[Elecraft] KXPA100 with Other Radios
I am a happy KX3, KXPA100 owner. I had the opportunity to obtain a Flex-1500 radio. I want to use the Flex-1500 with the KXPA100, since the Flex is a qrp radio. My question: Do I have to have a cable running into the KXPA's PTT plug or can the KXPA100 be keyed up by the Flex-1500 via just coax connections? I am terrible making cables and soldering, which is why I am loath to attempt to make a cable. And no one seems to sell such a cable. The Flex-1500 has a nine pin female DIN, While the KXPA100 has an RCA PTT.

[Elecraft] K3s 2M Reception
Are there any rankings or detail info on how good (or bad) the K3s 2 meter module is in regards to being able to receive 2M SSB? It's time for me to buy a 2m SSB radio. And I wonder if the 2M module receives as well as HF on the K3s. Am considering getting a K3s with 2M and being that's it's not cheap, want to make sure it's worth it.

[Elecraft] Best Place to Sell Equipment?
I am looking to sell some of my Yaesu Radios in order to purchase a K3s. What are good reliable places to sell my radios? (FT-950 and FT-857D). I am trying to avoid ebay. I live in New York City, Manhattan.

[Elecraft] KXPA100 on battery.
I just purchased and put together a KXPA100 Amp. I want to use it at home with my power supply (same one Elecraft currently sells). But I also want to use the amp with my KX3 out of doors in a portable situation. I tried my KXPA100 with my 12v 22ah battery and I received a "LO SPPLY" message on my KX3 along with the bottom right reading "PA FLT". Go in touch with Elecraft and my battery is not up to the task of giving my KXPA100 12-15amps. I will recharge my battery and try again. Question: Will a voltage regulator like the N8XJK Super Boost regulator work and or work well with my KXPA100? Does anyone use their KXPA100 portable with a battery?

[Elecraft] New Product Idea - 2 Meter
I humbly submit the following product idea to Elecraft. A two meter all mode radio, encased in the current KX3 body. All the components of this radio are already being made by Elecraft, except for a needed ATU. Suggested price $500. I'd also recommend making it at least 25-50 watts output. If 70cm can be added, so much the better.

[Elecraft] Napple Updates?
This 'reflector' or listserve is ok, but not ideal for reading. I prefer a forum style for reading. So I love Elecraft-Napple. But the last posting on napple.com was from late 2012, almost three years ago. Is it possible to keep the KX3 postings up to date so that I can use it instead of this reflector?

[Elecraft] Product Idea for Elecraft
Elecraft makes the most excellent antenna tuners. Of all the antenna tuners I own (MFJ, LDG), the tuner in my KX3 is the best!! My KX3 tuner will tune anything in one or two seconds. My other tuners take anywhere from 15-30 seconds to tune the same antennas. So here is my suggestion to Elecraft - Make a standalone 100 watt antenna tuner!! I think it would sell well. Not only for our Elecraft Radios, but mostly for all those poor unfortunate souls, who don't have Elecraft radios.

[Elecraft] KX3 Operating Temperatures
I wish to operate my KX3 in a portable manner this coming winter. I wish to know what is the operating temperature ranges of the KX3. I cover my KX3 when out in the summer sun so that it does not get hot. But I wonder what is the lowest temperature I can safely operate my KX3 this winter? I live in New York City and temperatures can go as low as zero degrees Fahrenheit.

[Elecraft] K3's Selling Yet?
Now that people are getting their new K3s' I was wondering when will the K3 community begin to sell their K3? I thought I'd see the selling begin by now. I might want to get one of those K3.
