[Henry Pollock - K4TMC]

Steve,

Have you looked at the elecraft-kx.groups.io list?  There has been activity
there over the last two years. I have personally engaged in the discussion
of getting CESSB speech processing into the KX3.

73,
Henry - K4TMC

Re: [Elecraft] Please unsubscribe

[Richard Hill]

James, once upon a time...all Elecraft rigs were discussed here.  As new
rigs became available, the latest rigs got more attention than the older
rigs and alternate groups formed.  You may want to unsubscribe here and
subscribe to:  [Elecraft-AX/KX/KH] on Groups.io.

The newest, cutting edge, radios (any brand) have bugs and many have
preferences that they want.  Non-the-less, many appreciate the advances and
Elecraft's responsiveness to their customers.

Gud luck.
Rich, NU6T

No discussions take place about Elecraft rigs that I own like KX3  KH1

Sure seems that the big rigs have a lot of problems - so it has been

[JEROME SODUS]

Hello,

Please disregard my yesterday's email. 

I fired up the system today and everything works, which is a surprise since no 
changes were made.

I have no explanation for this right now but will attempt to see if the port 
was shut-off; Dave-AA6YQ cautions about that from time to time. I thought I had 
done that operation a long time ago but maybe all the MS-updates messed that 
up. 

Sorry to take up the bandwidth.

I now see that the fan speed specs changed with the new firmware.  Just 
not use to the new 50 deg on from 60 deg on.

Just a friendly reminder - making personal criticisms other's email postings to 
the list, or follow on snide comments by others, just generate unneeded noise on 
the list, are clearly outside of the list guidelines,  and are not acceptable.  
(The delete key is always available if you do not like a posting.)

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Nels Nelsen]

Hi Fred

Your looking for a bigger Elecraft  amp?

Just put two 500's side by side and drive them 180 degrees out of phase and
take their output and drive a balanced line to your antenna. Be sure to
come back and let us know how it works best for you.
Have fun with it.

Remember that all the problems that you are comming up with have already
been solved. Just read the back issues of QST, Ham Radio and 73's magazine.
Building it is  'more'  than half the fun.

Not in the case of Yaesu and Icom (at least).  Both use ALC circuits
with excess gain which activate after the PA is driven into saturation.
The excess gain also drives the IF and driver stages into saturation.
Since the "roofing filter" (on rigs like the FT-1000 or IC-756 series)
is a relatively broad VHF filter, that distortion, clipping and splatter 
is not limited to the audio bandwidth and easily extends to

25 KHz or more.

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Jim Brown]

Audio processing can create distortion only in the passband of the 
crystal filters. It may sound varying degrees of awful, but it doesn't 
cause splatter. You've got to overdrive an RF stage or have that stage 
drive a mismatched load, or drive it with AGC engaged, or stuff like 
that to generate splatter.

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Ignacy]

The Expert 1.3k is sold with the 15 db restriction. But anybody can do a low
power mod and it is legal.

ARLL Review (July 16) shows IMD at 1.3 KW level:
  3rd/5th/7th/9th (14 MHz, 1300 W PEP): –31/–39/–57/–55 dB.

Seems not to be worse than Acom 1500.

The IMD as measured are misleading. Take FT1000 or FT5000. Measured IMD in
class A perhaps -50db but real one with processing due to aggressive ALC of
perhaps -25 db.

Good feature of the expert is automatic 110/220V supply. If 220V is
unavailable or sags, switch to lower power. 

Ignacy, NO9E

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

I can tell you, I have a lot of 50 MHz DX in the log that a home brew 4CX-1000A 
made possible.

Unlike HF DXing, some six meter ES & F2 openings last only a few minutes, and 
the early bird + big amp, gets the proverbial worm.

I am definitely NOT opposed to running high power.

My only piece of logic is that if you're going to go to the trouble and expense 
of running an amp, go for legal limit.
Agreed, SS legal limit amps are pricey, but a legal limit tube amp is much 
easier on the radio budget.

Yeah, I know 500 watts will help, but as we all agree, 1500 will do it when 500 
won't.

That will be a lot of money for only an extra S unit (barely). Just over a 4db

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Mike va3mw]

That will be a lot of money for only an extra S unit (barely). Just over a 4db 
gain off the top of my head. 

