Re: [Elecraft] AX-1/K-2/K-1

2018-11-20 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft
I used the AX1 with my K1 on November 15th chasing a SOTA activator in IL, I’m 
in FL.
The AX1 was setup inside a screened in porch on a table top tripod, the K1 was 
set to 7 watts and tuned up on 20m at 1.1 swr.
We made the contact, he gave me 339 RST, I was very surprised and impressed !
The ATU in the K1 did its job with the AX1 just fine. I’ve only used 20m so far.

[Elecraft] AX1 antenna

2018-11-15 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft

Received my AX1 yesterday, so small but a gorgeous piece of engineering !!
Put it to the test this morning...I had just made a Q on 20m with Keith, 
KR7RK doing a SOTA activation from IL with my KX3 @ 80w, I’m in FL.

I set up my K1 and new AX1 antenna with a table top tripod inside my screened 
in porch.
Keith was still calling CQ SOTA, I called and he returned my call. The K1 was 
set at 7 watts, the antenna tuned up 1.1 swr.

I was amazed, it really worked !! Thanks for another great piece of Elecraft 
gear Wayne and Eric, you guys have another winner here !!

What’s next ??

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Re: AX1 Order Page Up but Broken?

2018-10-10 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft
I have to agree with Buddy 100% !!!
I’ve owned Elecraft radios for almost 10 years now, it’s all I own !!
I had my KX3 two weeks (s/n 0045) and a glitch appeared, couldn’t use the 
radio. I emailed Elecraft on a Sunday night around 10pm, not expecting to hear 
from them til Monday morning.
I got an email less than half an hour later, from Wayne no less! He said he’d 
be on it first thing Monday morning and let me know.
He emailed me Tuesday morning and had me call him later, he spent an hour on 
the phone helping me reboot the KX3 ! That was April 2012, the KX3 has operated 
just fine since than !
That left a lasting impression on me to this day, Wayne and Eric and the crew 
at Elecraft are the best IMHO !!
I’m an Elecraft junkie for life..thank you Wayne and Eric !!

[Elecraft] K1 Internal Battery kit

2017-09-03 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft

Bought my fourth K1 (my last), last month, didn't have the KAT1 installed thou. 
I was fortunate to have  ordered one before they were discontinued last week !
The KBT1, internal battery kit is discontinued also, I'd like to find one.
If you have one that's excess to your needs or not using anymore, built or not, 
I would be happy to take it off your hands !
Contact me off line at ekac...@yahoo.com
Sad to see the KX1 and K1 discontinued, they're both such fun and easy to 
operate little rigs ! I've had my KX1 almost 8 yrs and plan to keep it, the 
same for this latest K1 !
Now I'm thinking maybe I should find a K2 before they disappear, sold my K2 
last December after having it almost 8 yrs. After buying my KX3, s/n 045 in 
2012, the K2 didn't see much use anymore. 

Thanks in advance !!

[Elecraft] KX1 For Sale

2017-08-14 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft
GM Guys, I have a KX1 for sale, s/n 2698.
 It's in excellent condition, has the ATU installed, also has the paddles.
 Don Wilhelm, W3FPR went thru it a few months ago and gave it a clean bill of 
health ! 
 While it was there, he built and installed for me the K6XX CW indicator kit 
which allows you to zero beat the station with the lamp installed on the KX1.
 It comes with the manual of course !
 I already have another KX1, and went and broke down and bought a K1, my third 
! Can't seem to stay away from the K1lol !
 So this one is really surplus to my needs, plus I need to put the money back 
in the bank I used to buy the K1lol !!
 Price is $450.00 firm, I'll pay shipping and insurance. I can do PayPal or M.O.
 Contact me at ekac...@yahoo.com
Pictures on request.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 Matching Power Amplifier

2017-04-06 Thread Edward Kacura via Elecraft
I've been using my old HF-PACKER amp I've had about 7 yrs with the KX2.
2 watts in gives me 40watts out for portable ops here in Florida.
I use a Buddipole 5Ah battery for the amp and the internal battery in the KX2.
I was on the air every day for almost a week at Flamingo in the Everglades last 
month chasing SOTA activators, never ran either battery down.
Virgil has a new mini HF-packer amp for SOTA activators out now, 35/40 watts 
out on battery.
I would buy an Elecraft small amp if they ever produced one !

