[Elecraft] RFI in shack with New audio cable for sound card upgrade.

2018-11-18 Thread Jerry Muller via Elecraft
All:   Recently I submitted an issue on the above item. Since then I have put 6 turns of the USB cable on a 1.0 in id 31 toroid and it reduced it. I then put 5 turns on the USB cable going to the multi jack USB adapter and that cleared up the problem.  Make sure that you use 31 mix as othes did

Hi Gang: Looking for some info. From the PDF and pictures it looks like this amp will NOT do SO2R. Is that correct? Gerald Muller K9GEM gmuller...@aol.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/el

[Elecraft] K3/P3/expert 1.3KA

I have a question? I have a K-3/P-3 with a Expert 1.3 k amp. Due to the low swr cut off point of the Expert amp (1.7) and the high swr of my antenna (2.3) I am looking for a Antenna Tuner. I have selected a Palstar HF Auto. My question is what will the Expert amp do when the tuner is tuning.

Ok all you great guys. I have a K3 which is hooked to my P3 thru the K3 RS-232 port which is normal and then from the P-3 to the CPU for logging. I now have a MicroHAM Interface III which also wants that RS-232 port. Will a RS 232 Y cable work? That is the first question. The second one

Hello all: I have a K3/P3 and want to do RTTY, JT, PSK. I know that there is a section, Page 31, in the manual that address this area. I do not wish to use the sound card in my PC as I listen to back ground music while on the air. No the QSO can not hear it as I have checked that out

Will it lock to the K3EXREF (when it is available)? Also, is there any update on when the K3EXREF will be available? Jerry - K0TV - Original Message - From: Wayne Burdick To: Elecraft Reflector ; elecraft...@yahoogroups.com ; elecr...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 1

Speaking of band edges During the recent ARRL DX SSB contest, there was a station operating on 7127. Because of the lower SB extending to 7124 (assuming 3k bandwidth) he was operating out of the US phone band. He was a European but he was working simplex. I bet there was an OO sitting there

This was an excellent explanation. I got a Trimble Thunderbolt off eBay for less than 200 bucks. It came from China and came with an antenna and power supply. If you are going to get one of the ones that come from China, make sure you get the power supply with it. The domestic Thunderbolts have

Ah, tailwheel. I did my first tailwheel training in a 7KCAB. Fun airplane. Get tired of flying right side up, turn it over and fly it upside down, but not over 2 minutes (I was taught not to fly inverted more than 1 minute and keep your eye on the oil pressure). Oh well, I digress. One importan

Doug, I couldn't have said it better myself. QRP is good, signing "/QRP" waists information bandwidth. Also when it ends up either in or not in my log and the Qs are uploaded to eQSL, the callsigns don't match and I have to manually generate a QSL (which I do gladly). It does have to be manual

Don't get me wrong on this one. I'm primarily a contester. I TRY to run rather than do S & P. When I'm running and there's a station calling me that I'm pulling out of noise on my run frequency and they're signing XXnXXX/QRP at 15 WPM, chances are there will be several stations calling QRL? on m

What I just don't understand is why QRP operators have to sign "/QRP" after their callsigns when in a contest. It takes longer and the guy on the other end has to copy not only their call (often QRP stations are weak anyway), but the "/QRP" as well. I too am astonished when I work some EU statio
