FWIW, the drift is proportional to frequency, so you should be seeing < 3 Hz on 20 meters. It’s < 2 Hz on my lab test unit on 20. Wayne N6KR http://www.elecraft.com > On Nov 24, 2017, at 4:23 PM, Edward R Cole wrote: > > I ran intensive frequency stability tests

Howard, I received the core and the replacement choke earlier today. I put the core on the 25' RG174 feedline right at the 9:1 UNUN and was able to wind 10 turns.  Then I connected a 33' counterpoise wire to the output BNC using a hose clamp.  This was just a quickie "temporary"

I ran intensive frequency stability tests on my KX3 in 2014 after getting it. Adding a VE3FMN heat sink and running the temp-compensation procedure maximum drift running JT65 on 6m showed +13-Hz drift in the first minute; no more than 10-Hz afterward. That is good enough for JT65 (but not

Hi Barry, While using the KX2 in just about any digital mode above 5 W or so, we found the PA temp will reach thermal limit fairly quickly, which is why Elecraft rates the KX2 at 5 W in digital modes, and why we came up with an improved cooling solution.  (commercial content) Many owners who
