had taken out two KIO3Bs. Does Elecraft plan on keeping enough modules and

reasonable period of time? I'm experiencing a vague sense of dre

Good Evening,
I spent the last few days listening on twenty and forty meters.
The North American QSO Party is a good way to test my new antenna. I
have found the forty meter band picks up around 0030z. The QSB flattens
and the signals are easier to dig out. There is a noticeable differe

Same here. Most antennas that we can install are some form of

My new antenna works well on 80, 40, 30, and 20 meters. I have not
tried the other bands. While it was cut for 7100 kHz the design is good
for other bands too, using the Elecraft tuner. I am thankful my design
does exactly what I wanted it to do within my design criteria. It is

Will it work for bands other than 40m :)

For what it may be worth, I'm a staunch supporter of antenna tuners
myself. I previously used one for many years to get 5 band operation
out of two vertical pieces of tubing on my roof back when I lived in
Scottsdale, and I just built a high power monster to get full coverage
of the low band

Mike,
Yes, the new crystals will improve the filtering in the K2 - there may
be a few exceptions, but that is not the rule.
The filter response will be smoother.
Your K2 RF Board also likely has the older crystals, so change them as
well. Get the matched set of 14 crystals.

I'm glad Dave added that to the end of his message, because each time the topic
of multiband antennas comes up, we are told, "That's too lofty a goal for one
antenna. Just put up a resonant antenna and all your troubles will be gone."

Remember the early days of transistor radios and how they advertised the
number of transistors on the case? The more the better! Turns out some of
those with big numbers had transistors not connected to anything.

The doc for the K4 talks about K4:K4 remote or from computers. Right now I and
others are using RemoteRig boxes to have K3S:K3S. Is there a means to do a
K4:K3(s) using RemoteRig? Or is a K4 required on both ends? Might you flesh
out the K4 remote configuration capabilities a bit for us? Tnx
Bill, I did the same but not fitted yet - would be interested to know your
thoughts on fitting. i.e. did you do a F/W upgrade first etc (mines a bit old).

Our friend made strong mention of SOTA and the KX series of portable rigs and
those users often require a multi-band antenna for simplicity and to keep the
weight down. Our friend's 40m vertical is also being used on 20m, so, it's
reasonable to assume he desires multi-band perform