It is the first 500 W that count.

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Folks, we have not ever formally said we would never do a 1500W amp. We have 
said at times in the past that we were not doing one at that time, but we never 
rule anything out.


We're always looking for good suggestions and marketing input on what we should 
do in the future.

Eric

Without debating how much use is had from a 5 dB increase in signal
strength (a lot), the real reason Elecraft did not do a 1500 watt amp
is all business and marketing. Elecraft is a small business and as
such does not have the financial "mass" to absorb jabs in the bank
balance from the marketplace that do not doubly pay for the research
and development.

There is a breaking point for ham-priced transistor amp equipment
somewhere beyond 500 watts and before 1500 that has to do with
reliability of components at those stress levels, and the cost of
components and circuits to control the amp's response to the
unbelievably bad treatment afforded amps by some purchasers.

If this were not true, you would have seen dozens of 2K transistor
equivalents to the likes of the Alpha 9500 and 8410, with which you
can actually put a brick on the key and let it run at 1500 watts out
indefinitely or until you lose your nerve.

I'm sure the military has stuff, but then the military has specs and
bidding, and they are willing to pay what it REALLY costs for that
layer of reliability.

Hams are unwilling to pay mil-spec prices, and Big E. knows it. They
also know that a major failure of an expensively developed product
with a lot of warranty returns can put a small business into chapter
11.

Wayne & Co have put out a lot of leading edge products, kept their
business rolling through the Great Recession, and embarassed the fool
out of Yakencom for the better part of a decade, kicking the ham
equipment industry into a new level of performance where they really
didn't want to go.

When Wayne *doesn't* do something that gets repeated requests, there
is a reason. I trust his judgement, because he has earned that.

I particularly do not want them to go out of business and find myself
stuck with Yakencom again.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Re: [Elecraft] Please do a KPA1500

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The same argument goes for any 3:1 power ratio, but Ham radio is about having 
fun and if someone has more fun with QRO within legal limits, why not? 

In the 1960's I added a new final to a homebrew CW rig and went from 100 mW out 
to a full 1 Watt as soon as a suitable transistor became affordable. By 
comparison that was real QRO! Years later I happily upgraded my K2 from a 10 
watt rig to a 100 watt rig when the KPA100 became available.

Anyone who has tried to work a station who doesn't hear well because of 
a high noise level, or with a poor signal path, knows that even 1 or 2 
dB can be the difference between making a QSO or not. I have experienced 
this MANY times. On 160M, the band is often full from 1,800 to above 
1,900 kHz during contests, and most amps need to be re-tuned to get full 
output when moving from one end to the other. If I got lazy and failed 
to do that, my 1.5 kW amp might be down to 1 kW or so, That's less than 
2dB, but there have been times when re-tuning would get the other 
station to hear me when he hadn't responded to multiple calls.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA

[Jim Brown]

The problem with recommending a model number is that within a year of

Yes. A year or two ago, I discovered a 24-in Samsung at Costco that runs 
from a nominal 14VDC wall wart. It's an SMPS and noisy, but because it's 
14VDC, it's easy to replace with a 12VDC linear wall wart or run from 
your shack 12-14VDC power supply. To figure out what power the monitor 
requires, study their spec sheet carefully and also blown-up photos of 
the rear panel (you may need to get to the mfr website).



With two large monitors on a desk it's also worth considering adjustable
monitor support arms. They let you situate the monitors for best viewing
heights and angles without taking up valuable desk surface for your
equipment.


More great advice. I've found mounts like this at amazon. A double-arm 
mount that clamps onto a horizontal surface and places monitors 
side-by-side cost me about $70; another that places one above the other 
about the same price. And there's a company called "monoprice" that 
sells a single arm for about $50.


The tricky part about using these mounts is that they are designed to be 
used with a monitor that accepts a VESA mounting plate. Not all monitors 
have that (four screw threads at a certain spacing), but there's also a 
"garage" operation that makes mounts that retrofit some models of 
Samsung monitors. All found on the internet.


