[Elecraft] Thanks All Who Replied…..

[Mister Mike]

I want to thank the five or six of you fine gentlemen who responded to my 
posting a week ago looking for a KXPA100 amplifier.  I found one at a great 
price and it is on its’ way to me now as I type these lines.

73,

Michael, W1RC

[Elecraft] Thanks!

[Bill DeVore]

Thanks to all who suggested a solution! Most of the hams on this list could 
easily work for the engineering or design departments at Elecraft. Sadly I am 
not one of them. I didn’t realize the mistake I was making when I did a EEinit 
on my K3S without a current config file.

Fortunately Elecraft keeps config files on new radios or ones they repair. They 
emailed me the config file they saved when the rig was in for repair about a 
year ago. Thanks Rob! To those of you who don’t qualify for Elecraft 
employment. Make sure you save a current config file before doing anything as 
DRASTIC as an EERint.

I compared K2 and KX3 side by side. K2 had smoother receive and transmit audio. 
KX3 works but you enjoy K2. 
Ignacy, NO9E


I wanted to use a vintage rig for SKN, and with my Heathkits out of action,
I turned to my trusty K2--little used since the KX3 and KX2 came out.
What a joy this radio is to use!  I had forgotten what a gem it is.  Thanks,
Elecraft!

[Elecraft] Thanks all around

[Dauer, Edward]

It is not at all unusual for the Reflector to carry posts thanking and in 
praise of Eric, Wayne, Jack, Alan, their colleagues, and Elecraft in general.  
And in those I concur.  I would like to offer a similar kudos to the Reflector 
participants as well.  My recent request for advice about sourcing vintage 
radio parts resulted in a huge trove of great info.  That was not the first 
time.  It was typical.  Thanks, folks.  Great group.

Ted, KN1CBR

[Elecraft] Thanks - re wiring for proposed KPA1500

[Dauer, Edward]

Many thanks to the many people who replied both on the reflector and privately, 
with a great deal of thoughtful advice.  I am now in the process of trying to 
hire an electrician to come to my QTH – which is 18 miles one way from the 
nearest town and almost 40 from the nearest city – whereupon I will hand them a 
summary of what everyone has said.  The construction boom going on in Colorado 
has made good professional tradespeople hard to attract to a fairly small and 
remote job.  But I am now armed with a sheaf of ideas.  Thanks, all.

Ted, KN1CBR

[Elecraft] Thanks to all for many great suggestions about a PTT Switch

[Dauer, Edward]

Following Kevin Stover’s and Don Wilhelm’s advice – a normally open push button 
mounted in a film can or in a Sharpie cap respectively --  I have settled on 
fitting a button switch into a tennis ball . . . .

If I drop it, it might come right back
With their usual vile green color it’ll be hard to lose track 
of on the operating desk
Squeezing the ball in between button presses would be good hand 
exercise
With a little dexterity and the right placement of the right 
size button it could be used as either a hand switch or a foot switch
   It would give the operator and the dog something to do when the band 
goes dead
   
   And, the housing of the switch would be free --

I live about three blocks from a municipal tennis court.  Suitable candidates 
for a PTT switch body abound on the surrounding sidewalks.  I guess the players 
around here really aren’t very good.

Cheers,

Ted, KN1CBR

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks for all the portable operation photos so far

[Jim Stahl via Elecraft]

 For a couple of photos of the joys of playing with Elecraft radios, check out 
my operation in the 2017 ARRL DX CW contest. The photos don't include my K3, 
and would not likely be considered suitable for publication, but anyway:

http://floridacontestgroup.org/contest-gazette/

And check out page 10 of the March 2017 issue.

Contesting is good when you head to the salt water!

BTW, I have since discovered that the Prius, when parked with the car "ON", 
will keep the 12 volt battery pretty well charged from the hybrid battery, with 
little or no RFI.

