Re: Elecraft Digest, Vol 197, Issue 8

[Tom & Barb Valosin]

This is Tom, WB2KLD. I have a PR6 preamp for sale. It was with my K3
when I bought the rig but I have never used it. It was with the rig when
the previous owner paid for a factory refurb prior to delivery to me so
I believe it is fully operative. Asking for $60.00 + $10.00 USA
shipping. Contact me direct please at [hidden email]

> I just ordered the nifty little W1 Wattmeter. I see that it can supply serial data to an external program, and that there is a free download of a Visual Basic program on the Elecraft web site. I use a Mac and a Raspberry Pi and do not have VB on either, nor do I want to. I?m fairly proficient in several other programming languages and am thinking that I might ?roll my own?, starting on the Mac.
