Joe I'm not sure if you will get true diversity reception unless the transverters are identical and have frequency locked oscillators. I stand corrected if there are experts on this forum ! Regards John G4ZTR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Re: [Elecraft] Import to the UK

Hi Simon Just to confirm: you'll pay a Parcel Force handling charge and then VAT on the total value. There should be no import taxes. If you have a dispute, it's easier to pay and argue afterwards, otherwise you won't get you nice new rig until it's all settled. Your letter from Parcel Force

Re: [Elecraft] k3:TX Monitor-some odd sound -beta?

John Yes, I get this artefact. It's been evident ever since I got my K3. You will notice that it is made worse by excessive mic gain or compression. I hope it is an artifact in the monitor circuit, and not on the transmitted signal ! Regards John G4ZTR -Original Message- From:

Re: [Elecraft] Adding options later for the K3

Mike It's refreshing to hear from someone who is not considering buying the 100w kit with almost every single option on day one ! Building the basic kit will give you a first class rig at a very competitive price and will give you the confidence to go back inside and add options when you need

Re: [Elecraft] {K-3} K144XV

The datasheet is quite clear - 2m reception is possible on main and sub-receivers. Diversity reception is not, because there's only one 2m antenna connection. Waiting for my k144XV too ! John G4ZTR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

It looks like TX Delay is variable from 8 to 20mS. Perhaps this range could be increased in the software ? John G4ZTR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Giulio Pico - IW3HVB Sent: 08 January 2010 09:23 To:

Re: [Elecraft] Spurious

Ken I wonder how big the signal was in his receiver? Sounds like it could be overload at the other end. Do you have another rig in your shack that you could do the same test with a local ? John G4ZTR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 Receiver Noise Level -- Evaluation and Adjustment

Hello Sverre Thanks for putting your spectral analysis on the web page. It's very interesting and I decided to do my own test. I used Spectrum Laboratory, but it displays similar information to Spectran. I have deviated from white or pink noise, because most of the time we are listening to real

Re: [Elecraft] K144XV or XV144 transverter?

David The secret with these RA Mitsubishi modules is getting the heat away, and they're not very efficient at all. The earlier M series were a little better (I notice that's what shows on Elecraft's web site pictures but no doubt they have had to upgrade when stocks ran out). Looks like the

Re: [Elecraft] K3 used prices - UK

I think that part of Julian's original mail has so far gone unanswered - that is the question of valuing used Elecraft K3 series equipment. There hasn't been much for sale recently so there is little to go on. My starting point, I think, would be around 2/3rds of the price you paid. Of course,

Brett There's one more parameter to check: AF LIM If you set this to small numbers (say 1 to 5) you will get almost no audio with AGC OFF. Hope it's as simple as that ? Regards John G4ZTR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

[Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning noise reduction
