Re: [Elecraft] K2/100 RFI problem using Astron 20A
Off center feeding of a dipole antenna greatly enhances feed line radiation which most often causes a new set of problems. This is why you usually see the Windom style type antennas having to use some form of a line isolator in the feed line. It's much simpler to stay with center feeding to avoid all these issues...

Re: [Elecraft] T1 tuner issue
Kurt: Feed the same antenna with either 300 twin lead or 450 Ohm ladder line. Connect a 4 to 1 balun at the shack end of the feed line, then connect the other end of the balun to the output terminal of the tuner. It will then tune and radiate RF quite well! 73, Don WA9TGT / Donnie Garrett / Muncie, IN ARCI #6447, ARS #1717, AmQRP, ECI-QRP #001 (Indiana) Drake 2B, R4A, R4B, K2 #3186, K1 #1806 LDG Z-11 Auto Tuner, 102' CF Zepp using glass doobies! www.wa9tgt.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Let me build your K2
Hey Alan: Just ignore the negative comments on the reflector. If you enjoy building the Elecraft gear then good for you. It gives you something to do plus provides you will a few extra bucks. Besides your providing a valuable service for some of the hams. Not everyone has time to build the kits. 73, Don WA9TGT / Donnie Garrett / Muncie, IN ARCI #6447, ARS #1717, AmQRP, ECI-QRP #001 (Indiana) Drake 2B, R4A, R4B, K2 #3186, K1 #1806 LDG Z-11 Auto Tuner, 102' CF Zepp with glass doobies! www.wa9tgt.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] KAT1 Alignment (R2 Adjust)
I have just completed the assembly of a KAT1 internal auto tuner for my K1. Everything seems fine so far but I must say I am somewhat unclear how to properly adjust R2. The manual gives no instructions on the proper setting of R2 other than on page 10 , about 2/3's way down on the page it says Adjust R2's rotation to match that of R1 (visually) Am I missing something here? Or do I simply turn the R2 pot to visually appear to be set at the same degrees of rotation as R1 after I have completed the Power Calibration procedure at 5 watts by adjusting R1 There is surely more to adjusting R2 than visually setting it to match R1 (with no power applied)?
