Fred, I’ve just appended my copy of your book to read: The Hitchhikers’ Guide
to the Elecraft KX2.
Thank you!

Good Evening,
The wind has been howling all day but the antennas are still up and
the power is still on. So I spent the day watching the Masters and
practicing CW with my left hand. After the first week or so it felt
less strange. The biggest problem I have is to remember how to send

Looks like there's a discount on Fred's book. I think that's a great
thing to get if you don't have it already. I have two of them (two

Hi, Barry,
It's not the signals that determine whether you need a preamp, it's the noise
level. A receiver should have enough gain to put its internal noise floor below
the external, atmospheric noise floor, so that it doesn't become the limiting
factor in hearing weak signals close to the noise
I learn subjects more readily if they keep from diving into the
mathematics on page one. I don't find the math difficult it just
distracts me from the broad brush strokes of concepts. Once I get the
idea firmly in my head the mathematics helps me dig deeper. But starting
with the math just me
That’s a great book, “The Art of Electronics”. Horowitz and Hill, Harvard and

though, in EE courses and found that to be a plus. Math with an application.
Seemed like I was always taking the math course after I learne
What about cooling of the heatsink?
Or is the unit just for "show"?

I often see posts from US stations questioning the need for any preamp below
20m and just now challenging the need for preamp 2 on 10m.
That may be all well and good in the land of the huge antennas and the
thousands of big signals from the US and Europe but let me tell you that down
here, when

Many thanks to everyone who responded! I have a clearer understanding now.
It reminds me of my own EE student days. I found learning electronics
challenging because our texts started with math and the useful
properties of this or that circuit kind of fell out as a side effect or
mini-miracle
What makes the KE7X Elecraft book different than the Elecraft owner’s manuals?
Let’s start by saying the KE7X books do not have any information needed to
operate the radios that is not in the Elecraft Owner’s manuals. Owner’s
manuals are by design succinct and concise descriptions of the control
Fred's manuals are more detailed and give more background on how or why
you might use a particular control instead of just what it does. I own
his manuals for both the K3 and the KX2 and they were well worth it.

Fair question. From my perspective...
Elecraft manuals are well written and follow the pattern of all
manufacturer's User Manuals. They are like the "dash one" in the set of
Air Force Tech Orders for some piece of equipment ... "How to fly the
airplane." They describe how to configure cable

Hi Mike,
Fred's K3 manual is much more detailed than the Elecraft manual.
I rarely use my Elecraft manual.
My favorite is the pdf edition which is computer searchable

Fred and all,
Can you describe in general how your books differ from Elecraft manuals?
I haven't found Elecaft manuals to be lacking and very much like how
direct and concise they are. Your books are popular, making me wonder
what you've added?
Tnx es 73!

I looked for the K3S book a while ago on Lulu during one of these sales

It is probably still that way.

Phil,
Almost worth the trip from Georgia - my very favorite roll-around when in
broadcasting.
The 475 at the transmitter could display the carrier on channel 12.
I get nostalgic when I see test equipment from my younger days.

I have recently been using the 6m ARR GaAsFET Preamp ahead of my K3S. I also
find that it has lower noise and perhaps more gain. The proof is that I have
been able to work moonrise/moonset EME with it (no elevation on my antenna).
