Re: [Elecraft] Has anyone recently got a K2 Kit with the NEW main Knob, Does it Fit?

2017-04-12 Thread Cameron Francey
You had me wondering so I just popped out to the shack to check on all the manuals and errata sheets that came with my June 2016 K2 and the later one in January 2017. Both came with errata revision A March 2012. I see now that there is a newer errata sheet revision B from November 2016. http:/

I will just add a little as so not repeat anyone else. An integrated pan adapter into the face of the radio is much better than an external unit. You see the whole picture at once. An external pan adapter is distracting. Customer service is valuable to me. I define that as Eric and Wayne showing up

When I ordered my K2 (end of January) it came in with the old style knob not the one that was in the Errata sheet (same style as the KX3). After a series of calls and e-mails I finally got Elecraft to send the knob only to find that it does not fit correctly as the encoder shaft is too long s

Not completely off topic since it is for my K3. Does anyone know of a way to run one of the JT65 variants on an iPad Pro? Apple's new MacBook Pro pricing is making me rethink replacing my current MBP. 73 Don NA6Z K3 #5495 __ Elecraft maili

I noted posts regarding EME echoes, we had a problem at VE3ONT with the Algonquin Radio Observatory 150 foot dish operation in 1994. We were running an 8877 into the dish so our ERP was a few MW on 144 Mhz. Every time we sent a test SSB signal we got QRMed 2 sec later with a 20 over S9 signal
