Like they say, "It's all good". I don't know anyone nearby that has a K@, Did you mean "K2" or "K3"? I have a K2 and at least one other regular here does too. Great rigs. I've used the KX1 and K1 as well. but at Dayton next year I'm going to haunt the Elecraft booth. You and a lot of others... Elecraft has shipped a few dozen K3s so far. The first two production runs sold out long ago, if you order now, expect a few weeks' wait as they catch up on backlog. Some reviews have started to appear on the 'net, and eventually there will be QST and Sherwood measurements of the truly amazing numbers. I worked a couple of stations using K3s in CW SS last weekend, so they *are* on the air. From the descriptions, assembling a K3 is more like building a PC than it is assembling a Heathkit. The boards and modules are all preassembled; you simply put it together and configure it. Which is not a trivial job! And like a PC, you have a choice of which options to add to the basic unit. Options can be added at initial build or later. This helps keep the price down - if you don't need things like general coverage receive or a second receiver, you don't have to pay for them. I don't work for Elecraft and my only interest is as a stisfied customer and builder. - 73 de Mike N3LI Congrats on the new call! Thanks. I was toying around, not too serious, looking for something a little shorter, and found this one. I like it both for Morse and Voice. And N5EE was taken already, hehe Yup, one of the shortest possible US CW calls that's not a 1x1. It's tied with AE5E. Compare with a call like KQ0JJJ.... Besides, "N3LI" has the same rhythm as "N2EY"... 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Beat you. I got 100 on all three tests (amateur elements 2, 3 and 4).
I will admit that there was some rote memorization involved, especially on the parts that I didn't know anything about (calculations involving imaginary numbers, for example). -- Klystron When I started studying for the Advanced or maybe it was the Extra class exam I was somewhat intimidated by the section on imaginary numbers, J operator, etc. I studied it in college to get my electronics degree but that was quite a while ago. My first thought was I can just guess at these questions and if I miss them all I will still pass the test. Then I decided to just memorize the (Radio Shack) study material, not the formulas or the math to solve the problem. I passed first try. Ace - WH2T .. |

A lot of people don't understand this until they get "dinged" so to speak. When I teach a class, I try to emphasize this.

The monitoring stations used to call that "shooting fish in a barrel" back in the days when they did spectrum cruising (proactive enforcement). -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon e-mail: k2asp [at] arrl [dot] net |
