Re: [Elecraft] KPA 100 watt Amp

2013-04-05 Thread Chris Schrecengost
immediately started saying that it would have to be more expensive than Ten Tec. That's how rumors start. Elecraft publishes all current shipping estimates on their website. As for price, I don't imagine you'll see anything legitimate until the actual release announcement. Chris AB3QV On Fri, Apr 5, 2013

Re: [Elecraft] Will a casual SSB operator enjoy the K3?

2013-04-05 Thread Chris Hembree
I am only a casual SSB operator, The K3 is a great radio for anyone. Tech support is the best. One of the great things about the K3, is that you don't need to worry about next week the K4 will be out and 6 months  the K5 and so on. They keep making the K3 best with updates for everyone. Chris

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Why is the serial data transfer rate so slow?

2013-04-03 Thread Chris Schrecengost
at a maximum of 38,400bps. That is a common serial top end. My prior FT-857D had three choices, 4800, 9600, or 38400. You aren't pushing volumes of data. This is a small file. What you are experiencing is not normal. Look for other issues related to the computer for the slowness. Chris AB3QV

I've been using a Tokyo High Power HL-45B and have been satisfied enough with it. It's only 50 watts and it doesn't do automatic band switching with the KX3 but the price point is well below where the Elecraft amp will likely be announced. Chris AB3QV On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 7:43 PM, Giff