Another issue in choosing a monitor is RFI, which can be from the SMPS 
wall wart, AND from the monitor itself. W4UAT gave me a different 
Samsung model that had touch controls that had awful RFI problems -- his 
TX made the monitor go huts, and it put out lots of RF noise that I 
could not kill.


The Samsung monitors I bought are not completely clean, but can be made 
clean enough that I can't hear them in my antennas by choking their 
video and power cables.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA

[David Bunte]

I realize this is off the topic of which monitor to get, but multiple
monitors do take up more space.  The idea of mounting a monitor, or
monitors on arms does address the issue of desk space, but I decided
against that due to the cost issue, and those arms still need to be mounted
on something.

My solution was VERY much less expensive.  I made sure my monitors were
VESA mount capable.  I then mounted them to the wall directly in front of
me.  Yes, I put about three holes in the wall to mount an angle bracket to
the wall.  I then screwed another angled bracket to the back of each
monitor and they then 'hang' on the bracket that I attached to the wall.
The result is that the monitors are at the exact same height, and mine are
pushed together so they touch.

I know that no solution is perfect for every person or situation, but many
people who have seen pictures of my shack have asked how I got two monitors
to stay so perfectly aligned in relation to each other, and still have room
on my small desk for my K3, KPA500, P3 etc.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Doug,

The problem with recommending a model number is that within a year of
purchasing a monitor it is usually superceded by a different model. I do
have some suggestions that you might not have considered.

Consider getting a monitor that can also serve as a second monitor for your
PC. Most monitors today have multiple inputs. A few years ago that would
have been SVGA and DVI. Later it became SVGA and HDMI. Now you might also
find SVGA, DVI, and HDMI. But that's not the whole story. You want to make
sure that you can change the monitor with a push-button at the bottom of the
monitor. Some monitors require that you go into the monitor program
settings. That would be much less convenient.

When I'm using the P3 I'll push the monitor button to go into SVGA. When the
P3 is off the monitor automatically switches back to the DVI input thus
acting as a secondary monitor output from my PC.

Typical 22" monitors can display the 1440 x 900 from the P3 quite nicely. Of
my ASUS and ViewSonic low-cost monitors I prefer the ViewSonic. The colors
are more realistic. The ASUS adjustments don't seem capable of getting the
softer colors I'm interested in. My ViewSonic model number is VA2265smh. The
ASUS is model number VS228H-P.

With two large monitors on a desk it's also worth considering adjustable
monitor support arms. They let you situate the monitors for best viewing
heights and angles without taking up valuable desk surface for your
equipment.

73,
Mike K2MK

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA

[Gary Smith]

I have to say that I have been totally satisfied with my two AOC 
monitors, don't recall the model but the one was for my computer and 
it cost around 110 shipped. It's a 12V monitor and has its own quiet 
switching supply like a laptop uses. Incredibly low power requirement 
and it's great to look at. Then B had a sale and I bought its 
bigger brother, the 27" E2752S for around $120. It too is ultra low 
power draw, has an internal power supply, its been on all day and is 
cool to the touch. I use the smaller 23" for the P3 and the larger 
for the computer. I just felt all around both of them and there is no 
warm spots at all.

Couldn't suggest a better monitor, these are perfect; Great picture 
detail & color, not RFI inducing and far cheaper than any of the big 
brands.

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Being a bit of a tightwad, I picked up an ACER S201HL 20" monitor on sale
($60 IIRC). Works FB for me. Been using it for four years now. 

The 20" size is a comfortable reading size for me with the monitor three
feet or so away. 

Some will say it is not possible to have a monitor that is "too big", Hi!

Re: [Elecraft] Please recommend an HD monitor to use with P3SVGA

[Dave Hachadorian]

I have a pair of P3's driving a pair of 23" diagonal measurement 
monitors, running at 1440 x 900 resolution, which is the best 
compromise of responsiveness and granularity.  I think that size 
monitor is just about right, especially for displaying large 
segments of the band.  For example, in a CW contest, I can 
display about 40 KHz of the band, and still be able to easily 
detect vacant spaces where I can slide in and start calling CQ. 
Monitors of about that size are also the sweet spot in the 
pricing right now.


Whatever you get, make sure it will run at 1440 x 900.  You will 
probably have to download and read the owner's manual to make 
sure.

