Re: [Elecraft] Battery Mod for K2 battery pack (was : Battery Pack Mod for the KX3)

Johnny, While this is a good suggestion, given the age of the K2 and the lack of engineering time for the Elecraft designers, I don't think it will be a change coming from Elecraft. It is however a good suggestion to reduce the weight and operating time for a portable K2/10. I think it

[Elecraft] Battery Mod for K2 battery pack (was : Battery Pack Mod for the KX3)

Similarly, with the advance in battery technology, the lead acid battery in K2 should be now advanced to a LiFePo pack as well.  There are ample space inside the K2 for installing a new charging circuit board.  This will greatly reduce the weight of a battery powered K2 and give much longer

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 age

I would agree that there is very little if anything in a KPA500 to deteriorate solely from age, unless we're talking about hundreds of years. That said, perhaps John is concerned that, if the seller is not being truthful about the age, he may not be truthful about other things as well, such

Doug, The Cady books are still on the order page. Look on the order page at the bottom of the K3S order area. This is just above the order area for the P3. I didn't look for the other stuff, but I'm sure it is still there. Look on the order page in the KX3 area. Mark Musick, WB9CIF -Original

I'd definitely buy an LiFePO4 pack and INTERNAL charger board upgrade too. But only if the batteries can be charged while inside the KX3. I'd leave it the way it is if it meant opening the case to remove the batteries for charging. 73's Peter VK4JD -Original Message- From: Elecraft

It's unclear what you mean by "unclear". :=) Perhaps averaging is turned on. You can turn it off by HOLDing the AVERAGE key twice. You might also try switching between tracking and fixed-tune modes. These can be changed via the FixTrack menu selection. Alan N1AL On 07/05/2016 08:15
