Re: [Elecraft] Recommend a K3s foot switch

I use a Heil FS-3. I just cut the 1/4 in plug off along with much of the surplus cable and fitted an RCA plug. Couldn't be easier. Regards, Mike VP8NO On 17/04/2019 09:29, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: Yes and the length of the 1/4" phone plug plus the length of the adapter to an RCA co

Re: [Elecraft] A New Choke Book - Some Questions

Hi Jim, Thanks. I don't know how I missed the section "Chokes in Series"! I really appreciate the extensive work you did to build and measure all the chokes. You are making a difference to small suburban stations like mine that live in a sea of noise. Cheers Mike, VK1OO

Re: [Elecraft] KX3/PX3 on 2 meters

Okay well I tried transmitting at 144.49 from my HT and yep! Sure enough a big orange signal on the PX3 so it seems to be working fine, I guess the 2 meter background noise is so much less than on HF apparently. It is certainly totally blank on the PX3 though without an actual signal. Mike AB7RU

Re: [Elecraft] Will there be a K4

couldn’t cost justify the added expense. The Wizards of Watsonville always seem to have something up their sleeves and it will be interesting to see what’s next. If the new offering is a greater performance improvement than the K3s, I might be tempted. -- Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC - "

Tom, You cite my name in your post, but I have absolutely no idea of what you refer. I built my K1 serial 175 in November 2000 and I experienced NO problems start to finish. Quote the posting to which you refer, including its date. Mike / KK5F -Original Message- >From: Tom John

Re: [Elecraft] Legacy = Low Latency: FSK-D mode

My Model 15 took a lot of 3-in-1 oil to keep it running back in the late 1970s. I can still smell the warm oil. I worked Antigua on 20M and that QSO started RTTY DXing for me. -- Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC - "It's about DX!" > On Mar 22, 2019, at 10:01 AM, Michael
