Re: [Elecraft] K2 Problem - I let some smoke out

Mike, I suspect that the 80 meter receive problem has nothing to do with the 12 volt power trace incident. Do you have the K160RX option installed? If so, check the menu to see if the RX ANT is ON for 80 meters. That is a per band setting. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/18/2013 7:31 PM, Mike Murray

I just confirmed that the opposite-sideband image is way down. I believe John was hearing the effect of the notch at 1500 Hz, which is a characteristic of Weaver demodulation. When you inject a carrier and sweep through the SSB passband, the existence of the notch can make it appear that you're

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and whats next from Elecraft

Don is right. Elecraft has never come up with a "new model" of any of their rigs for you to buy. Instead they improve the existing models and make the improvements 'retrofittable' to existing units.

Trevor, The K3 is not going to be replaced anytime soon IMHO. In fact, the K3 did not 'replace' the K2 which is still going strong after almost 14 years. Yes, the K2 is a mature product, but Elecraft fully supports it (and can be expected to continue for some long time to come). As an exam
