[Elecraft] P3

2010-08-02 Thread Larry Godek
I wonder how many of the P3 have been sold to date or promised as the case may be.  I'm beginning to squirm in my chair but i like to wait a bit on a new product to see what kind of problems show up and how they are going to be resolved.  Sure looks nice though.  Be interesting to hear some

[Elecraft] Display error

2010-07-28 Thread Larry Godek
In chasing my audio at the Line out jacks problem i noticed that when i turn on the Sub rx i get a GF error and then the frequency display shows the dialed frequency.  It's just there momentarily.  This has been happening for some time but i forgot about it. Today for some reason i noticed

[Elecraft] Line out audio

2010-07-21 Thread Larry Godek
Aha!  Another fellow who experiences the same thing i do: I quote: Unfortunately, when I have to adjust audio level with the radio's volume pot(s), all the other levels downstream also change (line out is controlled by the volume pot) It certainly would be nice to have a FIXED level out of that

[Elecraft] Line out audio

There is a Line Out level adjustment in the K3 configuration menu. Set it to NOR mode (fixed-level output, does not change with AF Gain control) and set the output level to about 7 (pretty low). This avoids distortion caused by too hot an output level into the sound card. The previous was sent

[Elecraft] Receiver audio.

I use both the VE7CC cluster and the VHFDX.net as well but the VHFDX.net page has some drawbacks.  Yes it does show you where the band is open to but those lines may be out of date, excessive time displayed.  I've made postings to it and came back half an hour later and they were still shown.

I have IE something or other and don't use it.  I also have Firefox on here which i used to use all the time.  Then it got to the point where it continually asked me about pop-up blocker and do you want Firefox to remember this password.  I got tired of trying to fix both problems so now i use

For those of you who were sleeping or writing comments to the list here this morning, 6 meters was open in the grandest i've seen it in years.  Hundreds of paths from the SE thru the NW part of the country working into Europe and even the middle east.  Unfortunately it didn't get into western

One of the things to keep in mind is that having a receiver to hot is not always good.  It's kind of like a repeater that has either a hot receiver and low power transmitter or poor receiver and a high power transmitter.  Sometimes called the Alligator syndrome. You might be able to hear them

[Elecraft] Intermod or mixing?

I've got some local noise around here that sounds like a water heater or sorts or something along that line.  Anyway it's really giving me fits on 6 meters.  I ahve to run the NB almost all the time and that distorts the signals and sometimes it doesn't even clean up the noise.  Doesn't matter
