This topic probably worn out. I ran a small ham radio business and

I don’t see how the delivery companies are keeping up. Parcel volume doubled in
four years and I expect it has been going at that rate for a decade or more.
I’m not at all surprised that they have problems. This article says that

Hi Joe:
Normally I would have used USPS, I have liked them in the past, however
due to the weight and cost it was not a good option. I wouldn't be so
ticked off, but my package went to customs 3 times, repeated billing me
of taxes and no less than 12 exceptions and this is all after the

Unfortunately, other than USPS, UPS is the best of a bad lot.
FedEx mess up more deliveries than they get right
I ship more and more items via USPS Priority with added insurance as
necessary. It is faster and less costly and more reliable than Fed-X
or UPS. I shipped my K3S to Elecraft via USPS Priority on a Tuesday
and it arrived at Elecraft on Thursday. They repaired it, updated it and

Neil,
Your readings on the PLL range test show that Q19 is marginal. Q19 is
not oscillating properly at the high end of the PLL range.
The first thing to try is a small capacitor (12 to 15pF) from the source
of Q19 to ground. You can easily mount the capacitor between pins 1 and
12 of U4.

I was a UPS driver for 27 years. I'm sorry you are having problems with
your delivery.
That being said, I have to say that it is the busiest time of the year for
delivery companies. You may have a vision of your package sitting on a
shelf, all by itself. That is not the case! your package i

The KPA1500 left Elecraft on 20 Dec 2019, and arrived in Mount Hope,
