Thanks for explaining - this is definitely suspicious - I did not go as far
as going through the pictures.

Thanks for the education

Is it a group private joke or is there actual facts that leads to these

I mean if the reports are line these posts - what can eBay do given that
the seller has 100% positive feedback ?

Re: [Elecraft] "On second thought, I'll take the stairs."

Wayne,

This is great - however, here is how anyone can help train more CW operators. I 
am still a beginner in CW, so I’m not yet feeling “competent". But I’m sure 
this list has plenty of them. I received this from CWOPS’ CW Academy recently:

Ah - that’s interesting - with my focus on the noise I did not realize
that. Thanks for pointing it out - this makes the plug less useful !

I’ll try to reseat the board too.

[Elecraft] K3S noisy line-out

[W6IPA]

Hi,

I tried looking online, but could not find any reference of what I’m 
experiencing.
On a new to me K3s assembled from a kit, I have high noise on the line out - 
which seems to be similar to ground loop noise.
I have no such noise on the headphone jack in the back and in the front or USB 
Audio. I have tested by using a Zoom H1n line in.
Almost feels like there is a something with this specific connector.
I’ve tried to play with the CONGIF:Lin OUT menu setting - but I always get the 
same issue. I also tried to disconnect the USB cable with no change.
It’s not critical as I’m using the headphone jack and USB connection without 
issue.

Anything obvious  I’m missing ?

Thanks

JC/W6IPA.

Re: [Elecraft] K3s discontinued?

[W6IPA]

This is probably true in term of value. I am also on the opinion that having an 
option between the K2 and the K4 makes sense, even if it doesn’t have all the 
bells and whistles. Like having a kx2 and kx3.

Re: [Elecraft] Best Audio Interfaces 2020?

The matter is that you will send all the OS sounds to that interface (because 
you have only one)- and at this point you need to chase all the notifications 
what will be sending sound, and you cannot watch youtube anymore :-)

If you want to connect line level input/output, and you want to be able to 
monitor the input and output through a headset,
I would recommend :

[Elecraft] KX2 + KXPA100 = weird CAT behavior

[W6IPA]

Hi,

I am trying to get the decoded CW out of the kx2 usb/serial port using the CAT 
TT1;/TT0; commands.
This works fine on the KX2 with direct connection - however, when going through 
the KXPA100, 
instead of receiving only the CW characters, there is a ^FL;  appended, like 
this:
A^FL;B^FL;C^FL;D^FL;E^FL;F^FL;G^FL;S^FL;I^FL;

Is it a case where TBX should be used like for the PX3 case ? Any insight ?

Thanks,

JC/W6IPA.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft IS shipping all of our amp models

[W6IPA]

Eric,

Maybe the best would be to update the Shipping Status ,and other statement of 
support for the rest of the line.
I posted earlier a question about the support status of K3/K3s and 
availablability of parts.
I have not found any definitive statement about that.

I for one love the Elecraft products, but I am finding myself looking at 
alternatives for an upcoming upgrade.

[Elecraft] K3S support/warranty statement

[W6IPA]

Hi all,

When the K3S came out there was a section on the FAQ regarding support for K3.
I looked everywhere, and I could not find any information on the K3S status in 
the K4 FAQ, or anywhere. There seems to have been an announcement - but I could 
not find any mention of the products being retired/discontinued in the 
newsletter archive.

If someone could point me to an official statement, that would help me decide 
on my next purchase.

Thanks,

JC/W6IPA

[Elecraft] Shipping Status updates

[W6IPA]

Hi,

I understand that this is a very challenging time for every company in the US, 
specifically the ones in the counties in the San Francisco area impacted by the 
closures. It would be good to have an update FROM Elecraft on the impact on 
shipping and other operations.
The last update to the shipping status page was on 03/05, and I’m sure many 
things are different now, and some dates already passed.

I’m looking at ordering some equipment and was wondering about what is 
happening.

Thanks.

Re: [Elecraft] Where is Elecraft Support ?

[W6IPA .]

It seems also that stock is drying up on K3/K3S parts - and I wonder if
this is temporary or a sign that the legendary upgradability of K3 or K3S
is over.
