[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net April 3, noisey but fun tonight

so much enthusiasm and WOW in giving his impression of the K3 that he was overloading his little FT and proceeded to whack his antenna into a tree. Look him up on QRZ if you don't believe it. So there IS some fun on the Elecraft SSB Net. Y'all join in some time, hear?

addle-style also. eHam reviews are mostly 5 (including mine). This is the "solid state" approach :-) Windy KM5Q / Santa Fe, NM There are so many to choose from ... it's hard to make a single recommendation -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Se

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 and Solar Panel

ally don't know, but I just want you to take caution. Windy KM5Q Hello all, I plan to conduct some tests. I have a small solar panel that puts out 50ma maximum. I'll connect it to my "pimped-out KX1" and see how it charges the 11.8v Li-Poly Battery. More to come... 72, Kan

just put the signal out to see if anyone is lurking. We were off to a good start a few weeks ago, but activity has faded. I hope we can get active enough to at least maintain a meeting point. If there isn't much interest, maybe we should go to one night per week. Windy KM5Q Sa

[Elecraft] K3: KXV-3 for bandscope only - add later?

to do after the assembly. Any advice from you builders? Or, an option might be to instal an IF output for the scope without purchasing the KXV-3. Is it just a cable and jack, or is there some isolating circuitry? (If it's very involved, I'd just get the whole KXV-3.) Thanks!