[Elecraft] KX1 discontinued

2017-02-10 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft
It is indeed a sad but inevitable occurrence, time and technology move forward !
The KX1 was my first venture into the world of Elecraft, I bought mine in 2010 
and still use it, it has gone everywhere with me in my travels, from mountain 
tops to kayak camping in the Everglades.
I've owned the K1, K2 (Twins), and currently own the KX3, PX3, KXPA 100 and KX2 
! I'm an Elecraft fan for life, I don't own and other brand !
Thanks so much Wayne for one of the best little radios, it's so simple and easy 
to use and just plain fun ! I wish I had ordered another kit now.
I'll never sell my KX1, I may even have it buried with me when the time come !

[Elecraft] Elecraft Support

2017-01-08 Thread Edward Kacura via Elecraft
Yes, they are the best when it comes to support !
I had my KX3, s/n045, less than 10days and a problem developed.
I shot an email to Elecraft at 10pm on a Sunday nite, shortly Wayne answered 
me, much to my surprise !
It was an early firmware problem and he said he'd be on it Monday morning !
I get an email from him Tuesday to call him personally.
He spent an hour on the phone with me while I reloaded firmware and set the 
radio up again !
I've not had a problem since in almost 5 years now.
I was so impressed with Wayne's personal service and help !
I'll never buy anything but Elecraft products ever again !
Thanks so much to everyone there, you folks are the best IMHO !!

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Yaesu 817ND vs Elecraft KX3 Differences for Portable Use

2016-01-28 Thread Edward Kacura via Elecraft
I had an 817 first, then got the 703, which blew the 817 away ! 
I sold the 817 so fast, I'll never own another for any reason !
Then I got the KX3, s/n 45.
The 703 was sold, but it was a good radio, far superior to the 817 !!
The KX3 out did both !
I'm a die hard Elecraft fan for life
BTW, I also have a KX1 and K1, I reluctantly sold my K2 just recently, which 
was a great radio, I needed the room.
There are no other radios for me now but Elecraft !!
And of course there's the great customer service you get, that the "others" 
don't provide !!

[Elecraft] FS: K2/QRP (amp/tuner sold)

2014-11-01 Thread edward kacura via Elecraft
I'm downsizing since retirement earlier this year, will be on the road with the 
travel trailer. These item need a new home instead of sitting packed away. I 
have my KX3, PX3 along with the KXPA 100, it all fits nicely in the trailer.

The K2, s/n 6576, was built in late 2011 by Dale Putnam WC7S, with the complete 
Rework Eliminator kit.
Installed in it are K160RX, KSB2 SSB option, KAT2 Antenna tuner, KDSP2 filter 
with clock, KIO2 RS-232 interface, KBT2 battery kit, no battery.There's an 
unbuilt noise blanker. There's a weighted VFO knob installed, and an extra top 
cabinet panel with speaker installed.

All the manuals included, along with a MH-2 hand mic and headset adapter. 
There's two unopened Rework Eliminator kits, KXPD1 clamp for the KX1 paddles to 
mount to the K2 bail.
I'm asking $850.00, new $1690.00.

I will double box and insure, and pay the shipping, only lower 48 thou, no 
overseas. Paypal, or money order works for me.

As with all used electronic equipment, there's no return or refund. You will 
get working radios when they leave me.

Contact me off-line at ekac...@yahoo.com mailto:ekac...@yahoo.com, or call my 
cell and leave a msg. 520-490-5395. ( I don't always hear the cell with my 
hearing aids)

[Elecraft] Amp/tuner

2013-08-23 Thread edward kacura
Well I for one am disappointed about the Oct delivery dates, I was looking 
forward to getting my amp this next week. Good things come to those who wait my 
mother always told me...but please hurry Wayne and Eric !!
 
Drinking the Kool-Aide came from the deaths of almost 900 people who were 
followers of Jim Jones, he was a paranoid religious fanatic who convinced his 
follower's to drink the poisoned Kool-Aide and meet their maker at their 
compound in Guyana in the later 70's ! And they all followed him to their 
deaths !
 
I like Wayne and Eric's better thank you.

[Elecraft] I wish Elecraft would make this radio

2013-01-04 Thread edward kacura
I agree with Barry, I own both the KX3 and KX1 (and K2), an updated KX1 would 
be great ! I love the little KX1 and would never sell it. And it does go with 
me more often on camping/kayak trips than the KX3 does.
 
That being said.I guess we'll just have to wait and see what develops at 
the skunk works in Aptos !

[Elecraft] KX1 power supply

2012-12-11 Thread edward kacura
I've been running my KX1 from home with the nomal 13.8 v and get right at 3 
watts out. When I put 14.9 v (max output from the pwr supply), I'll get 4.1 
watts out of the KX1. 
 
A 1 watt increase, not a lot of difference I know, but every little bit helps. 
Here's the question, does it, or will it hurt the KX1 in the long run, running 
14.9 volts into the radio, I know the manual says 14 v. Does that .9 v make any 
difference to the PA, or should I just stick to my 13.8 v and 3 watts ??
 
