I have dealt with Tom for many years (when he owned Force 12), and purchased
several monobanders from him. The one common complaint about Force 12 back
then was exactly the same one that is rearing it's ugly head again. From
my years of dealing with Tom, I found the worst method was email; for
I think the rationale behind the 599/59 report is in the interest of saving
time and maximizing contacts. Can you imagine the amount of additional time
that would be required to enter each signal report received in the log;
none the less the number of guys that would request a repeat of the
I have to totally disagree with Drew's (AF2Z) statement that the rare
close strike probably means everything that is connected will get taken
out. Nothing can be further from the truth. The next three paragraphs are

On a tip from one of the guys working in the Elecraft booth at Dayton a
couple of years ago, I purchased a pair of Insignia speakers at Best Buy. I
don't see the model number on them, but they are 4, 3-way speakers rated at
5 to 40 watts. Black case that are 4 3/4 wide, 7 1/2 tall, and a
Several years ago a guy that lived about a block and a half away stopped by
the house one afternoon for the purpose of informing me that I was
interfering with his radio and TV. I asked him if he was getting it right
now, and he said yes. Told him, that I was also having a lot of problem

I beg to differ with who stated that most hams want large radios and find
the ergonomics and packaging of the K3 to be less than desirable.
First, not every ham wants a boat anchor box that takes up half the
operating position and weights in excess of 50 lbs. Granted there is a
certain niche
Speaking of the new FT-5000; one will have to admit that when technology
improves, the FT-5000 will make a much better boat anchor than the K3.
But today, one really great feature of the K3 is that I don't need a block
and tackle to move it into position in the shack.

I have a KFL3A-1.8K filter that I would like to sell.
Asking $100 plus shipping.
If interested, please get in touch (k8...@yahoo.com); I am good in QRZ.com and
would believe every other possible source of call lookup (I was shocked when I
typed my call in Yahoo search!).

Franktown,
Has anybody tried to buy a Yaesu, Icom or Kenwood direct from Japan without
going thru their dealers in the states?

I want to thank the individuals that responded to my Win 7 problem of

called Microsoft and was on the phone for about three hours with one of

I am having a heck of a problem with Windows 7 in trying to download and
extract the k3fw3r68 zip file to update my K3. It must be a Win 7 issue
because I did not have the problem with XP
First problem is I cannot not even download it to a folder. I go to the FTP
website, click on the

I was able to download the zip file to a flash drive on my other computer.
Transferred it to a folder I called TEMP and placed it on the desktop. It is
k3fw3r68.zip and has a size of 470 KBs.
When I right click on the file and then click on Extract All, I have a new

The problem is something with the way I have the computer set. I finally
was able to get download to the K3 by using my other computer. I downloaded
the zip file to my other computer (also Win 7) and then extracted the files.
Everything worked as it should. I
Most of the manufactures make their money off of the ink cartridges, not the

there; using different cartridges running the gamete in price.

I am using Windows 7 and use the US Interface NAVIGATOR. It has a built in
soundcard tailored for digital modes; additionally, the drivers work with
Windows 7. What is nice with any of the external USB interfaces is you only
need one cable to your computer (USB). All the other connections are
I have found it very interesting reading the various reports of firmware
upgrade issues when installing new firmware releases to the K3. I am
wondering if it has something to do with the interconnect between the
computer and the K3; and especially if one is using a USB/RS232 converter.

I'm sure that Elecraft (or any other company) can design and produce just
about whatever is technologically feasible. However, the issue boils down
to at what cost, and then what market is out there to recover the costs.
Yes, it will be great if Elecraft does come out with a Panadapter add

I purchased a LP-Pan and a E-MU 0202 a few weeks ago and had no problem

All the more reason to buy American products! I owned a couple of Yaseu HF