I posted a while back about not being able to drive my KPA500 to full power on 
6M. Trying to drive it beyond 200 watts resulted in a HI SWR fault. I initially 
 blamed it on the antenna, cables, connectors, etc. etc. It worked fine on a 
dummy load.
But changing antennas and cables and so on resulted in the same problem. Next, 
I hooked up my ICOM 706MKIIG. No problem!
Aha! something’s wrong with the K3S. But it worked on the dummy load. 
Scratched my head a while and finally decided the K3S was putting out a 
spurious signal of some kind. No problem with a dummy load because it didn’t 
care what frequencies it was seeing.

There was an additional problem: No transmit with mode set to USB or LSB. 
Change mode to CW, tap the key, switch back to USB, output fine.

So I sent the K3S off to Elecraft. Yep! Spurious signals being generated. They 
replaced Q7 and 8 on the KPA3A, set bias, and did tx again calibration. 
They also replaced the KLPA3A board.

Just got it back today and all is well. 

Great service!

[Elecraft] Thanks for the help.

[Louis Ives]

I finally was able to get my upgraded K-3 to recognize my K-3 utility via USB.  
I deleted the utility from my computer and reloaded it, then left the K-3 with 
the power disconnected over night.  This morning I connected the USB cable to 
the computer and then started it. I waited to make sure it was recognized by 
the computer.  I then connected it to my K-3 with the power still off. I  
connected the power cable and started the utility.  When I turned the K-3 on, 
it connected with the utility and I was able to use it. There must have been 
something corrupted in the system.  Everything works as it should now and the 
upgrades have also helped the K-3.  Thanks to everyone for the advise given.

Yes, just like any other application using RS232/USB to communicate with 
the rig.

The manual stated that it should connect to the utility regardless if it is 
powered up or off.  Any advise on this would be appreciated.


If that is in the manual...the manual needs fixing.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks to all

[Nr4c]

What baud rate is K3 set to?  Should be USB if using the USB to USB cable. 

I don't think the computer will connect to the radio if radio is not ON. 

You do not use a KUSB with the KIO3B upgrade. 

You should also get the new P3 "Y" cable to connect the P3 to the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks to all

Louis,

Do you have the menu RS-232 set to USB?  It should be to use the USB 
connection - see page 63 of the K3S manual.


HF-TRN and TRN refer only to the band encoding - see page 21 of the K3S 
manual.


The computer may recognize the K3 USB to serial converter with power off 
the K3, but there is not much that can be done unless the K3S is powered.

[Elecraft] Thanks for all the feedback regarding Winlink & K3.

[Tony Lyon]

Folks,

I appreciate all the feedback that I have received. I am now able to 
link up to Winlink stations


reliably with my K3 and my SCS DR-7400.


73,

Tony L. (KJ5XF)

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks!

[Jeff Cathrow]

 Tom; Lots of good suggestions to your original questions and I'll add a couple 
more.
 
 
I built my K3 from a kit and it was an absolute joy to put together (much more 
than I expected).  The instructions are all very clear and easy to follow.  So, 
if you take the plunge into assembling your own:
 
1)  Get a good anti-static mat with a wrist strap and always use it while 
building.  I grounded my Radio Shack mat via the third pin on a wall outlet 
(and I made sure it was a good ground with a 3-prong circuit tester beforehand).
 
2) A big plastic fishing tackle box like those sold at Wal-Mart was invaluable 
for putting all the many different sized screws in separate cubbyholes.  Also, 
get a little screw size chart like those sold in Home Depot or Ace.  After a 
little use you'll be able to tell a 3/8th from a half-inch easily as well as 
differentiate the different head types, washer types and so on.
 
3) A quarter-inch nut driver and/or crescent wrench is practically essential as 
well as a set of tiny screwdrivers.  Harbor Fright sells these for a couple of 
bucks.  They also sell magnetic parts cups that come in handy when you get a 
set of tiny bits together ready to install, too.
 
4) Have a clear table or work surface ready in advance.  Arrange good lighting 
and a big magnifying glass on standby---especially if you are an old guy like 
me!
 
