Yes, these Tascam products are excellent. They are built for the 
semi-pro audio world, typically people with small home studios. Being a 
quasi consumer/semi-pro product, new models are introduced periodically 
to keep up with new technology, but anything from mine, the US100, is 
perfectly suited for digital modes. I've used that US100 in my station 
for all digital modes for many years, and several years ago bought one 
used to have as a spare.


Yes, newer models have greater bit depth and faster sampling rates, but 
in ham radio, our only use for these properties is for devices like 
N8LP's spectrum display.

[Elecraft] FS: Tascam US-125M USB Sound Card for K3/KX2/KX3

[James Bennett via Elecraft]

As I noted in previous posts, we are moving out of CA and trying to get rid of 
un-needed items. Thought most were gone until I came across this item in a 
drawer.

It is a Tascam US-125M USB Audio Interface, aka Soundcard. I have one that is 
connected to my K3 (currently packed up for the move). This one was a backup 
and had been used occasionally with my previously-sold KX3 and KX2. I really 
have no need for this unit, so I’m offering it here. It works perfectly and has 
no exterior blemishes. I’ve got over 7,200 positive feedback on eBay, so you 
can rest assured that I’m not a scammer! Check me out - my userid is 
Fil-Am-Sellers

If you have a K3, KX3, or KX2 (or others, too) and want to get into digital 
communications, this little unit will do a great job for you. It will come in 
the original box and has the USB and audio cables you’d need to connect to your 
K3. If you plan on using it with a KX3 or KX2, you’ll need to get an adapter to 
mate up with the supplied RCA-style cables that a K3 uses. 

There are several of these used Tascam units for sale right now on fleaBay for 
$120 and up. I’ll sell this one to you for $95, free shipping USPS Priority 
Mail to any US address.

Please contact me off-list if you are interested.

Re: [Elecraft] Interesting article...

[Eric Swartz]

I just saw this and below is a copy of what I posted to his comments
section.

"Hi Mike,

While the last year has been challenging due to the Covid crisis, the CA
wildfires near us and related supply issues, we are not now shut down by CA
for COVID and are financially healthy. We are alive and kicking - shipping
radios, amplifiers and accessories every week.

You mentioned the backlog on the KX2, KX3, KXPA100 and K2, for which I
apologize. All of these are still in production and shipping. Orders for
all of our products surprisingly have been much higher than we expected
during the Covid crisis, which has contributed to the current backlog on
these products. (It looks like hams had more time this past year to enjoy
the hobby, which has helped sales!) I just checked our shipping report for
the first ten days of this month (through today 2/10) and all of these are
shipping along with their accessories, the KPA500, KPA1500 etc.  We
certainly have seen intermittent production delays due to parts shortages,
but to date nothing has shut us down. We've gotten pretty good at quickly
finding alternate parts when one is delayed.

I see you were disappointed the K3S was no longer in production. We
formally discontinued it May of 2019 when we introduced the K4, after a
close to 13 year run for the K3 and K3S. We've also previously discontinued
the K1 and KX1, which also had a long run. In general we discontinue
products as sales decrease over time and when new products replace them.
Fortunately we've been able to continue production of the K2 since its
first ship in Jan of 1999. Now that's a long run :-)

We are also ramping up production and shipments of the K4, which also
competes for production resources. I noted in my recent live video Q&A
session on the K4 that we had just received 100 full PC board sets for the
K4 from our local assembly subcontractor and these are winding their way
through production. (See the Elecraft YouTube channel for the Zoom
recording.) We received a huge response to the K4 and as a result have a
very large number of backorders that will keep us busy and financially
healthy for some time.

Lastly you mentioned the 'TBD' on K3S option boards and accessories. We
recently asked for interest from our customers on a special run of all of
these and received a very large response, which makes it economical to
build another run of most of these. We've now received the quote updates
from our suppliers and we will be contacting everyone starting next week
who expressed interest in these items.

We're still in business, healthy and enjoying designing and building
exciting products for the amateur radio community, and we hope to continue
doing so for some time!"

Re: [Elecraft] Interesting article...

Interesting indeed.  I love my Elecraft radios I hope they survive.  Maybe
it's time for an inflection point and relocate out of CA.   Here in Utah
except for masks and the customer density at restaurants I can't even tell
there is a pandemic.  It's nearly impossible to find a parking spot at the
mall. We have the sixth lowest death rate, and the 4th highest infection
rate per 1M in the nation.  I'm guessing that we are getting close to herd
immunity.

There is more to life than beaches, sunshine, and mild weather.  ;)
