[Elecraft] K2 L5 (RF Board)
I am completing the build of K2 Serial No. 6397. L5 calls for a 33 uH solenoidal inductor (ORG-ORG-BLK). The only inductors I have remaining unused and that appear not to be required are an 11 uH and a 1.5 mH inductor. I have reviewed my completed work and I don't see that I installed the 33 uH inductor anywhere else in the wrong location. My question: Could I use the 11 uH or 1.5 mH inductor in place of the specified 33 uH inductor for L5? Or is it important to source the exact specified value for L5?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 L5 (RF Board)
I see from history that this question has been asked in past. The answer is to use the supplied "BRN-BRN-BLK" inductor for L5 since it is the correct one. So I will!

[Elecraft] K4D #150
I tried to post this to groups.II but realized that I Ahmed up with my Arrl alias. I’ve had this one for two weeks and learn something new every day. Having had a K3 for 10 years and a K3S for over two years (Along with K2s, K1s and all the “Xs”) a lot is intuitive but I still have to dig to figure out some of the controls. Fred Caty’s book helps me know where or what to look for. The audio and noise control are fantastic. The auto-tune for CW is really neat! I found the EQ better than my K3S and every audio report has been superlative. Thank you Wayne and Eric, this one is also a keeper! 73 Thaire.

Re: [Elecraft] K4D #150
Our pleasure, Thaire. Thanks for the report. Feel free to email me directly if you have unanswered questions about K4 operation. I'm continuously improving the built-in operating manual. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Jun 23, 2021, at 10:14 AM, Thaire Bryant wrote: > > I tried to post this to groups.II but realized that I Ahmed up with my Arrl > alias. > > I’ve had this one for two weeks and learn something new every day.

Re: [Elecraft] K4D #150
Your comments about the EQ are interesting to me. I continue to use a W2IHY audio stack into my K3, because while the 8 band EQ works well in the K3, the other features the EQPlus brings to the table are hard to beat. As I wait for delivery of my K4, one of my ponderings is if I will finally be able to eliminate the external audio stack. Waiting patiently... :) On Wed, Jun 23, 2021 at 10:14 AM Thaire Bryant wrote: > I tried to post this to groups.II but realized that I Ahmed up with my > Arrl alias. > > I’ve had this one for two weeks and learn something new every day.

[Elecraft] Issue with Windows PCs when showing K4 LINE OUT level
Windows Sound Control Panel (also known as mmsys.cpl) apparently does not accurately show input level from the K4's USB LINE OUT sound card interface. Meter deflection will be very low even when there's plenty of signal coming from the radio. However, correct levels *are* shown by programs such as WSJT, MMTTY, etc. This information will appear in the next editions of the K4 manuals. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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] Pin 1 and Grounding Post on the K3s
I have been following the Pin 1 grounding discussions with interest. I have one of the last Elecraft K3s Transceivers built at the factory and love using it. I wonder if the grounding post on the back of the K3s attaches directly to the case or runs to the motherboard ground? I currently have the grounding post attached to an RF grounding strap running as a single point ground between all my devices to keep from voltage differences. Should I be concerned? 73 to all, Peder, W7RPK __ 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
