In today's world, a mast-mounted preamp is a waste of effort for the
vast majority of hams because circuit noise in the receiver is rarely
the limitation on what we hear. Rather it's all the trash from the
electronics in our homes and homes of our neighbors, in addition to
power line noise. I'v

I'm a huge fan of KISS when it's just as good as complicated. :) And
Elecraft's implementation is VERY good.

I am trying to run down a CW transmit problem on my K3s. Anytime I change the
mode from LSB or USB on any band to CW it starts to send a “dit” without
stopping and I have to halt it by restoring the configuration. This does fix it
until I try to switch to CW again; and then, the same story.

Hello,
Does your K2 need repair? Tuneup?
Want to sell it, but it needs some attention before offering it for sale?
In addition to tuning your rig, I can also rescue a building project you might
have started some time ago.
See what my clients have said about my construction and service work at
"but all you need is coax for RF and a cable to connect the rig's Amp Key out
to an RCA on the KPA500"
Hi Jim,
I know you, and probably many others, are content to use RF frequency detection
but it did not appeal to me. In fact I disliked it so much that I have
invested a lot of effort in cre
I was not happy with the 9700 - it had calibration issues. I returned it.
I have the internal K144XV with the reflock board and 1PPM TXCO installed in
the K3S - the external reference clock for the K3S would be better. So far
it has worked on the few digital modes I have tried. I use an externa
Make sure you balance the station receive performance with that of the 1
KW amp. Power is easy to generate. Low noise receive performance is
a challenge. Start with a mast mounted low noise preamp, then low loss
feedline such as 7/8" hard-line, and such. Remember, loss in the
feedline add
Hi Andy,
I have no idea what they're selling, but all you need is coax for RF and
a cable to connect the rig's Amp Key out to an RCA on the KPA500.
That's all I've ever used. Elecraft amps and tuners all detect RF
frequency near instantaneously, and switch to the right band.

I don't know the '9700, but if you already have a K3(S), I would say an external
transverter like an XV144.

What cable is Elecraft selling for interfacing the Kenwood TS-890S or TS-590SG
with the KPA500. Can someone point me to a cable drawing? A post to TS-890S
group seems to suggest that Elecraft is selling a cable that does not support
active low solid state keying for these rigs.
Thanks and 73
Digital modes on 144MHz only
I plan for a second station to use for digital modes on 144MHz only. If you
look at performance only (no price, no ergonomics, no use outside digital modes
on 144MHz) what would you prefer
1) K3/K3S with internal transverter
2) IC-9700
In both cases I plan to u
Sorry about that. The K3/K3S is strictly superhet.

He meant K4. I spent a while thinking about that myself. Has to be K4 as he
later mentioned turning Superhet front-end OFF in order to get to Direct

He meant K4, of course. Good thing he didn't accidentally type "K5" or
it would have given rise to another 48,674 queries.

Guys,
This is a great opportunity. I have two of RC’s earlier builds (K2 and I think
KX1) and he is obsessive with his records and detail. He sent my K2 out for
professional tune up before sending it to me. It is pristine and still sits in
a place of honor on my desk.
