Most of the zip ties inside the Panduit were clipped out last night... I used them only to hold/form cables together as I run them in the Panduit. I will leave the wire ties at the entry and exit points to the Panduit to assist in keeping things tidy as they enter, or exit the Panduit. But..

Hi, I did a quick and dirty review of the software used to design the Patch Panel, at: www.nk7z.net top review... The tray is Panduit, see: http://www.panduit.com/heiler/SelectionGuides/D-WDSG01--SA-UKE-WiringDuctProduct-W.pdf I used the F type of Panduit. 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-K3] Latest on the new home for my K3...

My son is a robotics engineer and designer, so I knew he would be interested in the panel, which in my opinion is a work of art. He did make the following helpful comment, though: "Looks like it will be pretty nice! I want to know why he's zip tying everything inside the Panduit though. I've a

Yes, I’d like to know to and the source of the cable trays. It’s very neat and professional. Mind you, it seems to me, that lots of cool stuff is not available from UK suppliers :-( 73 de David, M0XDF This story concerns four people – Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an import

Hi Clay, I used the folks called Front Panel Express at: https://www.frontpanelexpress.com/ Took a few hours to learn the free software they provide, but overall it was easy. Not cheap, but very good results... They even have a version that runs under Linux... 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) h

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-K3] Interesting P3 Anomaly

It doesn't "necessarily" represent your transmitted signal, but in your case, it seems that it is, or at least very close.  Likewise for me.  There are amplifier stages following the IF which can [and often do] introduce distortion which won't show up if monitoring the IF frequency. 73, Fred [

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-K3] Interesting P3 Anomaly

Don't know what you mean "doesn't represent your transmitted signal" It is leakage of your signal at the IF, I see it with my SDR that is tied to the P3 IF out and it looks exactly like the signal I see on a spectrum analyzer using a coupler. de Dave K5MWR On March 15, 2020 8:11:07 PM CDT, B

No, I find the Utility doesn't do that. However, HRD/DM780 and FLDIGI will do that.  Just put the radio in TEST mode and send away. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 3/12/2020 10:47 AM, Tom and Karen Norris wrote: Are there K3s/K3 Utility settings that will allow me to monitor my K3s CW keyer sending in the

Re: [Elecraft] [Elecraft-K3] K3: Macro to make radio beep...

Here’s one way. You can send a string, say a letter ‘T’ (etc.) in CW mode with tone output only by embedding “<“ (RF off) and “>” (RF on) characters in a KYtext command. For example: KYW; The ‘W’ forces the K3 to complete the message send before moving on to other commands in the macro. W

I use a Genovation Keypad, as described at: https://www.nk7z.net/adding-external-keypad-k3/ As an example of just how versatile this is-- I tune in a DX station on the K3, then hit the SPOT button for a CW station to preset things. I then press a single button on the Genovation, and the follo
