Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft utilities configuration files?

Ron, The files may be labeled as "hidden".   To see the files, right click on the folder (select it), then "View", then make sure "Hidden Files" is checked. John AF6QO On 7/22/2018 7:30 PM, Ronald Genovesi wrote: > This may be more of a Windows problem than a Elecraft utilities problem,

Re: [Elecraft] Reflector change?

Ditto. I like it the way it is. Filtering is easy-peasy with any number of mailers. I use Thunderbird, but most have similar capabilities. 73 John AF6QO On 8/19/2017 11:09 AM, Richard Fjeld wrote: > Ditto > > Rich, n0ce > > > Sent from Mail

Re: [Elecraft] mic - David Clark

Hi Fred, Aviation headsets come with a variety of mikes, some dynamic, but most today are electret. "Noise Cancelling" in aviation lingo usually means some sort of seal over or in the ear. "Electronic Noise Cancelling" means the earpieces have active noise cancelling circuitry in addition to

Re: [Elecraft] Cleaning a K3

I will second Dick's caution of using any high pressure air or gas. The high flow rates can cause static charge buildup on higher impedance parts, causing over-voltage failures. Keep the flow rate and pressure lowdo not use an air compressor hose. The static buildup can happen no matter i

Thank you David. That article is very good and answered a lot of questions for me. 73 John AF6QO On 3/11/2016 8:03 AM, David Anderson wrote: You may want to have a look at this for some background on real world frequency stability, and remember that the K3 isn't phase locked to the external

Re: [Elecraft] Slighty off topic - 80 meter second harmnic how to stop

Don't forget rain gutters and downspouts that may be slightly corroded at the joints, forming a diode. They make nice frequency doublers due to the non-linear element. John AF6QO On 2/22/2016 11:58 PM, Ian White wrote: I feel sure that Jim and W3LPL are right. That rasping note is a big, big c

Re: [Elecraft] Lightning Protection (was-Re: suggested PC???)

As Fred mentioned, MOVs gradually fail. And the failure mechanism is a gradual reduction of the "trigger voltage". As the trigger voltage slowly drops, the MOVs start disappating power at the very peak of the AC line voltage. If you are lucky, you find a warm device. But most often they fai
