Hi all,
We've been making contacts with our K4s as often as possible, often in
conjunction with checkout of new software. But the Elecraft CW an SSB nets are
another great resource that we've been overlooking. We'll be getting on these
nets frequently in the future.

John, I definitely agree. I also have their 8300mAh pack, and it has enough
amperage to power the KX3 *and* the PX3. And has a 9v and a 5v USB socket
on it, too. There's a bigger one, but I'd rather step up to a LiFePO4
battery, a much bigger one, that I can put in a battery box with a

Yep, I use the 6000 mAh battery on my K2 and the 3500 mAh on my K1 (s/n 52).
Both batteries work great!

Chuck,
L34 must have been far out to do that. It is connected right where the
IF OUT signal is fed to the AGC, so it must have formed a resonance with
C179 which increased the input to the AGC and desensed the receiver.
Did you use Spectrogram to adjust L34? It is easily done in CW mode -
Just to add: My K3 draws 1.34A on 2m receive.

Don,
I downloaded the software, and found I could get my SSB OPT1 filter looking
great until I turned on the AGC in USB!
Well I did solve it. It was a poorly aligned L34 causing the problem. I had
read on this list that L34 was very broad and did not do much. Not at all true!

Chuck,
Your guess that the BFO is positioned inside the filter passbaad is
likely correct.
Do you have the SSB FL1 filter set to OP1? If not, try that first.
Many times the filter on the RF Board (used for more narrow filter
settings) becomes VERY wide - much wider than indicated by the K2.
That makes perfect sense to me Jim, however I have my AGC threshold set quite
high to stop contest mush. I will let you know how I go on during this summer's
6m Es season which is a particularly harsh test in this neck of the woods. I
may have to adjust the AGC for 50.313 which is the new 'centr

Hello,
I have been working on a new K2 the last couple of months. SN 7927
Yesterday I finished and installed the KSB2 SSB adapter.
I have been mostly listening. All seemed normal with receive on 80 and 40
meters, on LSB.
But, as soon as I go to USB on any band below 21 mhz, or LSB 21 and above
I think you’ll find in the release notes that main/sub filters no longer need
to be matched.
However, I think I’d be happier with two alike, either 2 8-poles or 2 6-poles.

I believe that my K3 #1193 has a bad CMP/PWR/MON encoder. I looked on the
Elecraft parts site and can't find it. I would appreciate someone sending
me the correct part number and price.
I already submitted a request (email) to Elecraft and currently awaiting a
response.
Thanks and 73,

Hi Clay,
I have a 5-pole filter with -0.85kHz offset according to the label on it.
It's yours for the asking if it's any good to you. It was working when I
removed it a number of years ago.

I very much enjoyed my visit to them in September. Nice people, nice company.

Terry,
If you are able, call (or better email) the office a couple days prior
to your visit. That way they can be prepared for you and will increase
your chances of a complete tour. If you just drop in and they are busy,
they will have to be more brief.
If you can, make your visit Thursday
I was on a West coast trip in September of 2018 and dropped in at Elecraft
headquarters at Watsonville unannounced on a Friday afternoon. It was an
amazing experience as I was able to tour their facility. Met a number of their
associates and very much appreciated their friendly reception. I achi

It is absolutely worth it. If you have time and know when you will be

Has anyone used or still using a version 2 of the first iPad for ham radio? I
have two of them no longer being used because they are so slow compared to my

I agree. Freds manuals are a God Send and wakes one up to really what the
Elecraft rigs can do. He also put out a great book on the skills of ham radio,
“The Successful Ham Radio Operators Handbook” or something like that. See

My apologies I said it was RJ-12 I believe I remembered
incorrectly It's an RJ-25 (straight thru). RJ-12 is a handset
cable with NON-straight thru wiring... essentially reversed to bridge
the handset to the base device.
RJ-25 is a 3-line, straight thru cable. That'll teach me
