[Elecraft] Any KPA1500 received that were ordered after, 1st day
Maybe some are worried the Sunspots will return before the KPA1500 arrives at their door..?? Makes me somewhat relieved I have not ordered a KPA1500 yet (insert drool here !). Had I placed an order fronting the Elecraft team MY $6,000.00; I would be right up there with the leaders of the " whining and crying club" wanting to know WHEN WHEN WHEN Christmas is only 266 days and a wake up (+ or - 2dB, as Lenkurt used to say in the alignment manual for their point to point microwave communications equipment; back in the 1970s or E=mc2 + or - 2dB had Einstein been a Lenkurt Engineer). 73, Jim AC0E -- James Douglass AC0E PO Box 506 Garden City, Kansas 67846 620.272.7620 cell/text __ 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

Ed, I had 70F2 Ghz stuff & later 79F2 2Ghz I worked for a natural gas pipeline company back in the day. Took care of 7 of 27 hops along a 600 mile route from Red Desert in WY to Hesston, Kansas where it joined our mainline.

[Elecraft] FD 2018 K3 - MK-II
Used a K3/100 and microham MK-II this past weekend at our FD site. Sunday morning the MK-II got some RFI into it and hung-up for about a minute until I reset the logging software and cycled the MK-II. The setup worked without flaw for the entire weekend otherwise. Did anyone else eat way too much food this weekend as part of Field Day? 73 - Jim AC0E James Douglass, AC0E h...@odsgc.net 620-272-7620 cell/text __ 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

Mr. Coleman is indeed a SK. I exchanged several emails with Bill with regard to K3_EZ. He told me he had severe health issues the past several years and was unable to continue his involvement developing K3_EZ. Bill also told me the source code was lost. I just checked his QRZ.com page ad it still up and noted with Bill SK in August of 2017.. 73, Jim AC0E On October 1, 2018 15:03:40 elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: Send Elecraft mailing list submissions to elecraft@mailman.qth.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net You can reach the person managing the list at elecraft-ow...@mailman.qth.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Elecraft digest..."

While updating the firmware, I accidentally hit either a key on the computer keyboard or one of the mouse buttons. The K3 Utility window "grayed out" and the K3 is stuck in MCU Load, no backlight, TX LED flashing. Setup: Astron 50A PSU; K3 # 2768 with new KIO3B board; direct USB connection to Lenovo Thinkpad running WIN7 Home Premium; K3 Util v 1.16.7.25. Computer and K3 Utility both recognize the COM port; latest FTDI drivers installed. Yes, I know there is supposed to be a cure for this, but it didn't work. I tried: 1. Restarting both the computer and the K3 a few times. 2. Remove & reconnect power supply from K3, hold POWER button to force it into bootloader mode. (which it is already in) 3. Factory reset (power on while holding SHIFT/LO button). Never got the EE INIT message. 4. Uninstall and re-install K3 Utility and try 1-3 again. 5. Uninstall and re-install front panel assembly; try 1-3 again. K3 Utility is still trying to connect and the TX LED is still flashing. Any ideas before I call tech support on Monday?

It's a complete package with options for scheduled full backup, incremental backups, continuous backup, disk image, etc. Also can be used to clone disks. Acronis is a very popular backup package for Windows. I used to use it but had several mishaps, including not being able to read old backups. Haven't tried it in a long time. I have EaseUS setup to do a full backup on each disk in my system on the first day of the month, and incremental backups on each disk once a day. The backups are written to a hard drive in a USB dock. I have a set of five of these disks and rotate to the next drive after the last incremental backup of the month. Whenever I visit my safe deposit box, I put one of the disks in the box and retrieve the one that I put in the box last time. That way, I have an offsite backup in case of disaster. It might be a little old, but better than nothing. Further, I have Windows 10 on and SSD and all of my critical data on a separate
[Elecraft] Why I am an Elecraft fan
This posting from Wayne, N6KR, pretty much explains why I've been an Elecraft guy since August 2011 when I signed up for a factory built 100W K3 with a few options and haven't regretted it a day since. A first rate product, first rate support and first rate company. I pasted a teaser for those who may have not waded through all the responses.

Re: [Elecraft] K3-EZ
I have sent Mr. COLEMAN, N2BC, several emails over the past couple of years with regard to K3-EZ. To which I received no responses. His QRZ page is still up.

Not only that, but the two OWNERS of the company read this list every day, and chime in with advice when needed. I've seen one of them, N6KR, who's the principal design engineer, work one on one with DX trips to solve issues, and I've had more than a few one on one engineering conversations with him at hamfests and online. Heck -- we can't even correspond with low level flunkies at the JA companies (or Ten Tec), let alone the guys who own the place! And both owners are active hams, I've worked both of them on the air. How about this for support? There will be a bunch of K3s in the international WRTC competition in New England next weekend, and Elecraft is sending at least one of their best engineers (who was a competitor at WRTC in Russia 4 years ago) to support those radios. I know because he's my neighbor, K6XX. I've been an Elecraft owner since 2004, and bought two K3s in 2008. I'm very pleased with their support. EVERY radio has issues -- with Elecraft, there are much fewer of them, and you can get them fixed! 73, Jim K9YC __ 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
