K3 w/Aluminum Spinner?

[Don Rasmussen]

Still on dialup in Mike? Apologies if that's your only
option.

Takes only a couple seconds to load here.

The photo is a little grainy is from the ISO mode on
the camera, which allows the flash to stay off.

Otherwise it severely degrades the photo.

Regards back, ;-)
Don

Or don't if you don't want a grainy 3mb picture of an
aluminium disk.

Never heard of compression?

Regards,

It was still a -huge- photo!  And, I'm no longer dial-up. (:-)
All I could do is pan around and view small portions.  No
practical way for me to see it as a single photo.

73! Ken

Does this mean there is a degree of Mojo to found in the K3 after all this
wonderful dialogue of why this or that nit doesn't work?

I certainly hope so My K2 and K1 are sitting here doing the Mojo thing every
time I turn them on.

Guess I can now entertain thoughts of getting a QRP K3 to round out my
family of Elecraft products.

Been holding off as I have been known to whine with the best of the best
about truly insignificant things in the past.

And then finding it was due to my repeated lack of following the directions
in the manual (you know RTFM) that was causing me to go astray.

Also found out that by not starching the briefs the personal stress factor
was greatly reduced as well, but that's another story.

so back into the wood work I go.

Ron - agreed 100%

I could desire for nothing more in K3.

I'll crop those files for the benefit of anyone taking
the time to view. !!

73,
Don

But... your Mojo factor won't be total until you also have a loaded KX1! The KX1 is in my opinion one of the most sexy transceivers available to mankind. :)

If you haven't been backpacking before, you'll start backpacking then - tent included! (don't forget to bring emergency food provision which in my case was a can of sardines and a six pack...)

Here's a link to a picture (32kb) of a very happy LB3SA on his first solo tent/backpacking trip with a freshly buildt KX1 and buddy pole: http://www.la8z.com/images/img5.jpg 

Are - LB3SA
KX1, K2 and K3  (I know - but a K1 will join the others shortly after I receive my KRX3)
