Re: [Elecraft] [P3] P3 woes - repaired but now claims my K3s puts out 873W!

Wait, shouldn’t the sensor be before the antenna tuner? I don’t think a sensor should be connected where it’s not 50 ohms. Al W6LX/4 > On Apr 7, 2023, at 9:22 PM, Dave New, N8SBE wrote: > > Alan, > > I tried changing the SensorCal entry, but you are correct there isn't enough > range.

By the way, Jim, in case you were wondering, you sounded absolutely superb here in KY. And you were not one of the offending Big Guns. I mean, yes, you’re a Big Gun but no, I didn’t have you in mind during my rant. You know what I mean. :^) Al W6LX/4 > On Nov 9, 2022, at 6: > Great advice,

Re: [Elecraft] Receiver impedance?

2022-05-25 Thread a******@sbcglobal
That’s nice to know. A long time ago I measured the input impedance of a Yaesu transceiver with a network analyzer. I looked for but couldn’t find my measured data but I remember it varied from band to band between 25 and 100 ohms, so within 2:1 VSWR. Al W6LX > On May 25, 2022, at 1:06 PM,

Wait, it’s been determined that the K4 definitely has a pin one problem? Al W6LX/4 > On Jun 21, 2021, at 11:08 AM, David Gilbert wrote: > >  > Does any of that mitigate the Pin 1 problem that K9YC keeps pointing out? At > first glance it doesn't appear to me that it would. > > Dave

Re: [Elecraft] Ideas for an FT8 Radio

2018-12-30 Thread a******@sbcglobal
That is key. In a little while FT8 will fall out of favor as amateurs move on to the next digital mode, a cycle that has repeated for the entire history of digital modes. An FT8 specific radio wouldn’t interest, but an “infinitely flexible” digital mode platform with integral computer might.

One man’s serendipity is another man’s looking at the available antenna tuner topologies and choosing one with a very useful secondary function. Al W6LX > Any rejection due to an antenna matching system is just serendipity and > depending on it for that purpose is foolhardy, IMHO, of course.

Ian, now that I think of it, wasn’t the first ARRL KSYN3A review in error and then an updated review came out, or something like that? Does anybody remember? I wonder if Ian and I are looking at two different reviews of the same product. . Al. W6LX

Thanks, Dave. I used that extra word “full” for no reason. Thanks for confirming that it does diversity. I had heard that the VFOs weren’t actually phase-locked. Glad to hear they are. Merry Christmas, Al. W6LX > On Dec 24, 2017, at 8:56 PM, David Bunte wrote: > > Al - >

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Clock bug?

I must hold the record for threads hijacked by the group. I just wanted to report what I thought might be a bug, not re-think the whole clock thing. I like the clock the way it is. Al W6LX > On Jan 28, 2016, at 11:02 AM, Dave Cole wrote: > > Hi Harry, > > The K3 utility
