[Elecraft] Strange behavior of K3 on FT8

2021-06-19 Thread Carl-N8VZ
Dear OM or YL: Today I did a successful POTA activation using my K3. I usually use a smaller, lower wattage rig, but decided recently to use the K3 portable. I've used the K3 for POTA activation three times before this week -- but all on SSB. Today, I used FT8. I first was on 20M and

[Elecraft] 12 meter CW, anyone?

2021-06-19 Thread Wayne Burdick
I'm hearing beacons on 28 MHz these days I haven't heard in a long time, suggesting that 12 meters, a favorite of mine, is probably open as well. It's an especially fun QRP CW/SSB band if anyone's around. I'd love to arrange a time in the afternoon, even daily, for like-minded ops who want to

[Elecraft] [Elecraft-K4] Improved frequency accuracy with external reference

2021-06-19 Thread Wayne Burdick
For those using the K4 with an external reference: Ken Long (N0QO) alerted us to an offset of about 0.1 ppm when the K4 was externally locked. 0.1 ppm is about 5 Hz on 6 meters. We confirmed this using a GPS-locked 10 MHz reference, and corrected the error. Accuracy is now in the expected
