Thanks for the clarification guys,
The probe is about to be removed from my K2/10 to be "stored" elsewhere
until needed!

Yep, mine drifts and I?ve had it up to a couple of minutes off. Surprisingly,
for a week?s time, it can be about a minute or so off. I will pay more
attention and keep track.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how accurate is the clock on KX3? The reason I ask is
because I activated a local SOTA peak last weekend and did another peak
this weekend. After setting the clock accurately last weekend, I did
not think about checking it this weekend but half way through this
weekend's activation I noticed my UTC time setting was 1hr and 17 mins
off! While it was easy enough to correct the log, is the clock expected
to drift this much in a week?

I wonder how easy/hard it would be to have the radio poll 10Mhz (like the
atomic clocks do) every so often when powered on, to keep the time more
accurately. That would be a pretty cool feature.

Dave,
Can you point to a "good" regulator and/or chjarger suitable for HF radio
use?
73, Igor UA9CDC
Yes, very good.
Alternative URL:-
http://preview.tinyurl.com/mznv6e2
Goes to the same place as quoted above..
You can often find them on eBay too (for a price!) I have a 45W version.
Take
care though, in bright sunlight, they can produce well over 28V to an open
cct or
low power load. A good regulator is needed. Otherwise, very good, and
very
portable.
Sadly, many of the "good" regulators (with MPPT functionality) are not
exactly
"RF quiet" for HF radio users.
73.
Dave G0WBX.

I cannot get the K3 scanning function
to work properly. ?I am following the instructions in the K3 manual pg 40
as well as the Fred Cady book pg. 46. I have used both the Elecraft K3 Memory
Editor
and entered the memories manually, to save the frequencies into the K3
memories. When I press M>V, the freqs stored in memory are only being
recalled to VFO A but not to VFO B. So when I press Scan, no scan commences. If
I program the desired freqs into VFO A & VFO B manually, and then press
Scan, I get M>V REQ in the display window and no scan start. I have put the
lower start freq
in VFO A and the Stop in VFO B. I have also saved the desired mode with each
memory pair.
?
So obviously I am missing something in
this process but it?s not apparent to me in the manual nor could I find in the
archives. So what am I missing?
?

I know this is not what you asked, however, it may be of interest to you
or someone else reading it.
IF you are using modern hearing aids, there are now blue-tooth links
available for shoving your stereo or TV directly to your hearing aids. I
use mine every morning when I get up to link the shack to me while I fix
breakfast. It is very useful. The same link can be used for cell phone
linking (all without wires), etc. If you happen to be hearing impaired,
you may want to look into it. I go through three perpendicular walls to
get to the kitchen from the shack, at a distance of about 50 feet. A
fourth wall is at a very shallow angle to the path, and also gone
through. I can go about 25 feet further than the kitchen, as long as I
wear the pendant on the side of my body that faces the shack.
