We start the outdoor QRP Season each year with FYBO in February. The there's a long wait until the Spring Classics - QRP To The Field and the Cookie Crumble Contest. Then in the heat of the Summer the Bumblebees and the Skeeters take flight. In the Fall we get nutty with our NoGA friends in the

Bias on and off applies to the front panel mic Pin 1 as well as the tip of the rear panel jack. It depends on whether you have the FP or the RP selected. Some Kenwood desk mics do use the power pin, but those Kenwood mics use pin 5 instead of pin 6 for power, so you would have to re-wire the

If using a dynamic mike you should not have any connection to pin #6 anyway.  So it would make no difference.  The BIAS  On and Off applies to the back panel mike connection. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 8/24/2018 10:53 AM, TL_Netvision wrote: Hello all, While trying different front microphones

Hi, By default, Avast will move any unknown file to the locker. This includes new software like the utility. In the Avast settings, one of the first entries is Enable CyberCapture. Set this to "allow me to decide". Once you have done this, it will not automatically be sent to the locker,

Have no fear, it’s a “false positive”.  Two of the hits are defined as “FileRepMalware” which after some research basically means the KPA1500 Utility has not been seen widely by the virus detection engine., which is not unsurprising as 1.14 was brand new, and isn’t widely distributed. Its

Dan, The KDSP2 does quite well for SSB. Check your settings against the defaults shown in the KDSP2 manual. Particularly the bandpass low and high frequencies. Secondly, make sure the 'nr' and 'nt' is set to off (no dots before them on the display. If those are set on, they can be expected

[Elecraft] [K2] DSP settings aadvice

2018-08-24 Thread Pawlak, Daniel L
I've had the DSP module installed in my K2 (ser. no. 03957)since I built it. After a long hiatus, I've fired it up, realigned it successfully using Spectragram , and the audio still sounds horrible. I've come to realize that the parameters used for the DSP are probably not optimized for SSB.

Keep both of the old boards. They are your backup spares, and can also be useful diagnostic aids. Remember that your K3 requires two synthesizer boards of the same type, so you would always need to swap them both. 73 from Ian GM3SEK >-Original Message- >From:

I've replaced to two synthesizer boards in my K3. Is there a way (or does Elecraft provide a service) to recycle them, as I'm sure they have no value? I don't want to simply throw them into the landfill. Thanks, Eric W3DQ
