** KX1 K1 K2 and K3, What the hecks a Wiki? **

[Don Rasmussen]

KX1 K1 K2 and K3 - What's a Wiki?

Whether you own a KX1,K1,K2, or have a K3 coming, you
probably have something to say about it. Something
relevant and factual that may be on your own website,
in your notes, or even in your head.

How can you and your friends easily share this
information?

How can other people that are just entering your area
of interest find the contributions of yourself and
your friends in one, unified easy location.

The answer is the wiki.

There is now a wiki for Elecraft KX1/K1/K2. There is
not much there right now, but there will be if you
bring it. "If you bring it, they will come."

There is also a new wiki for the Elecraft K3.

You have to wonder how much shared information there
could be for a product that is not yet shipping in
volumes yet, but here is one example.

N1EU Barry has a very elaborate website that he
supports and he has done quite a bit with contesting
and diversity mode reception. Much of what he has
documented already pertains and applies to the new K3.
As it develops, many would be interested to know how
the K3 features diversity mode reception in real life.


Barry has graciously added a section to the K3 wiki
documenting what we know so far about this, and
provided links to his website and other experts
websites about this topic.

How many topics might there be today, or in the future
that might be elaborated on?

It's pretty much endless, the thing to remember is
that there is a single point of entry for all of this
good information for KX1, K1, and K2:

http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/KX1_K1_K2_Wikipedia_at_ZeroBeat.NET

and the point of entry for K3 is:

http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Wikipedia_at_ZeroBeat.NET

These are works in progress, but we have it started.

Please stop by, visit, and decide if there is a page
of information you can share.

The list sysop will tell you how to add your page and
will link it into the system, given the eham
experience we cannot allow pages to be changed or
added immediately.

Anyone that adds a page may at some point have it
edited for spelling, etc. but for the most part it's
first come first serve on posting your pages, after
that they're protected.

We're fully aware that this does not fit the purists
view of the wiki, but given the subject and scope of
Elecraft transceivers this will be the most effective.

I hope everyone bookmarks these two pages and finds
that they would suggest them to anyone that's mildly
curious about the respective page's topics. Also
before posting any general questions to the reflector,
these pages should really get a visit. Not only is the
official Elecraft K3 FAQ available on the wiki, but
also user contributed FAQ's as well.

I'd like to extend a speial invite to Eric, Wayne, and
Lisa Jones - I'm sure everyone would like to know
what's going on in her world right about now. ;-)

the testers too!