I love the little radio, even thou I have the KX3,  and don't want to hurt it ! 
It's just so simple and easy to operate, and FUN !! (I'll never get rid of it 
!!)
 
Thanks..

[Elecraft] Elecraft] K2 vs. KX3 which would you get?

2012-05-31 Thread edward kacura
Hi Stan, it's been a while, I thought I reconized the call and name. I was just 
thru Nephi last week, if I'd of thought about it, I would have stopped in at 
the hospital. Next time, in Nov !
 
I have my KX3 now, s/n 45 ! I'd go for the KX3 Stan, you won't regret it one 
ioda !! Pick up a used K2 later ! I also have the K2, and the K1, and KX1. All 
great radio's, but for what you want to do, get the KX3, order it now !! You'll 
have it by fall I would think !
 
And you also have Wayne's input, you can't go wrong there !! Good luck and 
maybe we can hook up again on CW some late night !! Glad to see you're still 
out there !!

GM es HNY to all !! 
The KX1 was my first Elecraft radio and I used it to learn (still learning) CW 
with. As other have stated, it's just too much fun and such a neat little radio 
for what it does ! I too have a KX3 on order, but for right now, I don't want 
to part with the little KX1 !
I also have a K2 and a K1, love them both, I'd considered parting with the K1, 
but for now have decided to keep the family together as we wait for the newest

Can't wait for the KX3...

[Elecraft] CQ WW DX Contest CW 2011 - Unofficial claimed scores

2011-12-04 Thread edward kacura
GM,
    I brought my KX1 and Buddipole vertical with me while on holiday for 
Thanksgiving in Utah with my two girls and seven grand kids.
 I worked some stations during the contest, but did manage to get two stations 
in Japan on 40/20 meters on the KX1 at 2.5 watts with the Buddipole vertical ! 
That's almost 2500 miles per watt ! The JA op did the heavy work with the watts 
and beam thou.
That little radio never ceases to amaze me, I love it, it's my hands down 
favorite for it's size ! I have a K2 and K1, great radio's also ! And can't 
wait to get my hands on the new KX3 ! 
But the KX1 has a special place in my heart, I'll never get rid of it ! It was 
my first Elecraft radio !

[Elecraft] Elecraft History

2011-04-20 Thread edward kacura
Thank you Wayne for that wonderful story and background on Elecraft ! While I 
don't have the background , experience and understanding of  radio electronics 
that so many of your customers here have, I just knew Elecraft was something 
special.
You and Eric and your whole staff are nothing short of great, as are your 
radio's ! I have yet to build one, but own a K1, KX1 and have a K2 being built 
for me in it's final stages. I love the KX1 the best so far, but can't wait to 
get my hands on the K2 ! 
I don't see a K3 in the near future, I want to get use to the K2 and come to 
understand it completely first.
Thanks again for the history lesson, and outstanding company, as my kids 
sayyou guys rock !

[Elecraft] K2 grey color

2010-05-10 Thread edward kacura
Is there a specific name or part/item number for the grey shade of color used 
on the K2 housing?? Can it be found at the hardware/paint store??
I thought I'd ask here first, then bother the folks at Elecraft if I didn't get 
an answer.
 
 
 Thanks in advance,

[Elecraft] New K2 now!

2008-08-28 Thread edward kacura
Good morning,some of you may remember I bought a used bare bones K2 on ebay 
about two weeks ago-s/n 5801.It was completely destroyed,according to 
FedEx!Well,after much thought and consideration,I decided to go the kit route! 
I received my new K2 yesterday-s/n 6576 from Elecraft! Iam no electrical or 
electronics engineer,I built some kits as youngster,and a few more the last few 
years(very simple and basic).I can solder,and read directions,so I figure 
that's half the battle in building the K2!It looks a little overwhelming at 
this point,but I think Iam ready to tackle this BIG project!Hopefully,I won't 
run into any problems,but I know where to turn if I do.I'll let everyone know 
when its up and running.73 de Ed N7EDK Marana,AZ.

[Elecraft] Elecraft Honchos!!

2008-05-21 Thread edward kacura
Steve,the little VW was championed by Porsche himself,Hitler was looking for a 
small car for the masses in Germany.He liked what Porsche had come up with,and 
gave him the means to produce the wonderful little car.I take offense when 
people call it Hitler's car,it's Porsche's car,100%!I've owned over 30 + VW 
models since the late 60's,I can't imagine life without a VW in my driveway!My 
current one is a 1971 Camper,or Westy.A little bit off the thread subject,but I 
love the Elecraft line also,not silly really!73's de Ed N7EDK
