[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, Both bands had a steady hiss with rapid QSB between a wow and a flutter. Signals were weaker than last week. Weather reports were attention grabbing. I kept hearing the word blizzard. 50 mph with heavy snow is pretty intense. When lightning and thunder accompany it you've really got a storm. That got me thinking about autonomous snow blowers until I thought about the neighbors' pets. A homing beacon for the lonely shoveler would be more useful.

KD5ONS And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. _ __ 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] PX3 - USB thumb drive issues
I am having problems getting the PX3 to work with a thumb drive for screenshot captures. I had one smaller thumb drive (32MB?) that the PX3 would mount but wouldn't save screenshots too. So I figured maybe the thumb drive was bad and bought another one. This one locks up the PX3 or causes the px3 to run extremely slow. This is a brand new thumb drive 128 GB size. Is it the size that is choking the px3? Should I buy a smaller one, is there a recommended size? The PX3 manual states nothing about what the thumb drive requirements are to get it to work.

[Elecraft] KXPA100 amp and ATTN switch

Re: [Elecraft] K3 AFSK TX Filter
Ed, I am not certain what you are referring to as the "AFSK TX filter". You must enable the 2.7 or 2.8kHz filter for all DATA modes. You can enable any filters for receive in any mode, but you cannot use narrow filters for transmit. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/24/2019 1:40 PM, Ed G wrote: After switching on the AFSK TX filter in the CONFIG menu, I find that the filter essentially blocks all the soundcard audio from being transmitted by the K3, so that I have no output with the filter switched on.
