Re: [Elecraft] Anderson Connector
I believe Don was saying that it takes about 10lbs of force to properly seat the APP contact into the housing. It takes more force to seat the contact in the housing than to pull the mated contact apart. If it didn't work like that the connector would fall apart when you disconnect it. 73, Bob Ac2FA Sent from my iPad (sig stolen from QO) __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] Has the KX3 rescued Ham radio?
Based on the number if times "I" appears in the text of the OP's post I believe it saved ham radio for him. That's a good thing - I'm happy for him. 73, Bob AC2FA Sent from my iPhone On Jun 9, 2013, at 14:28, David Gilbert wrote: > > By all accounts the KX3 is a terrific radio (I own only a K1 and a K3), but > claiming that it will "save ham radio" is a pretty unwarranted stretch. > Revitalizing your particular interest is not at all the same as capturing the > interest of someone young enough to significantly outlive us.

Re: [Elecraft] Chinese Broadcast on 18 .180.mhz
Sure sounded Chinese to me. The frequency comes up as a station in China broadcasting in Cantonese if I read it correctly. 73, Bob - AC2FA Sent from my iPad (sig stolen from QO) On Apr 20, 2013, at 12:40, Tom H Childers wrote: > How did you determine it is a Chinese station? > 73, > Tom > Amateur Radio Operator N5GE > ARRL Lifetime Member > QCWA Lifetime Member > > On Sat, 20 Apr 2013 09:00:28 -0400, Bob-AC2FA > wrote: > >> Same here in WNY. >> >> 73, >> Bob - AC2FA >> >> >> ?

Re: [Elecraft] Kenwood Mc-60 mic with K2
I don't believe it was this thread the mod asked closed. The thread the mod asked closed was the Heil mic thread. This thread started a bit later. Steve W1SFR- thanks for asking the question. I was offered the same mic for my K2. 73, Bob AC2FA Sent from my iPhone On Mar 15, 2013, at 10:23, riese-k3...@juno.com wrote: > I thought the list admin requested ending this string ?? > > Bob K3DJC > On Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:25:57 -0400 Stephen Roberts > writes: >> There is no "A" anywhere indicated on the microphone or base.
