[Elecraft] K1,KX1,K2

2005-01-11 Thread Jay Blass
I built the three radios in the order listed. KX-1 goes together quickly, but is a little more challeging in a couple of tight spots than the K1. The K2 just requires more time. As you well know, nothing is difficult, you just have to put in the time. No matter what, don't get in a hurry, just

[Elecraft] Elecraft KXPD1 paddle -- minor upgrade

2004-07-30 Thread Jay Blass
Hi Wayne, I've been kicking around several designs to mount a KXPD1 paddle to the right side panel of a K1, and later, a K2. Before I get too sporting, are you thinking of some sort of mount that would allow the paddle to be affixed to your other rigs? Thanks, Jay N5ACM _

[Elecraft] K2 Spot causes signal distortion

What? You mean you don't place the Fingerdimple on the geometric center of the knob? I vote for the standard K2 knob with Fingerdimple (mounted off center of course). It has a nice feel to it, better than the FT100 knob in my opinion, which has a dimple, but the radius is too small to get good

[Elecraft] Knobs full circle

2004-08-11 Thread Jay Blass
Amazing, isn't it? In fact, I am thinking of installing five Fingerdimples- four around the circumference, and one in the middle. I'd always have one at the ready, without having to move my finger more than a fraction. this would result in true efficiency of operation. You can't have enough of

[Elecraft] K1 and the Outdoors

2004-08-26 Thread Jay Blass
