Re: [Elecraft] Just RX'd KX3 Serial No. 10,028!

Yep, 1998 I believe. I built mine in 2000 and it was S/N 1289 after working several of them on the air the previous year or so. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bill Johnson Sent: Wednesday,

[Elecraft] K2 S/N.7723 Lives :)

Just to say, that 7723 is alive and kicking albeit in a bare bones QRP CW only format for the time being. I bought this as a way to pass a little time stuck out in the desert and it did the job superbly. Initial testing went well though I am a little concerned that the 20m sensitivity is a

I think the K2 was available pre 2000 and I was a field tester. 72 & 73, Bill K9YEQ, FT'er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100, KAT500, W2, etc. -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Doug Person Sent: Wednesday, November

Re: [Elecraft] Just RX'd KX3 Serial No. 10,028!

Today on the SOTA mailing list, an activator in England (FT-817) reported trying to work an activator in the Canary Islands (KX2). The KX2 operator could copy, but the FT-817 operator could not. I couldn’t quite figure out from the post whether it was SSB or CW. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood

Re: [Elecraft] Just RX'd KX3 Serial No. 10,028!

I used the FT-817 for a long time for QRP CW, RTTY and PSK using a NUE-PSK digital modem. It was as great combination and a lot of fun. I now have a KX2 which , obviously, is very superior to the old 817. Yet it was a very revolutionary radio that could do an incredible number of things. I

Hmm, really doesn't matter (to me) who's first in sales. 10,000 sounds like a success and probably means it was a profitable venture (only Wayne and Eric know what the break even point was). As a (former) small business owner, I know that is not trivial to estimate. Even more important to

[Elecraft] Just RX'd KX3 Serial No. 10,028!

The Yaesu FT-817 was in stores November 2000 & still a very sought after QRP rig. I remember reading somewhere it was the leader in sales of a rig that was still in production today. I bought one in November 2000 & still going strong, but it is no KX3. 73, Reed W4JZ Collins... 817...

Hi All, I'm looking for replacement earpads for my Yamaha CM500. Yahama does not sell in EU. I know some use Koss replacements. I can get Koss over here in EU. I just need to know which type does fit the Yamaha CM500. Any advise please. 73 de Dick PA3FQA

You are mistaken. 25' of ladderline is only about a tenth of a wavelength and does not invert impedance. I suggest you download Dan's TLDetails program: http://ac6la.com/tldetails1.html and play with it.  Put in what you think, or have measured, the feedpoint Z is then select one of the Wireman
