[Elecraft] Proposed: more 6 meter CW beacons

[QRP Labs]

Frank, Dave, all

Jim AB3CV referred somewhat cryptically to my website
http://www.hanssummers.com yesterday in this thread. What he I think
*meant* to refer to was QRP Labs Ultimate3S "U3S" transmitter kit page
http://qrp-labs.com/ultimate3/u3s .

WSPR Lite does only WSPR and does not include a LPF. The U3S covers any
band from 2200m to 2m, with more power output and includes one LPF... or an
optional relay board can cover 6 bands and sequence through them. At $33 it
is also very much cheaper. The "U3S" also has a lot of other features, and
can send many other modes too, including CW, QRSS, JT4, JT9, JT76, Opera,
Pi4, Hellschreiber, ISCAT. So it is possible to do what Dave NK7Z
originally mentioned: a 6m beacon sending both CW and WSPR. The GPS
interface on the "U3S" means you can let it run autonomously indefinitely,
the GPS disciplines both the time and frequency.

I know this is not an advertising forum but several options have been
mentioned, including my personal website, and the U3S is a direct solution
to the 6m beacon that Wayne was proposing, and is already in use as such by
many people worldwide. So I hope it is Ok to mention it here.
