Re: [Elecraft] Genius vs. Stupidity

Don, I usually don’t chime in on these things but I had to throw in my 2 cents worth on this one. I added a line to another popular saying, “You can’t fix Stupid”. I added, “Neither can you legislate intelligence”. Sort of appropriate for 2020, LOL. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and hopes f

Don - I also like that quote... sadly there is no credible evidence that Albert Einstein ever said or wrote that. There is evidence that it is significantly older. 73 es Happy Holidays de Dave - K9FN On Wed, Dec 23, 2020 at 7:37 PM Don Wilhelm wrote: > I really like that quote from Albert Eins

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Net Signal strengths as heard in New Hampshire

Thanks Bill,    It is nice to know the propagation conditions from the other end.  During the last month I have been able to reach the opposite coast each week, on both twenty and forty meters.  The QRP operators do make it a challenge but my quiet location helps.  I run at 100 watts on my K3

Re: [Elecraft] Year vs serial number

Just as an exercise, since my K3S s/ 11727 shipped 9/24/2018 (though I purchased it later from the original buyer), I estimate they were averaging somewhere around 1 K3S shipped per day from November 2016 and September 2018. 11712 + 15 = 11727 (20 days later). So maybe 25 or more per month? 1171

[Elecraft] New KPA 500 Questions: Idle HV and Info button

Newly assembled AMP. Two quick questions - 1) At 120V using green tap, idle HV is ~87V which is just over the recommended 85 but not enough to trigger a fault. This setting provides just over 60V at 500W+. Also keeps the amp hum nice and quiet vs the other 2 louder tap options which do keep idle

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 DC Connector Failure

Almost every APP failure I’ve had occurred when the connector slips back into the housing a bit and doesn’t clip over the internal metal connector in the housing. Make sure the connector laps over that piece. The 75 amp PP connectors do slip easily from the amp, as was earlier noted make sure you
