[Elecraft] Low Power on 20m and 30m

I have a problem that another couple of posters seem to have too, however I am not sure what the solution is or if there is anything else that I should check. I have completed K2/100 #4891 and my power output on 20m and 30m is lower than expected : 80 watts on 30m and 55 watts on 20m. Power

Tim, Check out the one that Marshall Emms sells at Morse Technologies www.mtechnologies.com for use with the OHR series of QRP rigs. He has done a lot of looking and checking to find the one best power supply for QRP rigs. I have had one for about a year and a half and it has been quiet,

Hi John, I recently had a very similar problem. In my case, all bands were putting out over 100 W except I could only get 90 W on 30m into a dummy load. I counted recounted ( recounted!) the turns of the corresponding toroids and double checked that I hadn't mixed up capacitors in the those

[Elecraft] K1 filter board question

I bought both a 4-band and 2-band filter board for my K1. I built the 4-band board for 40, 30, 20, and 15 meters. I have parts to make the 2-band board either 80/17 or 80/15. I've also considered the 160/80 option. That's not what's bothering me. Here's the question: What's really going to be

I assume that you are looking for an AC power supply. Morse Express sells a very compact and quiet supply that would be perfect for this application : http://www.morsex.com/cup/index.htm I don't have one of these personally, but I have bought a lot of stuff from Marshall and he is a great guy

I was about to add a sequencer to the K2/XV-144 for use with JT-65 when I realized that while it was not a problem for computer control or PTT, that fully interchangeable operations between SSB, CW, and Computer control could be a bit of a hassle to implement cleanly. Since I want to be able to

[Elecraft] Bad LSB audio

Hi all, Not being a particularly active ham on SSB, I have toyed with it a bit on K2 4490 but bought the MD-2 mic and figured I would 'tune' the BFO to give me decent audio. I got a couple of 'horrible audio' reports which also drove the decision. I tested the BFO setting using an Orion fed into

RE: [Elecraft] Bad LSB audio

Neal, It may be that your LSB BFO is not currently set anywhere close to the correct setting, and your efforts are being confounded by that situation. I recommend that you first re-do the LSB BFO setting in receive using Spectrogram and a noise generator. If your OP1 filter width is the older

Actually, I had a question that is in a similar vein. I bought a buddipole, and plan on taking my K2/100 camping. I began to research batteries, such as gell cell and glass matt batteries, and solar charging. My guess is that I might operate about 4 to 5 hours per day, running up to the full
