1  eHam Forums / QRP / RE: Do you own a Solar Panel for QRP or Prepping? on: December 26, 2012, 08:34:42 AM
Try this link for Power Film.   I bought one that was made in the  USA .
I called them and found out that some of the  panels are assembled in China
some in USA.  You might check what they are currently doing.
My panel was not listed anymore and worked exceptionally well. I got rated power out of it.

2  eHam Forums / QRP / RE: Is the KX3 all it's cracked up to be or fake? on: November 12, 2012, 08:28:40 PM
I own both the 817nd and the kx3.
I do not care for the 817 because it is hard  to turn on and hard to see the display.
The ergonomics are difficult for me on the  817.
The kx3 is in a different ball game.   The ergonomics are fantastic and the radio is a modern
radio with major capabilities.  I plan to try SOTA  and what I may   do is put the  PSK exchanges in memories.  Push m1 for CQing  m2 for information.
I could then send   other stuff using the key  and finish a qso in PSK using the hand key.
No keyboard would be necessary.   You could also do the same thing  using RTTY.
Another thing I have noticed is that the KX3 has terrific audio.   The audio even on a noisy band is easy to take.  I have seen that the KX3 is even hooked up to an Ipad for a panadapter.   The kx3 utility may be use through a computer for  sending an receiving  cw psk and rtty using  a usb port on the computer..   The software need to be written for the kx3 to take advantage of it's  usb capabilities.
If you like fiddling with equalizers and menus that reconfigure your radio to behave differently then the kx3 is cool.
I guess you can tell that I like the radio.   Bother way the sensitvity is .09 with the preamp

I own the Powerfilm  30 watt panel and another brand that promises 26 watts.
The Powerfilm 30 watt panel was U.S.A. made .   I measured in the summer 29 watts coming out of the Powerfilm panel.
The other brand panel that claimed 26 watts actually delivered about 15 watts.
That was my experience.   Rich