[Elecraft] PLEASE!

[Dyarnes]

Hi All,

I know this is probably the umpteenth time for this request, but it seems 
to need repeating.


When you reply to a post on this list, PLEASE, PLEASE, trim what you copy 
over from previous posts!  This is particularly problematic for those of 
us who take the digest form.  I just went through the last digest (Volueme 
119, issue 36), and the trail of prior postings is incredible!  Some had 5 
or 6 prior posts attached, and all of those had those same previous ones as 
well.  That's insane!


I know at least one or two lists where not properly trimming attachments 
would get you a hand slap (or more) from the moderator.  But it is really 
bad form, and just clogs up the server with excess gunk!


Anyway, it would be much appreciated if folks would be a bit more 
considerate, and help to make this reflector a more convenient tool to use. 
Just my opinion, and not trying to moderate, but I do think it is wholly 
appropriate for anyone to make such a request.


Thanks.

Dave W7AQK

Re: [Elecraft] PLEASE!

[Phil Wheeler]

Dave's comments and request are on target. I 
switched from digest to regular email for that 
reason. With email I built a filter so all these 
posts go into an Elecraft folder vs. my Inbox -- 
and now am pleased I switched from digest.


In contrast, on the Yahoo reflectors the default 
seems to be to not quote the message replied to. 
When that happens I'm often puzzled since there is 
*no* context. So a good balance is a good thing.


Just IMHO :-)

Re: [Elecraft] Please test KPA500 rev. 1.38 if you get a chance

[PKA]

I just installed KPA rev.1.38 and don't see any difference from 1.37. Both work 
very well here (with K3 4.83 and KAT 1.58). I will report if I find anything 
not working as expected.

KAT 1.58 removed a software bug in the KAT which meant that the KAT did not 
output anything on 28MHz when the KPA was OPR, but worked OK when the KPA was 
STBY (problem only on 28 MHz). The bug was suddenly triggered by something 
unknown (to me).

I am operating RC using Teamviewer, keying with Winkeyer and using 
KAT500-Remote and KPA500-Remote, both ver. 1.0.5.0. I am quite pleased with 
both. It is in fact possible to include everything (HRD (including logbook), 
WKey, KAT, KPA and other SW used for RC with iPad or iPhone) on a single laptop 
screen.

However, I have a few suggestions for improvements of the KAT500-Remote:
- The tune button should change colour (more clearly) when Tune is activated
- An indication should show Power OFF when the power of KAT is switched OFF
- The coloured fields for SWR should change colour following the SWR
- VFWD and VRFL could include peak values ( it is a nice-to-have feature, but 
the living values are essential when working remotely with weather sensitive 
antennas)

All in all I must say both programs are very useful even as they stand. 
Congratulations Elecraft.

 Hi all,
 
 We updated the KPA500 beta firmware to revision 1.38 yesterday (from 1.37). 
 The change was minor, pertaining to initial conditions when the KPA500 is 
 used at remote locations. 
 
 If you get a chance, please load rev. 1.38 and verify that it is working well 
 for all normal operation. Once we see a few more positive reports, we'll be 
 going to production status on the K3, KPA500, and KAT500 beta firmware 
 releases.
 
 If you haven't already loaded K3 rev 4.83 and KAT500 rev 1.58, I'd encourage 
 you to do these updates as well. The difference between the new firmware and 
 previous production releases is pretty dramatic, as reported by beta testers 
 over the past several days.

[Lee Buller]

I got some CM500 headphones/mike combo from Xmas.  Yea me.  I love them  Very 
comfortable.

In the packagethere was also a battery connector box thingy that powers the 
mike.  I am assuming, although there is no documentation, that I could plug the 
jack coming out of the battery connector box thingy to the K3 through my Heil 
plug adapter.  The battery powers the mike but passes through the audio.  

I know that I could use the back of the radiobut I for reasons of my 
ownI would like to use the front.  

Am I thinking this is right?

Hi Lee,

I did exactly what you're thinking about doing.  Instead of using the
bias box as-is, I rewired the line side of it to use the 8 pin MIC
connector.  It works fine this way.  You can double-side tape the bias
box to the underside of a shelf or next to the radio.

