[Elecraft] Battery for K1/KX1

I recently found what appears to be an excellent battery for the KX1 and K1 in the field: It's a very compact lithium battery pack rated at 12V 3.5Ah - just a little smaller than the KX1 footprint. I have not used it over many re-charge cycles yet, or measured its performance but it does gi

[Elecraft] Antennas for K1 field use

I agree that random wires and fishing poles are as good as most antennas in the field but a PAC12, or homebrew version of the same, needs no other supports and is compact and light. It's an ideal beach antenna, where salt water helps minimise ground losses, and I've had plenty of transatlan

[Elecraft] KPA-800 etc.

I wonder if Elecraft has ever considered doing an OEM deal with another amp maker? SPE, makers of the Expert 1K-FA might be a good candidate. Some packaging re-design to match the K2/K3, together with software changes for integrating the amp tightly with the Elecraft radios, could satisfy m

[Elecraft] KX1 - very quiet on 30m and 20m

I've just completed a KX1 build with the 80/30m option and auto atu. It works on all bands but 30m and 20m require the volume control to be fully clockwise and even then it's quiet. I've carried out the recommended checks and everything appears to be fine. Having read the previous posts on 'low

[Elecraft] FOR SALE: Microham MK2R+ with K2 and K3 leads

I have a Microham MK2R+ for sale in the UK, complete with connecting leads for SO2R operation with K2 and K3. It's under 3 months old and in mint condition - complete with the original box. " Check it out on Eham.net, it gets a full 5/5 rating. One review said: " I expected nothing else from

[Elecraft] OT Apple iMac

Hi Tom I use an iMac in a similar set up to yours - with the lovely little Bluetooth keyboard etc. Go to 'Control Panels' (when in Windows) Select 'BootCamp' One of the tabs will give you the option to assign F keys to the application - can't remember which one, and I'm traveling at presen

[Elecraft] K3 wish list - option to turn off display

I increasingly like to operate remote, especially when traveling. This can sometimes mean that the rig is turned on for several days. I have some concern about burn-out of the LCD display in areas where it remains unchanged for long periods. Maybe this is an unjustified worry, but it would be go

[Elecraft] RS-232 connection failure

David thanks very much for your reply. I've checked it out and the sidetone works just fine - I can hear it in the speaker, but still no RS-232 connection to the PC. Really appreciate you taking the trouble to get in touch though. 73 Bob G3YIQ _

[Elecraft] RS 232 connection failure

Hi my K2/100 Nr 5336 has fallen out with my PC - they've stopped talking to each other. I use microHAM's USB device router and a number of serial to USB adapters, all of which have worked fine until now. The same adapters work perfectly with my Icom rig but I get no response when the PC p

[Elecraft] HF Amplifier

Hello Jean-Francois I suggest you take a look at the Expert 1K-FA from SPE: http:// www.linear-amplifier.com. I was waiting for the Elecraft amp then got impatient and bought one of these. This is a fully automatic amplifier that will work with any rig - it will drive to about 2/3 full pow

[Elecraft] Sending CW from WriteLog

I have my K2 connected to Writelog and can read frequency through Com 4 but I can't send CW from the program via the same port (this is the arrangement I use for my FT1000MP). Is the K2 capable of this function or do I need a different arrangement. As a Mac user for 20- odd years, I'm afraid

[Elecraft] Receiver overload on 40m

I've recently completed K2 5336 but only today connected a properly resonant antenna on 40m. The results surprised me. With the pre-amp on the receiver suffers from serious overload and intermodulation and 40m - a problem that does not occur with the same set up on my FT1000MP. I've played

[Elecraft] QSK

Thanks for all the comments guys. I may have unrealistically rosy memories of using Ten Tec gear but as I recall the QSK sounded very little from the sidetone when not transmitting - and I guess my definition of true QSK is just that. By the way, my T-R was set to 0.01 - it was better on the ears t

[Elecraft] K2 QSK

K2 5336 is up and running with a pile of European and transatlantic contacts on 10W during the first evening on 3.5MHz. I'm delighted with the rig in every respect except one. It's described as full QSK but doesn't come close to offering the performance of a Ten Tec in this respect - although it be
