[PPRAANet] [Gmc] Elecraft Does it Again!!

[DESloan at aol.com]

Enjoy your hick this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing how the Flex  
6500 fares with Sherwood. They are also using direct conversion (I think I'm 
 saying that right).

I’m  not surprised.  I sure like mine J 
Did  I mention the project I completed to send and receive PSK31 & RTTY?   
The KX3, along with the K3, offers an 8 character scrolling display to 
receive  and sending via paddles.   
I  made it for the field, so it’s easier to work PSK31 & RTTY without a  
computer.  I’ll be QRP hiking with it this weekend. 
My  thingy sends via a keyboard (I use a mini) and captures the scrolling  
characters to an 80 character LCD display.  Much easier to read sentences  
instead of characters flying by.  Plus 10 stored messages, scrolling back  to 
beyond 80 characters (480), and more.   Draws less than  20ma. 
Got  some good feedback from the KX3 Yahoo group, and am working with some 
guys to  make it available to others.   
If  anyone is interested, I can send a more detailed description and some 
pics in  its prototype case.

Hi, 
 

 
Sorry to be grandstanding but just could not  resist.

The recently introduced Elecraft KX3 tops the  Sherwood chart.  Not bad for 
a 1.5 pound radio that is just  slightly larger than you open hand.  That 
includes batteries and  tuner delivering 10 watts on all modes.  (100 watt 
version coming  by years end.)  As little as 150 milliamps on receive.  For  
those technically interested it does not have an IF........just straight  
direct conversion to base-band audio.
 

Take pride in the USA. 73

Jim,  W0EM