5) Lastly, budget your time for building---don't rush or try to get it done 
quickly.  I found the whole process of building my K-Line rather therapeutic, 
like painting, hiking or enjoying a good concert.  I will always look back at 
the good time I had putting it together and then utilizing it to go out and 
snag some great DX out of the airwaves with great fondness.
 
A lot of folks are selling their K3s now to fund a purchase of a K3S---but I 
would rather hang onto the first rig I ever built and make upgrades now and 
then instead (but I'm a sentimental old fart).  I guarantee you will enjoy the 
building process and you'll save a little dosh that can be put towards a better 
antenna or improvement down the road.
 
Btw, the general coverage bandpass filter you asked about lets you SWL the 
shortwave broadcast and MW broadcast bands with much greater signal 
strength---they're suppressed without it.  As long as you have the 13kHz or 
6kHz filter you'll be good to go for SWLing---but just either filter is 
sufficient for casual SWLing as I sometimes do.
 
I do recommend adding the ATU and sub-receiver option if you can afford to do 
so (and want to chase DX).  The sub-receiver is great for split operations and 
I can't imagine not having one---but that's just me.  You can always add these 
and all the other goodies later on but it is more convenient to install some 
options like these early on as the sub receiver will need to be removed and 
reinstalled if adding more filters or some other options that fit underneath it.
 
I've rambled more than I intended to but when I think back to the time when I 
was getting ready to spring for the K-Line I had lots of questions, too---and 
I'm glad I did my homework as it paid off well once the big boxes from Aptos 
arrived.
 
Have fun!   Elecraft is the best!  (and I do not even drink Kool-Aid)
 
73,  Jeff,  NH7RO

Thank you everyone!!

I received many replies on what to purchase, what options, used, new, etc.. 

I have a lot to go through now, I'm very glad you all took the time to give
me so many ideas!

I wasn't expecting such a great response, hams are the best!

[Elecraft] Thanks to all

[Jerry]

Just a note to thank everyone not only for their responses to my pathetic plea 
:) but also for all the information I have picked up just reading these 
threads. Fyi I did fire it up today & it only took me 15 minutes to realize the 
paddle plug does not go in the key socket :(

I did some 'off the air, in test mode' transmitting & setting up my cw mode - 
boy am I have to shake the rust off after ~20 years of not using a paddle. Then 
I started listening on 20 ssb with my new 80/75/40 fan dipole. There was S79C 
working 5 up on 14.260 & abt a S5 on the meter. Unfortunately I haven't gotten 
to getting the Heil headset to work on the mic side, that's for tomorrow.

Bottom line - after the initial intimidation I'm really motivated to get going 
on the air, tho I have worked S79 in the past :)

Thanks again & 73

Same here, and I had the same question: with a K3 and a KX3, why was I
keeping the FT847 and the FT950 and all the related stuff I hadn¹t used in
years?  He who dies with the most toys wins?   Answer was to find a junior
high school amateur radio club that needed HF equipment.  Not at all hard
to do.  Donating was good for the upcoming generation of hams, cleared out
shelf space for me, and provided a nice tax deduction - plenty of prices
available on the 'net in case the IRS questions the values.

Possibly for the same reason that I kept my IC-9100 loaded because Elecraft
had nothing to match all its features including D-Star and 1.2 gig. A true
all band all mode modern radio, but did sell my FT-847 and FT-5000's.

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

I do. It's more fun to have more radios. Even though my K3 is my
favorite, I still like playing with my Icom 706, or the weird handheld
40M radio, or that 10M FM handheld with all the birdies. Oh, and my K2
that's in backup.

One of these days I'm going to end up with a KX3.

Now that you mention it, maybe I have a problem.

[Gary Smith]

Just a few words of thanks to both Elecraft and the members of this 
forum. Over the years I've had questions that for me, eluded answers 
and between the forum and the helpful people in tech at Elecraft, 
answers have been found. If I can't find the answers in my searches, 
I then like to ask here first and if I still need help, ask for tech 
help at Elecraft. 

