[Elecraft] Kx-1 ---help
I'm moving through the bands just fine until it is supposed to nove to 14 mhz. Instead it shows as 13? This must be something simple. Did not have this problem last night.

Hi Russ, What you see when changing bands is the MHz value that you're tuned to on each band. You must have the VFO tuned below 14 MHz on 20 m. 73, Wayne N6KR On Feb 21, 2009, at 1:08 PM, Garrett, Russ wrote: I'm moving through the bands just fine until it is supposed to nove to 14 mhz.

Thanks. I rotated the vfo first thinking that was it. Didn't rotate it far enough. Now I'm back.

[Elecraft] KX-1: Help working stations like VP6DX
Been away from ham radio for 40 or so years, so technique is a black hole. I could us some basic advice. I'd hoped to work VP6DX but couldn't quite pull it off. What would be you're advice next time such an opportunity rolls around? Givens: KX-1 + ~70' long wire, 45 ft. up. External homebrew tuner. Also available, a good general coverage rcvr. Scenario: Heard VP6DX calling/responding many times, CW, on 40M @ 7002.5. Their site lists their listening freq. as + 25. (At least that's what I think the table here means: http://ducie2008.dl1mgb.com/operating/frequencies/index.php) Also think I heard hams calling VP6DX on other freqs. including on their xmit freq. I'm a general class, so couldn't operate down there. So... 1. If I want to call 25kHz up, and the KX-1 RIT range is ~+/- 6kHz, what's be best way to jump back and forth given that constraint? Should I be using the priority freq. memory function, and try to switch back and forth fast enough to establish a contact? At the rate the QSOs were taking place, switching that way seems cumbersome. 2. Would I be better using the second rcvr to listen, and the KX-1 only to transmit? But then I need to build a TR switch, and I'm not sure how to best get a transmit control signal from the KX-1. Also how would I operate portably without the extra recvr... my main interest? Rather than go on suggesting other options, I think you get the gist--I need some best practices advice. WWW links to references most welcome. I also realized, too late, that I'll need to use the memory keyer function if I'm going to jump into the kind of soup I heard VP6DX stir up.

Hi Neil: So... 1. If I want to call 25kHz up, and the KX1 RIT range is ~+/- 6kHz, what's be best way to jump back and forth given that constraint? Should I be using the priority freq. memory function, and try to switch back and forth fast enough to establish a contact? At the rate the QSOs were taking place, switching that way seems cumbersome. UNfortunately, there's NO WAY to use the KX1 (alone) to work DX that's operating with THAT WIDE A SPLIT...! Period. You need to have virtually INSTANTANEOUSLY SWITCHABILITY between receiving the DX's signal and those of the other stations calling him. With a split wider than the KX1 can handle, there's just no way to make that leap. 2. Would I be better using the second rcvr to listen, and the KX1 only to transmit? But then I need to build a TR switch, and I'm not sure how to best get a transmit control signal from the KX-1. Also how would I operate portably without the extra recvr... my main interest? Some sort of decent receiver which you could put on the DX's transmit frequency, thus allowing you to move the KX1 (RX AND TX) up to the area where the 'pileup' is calling and working him. That way, you can use the KX1 to search for the guy the DX is working, and have the KX1 TX follow.
