[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,     It is definitely the rainy season; only a few times has the rain actually stopped.  No gulley washers, just steady, soaking rain.  The smell of the forest changes a great deal from the dry summer spice to the musky, wet scents of decay.  If anything the steady rain of fir

It is a dynamic mike of which is typical of all dynamic mikes that exhibit proximity effect.  The closer to the mouth, the more bottom end.  It is a mike to mouth distance issue and 1" to 2"  or so makes a big difference. It is not deficient in high end, it has an abundance of low end. If it

I have found the best headset to be the RadioSport that has interchangeable mics to use with my Elecraft and Flex 6xxx series radios.73, Fred/N0AZZ Original message From: Michael Walker Date: 11/11/17 9:07 PM (GMT-06:00) To: Bob McGraw K4TAX

VOX is KX3 is pretty good. But outside it is activated by wind. Elecraft sells KX3-PCKT cables that include the PTT connection. CM-500 is fine if you are on a limited budget or don't try anything else. After buying Sennheiser PC350, CM500 (worn by time) is gathering dust. For KX3, I am using

I have used the Koss SB40 as well, but I think you will find there is no high end on the Mic and you really have to do some EQ work to make it sound normal. 73, mike va3mw On Sat, Nov 11, 2017 at 5:32 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: > I use the Koss SB-40 which has a dynamic

I use the Koss SB-40 which has a dynamic mike. No bias needed. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 11, 2017, at 3:51 PM, wrote: > > I was also confused by the posts that the CM500 works best with bias off. > Thanks for explaining why this works only with

I was also confused by the posts that the CM500 works best with bias off. Thanks for explaining why this works only with the KX3/KX2. John KK9A Don Wilhelm wrote: Sat Nov 11 10:23:55 EST 2017 Yes, all electret microphones must have bias applied in some manner. I am not certain why you think

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: CM500 best price/use with

Don, thanks for the explanation.  When I set up my KX2 for SSB (rarely used) I tried a lite weight Logitech computer headset. Going against conventional wisdom, I found it sounded better with the MIC BIAS OFF, now I know why.  The MIC BIAS entry in the Menu Functions section of the manual does

Walter had the best suggestions so I will follow up in that direction. VOX is not a good choice so PTT is needed and Walter has it covered. Interesting info on logic vs mic bias, etal. Microwave gear is near as complicated as doing eme. I have transverter, separate 2w PA, separate preamp,

Re: [Elecraft] kxpd3 question

Eric and all, Will all due respect, I couldn’t disagree with you more! First, I don’t think it is accurate to suggest that CW was used to keep people out of the hobby. The requirement for this skill was much less obtuse than that. It was simply due to the fact that CW was/is probably the

Knut, Yes, all electret microphones must have bias applied in some manner. I am not certain why you think this is a KX3 "problem". The tip and ring connected together is a characteristic of all microphones intended primarily for computer use - and the Yamaha CM500 is one of those. The ham

Re: [Elecraft] KX3: CM500 best price/use with

Hi, This thread had me thoroughly confused for a while, but I now realize that it applies to the KX3 and KX3 *only*. It does *not* apply to the K3 which *must* have bias turned on to use any Electret microphone, whether by Heil, Yamaha or Koss. In the K3 the ring on the microphone socket is
