KX3 Stability
Locked
 
|
I think that the external or internal locking to a stable 10 MHz
source is probably of a higher priority for UHF and Microwave users, as well as JT65 and other EME'rs, than a less than highly stable internal 2M xvrtr. A small, external phase locked LO, 2M xvrtr box or module, that can be driven by the common 10MHz stable source, is also doable. This also has the advantage that if 2 M is not immediately needed it can be turned off, or left a home, in the interest of power savings . I've bought some 10 MHz double oven OCXO modules from an offshore surplus dealer, with good results, for $38 shipped. They claim 2 X10 -12 and the brand name is C-Max. Ideal for phase locked LOs. Google "Flyingbest's Equipment" (also on EBay) for a list of their sale items. Delivery has been less than 10 days.

I am so stoked! I received a few hours ago notification that my KX3 is arriving soon.
I am so looking forward to taking it with me wherever I go. It may help me pass the time when my wife is in labor at the hospital if it arrives soon (she is due two weeks from today). Just need to figure out where i can install the antenna in the maternity ward at Sharp Rees Stealy woman and baby hospital. Thanks Elecraft!!!

Erik,
You may want to save the bubble wrap. When you finish the KX3 wrap it in the bubble wrap. It may not hurt as much when your wife beats you with it ;o) 73 Joe K2UF No trees were harmed in the sending of this e-mail; however, many electrons were inconvenienced. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Keith Heimbold Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 6:15 PM To: Elecraft Group Subject: [Elecraft] KX3 Shipment notification I am so stoked!

Update: baby is still in the oven and KX3 shipment is due to arrive Friday. Just received UPS notification. Maybe our new baby boy and my new KX3 will arrive on same day. That would be awesome!

Keith, I wouldn't suggest to your XYL that they are both in the same "awesome"
class! They both have been in the oven about the same length of time, though .... ;-) GL Friday!

Just think. If products were priced on a $/watt basis, scaling up the
KX3 price would yield a price of >10K for the K3-100. 73 DE Brian/K3KO On 7/18/2012 23:42, Lance Collister, W7GJ wrote: > Keith, I wouldn't suggest to your XYL that they are both in the same "awesome" > class!

Many years ago, $/watt actually *was* a measure used in evaluating
transmitters [they were all either transmitters or receivers then, until Art Collins invented the KWM-2]. Transmitters all sort of followed the same architectural pattern and were not what you might today call "feature-rich." "Press the key, make RF." Bandswitching was a feature compared to plug-in coils. Menus hadn't been invented either. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org On 7/18/2012 4:51 PM, Brian Alsop wrote: > Just think.

We got the first name picked out but middle name still eludes us. Not a bad idea. Maybe Wayric.

Features of the new transceivers are nice, but there's something to be
said for the simplicity of the old boatanchors. Receivers and transmitters had similar controls, with similar names, across many manufacturers. This was handy at a club station, Field Day or a multi-radio contest effort. None of this "having the manual open at all times" back then. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 7/18/2012 5:05 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > Many years ago, $/watt actually *was* a measure used in evaluating > transmitters [they were all either transmitters or receivers then, until > Art Collins invented the KWM-2].

If a boy: Wayne, Eric or Bill! :-) The latter is preferred, of course.

None of these truly became popular in the sense of "all over the place," and none of them hastened the transition to SSB like the KWM-2 did. Tuning SSB on a receiver was hard, and then getting your transmit freq zero beat was daunting at first, and still hard even as SSB caught on. The KWM-2A [same rig with a second crystal deck], became the HF workhorse of the US military [and I know several others too] in the 60's/70's. Unbelievably sturdy and survivable, we pulled 42 of them out the back of low flying C-130's that snagged our LAPES cable, and 42 of them worked and JJY was exactly where it should be. Our mission rules called for us to turn each pair [2 per mission], along with the rest of the gear, to slag puddles with thermite before we were recovered. Team of 25, 3 hams, really really hard. :-(( It wasn't the first transceiver, or the only, but it, and the S-line which would also transceive, probably changed ham radio as much as the transition from spark to CW. Now, we take it for granted, we have "radios" and they go both ways. I always meant to write to Art and tell him how sturdy his transceiver was. Alas, never had time while there, and by the time I came home, I was marrying Andrea, there followed the usual kids, and I never got around to it. Then, he died. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
