Re: [Elecraft] [K3S] K3S High SWR Shutdown on FT8?

Why on earth bother with the tuner in the radio, when you've matched the antenna to the feeder at the feed point? All your doing is adding extra loss to both the TX and RX path. If the match (indicated by VSWR at the rig end of things) is changing during the 15 second FT8 transmission period, tha

Hi, I happen to be in Europe for a few weeks of holidays and wanted to use my old K2 that I never imported into Singapore for some QSO's. I'm facing an issue with the LCD randomly flickering and displaying the power and speed. I have also experienced that when I'm in the middle of a QSO the spee

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Random LCD display - Speed and Power

Martin, While that may happen rarely in any K2 - when the firmware is quite busy, your video shows it happening frequently, which is abnormal. The most common cause of that behavior is in late K2s with the new encoder - the one with the encoder board that sits close to the control board. If

Not a replacement ear pad, but if you get a new headset, you might want to cover them with a "Garfield Headphone Softie." These covers protect the original ear pad and, IMHO, make the headphones more comfortable on the ear. I use them on my CM500 headset and my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. http