What I very much appreciate is the low noise on the forum, meaning 
the lack of snide and belittling remarks which only serve to serve 
the sender's ego. I like how the vast majority of replies to 
everyone's questions are helpful and encouraging. When I've contacted 
Elecraft, they have always returned a call, returned an email in a 
timely manner and have always been able to help.

With this kind of product and support from the company and this 
forum, I am a solid and happy member of the Elecraft family.

73,

Gary

Hi Scott,

Never took it as a criticism...  If anything I have found this group of
people to be kind, and generous to a fault in giving and sharing
information.  It is sort of like the old days of ham radio!  Something I
have not seen in many years.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the help here!  The NR showing N/A was caused by my having
the AGC off.  I was unaware that killed the NR.

The feedback problem is not that simple...  I believe it is feeding back
via the sound card...  More as I narrow it down.  Not a simple matter of
having the audio up...  I need to recreate the problem, and note how
everything is set.  I am finally getting the 10,000 view of the radio in
my head.

 as you suggest, you somehow turned it off in the menu somewhere. Probably

David,

If the sound is coming from the computer, go into the CONFIG menu and 
check the setting of LIN OUT.
Default is NOR 010 (the 010 is the level).  If you tap 1 it will set 
LIN OUT to =PHONES.  That is a toggle, tap 1 again to turn it off.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks again to Elecraft

[Mel Farrer]

Be thankful that Elecraft has not gone to the salt and pepper size.  I can 
handle 0805, but that is it, period.  Eyes and microscope don't help these old 
eyes beyond that level.  Thanks Elecraft.

Mel, K6KBE

[Elecraft] Thanks for comments - KPA500 now powers on

[David Helman]

Thank you all for your comments. I did not realize that I had to install
the fuses in the KPA500 that came assembled given that the 115 V fuse
holder was installed at the factory.

Thank you all again.

I am writing this email to say a big thank-you to the staff at Elecraft for 
their courtesy and care for me, the customer. Thanks goes to the management, 
Keith Trinity (WE6R) technician that saw me through a problem that I had 
encountered! Without the generous help I encountered from these very nice 
people I would have spent god knows how many $'s chasing around in circles 
through no fault of my own.

THANKS everyone at Elecraft!!!

[Elecraft] Thanks. Responses on : To K3 or not to K3?

[David Getzy]

Hi Folks,

 

To all of you that provided me with an incredible wealth of meaningful
information (on and mostly offlist) regarding my question of using the K3 as
the main station transceiver, I thank you very much.  Responses ranged of
course from, Can't be beat to a page long tome of very insightful
practical knowledge of using the radio under real world conditions.  I
suspect, I'll be contributing to someone's vacation  fund at Elecraft later
today.  

 

I hope to post my experiences in setting all of the station up in the near
future.

 

Thanks again and 73s

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks for your comments, Will a casual SSB operator enjoy the K3?

[Tom Branton]

Good afternoon,

My thanks to everyone.  I received a tidal wave of positive comments on the K3, 
many from hams like myself.  It seems the radio is so versatile that it can be 
used in a simple application or in a most complex manner.  It truly could be 
the forever radio as it constantly evolves while giving the user the ability 
to explore new avenues.  Perhaps my interest now is in SSB and casual 
conversation.  That may change and the rig could grow with me.

Again, my thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and ideas.   I am 
going to look for a good used rig but I don't think I will find many sellers on 
this message board.

Hope to join you soon.

Kindest regards,

Tom Branton

 My question, can a casual SSB operator mostly interested in talking with ham

 I know an answer will not involve electrons but I bet there are some pretty

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks for your comments, Will a casual SSB operator enjoy the K3?

[Phil Hystad]

Tom,

There are sellers of K3s on this message board from time to time.  I am always 
curious as to why they are selling since I would never sell.I think some 
own two K3s and maybe selling the spare one.   

But, from what I have seen these sellers sell fast.  I don't ever remember the 
selling of any rig lasting more than a day.  Not just the K3 but K2s, K1s, KX1s 
show up every now and then.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks for your comments, Will a casual SSB operator enjoy the K3?

