I'm playing with JT65-HF. I have no problem with reception. When I send
a message (48 seconds of key-down at 5 W) the message is sent correctly
but after transmission stops the front panel controls are frozen. By

I certainly can't quantify it, but it seems to me that the APF does not work as

as it did before 4.51.

Great! That should be good for about a 1 kilogram knob. Above that,
we might need a double set of tapered roller bearings.

This has been discussed many times before, Ron, and I believe there was a
warning that the use of heavier knobs could render the Elecraft warranty nul
and void. In the UK we tend to require smaller knobs, but maybe that's
because we have smaller fingers ;-)

I wonder if anyone has studied the long-term effects on the encoder bushings
and shafts that must support those knobs? AFAIK, it's just a simple bushing
- no ball or roller bearing races - so all of the wear is on the lower side
of the bushing.

Just guessing here, some elucidation on why you want to remote would be
helpful.
There are some number of reasons to run the KPA and KAT (near where the
coax comes into the house?) in the basement. One is not having a long
ground attached to the amplifier, putting RF on a lot more of the house.
Has anyone experienced this? After years of faithful service the ATU Tune
button on my K3/100 has stopped responding. I can switch between antennas 1
and 2, step through the Ls and Cs, and bypass the ATU, all in the
configuration menu but not with the front panel button. I tried a reset but
no joy
For just getting rid of key clicks, set your NB to t1-7 with IF OFF. This
was the prior best method for clicks before 4.51, but 4.51 has improved it,
and t2-7 is not needed except for really bad key clicks. t1-7 appears to
be good for 5 S units of suppression in 4.51.
I got on in WPX tuning up
WHY? Set your knobs for very little or no drag at all. Why replace them
with non-standard knobs so you can spin them? Mine spin very well when
needed. I turn my knobs with one finger riding on the outside edge of the
knob and tuning does not place virtually any pressure on the knob at all.
Yes, set the CW decode THRESHOLD to a setting of 3, and the speed from
30-90 wpm and the CWT should work just fine.
I have the AGC threshold set to 14, and SLP to 3 but don't think that does
much at such a low setting.

John,
RS232 has a reliability issue past 50'. I have seen it work up to 60'
with DDS circuits using CAT5 as the conductor and RJ45-to-DB9 / DB25
connectors. After that, all bets are off.
BTW, this is not anecdotal, this is my experience in the real world.
