I second what Tex says. It only takes a word or two to realize that this is a Begali. The optional magnetic base is a real pleasure, especially for mobile operation. 73 de W6BK (Begali Adventure SN 6) On Jan 13, 2013, at 10:46 AM, ac...@aol.com wrote: > I also have the KXPD3 and have the sa

John, Start with the TX audio equalizer set flat. That is all 8 bands set to zero. The HC5 already has the necessary equalization built in. If you want to use a full range element like the iC or the HC 6, try the following: 1 -16 2 -16 3 -12 4 -2 5 -2 6 +2 7 +4 8 +6 The Heil website ha

Here is a really neat 100 watt amp that can be frequency controlled by the FT817. It can be ordered from Japan. http://www.thp.co.jp/english/hl_100bdx_e.html I look forward to my KX3 but don't plan to sell the FT817. As you say, they are different radios for different uses. 73 de W6BK On

If you have a high noise level, you might try the Pixel Loop (38 inches). http://www.pixelsatradio.com/product/shortwave-magnetic-loop-antenna/ This is very effective at reducing noise and interfaces well to the K3 thru the RX ant. 73 de W6BK On Dec 7, 2011, at 2:56 PM, Bill Ross wrote: >

The Elecraft MH2 has worked well for me. It is not exactly cheap but it is wired correctly and can be used without modification for the K3 as well. 73 de W6BK On Oct 2, 2011, at 5:48 AM, T Witherspoon wrote: > Hi, Group, > > I have a K2 with the mic configured for Kenwood. I've never used a

Does anyone remember what a Faraday cage is? All you have to do is to keep a spare transceiver in a metal box. After the event, it will be fine. 73 de W6BK On May 31, 2011, at 1:01 PM, Roland Whitsitt wrote: > I wonder if anybody has considered a modern day transceiver that is resistant > t

Gary, Seem like most of the important points have been covered except perhaps one: the P3. The use of the P3 with the second receiver in split operation (contest or DX) is simply awesome! You might want to play with one before you decide. For example, with the second receiver and the P3, yo

Paul, Using a mobile antenna like the Hamstick on a vehicle is one of the easiest ways to have fun portable with a QRP rig. If you didn't do it, try using a few (3 or 4) relatively short (20 feet or so) radials from the base of the antenna. I use insulated wire and just let them fall where t
