[Elecraft] K3 Assembly / Static Dissipation
Hi All, Getting ready to take delivery of my K3/100 kit on Tuesday afternoon and expect to start assembly after I stop slobbering all over the cool box of stuff! I've got a nice anti-static mat and attached wrist connector that I got from Fry's just for this project. That was the good news. The bad news is that I'm unsure where to hook the alligator-terminated ground wire. Obviously, if I was going to do the assembly out in the garage I'd connect it to a copper water or ground pipe. But, I'll probably be doing it here in the corner of my microscopic bedroom. Would an aluminum window frame be of sufficient size / mass to dissipate any static buildup by connecting said ground wire? I've looked around the room and don't see a lot of metal objects to connect to. I did have several long screws put in my leg from a skiing accident last year, but that probably doesn't count!!! :-) Any suggestions? Tnx 73, Jim / W6JHB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Assembly-Static-Dissipation-tp5123895p5123895.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] K3 Order Delays?
Although the online page continues to indicate that K3 kit versions are being shipped in 3-5 days, I placed an order on Monday night and after querying the order got a reply that there are delays and shipping would not happen for 5-7 days. Problems, or just overloaded as a post-Dayton ordering frenzy? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Order-Delays-tp5105426p5105426.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] K3 / Data Remote Questions
Planning on getting a K3 around the end of the month. Recently sold an Icom '756 Pro that I used with my MacBook Air to run MacLogger DX through a Black Cat CI-V. Also ran CocoaModem through a Tigertronics SignalLink USB. Selling the CI-V on eBay right now. My question is, what'll I need to use MacLoggerDX and CocoaModem with the K3? I figure I'll need to replace the Icom cable on the SL-USB for CocoaModem, right? What about a connection for MacLoggerDX? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I'd like to get whatever necessary before I get the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] First impressions of my Elecraft K3.
David, Glad you are enjoying that K3 - sounds like it worked very well for you in that less-than-great operating environment!! I am about three weeks away from placing my order for a K3 and can hardly wait to get my hands on one. 73, Jim / W6JHB -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/First-impressions-of-my-Elecraft-K3-tp5059591p5060741.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] K2 S/N 1134 For Sale
Hate to do it but I'm going to put my K2 up for sale. Want to get a new K3; sold off an IC-756 Pro III, Icom mic and a KDSP2 board (from my K2), but still come up several hundred $$ short in the cash register. XYL insists no out of pocket for the K3 purchase. I guess I can get a K1 or KX1 sometime in the future if I need a small, portable field radio. Anyway, it is serial number 1134 and has the KAT2 internal 20w antenna tuner and the KSB2 SSB module. All functions work great. It has no dents or scratches. KSB2 was built and installed by Alan, W3DVX. The K2 itself was brought up to specs and aligned by Alan just recently. Will let it go for $775, shipped at my expense to any US address. No shipping outside USA - sorry. If no firm offer by 5:30pm tomorrow (5/12/2010), it's going up on eBay. Photos available if interested - email me.

Re: [Elecraft] F/S: KDSP2 Assembled Board Manual
The 1/2 hex spacer and 1/4 4-440 mounting screw WILL be included in the package. I've ordered the two jacks and expect them to be here Friday or Saturday. While they might not be needed by all K2 owners, I'd hate for someone to buy the KDSP2 board and then find out there are no jacks on the K2's control board to mount it to! Wouldn't make for a happy customer. And besides, it only cost me a couple bucks. That being said, the Buy It Now option for the KDSP2 has gone away, as someone has placed a bid. I'm hoping this person is a valid buyer, as he has a zero feedback score and is located in Romania. If it is someone from this list, I'd like to hear from him/her, just to make me feel a little more comfortable...! -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/F-S-KDSP2-Assembled-Board-Manual-tp5006977p5009958.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] F/S: KDSP2 Assembled Board Manual
Hi Alan - Yep, I've had several email exchanges with the bidder, YO3AIZ - all is fine with his bidding. He's got what he believes is the only K2 in Romania!!! Tnx about the pix.

Re: [Elecraft] F/S: KDSP2 Assembled Board Manual
Gary - thanks for bringing this to my attention - I'd have never thought about it!! I may have all three components already - need to check the parts bag in the morning. Otherwise I'll get those jacks ordered ASAP and be sure they are included in the KDSP2 package.
