Re: [Elecraft] RFI on K3s

If that question was directed at me, the answer is that my issues were not using my K3 and I only needed to turn off the tuner supply. 73, Alan. G4GNX -Original Message- From: Ramon Tristani Sent: Monday, June 20, 2016 6:14 PM To: G4GNX Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elec

I am building a new shack in the roof space, using drywall. I plan to keep all cables suspended on cable trays or hooks on the outside of the walls, in the void where there is sufficient space for me to access them. 73, Alan. G4GNX -Original Message- From: Robert Nobis Sent: Thursda

Thanks Don and all others who replied. I have not previously run the KAT500 utility, so was unaware of its capabilities. I have it installed now and I'm studying the facilities. 73, Alan. G4GNX -Original Message- From: Don Wilhelm Sent: Sunday, November 15, 2015 4:47 AM To: Robert
