Re: [Elecraft] KX1 Receive Audio

2021-02-18 Thread Bill Johnson 
Dana, glad to help.  I was a field tester and remember the internals to some 
degree.   I loved that little radio which I lived through hardware and software 
updates.  I now use a KX2.

Thanks Bill; the KX1 has the antenna tuner and 30m.  The 30m option is soldered 
in, but I did reseat the tuner just now and that may have well fixed it.  I 
appreciate the suggestion!

Subject: [Elecraft] KX1 Receive Audio

I have a KX1 that I hadn't used in awhile but I got it out recently.  Works
fine - made a couple of contacts with it - but the audio has some
"artifacts" at times.  Usually they are very quiet, and they  go away when
I hold the radio in my hand.  Some sort of odd grounding issue of some
sort?  I hear the artifacts even without an antenna.  It comes across as
clicking, almost always very quiet - you can hear it best if you turn down
the RF gain.

At any rate, the radio is quite usable but I thought I'd see if anyone else
has this issue.

[Elecraft] [KX3] VOX in FSK D/PSK D data modes?

2021-02-18 Thread Julia Tuttle 
It'd be super cool if the VOX function worked in FSK D and PSK D modes just
like it does in CW -- keeps you from sending if you bump the paddle
accidentally.

Elecraft folks, is that feasible?

Re: [Elecraft] Big Knob Fail

2021-02-18 Thread Bill Steffey NY9H 
a VERY BIG no-no  is to ship an ICOM 7800 without removing the very nice 
weighted main VFO knob.


IT IS A WELL KNOWN DISASTER TO HAPPEN.  It does not tear up the 
bearing  IT BENDS THE SHAFT    OMG.


 And since the 7800 weighs 80 LBS in the double box, it costs over 100$ 
to ship one way & 200 for insurance.


Never had THAT problem, just twice DSP board failure due to a 5V    
"""surge"" even though the rig on was on a true sine wave 
Uninterruptible EATON 2500VA supply. The first time my HRIA insurance 
paid  almost $1000 for the repair. The second time ICOM management 
agreed maybe the ""problem" was never fixed the first time.



Elecraft k3 WEIGHS nothing...SHIPS EASILY. And does not exhibit issues.
