Re: [Elecraft] Of words and such
Andy, Wayne was right, I meant that Eric had gone way beyond what was expected, in a good way. My understanding of the phrase was it meant beyond bad things and into the good. Sorry if you saw it otherwise. Guess I better watch out for the wordsmiths. 73, Jim K4ZMV On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 1:39 PM Andy McMullin via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > Beyond the pale - outside the safe area protected by the British in > Ireland.

[Elecraft] K-Line For Sale Rescinded
Problem with the P3 resolved with the help of Eric. When an owner of the company calls to assist, that is beyond the pale. I don't recall anyone ever having a corporate officer from Kenwood, Yaesu, or Icom call to assist in a problem resolution. So, I am withdrawing my for sale offer for my K-Line. This time I will remember to include my name and call sign. Thanks for reading. 73, Jim K4ZMV __ 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] P3 Ref Lvl Problems
When I set the noise level with Ref Lvl to the bottom of the spectrum display, It will over time continue to move downward until the noise level is off the spectrum display. If I cycle the P3, the noise level is well above the bottom of the display and the waterfall shows the noise which comes with Ref Lvl being set too high. Is this how the P3 works? I am constantly having to adjust Ref Lvl. This is true for all bands. 73's Jim Brassell K4ZMV __ 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] I love toroids
I, also, am very right handed. I wound the toroids without much thought about the 'right way'. My K2 #4901 is running perfectly and checked out at each alignment stage. Maybe I wound them 'correctly', but I don't really think whether the lead comes over the top of the core or from under it makes much difference. The difference would occur if you had more or less turns going through the core. I've tried reading the inductance of a toroid with a wire just sitting on top or under the core and as you may have guessed, the inductance is lower than I can measure with a darn good DMM. My 2 cents. 73 Jim, K4ZMV - Original Message - From: "Jim W7RY" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] I love toroids I disagree with the left hand right hand issue. I'm very right handed and wound the toroids of my 1st K2 back words. However, when winding the set for my current K2, I had to make a concise effort to wind them correctly and it was awkward to do so. BTW, I travel frequently for work so I brought all of the toroids and wire on my recent trip. I sat at the desk in the hotel room and wound them all. I did not strip and tin the leads... To much smoke. I was afraid of setting off the smoke detectors. Hey Elecraft! Why not put a separate section into the manual that describes what core, what L or T number and the number of turns on each core. That way, one can "pre-wind" all of the toroidal coils at the same time and not have to stop and wind? Just my 2cents worth. 73 Jim W7RY K2 4914. (Heading down the finish line) PS my K2 is now operational as a receiver on 40 meters. Works great!

But then, my memory serves me less and less these days. --- That's correct. There are no partial turns on a toroid. As a leftie I had to overcome the same "sense" issue. Then came the T1! One toroid in the T1 has only three turns, close spaced, so they end up using only a small part of the core. The turns occupy the area of the core normally left open on a toroid. As a result, the "sense" of the winding is reversed! You have to wind that one "backwards" to make the leads lie up with the pads on the board. Oh, well, as Emerson wrote, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall." ... Or, I might add, concern himself with why the toroid leads don't match the holes in the PCB.

[Elecraft] Preamp, Attenuator on K2 #4901
Hello, All. I just finished K2 #4901 and it works great. The only thing I have a question on is the preamp setting. When the annunciator is on over the preamp, it seems as though background noise goes down and the signal strength is reduced. In fact, there seems to be little difference between the preamp and att settings. I've been through the schematic and carefully reviewed the parts installed for the preamp and I can't see anything wrong. Has anyone experienced this problem, if it is one? 73 and thanks.

[Elecraft] K2 CW Reception
I am building K2 #4901 and have just completed Assembly Phase II. Everything checked out fine. I put the K2 on an antenna and listened to some 40 meter CW. I observed that when the frequency changed on stronger signals, the CW note became chirpy, as if there were two signals. I set the tuning rate to 10 Hz and as the frequency changes at that rate it is really noticeable. It sounds much like my Orion when I have the tuning rate set to 100 Hz or higher. I have not seen anything on the reflector that addresses this problem. Has anyone else experienced this? 73, Jim, K4ZMV ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
