Sounds like kit-building isn't for you. QRPLabs kits are some of the finest, best-value kits in amateur radio. As an experienced kit builder, I give them a ringing endorsement. I'm not alone: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/11890 72, Chris KQ2RP __

Re: [Elecraft] Clock chip

2015-02-16 Thread Chris Del Plato KQ2RP
For myself, in relation to the KX3, I would appreciate an accurate clock so that I could just grab and go knowing the time is correct without having to check and reset. Especially important in portable operation, SOTA, etc., where one is often logging on paper. It's nice to keep the clock onscreen

Size will depend on how many accessories/batteries, etc. you want to also put inside, but I have a Pelican Storm iM2050 which is very well made and not expensive. With the heat sink installed, you may wish to bump up to the next size over what I have if you plan on putting in any additional stuff.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 VFO tuning noise...an observation...

2013-06-20 Thread Chris Del Plato KQ2RP
I've found this noise on mine was mainly limited to the higher bands 10 & 6m. The RX SHFT set to 8.0 pretty much eliminates the noise, but if I recall this also disables the roofing filter, which is a bit of a bummer. 72, Chris KQ2RP __ E

[Elecraft] KX3 VFO encoder noise

2013-05-22 Thread Chris Del Plato KQ2RP
Recent uptick in 6m activity recently gave me my first chance to really spend time on that band with the KX3. I found, even with the VFO NR enabled, the vfo encoder noise was very bothersome, especially when surfing the band for weak signals. I've noticed it occasionally on other bands (mainly 10m