[donhall161]

Tom,

Don't give up looking for a used rig. It took me a while but I found one 
with at least 80% of the features I wanted and I am a DXer of 65 years 
experience so the wants were extensive!


For basic operating, you should be able to find one used. However, getting 
one from Elecraft directly is a sure bet and you can, as others have said, 
start pretty basic and add on easily.


You won't be disappointed with the K3.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft

[GDanner]

Last week (Monday) I left a message for a replacement VFO B knob for my K3 @ 
11:30 AM Eastern time.
The reply from a technician about an hour later was that the order had been 
placed and the knob should be shipped that afternoon. I assume he called to 
confirm that was what I actually needed.
I know the best work vendor I ever had (RCA in the tube equipment days) 
would not have managed that!

So Rich - trust that Elecraft will give you more service that you can 
expect!

Same here.  In the low 4 MHz range (MARS ops), I had a number of low amplitude

Re: [Elecraft] thanks for help w/ P3 and LP-PAN

[Fred Smith]

One very good option is the RF Space SDR-IQ receiver/panadapter. I had
LP-Pan for a year or so and it seemed that software problems had it down
more than it ran. So I sold it and bought the SDR-IQ have been well pleased
plus another good receiver also.

[Elecraft] thanks for help w/ P3 and LP-PAN

[Robert G. Strickland]

I just discovered an email filter that was trashing responses to my 
request for opinions about the P3 and LP-PAN. Thanks to all who replied. 
Very helpful.

 In another post I ask about sub-receiver versus panadapter. Here, a
 question about type of panadapter. My station occupies a very small
 space, and adding the P3 would strain the real estate. So, I've been
 looking at other panadapter possibilities that use the computer screen
 for display. What sort of useful comparisons can be made between the P3
 and the LP-Pan box/software? Are there any other panadapter options that
 I should consider? Thanks for any and all opinions.

Re: K-1 Frequency jump.

Thanks to advice from Don (W3PFR) and Mike (KK5F) I was able to find 
the problem as a bad connection on the tuning pot.

Good going.  It doesn't explain the original problem of no
transmit or receive, however, so that must have been an
entirely separate issue that may come back.

[Elecraft] Thanks ELECRAFT

[Bill]

I am really pleased with the performance of my Elecraft gear and
the  great support that they provide. 
It  is also impressive
that they think of all the little things too. For example:
-From comments that were made here on this list, I knew that
I would have to make up a new power cord for my P3 after installing the SVGA
board. When the new board is installed  there is more than 500 mA of current 
required so the P3 can no longer be
powered from the K3 power jack.  When my
new P3SVGA board arrived I was pleased to see that they had thought to INCLUDE
a new P3 power cord.
-I ordered one of the new power cords to run the KPA500 on
220 volts instead of 120 volts.  I know
my KPA500 kit came with both sets of fuses but of course I could not remember 
where
I put the fuses for 220 volt operation. When the new power cord arrived it also
INCLUDED a set of the correct fuses.
 Thanks ELECRAFT.  You
guys are AWSOME!

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft -- HK0NA DXpedition

[Ian Maude]

Although smaller than most of the other dxpeditions, our trip to Tiree
(Inner Hebrides, MS0WRC) last October used 4 K3's (all owned by team
members) and one FT2K.  We made 12500 Q's in the week on SSB and CW and
continually got unsolicited complimentary audio reports from them.  There
was one posting on Youtube from a Russian in his car working me on 20m and
I have to say my audio sounded great! :)  The one audio complaint we got
was from the Yaesu.  The other issue we found in the week was a noise which
we originally thought was interaction but despite fitting stubs we could
not clear it.  It turned out to be phase noise from the Yaesu!  No problems
at all with the 4 K3's and a great time was had by all :)  The K3 is a
fabulous dxpedition radio, we only had one KPA500 and that was on the CW
station.  That is one very boring amplifier, it just sat in the corner and
worked its socks off ;)

Thanks guys

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft -- HK0NA DXpedition

[Gary K9GS]

When it comes to amplifiers, boring is definitely good.

