Re: [Elecraft] K3 Powerpole Replacement

Charlie,

No need to spend a lot.  These are as close to bulletproof connections as
you get and you can get compatible jaws or a ton of connectors. Comes with
jaws for 15/30/45 amp APPs.

Any suggestion for a good price on a good crimper and where to buy it?.
Hint: I am NOT going to spend more on the crimper than the radio is worth
to 
use these things.

Also, do you need a different crimper for different size APP's?

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8

2013-09-13 Thread Larry Ewan
I was recently able to check in with my KX-3 for the first time in a year.
 All it took was driving from Florida to Montana with my Radio ;-)  Makes
the hobby an endurance sport!

How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for
those of us who have KX3s running barefoot? Only 2 of the 34 checkins on
Sunday were KX3s.

Frustrated and disappointed Š but I keep trying Š

Re: [Elecraft] OT: 2m beam orientation

2013-06-21 Thread Larry Ewan
I just made a round-trip from Florida to Montana in the past two weeks,
scanning the 2M and 70CM simplex channels and repeaters along the way.  In
6 days on the road I heard exactly one conversation.  And it was on
146.520 between two 18 wheeler hams on I-90 in South Dakota.

Here in the plains the closest thing to a mountain top is a gopher mound.

Seriously though, repeater activity is almost dead compared to what it
once was.
