[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevin]

Good Evening,

   When Douglas Fir are thinner than about twelve inches in diameter 
they are shaded silver.  As they grow that color is broken by cracks of 
brown.  My trees were thinned a few years ago but only this season have 
I seen a change in their growth.  On my weekly hike almost every fir 
tree I saw had "cracked" by some degree.  Many of these trees are 50 
years old and less than a foot in diameter.  They will make excellent 
power poles one day; a quite dense interior surrounded by larger growth 
rings, plus they have no branches for ninety feet.


   The sun is active.  After a string of CMEs we now have a crack in 
earth's magnetic.  If it's not one thing ...  This allows more ions into 
the system.  I expect QSB will be moderate to intense with a variety of 
speeds.  Summer storms with space noise will bring crackle and hiss.  
Sounds like a record you left in the sun and need a nickel on the tone 
arm to play, only the lyrics are in CW.  Who sold those CW records in 
the early 60s?  Ameco?  I learned a few letters from them while others 
were studying.



Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
 7047 kHz at z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)


73,
  Kevin.  KD5ONS

Re: [Elecraft] K3 INTERFACE WITH LDG Z100A

Again, that is why he should contact LDG.  They know (or should know)
their product line and what transceivers they support.

I looked up the Owner's Manual for the Z100A and it does not have
a "Molex" connector on the tuner.  The radio interface cable is a
miniDIN6.  The manual also does not list a cable for K3 (or any
Elecraft transceiver) - only the "IC106" cable for connecting power.

If LDG sell a cable they say will interface their tuner to a K3
they should be able to explain how to connect it and how to use
their product with the K3.  Neither Elecraft nor Elecraft users
are likely to know that information as Elecraft have their own
tuner solutions - the internal KAT3 and the external KAT500.

For years I supported third party product(s) with dozen of different
transceivers - Elecraft, Icom, Kenwood, Ten-Tec, Yaesu.  The product
was designed to be used with the transceivers when the transceiver
was operated exactly as the transceiver maker documented it their
own Operating/Instruction Manual.  The optional interconnection
cable had the appropriate connectors for the transceiver and each
connector was labeled to match the transceiver manufacturer's own
labels.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 vs. K4D shipping

[G4GNX]

How utterly childish.

There is no “fight”. We have different opinions, that’s what discussion is all 
about. Something you usually learn just after leaving the school playground. 🙂