I have the Goldline and external speakers connected to the rear panel,
leaving the front panel the only convenient place for the CM500.  This
arrangement works quite well.

Hi Lee,
  With the Yamaha CM500 headset just plug the mic  
headphone plugs direct into the respective Mic  headphone sockets on 
the back panel of the K3.
Next step, using the menue options select electret mic option and select 
phones only -or- phones plus speaker if you wish.


All of this  is in the K3 Handbook.

73  good luck,

Eric VK3AX.

Yes, it will work, but there's a far easier way. Simply make a cable 
adapter with a 1/8-in female jack on one end and an 8-pin mic plug (I've 
learned that it's called a Foster plug) on the other. Wire the tip of 
the mic jack to the mic pin of the K3, wire the shell of the mic jack to 
the mic return of the K3. Then go into the top level menu (short push), 
select Mic Front Panel, tap 2 on the keypad to turn on bias.  No 
battery box needed.

Re: [Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

[Edward R Cole]

I already decided not to install batteries inside my KX3.  But it was 
not primarily to avoid damage due to leakage of electrolyte.  Opening 
and closing the KX3 seems a little delicate to me.  One has to ensure 
the connecting wiring is intact and not being pinched.  I just 
decided to use an external sealed acid-gel battery if I need to go 
portable.  In the shack or mobile I will simply plug the power cord in.


I do have NiMH batteries inside my MFJ-269B.  I did try using 
alkaline batteries but they did not last long enough.  The 
rechargeable NIMH have been installed about two years with no 
issues.  I charge it using my 3A bench supply (current 
regulated).  2-4 hours on 14v does it.  No leakage issues.


Even with warrantees from manufacturers I would not trust alkaline's 
for long-term use.

[Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

[Wayne Burdick]

Alkaline batteries can leak for various reasons, potentially damaging  
your radio. (Nothing like caustic potassium hydroxide to ruin your  
day.) Even if the batteries are new, remove them when you're not  
actually using them for portable operation. Check their condition  
periodically.


We saw a case of Alkaline-inflicted damage recently: a radio in which  
batteries had been left for many months. Not pretty.


Lithium nonrechargeable camera batteries and NiMH batteries *can* be  
left inside for extended periods, but even these more stable types  
should still be checked once a month.

I second that, from experience!

Left the batteries in my MFJ 259B Antenna Analyzer for just a short time and
will not do that again! What a mess. Some white looking pookie leaked out
on, fortunately, one end of the battery tray and did no harm. But if I had
left it there for months, I can imagine it would have been a big problem.

Re: [Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

[Fred Jensen]

I'd modify that to, Never leave ANY battery inside of your radio or 
test equipment. Li-ion's seem to be very stable, I haven't ever heard 
of a cell phone or laptop with a leakage problem.  Li-Poly's don't seem 
to leak but they do catch fire ... at least once.  Fortunately, I was 
out on the deck with my KX1 and the battery was external on a pigtail by 
which I picked it up and threw it over the rail onto our gravel 
driveway.  Lots of sparken und fizzen.

Re: [Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

If you do go and leave alkaline cells in a device hopefully they were a major 
brand.  They will stand behind their batteries against leakage. For instance 
Duracell will repair or replace an item damaged by their batteries.  Here:


http://www.duracell.com/en-US/battery-care-disposal.jspx

Years ago they made good on a damaged Garmin GPSIII and also damaged flashlights 
were replaced with a better one than was sent in. Worth spending a little 
premium per cell.

Re: [Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

[Don Wilhelm]

My MFJ-259B has NiMH batteries, and I set the internal plug to trickle 
charge them.
Most of the time, it just sits in its place on the bench, connected to a 
12 volt wall-wart to keep them topped up.  No problem after 3 years.  
Yes, the same set of batteries have been used that way.  The capacity of 
the batteries may have reduced over time, but they are still sufficient 
for my needs (an hour or less in the antenna field).
When those batteries no longer fill that need, I will put in new NiMH, I 
have already gotten my money's worth out of them.

