Re: [Elecraft] [OT] K3 Shack Pictures and iMacs
I have also struggled with the layout of my iMac with my station. I was using it with my radios to the side because like you I didn't like the screen being to high. I wound up getting me a second monitor a 27 IPS from MonoPrice. So I have it mounted on a arm so it is lower with my iMac to the side. You can see some pictures on my website. Old Pictures http://www.aa5sh.com/?page_id=54 and current picture is in the header. With the 27 iMac you should be able to get a Vesa adapter where you can remove the stand and put in on a arm. Then you can adjust the height better. Unfortunately with my 21.5 the Vesa mount is not an option or I would have gotten a dual monitor arm for them both. But my shack changes often as well hi hi. 73's Michael, AA5SH On Fri, May 2, 2014 at 6:20 PM, Jim N7US j...@n7us.net wrote: I experienced that with polycarbonate lenses but not with high quality, high-index plastic ones. 73, Jim N7US -Original Message- I tried progressive lenses three times, and each one ended in frustration, because the reading area is limited to a circular bull's eye that makes head swiveling mandatory for covering a wide area. If anyone knows of a progressive without this characteristic, I'd be first in line. ...robert On 5/2/2014 19:58, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: On 5/2/2014 10:19 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: I insist on progressive lenses with a wide viewing angle.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Bose speakers
I have a set of the Bose Companion II. I really like them using them with my K3 and my computer. They have two inputs so I can listen to either or both. I have several SDRs I use with my computer to feed audio. The only time I have experienced RF getting into them is with my AMP at times. When I do I just power off the speakers and use headphones. I don't regret the purchase at all. 73's Michael, AA5SH __ 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] AFEDRI SDR for K3 Panadapter
Dave, I use the Afedri with my K3. Works great with NaP3 as well as SDR-Radio, Spectravue, CuteSDR. One cable to the radio (SMA-BNC) and USB cable to the computer. I also connected it to my networking switch so I can use other apps that support it's networking mode. I chose it for it's simplicity with just a cable either way. No seperate sound cards etc. Works fine no problems on iMac run OSX 10.8 and bootcamp in Windows 7/64. Let me know if you want any more info.

It's in the vicinity of $250-$300, has both Ethernet and USB connections, and can handle 1.25 MHz of bandwidth on the Ethernet connection or 384 KHz on the USB connection. (I don't have the specs up in front of me but that's from memory). I thought I would ask here if anybody had one of the AFEDRI units and/or if anybody had used one with the K3. I know it's one of the lower-end SDRs so it has some limitations in the front end but I thought the Ethernet/USB/bandwidth aspects looked nice. I have used a Softrock that I built as a panadapter and it works but have been thinking about upgrading.
