Re: [Elecraft] K1 and DMM resistance checks

Roney, If it is an auto-ranging meter, it is okay. 1 just means open, which is greater than 100k ohms. If it is not an auto-ranging meter, make sure you select a range that will measure at least up to 100k ohms. Again, 1 would be okay. 73, Art WB8ENE On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 9:13 AM, roney

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] The Way We Rank Receivers (long)

Nice explanation Al. It's nice to know that the K3 ranks high on the charts, but I agree that 'usability' and 'listenability' are underrated. Before I purchased my K3, I went to AES in Wickliffe and listened to several receivers. I liked the sound of the Kenwoods, but I liked the 'modularity' of

Re: [Elecraft] comparing P3, LP-Pan, SDRPlay, others?

Although I really like using a panadapter, which I made from a Softrock Lite II for $21.00 and an external USB sound card for about $50.00, it was a lot of fun using my K1 during a recent NAQCC sprint. Panadapters are nice, but not absolutely necessary in my opinion. 73, Art WB8ENE On Wed, Jul

Re: [Elecraft] low IF out on K3

Enrico, How old is your K3? I believe they made a change to increase the output on the "newer" units. I'm not sure which serial number this began on, but mine has the higher output, and it is serial number 43XX. 73, Art WB8ENE On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 3:55 PM, Enrico Lorenzoni IU3AZC

Re: [Elecraft] LP-PAN 2 and P3

Jorge, I went the cheapest route, and it works quite well. I use a softrock lite II which cost $21. I needed a stereo sound card for my laptop, so I ordered a USB sound card for around $14 from Amazon. I later changed to a Xonar U5 sound card, which cost $60 after a $10 rebate. It is a better

Re: [Elecraft] Contemplating Purchase of K3

Gil, When I bought my K3-100, the only thing I added was the 400 Hz filter, and that seemed to work out well for me. Later, I added the KXV3A and the 13 kHz filter. 73, Art WB8ENE On Mar 7, 2015 11:52 AM, Richard Gillingham w...@hotmail.com wrote: I’m thinking about purchasing the K3-100

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Anyone use MFJ Noise Canceler for PC noise?

I use the MFJ-1026 noise canceler. It works well on 14 MHz and above, but not as well on 7 MHz and below. I have noise from a toaster around 14.05 MHz, and it takes that out completely. Mainly though, I use it to take out power line noise. Make sure you use a good noise pickup antenna, not the

Re: [Elecraft] Buying a new K3/100 kit - Top 3 options?

Arlen, I agree with Dave about not needing any options. When I purchased my kit, I only added the 400Hz filter, but I do mostly CW. Later, I added the KXV3A for the RX antenna feature so I could keep my MFJ-1026 noise canceler out of the XMIT path. A while later, I added the 13kHz filter when
