This is the solution. Bob showed me how to do it before the UNSAFE option

If any of Jim Kennedy's (K6MIO/KH6) talks about solar predictions are available
online, they are really fantastic. He's an authority on the subject.

Embedded comments. I'm a contester & weak signal VHF exclusively. YMMV

I have the new synth boards, since that was clearly worthwhile. Already have
outboard preamp & don't care about USB since at this point seems like I've
accumulated a herd of USB/RS232 converters that work fine, plus Tascam audio
interface.
I'll have to check DSP board rev. Was there a specific

I have two original K3. Wondering if I missed something. The "S" has
improvements to receive audio? Or is this just referring to the new synthesizer?

This is concurrent with California QSO Party (cqp.org). So, you'll have a whole
lot of stations calling CQ CQP while the QRP Leaf Peepers are calling CQLP.
Confusing?

He said "amperage will double with 120v amp wiring" meaning that if you run the
amp at 120 instead of 240, current is doubled.

If wire run ends up being 50' you could see a 2V drop at 13A. Agree that
switching supply in amp won't care. 26W of heat in the wire inside a wall would
bug me.

I take what code requires as the minimum wire gauge. For shorter runs it's
fine. But measure the run length, multiply by 2 (two wires) and calculate IR
voltage drop. It's not a big expense when you're installing to use 10 instead
of 12 awg if it would make a noticeable difference.
Seems like i
I prefer a sawzall to rendering a window inoperable.
I use a Peco TF115-001 (about $30) wired to a portable oil filled electric
heater on low. Thermostat set to 55F is enough so gear isn't cold enough to
form condensation as outside temps warm in the morning. I'm in coastal N
