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

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks for all the portable operation photos so far
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. 73 - Jim K8MR -Original Message- From: Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft <e...@elecraft.com> To: Wayne Burdick <n...@elecraft.com> Cc: Elecraft Reflector <elecraft@mailman.qth.net>; KX3 <k...@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Fri, Sep 1, 2017 7:28 am Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Thanks for all the portable operation photos so far Wayne,These should be forwarded to Margaret and me for our promo use.Ericelecraft.com_..._> On Aug 29, 2017, at 2:50 PM, Wayne Burdick <n...@elecraft.com> wrote:> > I’ve received so many great photos already that I won’t be able to thank everyone personally.

Re: [Elecraft] Thanks to all
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. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/10/2016 8:12 PM, Louis Ives wrote: I would like to thank everybody that responded to my questions about upgrading my K-3.

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 Jerry k1tgx __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] Thanks to all on the List
Hi to the List, I must say a big thank you to the you all for the advice particularly over the last week. I have now sorted the problem of R116 by using a 5.6 M Ohm resister. I have also now completed the Stage 2 Alignment. It's very nice to hear signals of all sorts on 40m. Now onto the PA stage and the KSB2 module. Hopefully up and running on digital within the next couple of weeks :) Once that's done i have the Noise Blanker, Audio Filter RS232 port and The 100w PA to do. The 100w PA will be the last section. I'll run the K2 QRP for most of the time even with the 100w PA in situ. I certainly will have a fair bit to talk about at my local radio club once the K2 is complete. Hopefully I will win the Clubs construction contest this year but it will also be the first year I've entered as previously I've not had something worth entering :) 73 Gary Gary McKelvie G7USC Web : www.garym.org.uk Mobile : +447968501863 MSN Messenger : [EMAIL PROTECTED] So Long and Thanks for all the Fish ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

K1-4, KAT1 serial 2269 is now complete and calibrated. This would have been a lot more difficult without the great people on this forum and great support from Gary at Elecraft. I hooked up a 100' wire stretched across a couple of low trees to see how the KAT1 tunes up. 3.6 to 1 on 40m 2.6 to 1 on 30m 1.8 to 1 on 20m 1.5 to 1 on 15m I don't know if I should expect better SWR on 40m and 30m but I'm not too worried about it right now. I will be moving into my new house in a month and will be putting up a better (stealth unfortunately) antenna. Also I am still working on my code and haven't had my first HF QSO yet.
