[Elecraft] CE labels, band limits - no thanks!

No problem, this is familiar to me - not the first time my name is mistaken to be for a YL - and most likely not the last time either (sigh!)... :-) 73 (Mr. Kristinn Andersen, TF3KX) Julian G4ILO wrote: On Nov 17, 2007 12:06 PM, Ian White GM3SEK gm3sek at ifwtech.co.uk wrote: Kristinn has

[Elecraft] CE labels, band limits - no thanks!

I have been reading some of the concerns that European amateurs seem to have about the need for CE marking, band limits., etc. Regarding the CE issue I believe that radio amateurs, who need to pass tests for their license to operate, construct and modify their own equipment, should not be

[Elecraft] K2/100 or K3/10?

I own neither yet, but I have an IC746 that serves me fine for now as a 100W base rig. In this situation I am leaning towards the K2/QRP as a next rig, for the reason of portability. An excellent transceiver with a battery pack, an antenna tuner and all, ready to take along on travels or put up

[Elecraft] Internal K2/K3 S-meter resolution for computer recording?

I would like to use the K2 or the K3 occasionally as a field strength meter, for example take the rig a couple of km/miles away from my QTH and record the signal strength from my home station. This would be useful in antenna experiments. So, the question is: How much internal resolution of the

[Elecraft] Internal K2/K3 S-meter resolution for computer recording?

Thanks, Lyle. So, to make sure I understand this, all of the measurments (dBV and AFV) are done at the same point, at an AF level that is independent of the AF gain control. Furthermore, by turning the AGC off I will have a relatively linear relationship between the RF input level at the antenna

[Elecraft] Suggested options with K2? Portable/contesting/CW/RTTY

Hi: I am considering obtaining a K2. My primary operating modes are CW and RTTY. Furthermore, I envision I will be using the K2 a lot for portable operation (family/business travels), but also some for contesting (again, CW and RTTY). What options do you current owners feel most valuable

[Elecraft] An external PA with the K2?

Hi: I am considering obtaining a K2 and just posted a question regarding the most useful options for QRP. Now, when using the K2 at home, particularly for contesting, I may want to run the full 100W. Instead of integrating the 100W PA permanently into the rig, and not having it instantly
