[Elecraft] K4 remote software question

After listening to Eric’s EXPO presentation, I thought I heard him say Elecraft would have an API for developers to develop remote software for the K4. I take that to mean that Elecraft will NOT have their own remote software offering so you must buy a K4/0 until software is available from 3rd

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Hello Kevin; Just saying thanks and I agree the QSB was crazy!!! I am wondering if you or others have tried to use APF on the Elecraft radio to pull out weaker CW signals from the noise. I've tried it a few times on my KX3 but wonder if I am setting it up correctly. I'm not sure it would have

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,   Both bands had summer storm noise and QSB.  Signals were strong though and easy to copy.  The biggest problem was separating the calls out from one long howl.  I think I copied "howl TX9V" at one point which works out to K4TO, K6XK, and AB9V respectively.  Then I worked AK back

Re: [Elecraft] Blasphemy! IC705 w/ KPA100

First off, the amp and tuner aren’t going to help you on 2 Meters or 70 CM. And you're going to need a full 12 Volts at 20 Amps to power the combo. You might as well use a 7300 and a dual band mobile. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Aug 9, 2020, at 8:29 PM, Keith Gordon wrote: > >

Depends on what ICOM lets the IC705 do with other equipment. I saw the 1st IC705 and was less than impressed.. AND then they took it back in and rebuilt it because it was not going to fly. I still prize my KX3 for it versatility Paul KB9AVO KX3 #24 KXPA100 #22 On Sun, Aug 9, 2020 at 8:28 PM Kei

I don't believe there is any ability to frequency restrict the K2. It's essentially a bag of components, and most countries allow licensed amateurs to home construct from components, and applying hard limits in such cases would be difficult. On 09/08/2020 08:29, Ingo Meyer, DK3RED wrote: Yes
