[Elecraft] Big trade for a Loaded K3
Call me crazy, but for you folks who may have purchased one too many K3's(is that possible?)

[Elecraft] K3 Transmit problem
I must have inadvertently changed a setting because I'm having trouble transmitting. My last contacts were FB during a contest a few weeks back. Same up-to-date firmware, no changes. Now when I start talking with the VOX settings on my MD-2 mic ( set for "fpl bias" when I checked the settings in the MIC SEL Main menu) I get a full carrier out with no modulation and I can no longer hear my voice being transmitted, only a loud hissing noise keeps transmitting even though I've stopped talking on VOX. Any suggestions? I reloaded the firmware twice with no change. I'm sure I'll feel silly when I figure this out :-) 73 Paul w9bbr ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] A 2006 K2-B w/ Color TFT?
I like Fred's idea. The K2 is a great radio with performance that need litle or no improvement. However, if Elecraft offered a larger footprint case along with a color TFT display and more funtions given over to their own knobs and buttons instead of the multiple menues, I'd be in line to pick one up in heartbeat. Of course I have no idea if something like that is even possible, but it's fun to think about it! 73 Paul w9bbr "Fred (FL)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Don - I'm not trying to interface my PC or notebook, to my K2 #5422.

But the designers did make the xcvr very modular - with a front panel, control, and RF board. My quest would be able to buy and build a KSD2, a display upgrade option for my K2.

[Elecraft] Applied 12V to accessorie jack
Hi Folks, I lent my K2100 out to a ham in Reading, PA a few years ago and apparently he misplaced the power connector and applied 12V directly to the 12 V power-out jack (Anderson Power Pole connector). He said the radio powered up fine, but when he went to tune up and transmit, the unit went dead. I got the radio back about a year and a half ago and want to dive in and see what might have happened. Can anyone give me a place to start or have an idea if I'm looking at just replacing a fuse or something more involved? Thanks!

[Elecraft] OT: Flat Panel Display Died
Way OT! I was hoping that some of you computer types could reply to me "Off List" with some possible fixes. I have a 4 year old Dell Flat Panel Display that seemed to die during what may have been a power surge. My Satellite System died as well, but worked again when I re-booted it. Both were plugged into surge protectors so go figure. :-) I took the back panel off to see if the power supply fuse was blown, but the fuse was good - just no powering up at all for the monitor. I'm using a substitute flat panel display which is working well, so it's definitely the unit. Any ideas? Any things that go bad routinely in these units?

Re: [Elecraft] New Amp: Mt Everest!
I don't see the point in debating the "Meaning of Elecraft" between the Qrp and Qro crowds. I think Elecraft is evolving and growing to meet the needs of ALL hams. Does a K2/100 not work as perfectly as a K2? Is the KX1 the coolest, smallest, most enjoyment ever put into a tiny box? You bet! I happen to love Qrp. I like a 100 watts as well. Do I need an 800 watt or 1500 watt amp with autotuner? OF COURSE I do! I need it because it would be fun to have it when conditions are abysmal. I need it because it will be yet another wonderful piece of Elecraft designed ham equipment that will yield countless hours of soldering enjoyment. I need it for the same reasons that men need to climb Mt. Everest - "because it's there!". Will I probably have to donate a kidney to afford it? Absolutely! Now here's the great part - Buy it and build it for the fun of it and then Sell it if you have to! I bet you could charge a $500 premium to sell the hottest Amp on the market that will work with every rig out there! I imagine folks will be lining up for these babies.

Re: [Elecraft] MP-1 Quality?
John, Luckily, I had no problem with my MP-1like you describe. I used it primarily SSB about 2 years ago mostly on vacation, at Dayton, or when on picnic table breaks along the interstate. I found it very well machined except for one of the threads on a tripod leg. I did find the MP-1 a little finicky to manually tune, but definitely more than adequate and had a good number of contacts. ie, I would recommend the antenna. However, recently I purchased a factory-built Buddipole system which I used during the tail end of Field Day and over the next two weeks. My experience with the buddipole was a better one. The antenna performed better from the living room of my frame bungalow and also on a tripod in my back yard. I did a side-by-side test in my house with both antennas optimized w/ my MFJ ant analyzer, and the buddipole was better on all accounts. Admittedly, this was a very limited and extremely unscientific test, but nonetheless convinced me to use the buddipole when size was not a limiting factor. While the buddipole does break down to nice carrying case, the MP-1 has it beat hands down in transportability. If I'm traveling on business(seldom these days) and it all has to fit in my briefcase, the the MP-1 is probably coming along. I think both work well for their intended use, but if I'm going on vacation, have enough room for a tripod and a 6' diameter of real estate to place it on, and can throw either into the trunk, the buddipole is most likely making the trip. I would like to see Elecraft market the Buddipole as well under Elecraft colors. The more choices the merrier! just my $.02 73 Paul John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I just returned from a trip to the beach. We had a great time swimming, laying in the sun, and drinking beer but my attempts at Ham Radio were not very successful. I had brought along my K2 and an MP-1 that I had purchased earlier this summer from Elecraft. As usual the K2 worked great but I can't say the same for the MP-1. This is my second one. The first one was replaced by Elecraft because I had stripped the threads on top of the coil trying to get the whip screwed in. Whoever built it had done a terrible job. It was covered with filings and oil and had many sharp edges where it had been machined. I was very surprised because, all in all, the quality of the antenna looked very good except for the final machining and threading. Anyhow, Elecraft replaced it. When the replacement arrived, I took it out of the box and very carefully assembled it. It had the same problems as the first one so I spent some time cleaning the threads using a bolt that I got from the local ACE. Once they were clean, I had no problem screwing everything together. I put it back in the box and set it aside until I our vacation. After enjoying the beach for a couple of days, I set up the station and got ready to work some holiday QSO's but, alas, this didn't happen. The new antenna had a loose connection. It turned out that the hole that the horizontal screw that secures the bottom of the coil was stripped making an intermittent connection. Now I don't know what to do. Do I try to fix it myself, send it back to Elecraft for another replacement, or send it to MP-1? I don't recall how long I have had it other than it was purchased earlier this summer.

[Elecraft] OT: Annoying Noise: problem solved
A while back I had a loud noise problem on 20m & 17m which I tracked down to a neighbor's doorbell transformer that was going bad. Then about 7 months ago I encountered a similar extremely loud but "marching" noise that wiped out all but the 80m band with S9 + 20 noise spikes at roughly 1 second intervals. I used an MFJ-852 broadband noise receiver to track it down finally to an area of my house. Since that portion of the house was on one circuit, turning off the breaker confirmed my suspicion by ending the noise abruptly. I then proceeded to turn off everything connected to each outlet one by one. But when I finished the noise was still there. How could that be! Finally after checking all the outlets again, I found a cord going behind my couch in the family room that I assumed to go to a table lamp. It turned out to go to my spare Dewalt 24V Battery charger that I kept upstairs in the house and had forgotten about. Yep! This was the culprit. A simply battery charger created such interference on my attic loop antenna, as to make the bands virtually unusable. I seem to remember reading in the recent ARRL on-line bulletin where the FCC had ruled against the neighbor of a ham who was getting similar interference from the neighbor's Snowmobile Battery Chargers. With so many devices dependent on rechargeable power cells these days, keep an eye out for these inexpensive radio-deafening contraptions. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
