[Elecraft] K3 bail height

2008-07-05 Thread DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL
I can't help you with the bail height, but if the bands are typical
dead (sparsely populated), consider using the SCAN function.  Just sit
back and let the rig do the work.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 bail height

2008-07-05 Thread Don Wilhelm
That was going to be my suggestion until you beat me to it.  I was 
measuring the bail projection from the bottom of the feet and find it is 
1.75 inches, so a 0.5 inch thick piece of something (wood, plastic, 
paperback book, etc) under the front feet will produce the requested 
result.  That is too small to even consider a bail.

If you need it lowered that much, perhaps just put something under the
front feet?

Is there anyone out there interested in making a lower height bail, say 30
mm or 1.125" lower ??
As it stands it gives me a pain in the wrist tuning around, and I spend a
lot of time tuning around as here in Western Australia there certainly isn't

[Elecraft] K3 bail height

2008-07-05 Thread Keith Bainbridge
After owning my K3 for over 6 months now I still find the height of the 
bail annoying.
Is there anyone out there interested in making a lower height bail, say 
30 mm or 1.125" lower ??
As it stands it gives me a pain in the wrist tuning around, and I spend 
a lot of time tuning around as here in Western Australia there certainly 
isn't too much to hear on ANY band at present!!
