In the Elecraft K3 Product Review [Apr 2008, pp 41-45], PP5VX points out that discussion of date formats on p 45 is in error. Date formats are not part of the International System of Units (SI). The suggested format is similar to YYYY-MM-DD, described in standard ISO 8601 from the International Organization for Standardization. A good source of more information on the SI is physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units.

In “Getting on the Air — Selecting Your First HF Transceiver” [May 2008, pp 71-73], in Table 3, the street price of the TS-2000 should have been listed at $1595. Table 4 should have noted that the FlexRadio Flex-5000 also includes a “dual watch” type second receive channel. See the Flex-5000 Product Review in this issue for more information.

The topmost photo on the cover of the June 2008 issue was taken by Walter Schoenknecht, WS2Z, father of Dan, who’s in the photo.

In the 2007 ARRL September VHF QSO Party Results [March 2008, p. 75], K6MI was incorrectly listed as the overall winner of the Rover category. The correct overall winner in the Rover category was N6MB. The ARRL regrets this error.

The May 2008 “Hands-On Radio” column [p 74] mentions the availability of two programs, Function Generator and Audio Spectrum Analyzer. The two programs are on the Software Library for Hams CD. Although this CD was included in copies of the 2008 ARRL Handbook that were ordered before October 31, 2007, later copies do not include the CD. The Software Library CD is available from the ARRL, order no. 9825.
