[Elecraft] CORRECTION Re: SB-221 for K3 need some help.

[Don Rasmussen]

Thanks Bill, 

I don't *think* I received any special treatment from
the factory, I just sent and email to the guy that
created the transceiver. Amazing. I got a response in
less than an hour, a quote from an actual user of my
configuration. To those reading this, Elecraft will
spoil you for life, never think about buying anything
other - hi. 

Yes, I turned off QSK and have a decent long delay in
semi-break in. I had a QSO with NH6SV tonight and he
reports a clean signal st 599. 

I thought I had Tom cornered on no reason to install
that soft key but I like his answer. In addition, I
had the amp apart several times today and it provided
me with a renewed respect for that little innocent
looking line. ;-) Beforte that comment he made, I
would not have bothered shutting off both units before
connecting / disconnecting. Until or unless I install
soft key, will maintain that procedure.

Oops, correction. Looks like the K3 will handle the
SB-220's T-R relay coil voltage after all. Sorry about
that, my bad. You still need to worry about the
closure timing, though. I have my K3 set to the max
(20 ms) and there doesn't SEEM to be a probelm -- but
I've never actually measured how longs it takes the
original Heath frame relay to close. You really should
do that.
