OT KX3 wannabe in photo of Qct QST
Locked

In text for "A Radio by the Barbie" on page 20 of OCT QST the radio is listed as a KX3, however radio in photo is definitely not a KX3.

Perhaps it was a very early pre-production model, before they had
finished miniaturizing it sufficiently :-) Dave AA7EE On 9/16/2016 12:44 PM, Bob N3MNT wrote: > In text for "A Radio by the Barbie" on page 20 of OCT QST the radio is listed > as a KX3, however radio in photo is definitely not a KX3. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

That was mighty lame. From the photo it looks like an ancient Yaesu. Hence the need for the Honda generator.
But hey, he got his 15 minutes of fame, along with unending mockery. Perhaps a bit of grog with his "sustenance"? What I find more annoying is the ARRL didn't vet the photo first before publishing. I thought hams used to work there. Oh well perhaps this is the new paradigm for ham radio journalism.

It looks nothing like an "ancient Yaesu"...because is a Kenwood TS-830S, introduced in 1980. To this day it's one of the best hybrid-design ham transceivers ever made. It has two S2001A (equivalent to 6146B) tubes in the PA for 220 W PEP SSB, 180 W CW. Ham bands (including WARC) only. Gotta love a rig with PA PLATE and LOAD controls.
Still...what QST editor confused the TS-830S with a KX3, or any other all-solid state rig made since 1983? My guess is some youngster who doesn't know that rigs like this with vacuum tubes ever existed. :-) Mike / KK5F > ...From the photo it looks like an ancient Yaesu. > ... > Joe N9JR >> Perhaps it was a very early pre-production model, before they had finished miniaturizing it sufficiently :-) >> >> Dave >> AA7EE ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Good rig ID, Mike. Yes the TS-830S was a fine rig.
And it looks like his mic is the MC-60A. You have to wonder about the wisdom of running even 100 Watts into the MFJ loop while sitting that close to it. 73, Phil W7OX On 9/16/16 6:46 PM, Mike Morrow wrote: > It looks nothing like an "ancient Yaesu"...because is a Kenwood TS-830S, introduced in 1980.

The Honda generator provides the electromagnetic energy to energize the MFJ-1788.

And you have to wonder how much noise that
generator produces when receiving.

Post production screwups happen all the time. I had it happen to me
when I was a Tech Editor at QST in the mid-80's. Stuff happens. However, in this case, it might not have been, but always benefit of the doubt.

Sure - mistakes happen. That is why you have proof readers - or, in this
case, should have proof readers.
