[Elecraft] FS: KXB3080 add-on option for the KX1
I have a KXB3080 add-on option for the KX1 that I don't plan on installing. Never installed. This option adds 80 meters and 30 meters plus general receive up to 16 MHz (if I read it correctly) and scanning. Asking $65 INCLUDING USPS Priority Mail shipping in the US. Normal price is $80 plus shipping. Payment can be check, MO, PayPal. (PayPal please add $2 for their stupid fees.) Contact me before sending any money though. (PayPal address is not this address.)

[Elecraft] Suggested prices?
Hi, gang, We are in the process of downsizing for a future (not scheduled). Can anyone give me suggestions for prices on the below rigs if I decide to sell them instead of moving them? I am the original owner and builder of all three rigs. I am very careful in building but I have also had these rigs checked by someone with a LOT more experience than me. 1) 2-band K1 with: Internal battery Internal antenna tuner stand. 2) 2-band KX1 with: unbuilt internal antenna tuner. 3) K2 with: SSB module Internal battery Unbuilt antenna tuner. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft grey in a rattle can?
Many years ago, I had a piece of Heathkit gear that needed a touch up. I took one of the side panels to Home Depot. They scanned the panel and made a custom mix that matched perfectly (except the finish). Maybe taking an Elecraft panel to them would give you the color you need.

[Elecraft] Special Events station K60
Special events station K60/CIA is currently operating from the CIA as a special events station. Well, I don't know if it is RIGHT now but it is up and running and will be there for several weeks, I think. Tomorrow marks the 60 anniversary of the creation of the CIA. This amateur station is the first amateur station to be operated actually from the CIA grounds. If I remember correctly, it is operating CW only, 80/40/20/10 and in the bottom 35 Mhz (?) in the band. There is (I think) a special commemorative QSL card to be issued. (I'm sorry I can't be more specific or concrete. I'm typing this from memory.)

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Hexkey waiting on bench, due to warning
Is that, perhaps, something called "Rug Gripper"? You can get it in small rolls in most hardware type stores. Initially used to put under throw rugs on wooden floors. But great for this as well. Can be cut to size. Michael N4NMR Ashburn, VA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I got a small swatch of a rubberized waffle like padding - you can see through the mesh like a screen - and it stops the 'scoot' really great. I've had it so long that I can't remember where it came from, and I'm not even sure it was intended for use with a key. The one I have is blue, quite thin, and very soft. If anyone knows where it comes from or it's original intended use, I think it would be a boon to all cw ops. I used a bencher before my hexkey and before that it was a homebrew. The tendency has been to make the key heavier to reduce the scoot from an intense contester or pileup op whose a little excited. But that doesn't stop it unless the feet are soft and a little 'sticky' on the surface. soft rubber legs stick but flex and the hard rubber doesn't flex but it scoots - what a dilemma! That pad I found is the best of both worlds - it even works if the feet are hard plastic buttons. For the hexkey - get the pad and some nylon feet - no jiggle and no scoot.

[Elecraft] SSB kit Rev D. vs Rev E.
Hi, folks, Well, I've let my SSB kit for my K2 sit long enough. However, I had to look all over for it and when I found it, I couldn't find the instructions. Went to the Elecraft website to download and found only Rev E. instructions. Couple of questions: 1) does anyone have the Rev D. version online? (It's not in Elecrafts archive that I could find.) 2) Is there that much of a difference? (I might know more today when I try to inventory based on the old kit but the new manual.) 3) Does anyone know, off hand, what the differences were? 4) Should I get the parts to bring this kit to Rev E. (new kit is $99 but don't know if they sell an upgrade kit - sort of depends on the differences.) TIA Michael Bower N4NMR -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[Elecraft] FS: VIS Study Cards - Extra Class
I have for sale: VIS Study Cards for Extra Class. This is a set of study cards for preparing for the Extra Class Element 4 exam. Set consists of 650+ index sized cards (on paper stock) for handy studying wherever you might be. They are broken into 9 sections: (Numbers in parenthis "m of n" means you must pass m questions and there are n questions in that pool (and that many cards) Commission's Rules (7 of 99) Operating Procedures (4 of 46) Radio Wave Propagation (3 of 34) Amateur Radio Practice (5 of 68) Electrical Principles (9 of 111) Circuit Components (5 of 72) Practical Circuites (7 of 95) Signals and Emissions (5 of 69) Antennas and Feed Lines (5 of 71) This particular set is (I think) one revision back. The questions are based on the pool as of 2/01/2000. Yes, they are out of date but not so far that you couldn't probably pass. And they make a great aid to studying. I used to carry a handful wherever I went. (No, I'm not an Extra so you don't have to look. Other priorities took precedence - work, family) Asking $15 including shipping CONUS. If you want USPS Priority mail, add $2.50. Acceptable payments are via paypal (preferred) to my e-mail address, check, MO. Questions?

[Elecraft] Idea on improving CW speed
In thinking about the various methods of improving CW reading, the following occurred to me. Has anybody done this? In the Koch method (I think that's the right one), you learn a few letters and then work up. So you might learn "I" and "e" and then practice them until you get very good. Then add a letter and work on three letters. Here's my thought. One method is to just listen up on the bands and see what you can hear and "read" in CW. But what would happen if you did this with just a few letters? Listen up to a QSO but concentrate on hearing just the I's and e's. Once you feel like you are getting a lot of them, add a letter or two. Over time, would this be a valid method of listening and improving one's speed?

RE: [Elecraft] eHam Article
That's certainly going to hurt eHam's chances of getting more articles from people. I didn't read the article but if you start applying censurship, you lose writers very quickly.

[Elecraft] RS sale items (more)
Last week I was at my friendly RS getting a new alarm clock. Lost my old one. They had a special sale on the RS version of an Atomic portable alarm clock. Only $20. And it is a nice size for packing or for on the desk. Normally $30, I think. Nice clock with super lighting. Number is 63-964. (www.radioshack.com didn't show it as a sale item (still shows $20) but the sign at the store did). Only drawback is that you can't set it for UTC. Not a biggy in my mind. They also had a special on batteries. Well, the special on batteries is not that super but the batteries come in a nifty case. It is touted as a can holder that says it will hold 4 cans of soda or whatever. But I didn't see it that way. I saw it as a nifty carrier for something like the PAC-12 or MP-1. It is bright red (so it is easy to find) and has a shoulder/carrying strap. Haven't tried it yet but looks like it should work great. Price on the battery pack/cooler says $20 but the sale was for $10. Michael N4NMR ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Which mic
I'm thinking about asking for a new mic for Christmas. Is there a nice (but not big $$$) mic that will work on the K2, the 703 and the 817? I'm assuming that I would need several adapters but that is ok. I'm leaning towards a Heil type mic. Probably a hand-held or headset. (But the Heil desk mic deal on Elecraft page is tempting if it will work on all three rigs.) XYL says Christmas list is due this weekend or nor presents for me so quick response is appreciated.

[Elecraft] Soldering station questions (please, no wars)
1) Mine may be going bad: I suspect my temp controlled soldering station is going south on me. In building my K2, I've noticed that it takes longer to get the solder flowing. Are there any _cheap_ but somewhat accurate ways of testing a station like this? (Sorry, don't remember the brand name but it is one of the known ones.) 2) recommendations (again, please, no wars here): If I have to replace my current station, can someone tell which of the Weller stations are good and which are ones to avoid. It seems that Weller is the only thing that I can get in town. (I'll take other recommendations just in case I have to go on-line to order one.) Thanks, folks, in advance.
