UK Elecraft net report for Sunday 21st September

[Dave, G4AON]

Several stations were not available this week, the very pleasant weather
this weekend being more of an attraction than being indoors! Also some
were getting ready for travel to Jura for the  MS0SCG week of operating.

Quite an interesting discussion took place over the use of SDR receivers
in various configurations used with a K3, both via the IF output of the
K3 and parallel connections. Mike (G0MJW) has an SDR-IQ, myself and
Andrew (M0GJH) have Perseus receivers.

Other "almost Elecraft" topics included power measurement and especially
the LP-100 power meters that several of us use.

Stations this week were:

M0GJH, Andrew
G0MJW, Mike
G8EGG, Dave
G4ARI, Tim
G3YHM, Rod
G4NWJ, Jim

Thanks for the report from France by F5VJC (Deni).

73 until next week!
Dave, G4AON

That sounds interesting - care to elaborate.

Hi Trevor, you should join us!

We discussed the merit (or otherwise) of opting to buy the LP-100
assembled and calibrated as opposed assembling and home calibrating one.
I opted for getting one assembled and calibrated and one of the other
net stations built his and calibrated it. We also mentioned the
variability of the K3's ALC power level control and the optimistic
calibration of the Acom linear amplifiers... Mine displays some 10 - 20%
higher readings for output power than I measure either with the LP-100
or another meter I have.

That was about the bottom line.