A long time ago I was operating a DX contest at a multi-op.  One of the 
amplifier power supplies was in a heavy steel cabinet on casters 
underneath the operating table about 4 feet away.  It was about 3 am and 
very quiet in the shack (CW contest and only a few people 
awake/operating) when the capacitor bank in the power supply let loose.  
I saw the flash first and a split second later felt the BOOM.  It was 
like being in a house that was just hit by lightening and literally 
sounded like a shotgun going off next to my head; and I was wearing a 
headset.

Kinda wakes ya up :))

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft -- HK0NA DXpedition

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

According to latest info on the DXpedition's Clublog page,from N2OO:

All logs have been uploaded except for one small log which must wait 
until the team returns to the mainland. I do not know what band/mode or 
specific timeframe log is on that laptop but it was from February. The 
log is not lost. Just a problem with that laptop.

 The VP6T logs were great. The best was a Liberian expedition last year

Iain, 

I have a 5000A RX2 and don't use a KPA 5000 but I do have a Kenwood 922A.  Here 
are a couple of things for you to check.  The easiest is to check the Antenna 
tab at the top of the main form and make sure the Switch Relay with TR section 
has something checked.  On my rig it's TX1 (Red).  For some reason, every time 
I power down PowerSDR I have to recheck it.  With out it, your Flex won't key 
the linear. 

If that's okay, reset your database.  I have had databases get corrupted and I 
was getting no power or low power out.  You may want to go through the tabs 
first and write down your settings if you don't have them already. 

Good luck!

[Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft -- HK0NA DXpedition

[cqbilld]

Surprised the lack of comments on this subject, unless I missed it. I do want 
to thank the Elecraft gang for their support of the HK0NA operation. I have 
been a ham for 57yrs and had NEVER chased a single HF DXpedition, but I got the 
bug with this one. What an amazing performance by the DXpedition team in all 
respects. The collection of operators was outstanding and the Elecraft gear 
sounded great. I wonder how many of the team had actually used a K3 before the 
DXpedition? I'm guessing more of them will be in the future! Hi Hi 

I worked them on 14 - band/modes with 100w and nothing but dipoles on 
160/80/40/20. Thank heavens for antenna tuners. I was shut out on 80, 160 and 
6m but heard them on both 80 and 160 well enough to call them, just too much 
competition and tropical QRN on their end. 

Thanks again Elecraft, well done. Some fun photos involving Elecraft gear on 
the DXpedition website under Island Reports and Photos 
See HK0NA dot com.

Thanks for noticing, Bill :) The HK0NA crew certainly did a great job,  
as have other recent DXpeditions using K3s, etc.

DXpedition use of our gear has been a source of input and inspiration  
for us, and we provide a lot of support to the teams. Many hardware  
and firmware refinements now in shipping products can be traced to the  
kind of stresses put on the gear in inhospitable terrain and climate.

We're now looking forward to a few micro DXpeditions featuring the  
KX3.

Yes, and more DXPeditions would be using K3s if the JA companies didn't 
have deeper pockets than Elecraft.  Think about the cost of doing that 
for a small company the size of Elecraft, and you realize that it isn't 
easy.  For one trip that I was aware of the details, Eric could provide 
two radios, but Icom gave them a half dozen 7600s and even paid 
shipping, but demanded exclusivity.. On later trips that same group made 
the decision for K3s, and I don't think they were supported by Elecraft!

VP6T and TN2T set the standard when it comes to handling logs and
confirmations.  Unlike HK0NA who appear to have lost significant
sections of their logs, VP6T had *confirmations* on Logbook of the
World daily along with ClubLog updates and TN2T had their logs on
LotW seemingly before getting home.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft -- HK0NA DXpedition

[Milt -- N5IA]

AND the original, highly successful, multiple record setting K3 DXped to 
VP6DX.

That one set the stage for all the succeeding K3 DXpeds that have built upon 
the success of VP6DX.

