I have an old clarinet case I'm thinking about converting to a case for the KX3. Where did you get the foam for your Pelican case and how do you cut it? 73, Jock N1JI On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 1:20 PM, Chris Del Plato KQ2RP wrote: > I use a Pelican Storm iM2050. Some photos

Re: [Elecraft] Power Supply for KX3?

2015-09-10 Thread Jock Irvine
Thank you everyone for all the replies and good information. I've narrowed it down to either a Powerwerx supply, or the PAE-KX33. The PAE-KX33 looks great, but I'll probably go with the Powerwerx so that I have the option to power other, larger rigs. 73, Jock N1JI On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 10:22

Can anyone recommend a good, small power supply to use at home with my KX3? I've been using a TenTec 937 but it's moving to a new QTH soon. Thanks and 73, Jock N1JI __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

[Elecraft] KX3 Clock Not Keeping Time

2014-12-04 Thread Jock Irvine
I just finished assembling my new KX3 yesterday and I'm not sure if the real-time clock is working correctly. I set the time, but when I turn off the rig and turn it back on it's set to a completely different time. Am I missing something? Jock, N1JI

Yes, and I've tried disabling/Enabling it a few times. Whenever I turn the radio on, the clock starts at 00:68:00 then the seconds count up to 00:69:00. After another minute it's at 01:00:00 and it goes on from there. Thanks Sent from my iPhone On Dec 4, 2014, at 10:16 PM, Bob N3MNT
