Re: [Elecraft] CQ WPX and the KSYN3A board?

I was on only sporadically, wedding to attend on Sat and most of Sun was at granddaughter's softball tournament. It is however probably the best workout I've given the new synthesizer, and the improvements in QSK and CW stability are remarkable and obvious. I rarely noticed any phase noise wi

Anyone have experience using the PigKnob with the K2? I'm thinking of using my K2 for SO2R, but the ergonomics are difficult - the PigKnob would fix that. I use one with my K3. Bill K6IFF -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Pigknob-and-K2-tp7603701.html Sent

I agree with Dwight's description of the new synthesizers in the K3. I also did a few hours in the WPX contest, where the QRM can get bad, but this time, no one could sneak up close to me to take over the QRG and I was able to log a little over 1000 QSO's. Loud signals certainly were less of a prob

I did participate, part time, but weathered thru about 1000 q's. Received both boards and installed about 3 hours before the contest. I was amazed how close qrm could be to a weak signal and not affect it at all. Noticeable difference from the old boards indeed! Plus the rig seems quieter as w

My mistake. Fldigi and Flarq are both running under Ubuntu directly. The ppa that Kamal Mostafa runs has very stable Linux versions. I'm all hung up on getting wine to run M110A, and I'm stuck on that. Sorry for the confusion. 73, matt W6NIA On Wed, 03 Jun 2015 09:12:29 -0600, you wrote: >It

It would make a lot more sense to run fldigi directly under ubuntu rather adding in the complex layer of wine. flrig is a very simple rig control program - but it does work very well running on ubuntu variants and most other distros. 73, Doug -- K0DXV On 6/3/15 7:46 AM, Matt Zilmer wrote: T
