    Elecraft K3

    I hold an out of band license with ECOM and some of the frequencies out of band are scaled down to low power even though there is a 500 watt restriction. I want to take the radio from 10-20 watts to 100 watts like on the ham bands. Is there some kind of software modification to lift it from...

    NEW al-811hd making popping sounds in my radio

    I have a AL-82 and run it right to the amp.(rca jack) Should I get a keyer to step down voltage? Seems to be working ok for me. Am I going to run into problems later?

    You go Ameritron...

    I have an Al-82 and common sense tells me not to defeat the safety switch when playing with high voltages. I think I remember something like that when I took my ham test back in 1992. I may have forgotten a lot of #@%$ but I'll never forget studying about safety! Who wants to end up as a silent key?

    Buddipole users: let's hear your story

    I don't own a Buddy Pole but I was talking to a station on 10 meters from the UK and he was giving me a 5/5 with his Buddy Pole. My Imax 2000 and his Buddy Pole was enough to talk for about 10 minutes when the propagation as in there.

    Worked Japan Yesterday On 10 Meters

    I was hoping it would come in agn but no good here on the east coast. Japan was clipping an s-7 on the meter. This reminds me of the 70's. My Imax 2000 at 13 foot pole did the job when it came in. Cool stuff.

    New Imax 2000

    I can get 20 meters out of my IMAX on a 14 foot pole. I use a Dentron Super Tuner but it is very narrow when you move off frequency. You have to keep touching it up. I get signals close to the G5RV or about the same. The tip of the IMAX is 25 feet up and the G5RV is 25 feet up. It will tune...

    25Mhz odd stations...

    What is happening is M.U.F. which is maximum usable frequency. The MUF hasn't reached up to the 11 meter band. HFRadio.org - Propagation - Maximum Usable Frequency, MUF Basics - high frequency radio

    Broke the AF knob on my K3 - great service from Elecraft!

    The same thing happened to me and they took good care of me. Sent the knobs in three days and I was back in business.

    How Are Things Going With Your Elecraft K3?

    Who Fixes Amplifers At A Reasonable Rate?

    Mine is not broke yet but in the case it does goes up, anyone know who is good around here?

    What would be the reaction if Hams used 11m legally using their calls.

    The opportunity is wide open for someone to go to QRZ.com and find out who is behind the call sign.

    Elecraft K3 Review

    Ok, I have an Elecraft K3. I can't find the crackling popping noise that is giving me s-9 from 22 mhz to 30 mhz. That is a project in which I'll need to go fox hunting in the neighborhood. But I am glad I have this radio for that reason. I hit the noise blanker and the other filters and can...

    Just pulled the trigger on a new Elecraft K3

    Congratulations! I love my K3 and had it for about two years already. I never get tired of it and get great audio reports. Sounds like you have the same stuff. I think I did a little over kill. I have the sub receiver but hardly use it. This radio is great. A few days ago, I talked to Moscow on...

    Elecraft K3 ?????? Fact or Myth???????

    I had mine almost two years and love it. Great receiver. I run it hard with MARS. No complaints here. I am still not tired of it and I'm going to hold onto it for a long time.

    What's the deal with 14.272?

    CB today

    The CB has cleared up because the sunspot cycle is not like it used to be. The CB is cleaner than it used to be because all the idiots that used to start trouble are now on the 75 meters doing the same thing. They've evolved to ham radio. The other day, my wife yelled down the stairs about all...

    What's A Good Antenna To Use

    What's a good antenna to use on the 75 meter CB band? I need something to walk the dog and drop the maul. My Drake amp puts out like a walkie talkie. I can't get my signal to go around the world once to hear my own echo. I'm lucky to get across the pond.