And HK0NA will NOT be the last.  More K3 DXpeds are in the works.

How time flies.  It is difficult to believe that 4 years ago today (the

That would include recent expeditions VP6T and TN2T, and no doubt
others as well. A great field test for the gear, and a great way to
make ops all over the world aware of Elecraft radios. And of course,
great gear with which to actually operate a DXpedition.

The HK0NA operation was outstanding in every way, and will be a great
role model for future expeditions.

Ah yes, sad but true, Joe. I forgot about that because it didn't
happen to hit me. Judging from their posts, they may be able to
recover the missing sections. This is purely a guess but they did
retrieve some of the lost QSOs while still on the island. Luckily,
they were so loud for so long that everyone had many chances to snag
them on any given band/mode, and re-work them if necessary.

The VP6T logs were great. The best was a Liberian expedition last year
that had real-time logging; your call was in the on-line log before
the last dit had died away.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks Elecraft -- HK0NA DXpedition

[Keith Heimbold]

It is a bummer that with my work and travel schedule they lost one of my five 
contacts with them but oh well life goes on. Maybe I will get lucky and they 
will recover them.

Funny about TN2T because about two hours after I paid for the QSL card handling 
I received the LOTW confirms. Now I will be doubly confirmed for the Congo.

Thanks to all who replied. It was the PTT cable that had somehow come loose. 
Still can't figure out how though.

[Elecraft] Thanks for the frequency locking on 2m (internal)

[grumss]

Locking module installed, frequency stability much-much better!!! (2M
internal transverter)
Now very suitable for modes such as WJST Thanks ELECRAFT

Interestingly enough, the radio seems to have a frequency error over the
range of  bands? (measured on GPS locked F-counter) Not enough to be of much
concern on HF though.
(ie, if 50Mhz is calibrated to 50.000.000 then 7Mhz is 7.000.010 for
example)

cheers, Graham VK3XDK

[Elecraft] Thanks, another question, and a little background.

[Dan B Dyer Jr,/Danny]

First, thanks to Wayne, Don, Bruce, and Jeff, for your helpful notes and 
answers to yesterdays inquiries.  *I was afraid those answers would actually be 
pretty much set in software and or stone, but I can dream can't I?
At any rate, thanks for a great product and group.
*Question, is there room in the T1 for a Piezo to work in concert with or 
instead of the lites, to give audible cw readout?
*In terms of freq read out, I have an MCount, Freqmite, StingerSinger, and 
Millenium QSYER, but wanting to work ped mobile with my 817ND, small 
antenna/MFJ1899T and some of the  MFJ and or Maldol Monobanders,/and i know 
they're all compromise ants, but my expectations are pretty much in line with 
physics.  Anyway, being blind as the proverbial bat/no hearts and flowers, just 
fact, I figure as few extra little boxes as possible between the rig and 
antenna, is the goal here.
But if all else fails, one of my counters in a shirt pocket, with a short wire 
running from counters' ant jack  and wound around the base of the rigs' antenna 
should make it happen well enough to make a go.  *I have a number of memories 
programmed into the radio separated by Broadcast stations to divide groups, 
and this has been, and will continue to be a great adventure.  Again, thanks to 
all, Danny Dyer, Wb4idu, Toccoa, GA, USA.

[Vic K2VCO]

Thanks to everyone that answered my OT question about getting capacitor goop 
off of PC 
boards. I managed to remove about 8 leaking SMD aluminum can capacitors without 
destroying 
it, cleaned it with alcohol flux remover, then distilled water, and replaced 
the caps. 
Success! My old TS850S works again.

This used to be THE contest radio. But time and technology have passed it by. 
It's worth 
keeping, though. It has a good general coverage receiver and dynamic range 
similar to the 
K2. And it's not a bad SSB rig, if you like that stuff.

Apparently the board -- the carrier oscillator board -- is famous for having 
been built 
with caps that go bad after 20 years or so (my radio was built in 1991). This 
would never 
happen to an Elecraft product!

Being able to calibrate the display level indication makes it feel almost like
