[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,    Conditions were poor to OK on both bands.  QSB was slow and moderately deep.  Summer storms were quite evident on 40 meters. Hopefully someone is getting rain, not heat lightning.  Hot and dry in most places.  Here there is heavy dew from the morning fog.  It may be enough

If you are looking for true, all 15 wires run independently cables, look at the HD-15 male-female cables by Winford: https://www.winford.com/products/ext15hd.php Their breakout connectors are great for wiring up other projects. When I had one

Hi Dick, Before you try to buy on the internet, note that generic VGA cables will NOT work, because for use with Elecraft, all the pins are used, while on VGA cables, a lot of the pins are bused together as a common return. 73, Jim K9YC On 7/4/2021 4:37 PM, Dick Bingham wrote: Greetings to

Greetings to everyone I am just getting started interconnecting my Apache-Labs ANAN-7000dle to a KPA500, KTA500 and my DELL E6510 laptop for a base-station I can operate remotely from another QTH. Before I order several from Elecraft, does anyone have E850463 Aux Interface cables that are

Re: [Elecraft] Generic words on temperature

In years past, we had a spec where 60C was the the hottest temp allowable on any exposed accessible surface.  On a metal surface with high thermal conductivity and significant thermal mass (e.g. aluminum heat sink), it feels very warm to the touch, only starts to cause pain after many seconds,

Re: [Elecraft] Generic words on temperature

All, I am taking this off-list since it is so far off topic. What I said seems to have been somewhat misinterpreted. 1. "Threshold of pain" means it starts to hurt, not "I can't stand it any more". 2. The surface temperature of a child's forehead when running a fever of 106 degrees is less

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 and excessive drive

You likely blew one of the Caps in the Low Pass filter. If you open it up and have a look, you will clearly see the damage. I've seen this done before on a friends that I had to repair for him. I just replaced the blown parts and then swept it with a VNA to ensure it was still operational.

[Elecraft] KPA500 and excessive drive

Last night I was trying to work 80m for the first time in a while, and my KPA500 faulted. I was tired, and didn't pay attention to the fault code but simply cleared it and tried again. After a couple of rounds of this, I smelled something burning and shut off the amp for the night. This morning

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Operating Temp

Given the starting point is the ambient temp in your shack, what temperatures are you observing on your KPA-1500 when operating FT8? Another way of saying this is how many degrees above the ambient while tx on FT8? -- *Mac Gray-W8LMG *

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Only 30-metre Band Works

Jerry, I tried briefly to remove the relay for re-use. I decided quickly, however, after starting with my equipment on hand and skill level, it made more sense to go for full demolition since the cost of replacement is low. I will keep your method in mind for future. I have found when
