[Elecraft] HOW TO REPLY TO SPECIFIC POST ON THE REFLECTOR?
GOOD MORNING GARY: NORMALLY, I'D SEND MY COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO THE REFLECTOR WRITER BUT YOUR EMAIL SUGGESTS PROPER ETIQUETTE IS TO REPLY TO THE ENTIRE GROUP (THIS I DID NOT KNOW - WILL ALWAYS DO THIS IN THE FUTURE). WHERE DOES ONE OBTAIN COPY OF THE RULES STATING WHAT IS DEAD WRONG AND IMPOLITE FORMATTING TO USE ON THIS REFLECTOR? COMMON SENSE WOULD INDICATE PROFANITY SHOULDN'T BE USED. BEING DISRESPTECTFUL TO OTHERS WOULDN'T BE PROPER. PUBLIC LECTURING, ISN'T COOL EITHER, BUT THIS PROBABLY ISN'T IN THE RULE BOOK. BY THE WAY, I READ (THE SUBJECT MATTER, PRIMARILY) THIS REFLECTOR ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS OR SO; GUESS THE RULES WERE NOT NOTED. IF A QUESTION NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED, I'LL SEARCH THE INTERNET FIRST AND IF A RESPONSE CAN'T BE LOCATED, I'LL CALL ELECRAFT DIRECTILY FOR ADVICE. I'M NOT EMAIL SAVY - WHEN WORKING HAD SECRETARY WHO HANDLED ALL MY MAIL. RETIRED (OFFSHOFRE) MANUFACTUING PLANT MANAGER 15-YEARS AGO AT THE AGE OF 62. BEEN STRUGGLING WITH EMAIL SINCE RETIRING - MISS MY SCRIBE!

Reply All means exactly what it says. I hope the list moderator will keep it just the way it is. eoaThis is dead wrong and impolite. The originator asked THE GROUP, and the reply need to go to the group. There is no reason to assume that the originator is the only person who wants to hear the answer. Otherwise, the list would operate in such a way that when you subscribe, you receive a listing of those who are also subscribed. You pick a call who you think might know the answer to your question and send them a personal note and he replies back to you. Pretty stupid isn't it. Even if you think it is a dumb question that you have to ask, I guarantee you that there is someone like you who also doesn't know the answer and didn't post the question but is anxiously waiting for someone to answer it so he will know too. This list owner happens to want it this way (apparently), so we have to put up with it. Too many impolitic e-mails intended for a single individual have received bulk distribution via reflectors set up so that Reply sends it to the group. That's part of the group environment and public sharing of information. Do you read the paper to see one item only? No, you read the paper to see what is new and what is interesting. Ever pick up the paper and see something that surprised you and you were glad you saw it? That's what groups/lists are for. You cheat everyone else out of the answer and also future searchers for information are deprived of having the answers to their questions by not allowing the answers to be public. /eoa Gary -- __ 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

[Elecraft] Remote operation of the K3 questions
Twice I've written to K3 Support with no response - hence my assumption, 'my application can't be done'. Also, my questions are most likely outside the charter of K3 Support and no response was provided. Reply directly to me, please doesn't clutter the Elecraft Digest with needless chatter. (dickdiddams at earthlink.net) The questions asked K3 Support: Please recommend articles (manufacturers of hardware performing this application) connecting the K3, KPA500, P3 and KAT500 via cable over a distance of 200- to 250-ft? My operation is 95% CW, 4% PSK and 1% SSB. Recommend Application Note(s) available for operating a remote station operation via cable Usage of a UHF (1296 MHz as example) link is acceptable - but request direction where to locate articles. Which is better hardware to use for this application, the K3/0, or a 2nd regular K3 operating in 'terminal mode'? The reason for operating remote, is because the antenna will be located about 200-ft from the house. The remote station is in an insulated climate controlled room (inside a barn). The remote operating location has 100-amp 240-volt service. As a side note, (from your experience), is it simpler for one to use the Internet for this application - - - concern when using the Internet is able to have full CW break-in. My normal operating speed is about 30 WPM and up to 40 WPM. Not sure if there is a limitation on CW speed when operating remote. If there is a limitation, what is the maximum CW speed one can use when operating remote? My preference is to run a cable (or an UHF link) and not use the Internet for the remote operation. If the recommendation is a K3/0 as the preferred hardware to use for remote operation, are there used Remote Internet System readily available and what is a reasonable selling price? 70%, 60%, etc. of the original selling price? When you reply directly to me, and if we haven't had previous communications, your email will automatically be placed in a Junk Folder until it is retrieved and your address has been added to my Address Book. Approximately once each day, the Junk Folder will be viewed and your address will be added to the Address Book. Regards, Dick - W7QHE dickdiddams at earthlink.net PS - Searching the Internet did not provide answers to my above questions - possibly, the questions were not phrased properly! __ 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
[Elecraft] KPA500 PWR Display
Don't change anything - leave it alone. Dick - W7QHE Owner KX1, K2, K3, KPA500, KAT500, etc. = Message: 5 Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 10:00:40 -0800 From: Jack Brindle jackbrin...@me.com To: ac...@aol.com Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 PWR Display Message-ID: 4938341a-85a6-4cc2-9916-e8cb8d4c4...@me.com Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Tapping a button on the KPA500 causes the parameter associated with that button to be displayed. Try tapping the HV button, you will see the voltage displayed on the LCD. Tap HV again and you get the previous parameter displayed. Thus tapping a band button causes the band to be displayed. To illustrate why this is important, try the following: tap the HV button. The HV will be displayed. Next tap the CURRENT button. The LCD will change to current. Now tap the Current button again. The LCD will change to HV, not to the band. At this point the only way to get to the band is to tap a band button. Thus this is actually the correct behavior. How would you have it behave differently? In other words, what would you change to get the behavior you would like? Note that when changing the band from the transceiver the LCD will momentarily display the new band, then will go back to whatever parameter you have selected.
