Re: [Elecraft] K4 remote protocol

2020-05-21 Thread Steve Anness
Hello Bob, I will definitely let someone more familiar with the Elecraft remote answer in more detail but I did want to share. TCP and HTTP protocols happen at different layers of the network stack. TCP is at the transport layer, it defines how to send the data and deals with the actual transpor

Hello Tommy, I just wanted to add. As a KX2 owner, if you did go with the KX2 you would not be unsatisfied if your desires were to operate QRP on 10-80 meters and planned to do portable work. Otherwise I would tend to agree with the others, the K3 is an excellent choice, I have used them in guest

[Elecraft] Getting into CW and WOW! Praise for the KX2

2020-05-02 Thread Steve Anness
Recently I decided after almost 19 years in ham radio I would finally do what it takes to become a CW operator. After about 10 days of re-learning the code and also spending a fair amount of time with sending practice using both my dad's old Radio Shack Straight Key (Ameco look alike) and my MFJ-5

[Elecraft] KX2 Safe Operating PA Temperature

2020-03-26 Thread Steve Anness
This question was posed last October by another on the reflector in regards to the KX3 but does not look like there was a response. I had posed the question once to Elecraft support and believe my email got lost in the fray. When I posted the question to Elecraft support it was a month after I re

Re: [Elecraft] Who has the AX1 antenna DX record?

So far Hawaii from Texas. Operating with the AX1 running 5 watts on on phone during the CQ WPX SSB contest. Using the antenna mounted on my third floor balcony. Need to take it out and get a little higher elevation and see what happens. The KX2 was an impulse buy, I like it but need to use it mo
