Re: [Elecraft] [HAM] Yamaha CM500 Headset is a WIN NER ( and a BARGAIN )

I had them on "watch" at BH and received an email about a week ago that they are no longer stocking them, but will handle as special order. Don't know if their price has changed. Gary -- KJ7RT Sun City, AZ U.S.A. Life Member ARRL - FISTS #14460 - NAQCC # 3709 Elecraft K1 #2760 Elecraft K2 #6

Re: [Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 Headset is a WINNER (and a BARGAIN)

Most prices I found on the Internet were in the $59 range. B&H Photovideo in NYC lists it at $38.95 but they are currently out of stock. I'll try my local Sam Ash. 73 Gary -- KJ7RT Sun City, AZ U.S.A. Life Member ARRL - FISTS #14460 - NAQCC # 3709 Elecraft K1 #2760 Elecraft K2 #6815 ___

Re: [Elecraft] K2 #6815 - VFO Linearization CAL PLL Info 232

Don, Well, with egg on face ... When I went to try your last suggestion, the K2 gave me a low battery indication and would go no further. I did a short recharge and the CAL PLL procedure is running as expected. Sorry to have bothered you with this, but thanks for your help. Gary

Re: [Elecraft] K2 #6815 - VFO Linearization CAL PLL Info 232

Don, Yes, I did all that. Just checked it. My instructions say it is C71 not C73 that is changed. Other than that, all is as you say. Gary __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mai

[Elecraft] K2 #6815 - VFO Linearization CAL PLL Info 232

Subject line says it. Everything has gone perfectly until I hit this. Manual says I'm probably not on 40 M. VFO says 7030.00. Only non-standard part of build is that I'm using the UnMods kit for all options as well as their Internal Microphone Adaptor. All measurements have been amazingly spot

There are 6 MV209 varactor diodes. Four are also marked as 417 and two as 412. Are these the same? Interchangeable? Thanks, Gary __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.ne

[Elecraft] K2 option installation sequence question

I have a K2 on order and plan to add the KSB2, KAT2, KDSP2 and K160RX. The 100w option and KAT2-100 will come later and probably be installed in a separate enclosure. My question is regarding any advice as to building and installing any of the above options during the K2 build. In other words w

Re: [Elecraft] New Elecraft Pricing

Yes, and it has been getting updated with more increases during the day. I'm waiting for some eBay auctions to close Sunday so I can order my K2. I had hoped we would get some warning when the date was firm, crap :-( . Gary KJ7RT Brett Howard wrote: > The new Elecraft pricing has just gone into

SN 2760 lives !! A few minor tweaks left but I heard a lot of activity on 30M with about 4 feet of wire. Time to put the finishing touches on my antennas and then I'll be out there trying for QRP DX. Gary KJ7RT Sun City, AZ __

Re: [Elecraft] K1 U2 extraction help!

Thanks to all that replied on and off list. I've tried a wick and the RS solder sucker and have the bottom clean and clear but there is still just a bit but enough solder on the top of the board to hold the IC in place. Think I'll go the safe route and order a replacement from Elecraft and clip

[Elecraft] K1 U2 extraction help!

I finally found the cause of my inability to align the band filter in my K1 under construction. I installed the RF board U2 backwards :-[ . I've managed to suck the solder from the holes on the bottom of the board, but still have some on the top. I'm trying to salvage the IC (product detector)

Thanks, Sandy and Don. Looks like the two-band modules will give me the flexibility I want. Can't wait to get started. USPS tracking shows it has arrived and been processed through the Phoenix sorting facility. I'll have my kit tomorrow! Gary KJ7RT _

[Elecraft] New K1 on the way - Band Module Questions

I should receive my new K1-2 with KAT1 tomorrow or Monday. I ordered 40M and 30M for starters. I will add others shortly. My question is regarding modification for other bands. I've seen replacement parts lists for 12 and 10 M. Is there any reason the KFL1-4 is limited to 40/30/20 and 17 or 15
