Re: [Elecraft] Who sells a small RF quiet solar charge controller?

I use the unit in the link below and it is quiet. I keep my K3 battery bank with a 100w panel connected to keep the system ready to go. http://ki0bk.no-ip.com/~pwrgate/LLPG/Site/Solar.html ~73 Don KD8NNU 2014 3905CC Top Gun :-) -.- -.. ---.. -. -. ..-

Re: [Elecraft] RX Antennas

I just posted a similar question on the Topband and Ham Antenna reflectors. I am considering the same antennas for my QTH and adding a second receiver to the K3. I find that I am RX limited compared to signal reports that I get that are not just the 59 contest mode. So for me this will be a

Re: [Elecraft] ESSB

I had the fortunate experience to work Jim during the contest and yes he had a nice clean signal. With the settings on my K3, Heil IC mic and SGC power cube I had multiple comments on my signal and how nice it sounded. It felt good to have busy contesters make such a statement. Right

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Antenna ideas for a cheap ham

I use a cobweb at 40ft and it works real well for me also. It’s a good multiband antenna. ~73 Don KD8NNU 2014 Top Gun :-) -.- -.. ---.. -. -. ..- -Original Message- From: drewko Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2014 8:43 AM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - Ergonomics

I don’t get the whole ergonomics thing as I find the radio easy to use. Its way easier than my IC-7000 which is a small radio but has way more layers of menus. ~73 Don KD8NNU -.- -.. ---.. -. -. ..- -Original Message- From: MontyS Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2014 6:13 PM To: David

Re: [Elecraft] K3/KPA500/KAT500 SWR problem

Interesting as I had a similar problem with my unit on 160m this weekend. Turned out as I went higher in power I was burning thru an insulator on my vertical. Thus my problem occurred at higher power until my insulator was totally gone. Then it was easy to find. I suspect that that

[Elecraft] KAT500 VFWD reading in watts

Does anyone know how to convert the VFWD readings from the KAT500 software to actual watts out? If I knew this reference calculation then I could eliminate my W2 from the system. I guess I could do lots of measurements to get close but if some knows and can share it would be a lot quicker.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 and whats next from Elecraft

Look for an SGC powercube. I have one and it works well, you need to find a used one. They may be starting to make them again shortly. ~73 Don KD8NNU -.- -.. ---.. -. -. ..- -Original Message- From: mikefur...@att.net Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2013 4:14 PM To:

[Elecraft] new computer advice suggestions for using with a K3

Gents, I wish to get a new computer for the shack and want to have one that is RF quiet and has real serial ports. I am guessing that others have purchased some PC’s recently and would have some suggestions on some that are HAM friendly with a K3. I use a K3, KAT500, W2 and HRD for rig

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500: Tuning on 6m

I have noticed since the last update of software I am getting more retuning also. I had been running a test version prior to that and it did not exhibit the same retune as often. In fact I did a tune or train check prior to the contest yesterday by going thru the bands and pressing tune to

Re: [Elecraft] W2 wattmeter

Mine works great and comparing readings to my other equipment it appears spot on. From barefoot low power on the k3 to my amp on. I use the peak function all the time as I do a lot of SSB and it just makes me feel good. I have the 2kw sensor. It also helped me on 6m as I was running the

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 utility software request

I do run two monitors already I guess maybe I need to get bigger ones. :-) I am not a programmer so I do not know what the limitations are for shrinking the windows to smaller sizes. So if it can not be done based on how the software is written then it is what it is. ~73 Don KD8NNU -.-

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

I did purchase a hat at Dayton yesterday. Maybe we can convince Elecraft to work with one of those suppliers who do hats and allow us order direct and then we could get our Call Sign added at the time of purchase. I know this can be done. Then Elecraft does not have to bother directly with
