That's a pretty bad assertion. A white (or very light) object will simply absorb much less heat ... all.day.long.   And it will still be able to reradiate heat.  Just not as effectively, but it wouldn't need to. A dark object wouldn't be able to radiate its considerably greater absorbed hea

Same here Bill. For portable work with my K3, I use a small USB LED light powered from my laptop. It illuminates both the keyboard and K3 front panel. The dark black color scheme works well inside, but absorbs the huge sunlight we have here in NM. Perhaps a covering that "sticks" to the cases a

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Low power output

2019-09-04 Thread Don Wilhelm
Petr, The specification for the K2 is for 10 watts or greater. Most will go to 12 watts on 40 and 30 meters with an adequate power supply voltage while few can achieve 15 watts on all bands. There is nothing specific to the KPA100 option that would cause low power output from the base K2.

The specific patterns in Camo fabric are copyrighted but not the technique. As long as you don't use the specific pattern you should be OK. That is tough to do with fabric but relatively easy to do with silk screen. -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ _

Hi Mike: Don't forget... "the best absorbers are also the best radiators"...  So, if a light colored rig absorbs heat (and it would, eventually).. it would not be able to radiate it away, trapping heat inside and possibly causing damage to heat sensitive components.  For any rig, it's not a bad
