Happened to notice that the latest #elecraft #kh1 firmware includes FT8 support for SOTAmat https://sotamat.com - which now supports the KH1.

This is great timing as I’ve spent some time this evening finally designing the case for my SOTAcat PCB. I have made sure it will fit on the #kh1 as well. It’s a much tighter fit than the #kx2 or #kx3.

Quick render below of the top of the case. Need to figure out the bottom part, particularly connections. May need a tweak or two to the PCB…

At workbench with #Elecraft #KX3, did a careful teardown and resolder of power socket. A repair I've done before.

Eventually, PowerPole connectors for power?

I drove out to a bayside park, set up at a picnic table, tossed a wire into a tree, and had a quick listen.

Works.

20m through 10m had stations. Nobody heard me answering calls, but, hey, 10w and bad antenna.

Curious turkeys watched me and chortled at me. Numerous ground squirrels zigzagged about the dusty lawn.

A 10 yr old KX3 has come up in used market in VU land for 1k USD. Tempted but going to pass as I have my eyes on a KH-1 in near future.
Still, I think its priced higher given its age. What do you all think. #elekraft #kx3

Based on the hard work of Adam, K6ARK I designed a PCB which does all the work of the connections and designed a case for it.

I think it looks like a Turret from the game Portal, hence its name.

The rubber grommets are for my #Elecraft #KX3 radio. The radio is externally powered by a barrel jack. The jack has come loose from the circuit board again, from twisting and tugging coming from the power cable.

I would like to install a cable with strain-relief, running through a rubber grommet in the KX3's side panel, coming out to a set of Anderson Powerpole connectors.

Most of my other stuff has those connectors on them already. Solar panel, SLA battery, charge controller.

@qrper I think we wrote about an 18650 solution for the #KX3 a while back. Well, I just found one!

This is my newest toy in my shack: An awesome KX3. I couldn’t resist buying it from a fellow ham. Well it’s very expensive but especially its receiver is hot!
