Off-topic, but I need help.

Robin Kiszka
Sorry for the off-topic posting, but maybe someone has an easy answer here.

When looking at the KX3 topics, the latest I see is from mid 2017. When I go
to the Main Board and select List by Topics, then I see all the topics
including those for 2018. The problem is it includes all the other forms as
well. List by Topics is not available in the KX3 list? Can someone explain
to me how I can get the KX3 list to display the latest topics?

Thanks

The problem is if KX3 is not is the subject line, it will not get filtered to
the KX3 group. It will end up under all as you have seen.

KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7600 accessory cable

Elecraft mailing list
Just received my the kap500 and found out it was missing the accessory cable which goes from the icom 7600 to the kat500. Elecraft is sending one but it might take a week. In the mean time does anyone have the accessory pin outs to rca plug so i can make one and use my new toy.
Thank youKenKc1icn

Re: KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7600 accessory cable

Don Wilhelm
Ken,

Look at your Icom 7600 documentation.  I believe the 'keyword' may be
"Send" or Keyout or something of that nature (PTT should be an input to
the transceiver, not an output, but some manufacturers mix them up
causing confusion - check the documentation).
Connect that output from your transceiver first to the KAT500 AMP KEY
connector and from the other KAT500 AMP KEY connector to the KPA500.
That allows the KAT500 to disable the amplifier keying if the KAT500
needs to tune.

You should then be "good to go" with the basic cabling.  When you get
the proper cable, it will integrate better with your Icom, but the basic
cabling will get you on the air with your new toys.

I think there's something more broken with Nabble, as there are plenty of
posts that include the model number in the title that aren't filtered to the
correct subgroup.

I really wish management would join the 21st century and switch from email
to a message board to eliminate all the useless emails for those of us who
don't own every Elecraft product.

Barry,

Nabble is not controlled by Elecraft, contact the Nabble administrator
about that problem.
The only email group that Elecraft controls is the Elecraft email list
from elecraft at mailman dot qth dot net.

Please *don't* switch to a message board!  I can't find anything on
those things.
I have my filters all set up for the Elecraft reflector.

I'll second that plea! I hate message boards. Too hard to find past
topics, follow threads, etc. With an email list I suck down all the
messages and my email client (Thunderbird) happily sorts them according
to my filters with no effort on my part.

There are lots of great tools to sort E-Mail.  I've mentioned them before.

What I hate about message boards: someone will sign in, leave question,
people will jump in to solve the problem -- and the person asking may
never return to the board.

Message Boards (Forums, whatever) are a pull technology.  You have to go
to the site to participate.  E-Mail is a push.

If you tire of sorting manually look into POPfile.  I know it's labelled
as a spam filter, but it can easily sort the K3S and KPA-1500 posts from
the KX2/KX3 posts, separate antenna discussions into one folder, digital
modes to another folder, CW to a folder, etc.

It is just that too many do not seem to have fully grasped email after about 3 plus decades. They seem to be content with (and sometimes confused by) HTML.

"Message board"??   Do you really want to go back to the 1980s BBS days?
Using an e-mail system that downloads to my computer "while the city
sleeps" and sorts them by topic. all untouched by human brain, is much
easier for me.

When one cuts one's teeth on torn-tape Telex/Teleprinter systems of the
1950s/60s, e-mail is the greatest thing since sliced bread.!  And I
don't have to send a line of BELLS to get the message center to ACK
receipt of the message!

Makes me want to fire up the K2 for the next RTTY contest......  :)

Re: Off-topic, but I need help.

Don Wilhelm
Phil,

Right you are!

My email is sorted automatically when it is received (I use Thunderbird
although other email clients have similar capability).  I put it into
separate folders with the filters based on something in the subject
line.  For instance, I use a filter to place all email containing
[Elecraft] into my Elecraft folder - that gets it out of my Inbox and
into a folder that could be considered as my own "Elecraft Digest".
I can then read the posts one at a time and delete those not of
interest, reply to those I want to comment on, or save for future
reference.  Then I can do a SEARCH if I want to see posts referencing a
particular topic (or individual).
It gives me a lot of flexibility.

Once a year or so, I trim off all posts older than a year old so the
folder does not get too big.  I figure if I have not needed anything in
over a year, I can delete it.

The filtering and searching tools provided by modern email clients give
one a lot of capability.  It takes a bit of thought to set it up, but
makes email quite sane and manageable once set up for your needs and
desires.

Down with the bulletin boards, I can't find anything of value in those!
Nabble is almost as bad, and I don't use it unless I get a link of
interest, but even then I usually don't find anything valuable there.

73,
Don W3FPR

I'm with Don on this one. I use Mozilla Thunderbird for email, and its
filters allow just about any degree and depth of sorting that one might
like. Message boards are a chore, IMHO. The Elecraft list is an example
of a wide breadth of topics that virtually demand some sort of filtering
to allow a specific point-of-entry.

Yes. I read more than two dozen email reflectors, and Thunderbird makes
it all very easy. Every reflector has its own mailbox (that shows up as
a folder), and I occasionally add a folder for special discussions (like
FD, county expeditions, tech projects). Those special emails get
hand-sorted.

Re: Off-topic, but I need help.

I find it mind boggling that you guys like email for this and find it hard to
search a message board.  Have you ever tried a well-set up vBulletin board?
It's SOOOO much easier.  But I'm terribly outvoted here, so this is my last
email on this subject.

Re: Off-topic, but I need help.

In reply to this post by Don Wilhelm
I've suggested POPfile, which does naive bayesian filtering -- which is
almost magical.

Yes, Thunderbird can do a great job, but it won't filter off topic, and
you have to do a lot of work.

With POPfile, you classify a few messages (KX3, K3S, Antenna, Digital
Modes, whatever) and the filter "scores" the words from the messages you
classified, and uses the score to put the message where it belongs.

If it gets one wrong, you reclassify it, and the filter improves.

It does *not* rely on posters to put rational subjects, and it deals
with topic drift automatically.

POPfile works with real mail clients (with their awesome search capability).

Walter, I also like groups.io very much. I suspect that the Elecraft reflector was intended to be more of a tech support tool and not a general rag chew place. The Elecraft reflector is the only non groups.io forum that I participate in. They work well with both direct email and a searchable forum.

Re: Off-topic, but I need help.

In reply to this post by Don Wilhelm
Don,
That is exactly how I do it, and how long I take to trim...  I believe
you can automate that process using the folder properties...  I tend to
stay away from auto trimming, but I think it could be done...
Thunderbird is wonderful...  My only carp is that it won't play a sound
based on the filters...

73s and thanks,
