I switch between keys frequently using a variety of straight keys, bugs,
cooties and paddles, sometimes during a QSO. It would be a royal pain to
have any kind of permanent mounting. I have a couple of pieces of
leather I got from a Tandy store years ago. Michael's also has nice
pieces about 3x

Good steer, Rick. S
Good Evening,
Propagation was rather good this week with the normal summer QRN
and some QSB. Weather was pleasant, if cool. Our normal dry season had
a few very light showers. Luckily the fog the stormy weather brings
provides enough moisture to keep the forests from burning. Fall is

John,
I have them both plugged into the 12V RCA jack using a "Y" adapter. No problem
so far.

This and related products solve all my paddle jitter problems. Much
stickier than the rubber shelving liners I'd used in the past.

If its moving around, I might drill holes in a board that match the feet of
the key and set it down on into the holes. Bolt, glue, clamp the board down
to your table as you see fit.

You don't need a heavier paddle. Just museum wax on each foot. Press into
position. Your paddle will stay put and not leave any marks if you decide to
pry it up.

I have spoken with him several times.
I got my Bravo 7KR very fast. I am going to order his 40/80 vertical dipole
when it is ready.
I know he was backed up for a while, but have had no problem contacting him
directly by e-mail.
PS - Great performing antennas too.
Thanks

I have been relearning to send CW again. I am using a Bencher/Elecraft Hex
Key Serial # E067.
It is a typical bencher key with a weight of 3 lbs 2 ounces. I guess I am
heavy handed and have been slapping that thing around the desk like a red
headed step child. lol.
I went and looked for a heavy ke
I'm getting K3 PL1 Error and no transmitter output.
After cooling a bit, PL1 voltage measures 5.9 volts. I get intermittent
output when I send a string of dits with PL1 voltage showing 5.9 volts when
a dit gets transmitted and 0.0 volts when a dit doesn't get transmitted.
Help please. Any suggest
Hmmm indeed. That's the same way Washington DC works. Donations.

Thanks guys.
I guess I'll have to mod the K3 to supply 1 amp.

Power the P3 from the same supply the K3 is powered from.

You could build a relay box, fed from the Aux out and feed the PR6 & the P3
from that, the power for the relay box would need to come from the same PSU
that is powering the K3 or a different PSU - but turning the K3 on would power
up the other units

I am using PR6 with my K3 and power for it is supplied via the RCA 12 VDC out
on the back of the K3.
Where may I supply the P3 power from the K3? Do I need another power supply
for the P3?
Thanks
John.

Has anybody measured TX delay in KX3?
I tried to use it with 2 QSK amps, and KX3 seems to hot switch. Not a
problem with K3 default.

When tapping the ON button to power off the KPA500, the unit still
remains in ON state unless the rocker switch on the rear panel is used.
The box is still warm (very little), a quiet 50 Hz hum is barely
audible. Can be the KPA left in this state or must I use the bottom
rocker switch to power

The KAT500 in my remote "hut" has got a little more company:

Stan,
First check the menu CAL CUR setting. It should be set at 3.50 - if it
is lower, that would explain the HiCur messages.
Check your power supply voltage. It should be 13.8 volts or higher (up
to 14.5 volts). The K2 tries to maintain the requested power output,
and if the voltage is l
The transistors arrived yesterday and I did ALL Don advised.
Everything checked out and I replaced the transistors with amazing ease.
All the diodes appeared healthy and the voltage was spot on.
Start to finish and being very careful, it took about 4 hours.
I'm getting 100 watts out and all is well
