Eric  Wayne,
will  we get confirmation that we got on the KX3

I ask as there were issues with the automated web registration.

I tried 3-4 times to sign  up but got the error massage the same as

Guys,
I  know this is off topic but I will be working at IBM's 
facility in Essex  Junction, VT next week and wondered if there were any ham 
radio 
or electronic  surplus stores in the area?
 
I was last there 8 years ago and there wasn't much in the area as I

will  there be a 'MARS' type band limit capability 
available sometime? It would be  nice to be able to move outside the current 
band limits for Air Cadet (similar  to the Civil Air Patrol cadets in the

[Elecraft] K3 Powerpole connector issue!

2007-12-11 Thread VTuff59795
Guys,
I built SN # 104 up in  about 4 hours to the 10 watt version (I have 
not yet fitted the 100 watt PA), it  went together so easily I was slightly 
disappointed that it was not more  involved!!! Joking aside the only (and I 
mean 
only) issue I have had was with  the main board mounted powerpole connectors!
 
When unwrapped the main PCB looked fine but upon assembly I noticed a  slight 
misalignment (around 0.75 mm) of the Red (positive) PP connector, it was  
shorter than the Black (negative) one! I nevertheless continued to build up the 
 
rig until it was completed then I noticed when connecting the power lead for  
initial testing that the mating up of the connectors was not very positive 
(i.e.  secure). Upon investigation I found that the internal metal connector 
was 
1.5 mm  short from being fully home in the board mounted housing!!!
 
Yesterday I partially dismantled the rig and removed both board mounted  
connectors and rebuilt them correctly. When reassembled everything was fine,  
this 
is the only issue I had with the kit but I must say that whoever fitted the  
Powerpole connectors on my main PCB should have had their arse (ass) kicked! 
The  wire was poorly tinned and badly aligned, still... It made it more of a 
kit for  me and let me use the soldering iron a bit more than intended so no 
harm done  ;-)

Re: [Elecraft] 100 K3's shipped

2007-11-22 Thread VTuff59795
Guys ( Gals),
My  K3 will ship Monday, it was ordered 4th of May 
and it looks like (not confirmed)  that it will be just under the 100 serial 
number. It would have shipped this  week but my credit card company viewed the 
request from Elecraft as a possible  fraudulent transaction and put a hold on 
the payment! When I cleared up the  situation 4 hours later I had missed the 
shipping for that day and hence will  receive it around Wednesday next week 
(28th 
of November).
 
I'm looking forward to the build and operating the 'beast'...
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the USA...