I keep Sanyo Eneloops in my MFJ269.  They have been in there for about 6 months 
and the unit spends most of its time stored in the cabinet.  I took it out last 
weekend and it still showed a good charge, was used for about 1/2 hour tuning 
an antenna, and then put back in the cabinet showing a full charge.  The 
Eneloops are working fine for me.

 Timely post, Roger!  I just went down and checked my MFJ 259B and two of the

 The cells were the common black-and-gold Duracells.
 
 The MFJ-259B is a tough piece of gear to have not ready at all times. Most 
 of the time it just sits on the bench.  But when you need it, you need it NOW 
 and it's a PITA to have to find a small Phillips to back out the two screws 
 and load up the cells.  This is the trap I fell into. Those batteries have 
 been in there for at least three years ;)
 
 I think I'll locate - or  fabricate-  some thumbscrews (like the KXPD3) so I 
 can more rapidly remove the access cover and lessen the temptation to leave 
 cells in there.

Re: [Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

[Dave Lankshear]

Another thing to check is the batteries in the remote controllers that
proliferate in homes these days.

 

I've had so many leakages from Energizer batteries that I won't have them in
the house.  They, too, claimed to provide a replacement or refund for any
item damaged by leakage, in the very, very small print.  I tested this and
began to think I'd taken up a new hobby.  They made the claim such hard work
that it made me more and more determined to win.  Each time I received a
payment, it was for less than they had agreed.  It took them 6 attempts to
cough up with the agreed sum.

 

It's sound advice from Wayne. Batteries are just waiting to leak in your
irreplaceable items.

 

Perhaps the KX4 would have a removable, slot-in battery pack Hi!

Re: [Elecraft] Please DO NOT leave alkaline batteries in your KX3, KX1, or K1 for any length of time

I have the bad habit of leaving batteries in equipment, 
sometimes for years. I have developed some skill in removing the 
residue and getting the equipment going again, all the time 
kicking myself for being stupid.


I have not had leakage problems with rechargeable batteries 
including NIMH. I have had problems with button cells and 
primary cells (non-rechargeable). YMMV

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Thanks everybody.  Unfortunately my desktop does not have a free slot
available and from what I can tell there're really no good USB solution.

73, 

Paul

Re: [Elecraft] PLease stop OT threads

[Bert Craig]

Like this one? Telling people what and/or what not to discuss is not only not 
your job... It is contrary to one of the very principles that we hold so dear. 
Having said that, I do recognize that this is a private forum so it is the job 
of the digital landlord, i.e. Wayne  Eric, to decide what content may reside 
on their servers. (Which brings us back to my first statement.)

Censorship is usually the first little step down a slippery path to a 
particularly ugly place. It is the first chosen tool of the ignorant in an 
attempt to make others ignorant. While I acknowledge that there is a difference 
in censorship vs. moderator duties, might I suggest we be ever so cautious.

I would be more than willing to pay a stipend to Elecraft in order to subsidize 
the cost of increased server space. This might allow some additional leeway so 
that those who DO read and benefit from what others may perceive as OT may 
continue to learn and enjoy... And those who do NOT wish to read such post may 
exercise the right to do what I am about to do right now... Hit the 'Delete' 
key. As always take care es...

[Elecraft] Please suggest video capture?

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Hi Tom,

What is the best video capture board to get?  Please suggest one, we 
need it for some screen capture from P3/SVGA for some engineering work, 
but also to play with your program.

Thanks and best regards,

Paul

 I will be looking for beta testers but of course you will need a video

Re: [Elecraft] Please suggest video capture?

[tomb18]

Hi Paul,

The Avermedia HD Game Broadcast PCIe is excellent.  It requires a PCIex4
slot but will work at full HD with no dropped frames at all.  It's around
$150.
Thanks

Re: [Elecraft] Please suggest video capture?

[tomb18]

If you are interested, I have posted a video of the Remote version of Windows
4 P3 on my web site.  It got cut off at the end, but you'll get the idea. 
I'll try for something better later.

Paul

 I am using an AVerMedia C127 GameBroadcaster HD in a slot on my 
DELL XPS 420...it captures the output from the P3 without dropping 
frames, and of course gives one the windowed P3 output directly on my 
WIN7 Ultimate machine -- totally resizeable, relocatable, etc.
