Re: Plasma TV and other OT junque

I have been mistaken (again)! I was under the impression this was basically
an Elecraft technical, or at least semi-technical reflector?
Last week I was in France and when I returned, I had over 860 emails. Of
those 860 emails, 580 were on this reflector! Of those 580 emails, exactly
27 had something to do with technical information about Elecraft products!
As a relatively new K3/P3 owner I seriously question this reflectors ability
to provide Elecraft technical assistance when so much totally OT topics are
discussed ad-infinitum. I respectfully urge each of you to think about what
you are doing - please!

Hi Tommy.

I understand your concern.  You might consider monitoring the reflector in
your browser rather than via email.  Doing so has saved me from email
issues.  It may not serve everyone's purpose, but it can be useful for some.

Here's a link you can try.

The same thing would happen if you went to Spain or Starkville, MS.

I've got the K3 and have some QRM from a plasma. The NB doesn't seem to
respond well although it sounds very similar to your typical AC power line
noise.

I wonder if Elecraft might have a plasma nearby and could run some test on
the K3 NB possibly making some custom changes?

I had a scare last weekend when my SDR-IQ showed a huge level of
noise on the 500-KHz experimental band.  The level was over 1000uV
and drove the SDR into clipping with potential damage to the front
end.  This got me investigating with the K3 showing S9+60 full-tilt
noise on 500-KHz.  I checked how wide the noise was and observed it
from 300-KHz up above 14-MHz.  Strongest on MW freq. and 160m, S9+40
on 80m, tapering to S9 on 20m.  Fortunately, it disappeared and has
not returned.  Maybe their favorite football team lost and the shut
off the TV?  Hopefully, they threw a beer bottle threw the
screen.  Of course it may not have been a plasma TV but a neighbor
doing some welding at 10pm?

I have buried utilities in the subdivision with electric poles about
1/4-mile away E or W and none for a mile N or S.  Previous noise
floor was S5 on 500-KHz with the K3, S3 on 80m and S2 on 20m.  The
SDR-IQ shows -115 to -108 dBm for the 500-KHz noise floor.

Along this line of discussion, I wonder if those who have the KRX3
could use it as a noise cancelling receiver (similar to the
anc-4)?  If the aux receiver output in diversity mode could be
reverse phased to cancel noise using a "noise sniffer" antenna. I
realise that would eliminate use of the aux Rx for other uses but in
the face of extreme noise interference would that matter?

Tom,

I share you're frustration, but have found a solution.

I use an email program called Agent that allows me to set "Kill" filters on the
subjects and other parts of emails.  When I find that a thread doesn't interest
me, I will set a "kill" filter for it that expires in 30 days.  Problem
solved...

It keeps me from being a grumpy old man ;o)

The best way to avoid email overload is to stop email delivery and go to the web and view all the posts in NABBLE. You can pick and choose what you want to read.

[N5GE]

Seems to me I could do that by browsing the list of new emails in my email app
and delete the ones I don't want to read.  Am I missing something here?

I don't mind the number of emails, but do not like having to browse for the ones
I'm not interested in.  The filters perform that task for me, so I never see
them.
