Re: [Elecraft] Poor band conditions? Try the SCAN function

From time to time I set up a wireless intercom/camera ("baby cam") in front of the K3 while scanning. Then I can monitor the action remotely down in the workshop or while working out, fixing dinner, etc. (Now, if I only had a wireless remote control to fully operate the K3's receiver...) 73,

I also have often thought that a user settable pause time would be most useful. I usually scan when I'm doing other things around the shack (or in another room), not sitting right in front of the rig watching the scan. 73, Drew AF2Z On 04/24/16 23:42, lstavenhagen wrote: Yes, I use the

Re: [Elecraft] Poor band conditions? Try the SCAN function

Yes, I use the scan function on both my K2's and my K3 and K3S. Next best thing to a panadapter available. One thing I have noticed about it on my K2 (and probably the K3 also), is it has two lengths of pauses - one which is just a few seconds and another about 30 secs or so. But which length of

Re: [Elecraft] Poor band conditions? Try the SCAN function

The bands have indeed been in lousy shape lately; There was a SP RTTY contest on this weekend and I made two QSOs on 21 MHz, zero on 28 MHz and around 130 of them on 20M & 40M. Only three Q's on 80M. The bands were just lousy. While the bands just aren't good at all right now, thanks for the

There was a large solar "event" a few days ago. (;-( 73 K0PP On Apr 24, 2016 6:44 PM, "Wayne Burdick" wrote: > Here in Northern California, at least at my QTH, the bands seem to be in > very poor shape. (It doesn't help that my OCF dipole has one leg on the > ground due to

[Elecraft] Poor band conditions? Try the SCAN function

Here in Northern California, at least at my QTH, the bands seem to be in very poor shape. (It doesn't help that my OCF dipole has one leg on the ground due to high winds.) At times like this, the SCAN function available on most Elecraft transceivers can help you find signals you might
