I have a 50 inch display monitor, mounted on the wall. And I have a
keyboard and mouse connected to my K4D. I use that to navigate thru the
menus and settings. All of that can certainly be done on the radio itself,
but the keyboard and mouse make it so much easier.

Many years ago I contracted with Motorola for a large repeater
communications system/building to be located at an existing tower facility
that was already called home to dozens of other radio systems. The
Motorola R-56 standard was the 'bible' they quoted from and used. I have

Anybody know, or have experience using an Elecraft PA (a 500 watt in my
case) with a generator supplying AC power (a Honda 2 KW in my case)? I’ve
not done it yet. Wanted to check to see if anyone else has prior experience
before I end up blowing the final, or some such. The Honda flavor I have

It isn't just IC's. I placed a $250-ish order from Mouser two days ago.
Most of the items are common components, with a BO lead-time into
September. We live in a different world, at least temporarily if not for a
long haul?

Looks like a good idea, but I'm guessing the radio will no longer fit in
its case. I ordered a set of heat sinks to try 'em out.
My process to deal with the heat is perty much what Brian said.
Thanks for the thread! I learn,
ifically for the
KX2. And they look very nice as well! But again, I've never thought to
look until I saw this thread.
My sincere apologies.

I use extension cord winders (orange in color, from Home Depot, rectangle

Interesting thread. I have a K4D on order. But have been using a Heil
Pro7 (dynamic and electret elements) with existing rigs. I’m hopeful what
I have will work. When not using the headset, I simply use the standard
hand mic for any specific radio in use at the moment.

Obviously time to deliver is getting shorter as time progresses. I waited
a good year-plus. Others have waited much more.
My wife (also a Ham) decided a K4, plus a few bits and bob accessories, was
to be my retirement gift.
When my K4 did finally arrive, all I could do was giggle at stellar

Last I heard from the source about a month or two ago was that prototypes
had been built and testing was underway. Or something to that end.

I used The Wireman 26 AWG and it is as they advertise, quite “invisible”.
When operating at or above an average power of 25 - 35 watts on 40 mtrs, it
gets warm after awhile. I finally elected to go with a similar 18 AWG wire
and now I can work modes like PACTOR all day long without too much heat

Sorry, but it is not that simple to know exact status of every product
these days. I'm not sticking up for Elecraft, either. I just retired from
the military tactical commo world and since late 2019 info from component
suppliers began to be, and still is now, nothing less than meaningless
drivel.
I really need to mow our lawn. It is high enough to feed cows. But…….my
long awaited KXPA100 finally arrived!! The lawn can wait! My XYL’s eyes
are still rolling! But she brought me a sandwich for lunch, knowing that
