft] |KX2 Deaf on 7.0
Tony, Elecraft have a service agent - Carlo Bianconi - in Italy who does great work. Shipping was very reasonable. Several of the 6Gs DXpedition team sent KPA500s over to him for a hardware upgrade and full checkout before our first trip (TX6G). I'd chat with Elecraft support first, but if they suggest sending the unit to Carlo, from our experience it will be in good hands. 73 David G3WGN M6O WJ6O -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tip to help remove AA batteries
Shucks, our $1000 wireless professional microphones use the ribbon technique to assist in removing the battery/batteries. Works great until some apprentice audio tech forgets to put the ribbon UNDER the new battery and then says "hey, what's this hanging out of the case?" 73 Bob, K4TAX On 12/26/2017 2:46 PM, Mark via Elecraft wrote: Excellent tip, Mike!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tip to help remove AA batteries
I believe the batteries are really tight in the battery holder to provide a low resistance contact. I remember a post from Elecraft mentioning that they had to use a special battery holder to get that resistance down. I used to see ribbon under batteries to help pop them out of a holder. I’m pretty sure my 1960’s Sony transistor radio had those. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 26, 2017, at 12:03 PM, Mike Parkes wrote: > > I have only used Eneloop AA batteries on my kx3, so not sure if its just > them, but getting them out of the battery holder (on each end end) is > difficult. > > So I cut a strip of coated paper from a catalog, and wrapped that around > the end of battery on the + end and now I can pull them out easily. > Here are some pix to illustrate. > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CGpkMwu-oQW0ufhyZYzKagGH3-IVXAG5/view?usp=drivesdk > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1la62eVeYbAwOv6f2CUO90EkH1B3Xv9_W/view?usp=drivesdk > > (I do have the internal charger but waiting on a 13.8v PS. ) > > Happy new year to all on this list! > Mike AB7RU > __ > 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 wun...@wunderwood.org __ 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] KX3 tip to help remove AA batteries
I have only used Eneloop AA batteries on my kx3, so not sure if its just them, but getting them out of the battery holder (on each end end) is difficult. So I cut a strip of coated paper from a catalog, and wrapped that around the end of battery on the + end and now I can pull them out easily.

Re: [Elecraft] |KX2 Deaf on 7.0
Yes, by all means Tony should contact Elecraft service. They are staffed with very competent people, and have developed methods of supporting customers around the world. Several years ago, I experienced excellent support from SDR Kits, a small UK company that builds the excellent VNWA Vector Network Analyzer designed by EE prof DG8SAQ. I fried the front end by absent-mindedly transmitting into one antenna while the VNWA was still connected to another one. They sent me enough of the schematic and parts layout around that stage that I was able to purchase the needed SMT parts and get a younger local ham with SMT experience and a good microscope setup on his bench to install them. The parts I needed were inexpensive and easy to buy from the usual industrial electronics suppliers (like Farnell in the UK). There's a good chance that Elecraft could do something similar. Perhaps Tony might start with a good photo of the board and the part that fell out, and send that via email. 73, Jim K9YC On 12/26/2017 9:33 AM, K9MA wrote: Hi Tony, Sounds like a smoking gun to me.

Re: [Elecraft] K3s IF bandwidth?
It's as wide as the bandwidth of the BPF ahead of the 1st mixer. There are several BPF's for the various bands and their BW no doubt varies, but is likely much larger than 200 KHz. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 12/25/2017 9:17 AM, Jim Miller wrote: The P3 displays a maximum of 200khz.
