[Elecraft] KPA1500 210 (209) Firmware Bug?

I brought my KPA1500 to Lubbock for the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest. Like a good Elecraft owner, I checked for firmware updates using the KPA1500 Utility, downloaded what is actually version 210, and installed it. Next, I checked the integration with the IC-7610, KPA1500, and antenna switch. Much to m

Hi all, We're still exploring ways to add 40 meters to the AX1. There are various trade-offs (size, weight, efficiency, bandwidth, ease of tuning, etc.). Once we have something we know will satisfy our requirements, you'll hear about it here first. Meanwhile, I recommend a wire tossed in a tree

I really would like a quality antenna to go with my KX3. I use 20 and 40 meters as my main bands. The AXE1 antenna with a 40 meter "extender" would be on the way to me as soon as it could be made available. I'm now in a restricted area with regard to antennas and am doing a bit of portable oper

Hello members of the Elecraft forum. I was wondering if there might be an interest in requesting a DMR (digital mobile radio) talk group for Elecraft users. It might be nice to have a place to mee in a digital room. One can request a tg on the relatively new TGIF system. Anyway let me know what

Re: [Elecraft] Will there be a K4

Some thoughts on the K4... Make/keep it modular. Start with a basic radio that provides an excellent electronic foundation for whatever builds on top of it. The model in this respect is the initial K3. This allows for flexibility in configuring a radio that can accommodate the different needs

Okay well I tried transmitting at 144.49 from my HT and yep!

It is certainly totally blank on the PX3 though without an actual signal. Mike AB7RU __
