[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, It was sunny and warm this week. I spent four days with saws improving my 2.4 GHz signal path. When we reset the dish earlier this year the alder did not have leaves. They grew to full size blocking the path. Now they are felled, limbed, and stacked; ready for the wood stove by winter. My work opened space for an inverted V, or doublet, and more sun. The sun tossed a few weak CMEs at us and is still spawning active sunspot groups. Oddly enough quiet conditions are predicted for this weekend. However, sunspot 3373 could send an X-class flare. May you live in interesting times :) I have my trusty transceiver with working antennas to test conditions. 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 - Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 channel hopping anomaly[1]
Hi Fred ... I don't think using the "channel hopping" procedure as described on page 40 will accomplish what you are wanting to do because it says (in bold type), "Memories to be used for channel hopping must be within the same band ..." Furthermore, tapping M»V twice always puts the Memory content into VFO-A with the main tuning dial incrementing the frequency as you described, which is normal. However, you CAN do what you are wanting to do by simply putting each KPH frequency in its own Memory bin. Then, to recall the KPH frequencies (assuming you are in VFO-A), tap M»V just once which puts you into the 00-99 Memory slots and allows the main tuning dial to cycle through (same as "channel hopping") the various programmed frequencies. Like you I have all the KPH marine frequencies in Memory. During last week's Night of Nights I merely cycled through the various KPH Memory slots until I could determine which frequency had the best propagation to my location. At that point you have a choice. You can either stay in Memory mode (the bin number will flash) or you can hit M»V a second time and transfer the frequency into VFO-A. Either will work. If you do the latter, I'd recommend locking the main tuning dial. Good luck with Enigma! Too complicated for my tired old brain. 73, Kent K9ZTV On 7/22/2023 2:00 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: I have a variety of frequencies, both in and outside the ham bands [e.g. KPH freqs] set up in my K3.
