[Elecraft] KPA500 vs THP HL-550FX

Hi Roy and all I own a HL-550FX. At the time I bought it for DXpeditions the KPA-500 had not been released yet. Just to make the comparison fair, it does not take 5 minutes do reset after an alarm. You will need to turn it on/off and it will go to normal state again. Regarding the input power le

[Elecraft] Juice MG4 speaker

I bought this one for my iPad. Also works well with KX3. Costs about $35.00. Very small and rugged. I get distortion from this and the internal speaker with volume >30. So I assume the internal speaker is working as it should. Distortion seems to be an electronic problem. Fortunately, there is

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 vs THP HL-550FX

Fred and all, My personal opinion is that virtually all manufacturer's, well perhaps all but two, produce fine products that appear to meet pretty much all of our requirements. Some of us even place these products in rather extreme conditions that manufacturers would rather we didn't do. By and l

Dick, I am using a West Mountain Radio PWRspkr 15W for mobile. It requires 12vdc but the distortion is now gone as I only need to run the audio @ 15. I am NOT using the KX3 as a portable walk-around transceiver though. Strictly Mobile or Desktop operation. 73 gary On 17 February 2013 23:56, Dic

Re: [Elecraft] Juice MG4 speaker

Dick Is this the same one that New Egg had in the link? I wondered if it might be the radio because it's possible to get VG sound from small speakers anymore and I'm sure that Elecraft would not skimp a dollar or two on a good speaker. If so I will have a speaker ($13) for my iPad anyway 8>). 73

Hi Fred I agree lots of good amps and I have owned several 6 different ones they have ran from worked to excellent. My last 3 IMHO have been standouts the first a Yaesu VL-1000 used it with 3 Yaesu radios from FT-2000 (2) of them to a FTDX-5000MP and my K3 that amp was 4 yrs old when I sold it not

Re: [Elecraft] Mast Mounted Preamp

The PR6 is controlled by either the DIGOUT1 line in the ACC connector, or with the jumper installed, it is connected with the RX ANT button (not the PRE button). So I don't see how you could use either the PRE button or the RX ANT button. You could use the DIGOUT1 signal to operate a 5 volt rel

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 vs THP HL-550FX

Hi All, A nice comparison of the KPA500 and the THP amp. Pros and cons for either I'm sure. However, the question of weight makes me curious. As a KPA500 owner I know that there isn't much inside the KPA500 that adds a lot of weight other than that nice, husky transformer. Erroneously, per

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 vs THP HL-550FX

Dave- The THP amp uses a switching power supply, the KPA500 uses a linear supply. There's the major difference in weight. You don't need the heavy transformer in a switcher, but it's harder to make the power supply "radio quiet" without detectable birdies in the ham bands. 73, Bruce, N1RX __

I fitted a commercial EMI filter (intended for 240V AC operation) inside my P3. It is a fully sealed unit with solder tags. This unit was connected in the + and - DC supply line. This filter completely removed any trace of noise from the power cord to the P3. I used a short coax with a one inch

Re: [Elecraft] ATT level

Hi Jorge, Assuming you are asking about the K3, No there is no easy way without modifying the unit, to make the ATT greater than the fixed amount. Why not just reduce the RF gain? -Bruce, N1RX > Hi > Is any way to increase ATT level? How many dB´s ATT is reducing? >Seems not enough this weekend!
