Greetings,
I had the opportunity to operate once again from Grand Cayman from October 18 -
22. In the past, I carried my FT-1000MP, IC-746 PRO and this year my K3.
Previously, I used Pelican cases to transport the tranceivers. This year, I
used one of Rose Copp's bags and carried the K3,
Another very good idea.
tnx

Hi Joe,
Each of these apps requires its own serial port - a dilemma, since the K3
has only one
One solution is to install LP_Bridge. (See the LP-PAN site.)
This app connects SDR to the K3 and provides three additional virtual ports.
We are using it here at the ranch to run SDR, Skimmer,
Please also note that SW is a component in MTBF, for embedded systems
(SDRs) like the K3. This is also true in consumer electronics (where
I'm stuck for the moment). We figure in SW failures as a statistical
value, but don't really count them as a full failure unless a unit is
bricked and

I use a 1.6 mm chisel tip on my Hakko 936 soldering station for 99.9% of my
circuit board work including building and modifying the Elecraft K2, KX1, XV
transverters, and a variety of mini-modules, homebrewing lots of stuff and
repairing commercial gear.
The challenge is to transfer heat
Jeff,
You may be splitting hairs, but I prefer a 1.60 mm ( 1/16 inch) chisel
tip for most of my soldering.
The flat on the tip allows sufficient area to conduct heat onto most
solder pads, and work well for me.
More important than the size of the tip is to heat both the solder pad
and the

DIGOUT1 is an open-drain output that can be used to turn on loads by
pulling them to ground. The DIGOUT1 line is controlled from the menu
(CONFIG:DIGOUT1).
DIGOUT1 is per-band (and also per-antenna if you have a KAT3 ATU
installed).
Thanks for the idea, Wayne! I'm starting to get the

I worked you with a K3 and an Alpha-76, feeding either a 4-sq or a switchable

Wayne sed:
When you assign an Mx switch to a macro (or as a menu shortcut), the
firmware checks to see if that Mx switch now has *both* tap and hold
functions assigned. If not, it sets both of them to the same
assignment (the macro or the menu shortcut). This avoids some
potential side
