Re: [Elecraft] K2 160 module

Dan, The K2 BNC jack will have a DC path to ground whether the K160RX is installed or not. It is not "ground" for RF, but will show a low DC path to ground if you measure it with your DMM. If you disconnect lead 3 or 4 of T4, the DC short to ground will go away. 73, Don W3FPR On

Surely the binocular transformer is converting the input impedance of the filter to the optimum load line for the PA transistors. Typically that would mean such that the the voltage swing was just short of the full supply rail for the worst case complex impedance, at the worst case acceptable

Howard, Did you get your KPA1500 PF macros to work? I use these all the time, doing exactly the same thing you want. In the KPA1500 Utility, on the PF Keys tab, fill them in as: PF1:^XI00; PF2:^XI30; PF1 for K3 / K3S and PF2 for Flex. I have Serial Speed XCVR set to 38400 bps and

Radio waves are non-ionising radiation, so there is no fundamental reason why radio frequencies should trigger ionisation detectors. Also, at least in Europe, ionisation detectors are no longer the preferred type. Optical detectors are the generally preferred type, and ones which combine heat

Hi All, I have a Elecraft Directional Coupler/Panadapter TX Sensor that I never use. It came along in a package deal I had on a K3S, so it's just sitting around in the box with its E467139 cable. The last time it was used was when the original owner demoed it for me prior to my purchase, since

This seemed odd to me at first, also, but it really made sense as I was hopping all over the place during cqww this weekend, and could tell at a glance at kpa1500 remote or front panel what it was up to. Also, that I had missed training a few bins...yikes. Once you get used to it, it's the
