[Elecraft] BL2 Enclosure

Just completed the assembly of the Elecraft BL2 balun. Nice unit, but I'm a tad disappointed that there is no enclosure for it, optional or included. Since there are exposed electronic connections on it, and because I'll be connecting it to 450-ohm ladder line that handles line barbed wire, I ha

That is a pretty good description of how the KX3 NR works right now, except it doesn’t have a graphic UI. From the release notes for 1.47: The RX NR menu entry can be used to adjust all three NR parameters (B=beta, D=decay, M=wet/dry mix). The M parameter now has a range of 0-10, matching the

Re: [Elecraft] BNC Connector on KXe

Aaron, The most likely cause is that the nut on the BNC jack has worked loose. It should be easy to tighten, although you will likely have to remove the 2 meter option (if you have it) and the KXAT3. See page 25 of the KX3 Assembly Manual. Use a wrench to tighten the nut, and while tightening

Re: [Elecraft] BNC Connector on KX3

If you mean the whole connector is loose on the KX3, you have to get inside and tighten the nut holding it on to the box.  I just did this, and it was easier than I thought.  You have to open up the radio and look where the connector is attached.  I had a 2-meter board and an ATU board underneat

Re: [Elecraft] A very desirable capability

One point I've observed is the fact the noise on a given band may not be the same from day to day, or week to week.  Thus I find it necessary to tweak the values of NR and NB for best performance. Same issues with band to band, i.e. what I need on 80M is no where close to what I need on 6M in t

Re: [Elecraft] A very desirable capability

Peter, Since "one size" does not fit all noise sources, I believe that what you suggest is not practical. It may be that something could be done to provide the most useful noise reduction for "average noise", but the closest to that right now would be the default settings in the K3/K3S. If y

No problem if you come to Alaska. Most 6m activity is 50 - 50.300, 52.525 and one repeater in Anchorage on 52.81 (51.11 input) which is not usable 100km (65 mi) south of Anchorage using a 24-foot high J-pole (only 20% quieting) and requires over 100w to access. In my opinion 6m ground-wave s*

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Band Plans

It's certainly a strange situation, reaching the "band edge" at 53 MHz. I'll have to admit, I've never tuned up that high in the band to see if I have the same situation with my KX3. I know that there are a number of repeaters here in EPA, and I'm sure some must be using that last MHz of the
