RE: [Elecraft] For the hikers/backpackers ...

Just checked out this site for the backpacks. I have a call into the support guys at this company to ask how well the solar packs will work with the KX1 and the K1. This would sure get me on the air more when I do day hiking and also great for travel. There is never a convenient ac plug when I need

Your email has inspired me! I will try to get out this weekend and see if I can make any contacts. I do have an old CB antenna and will try to make it work. I use my KX1 mostly when I travel. Guess I need to change my thinking. Thanks for the push Aron NN1F Bedford, NH FP#122 -Original Message

I picked up several of the Bananna Plug/BNC adapters from Radio Shack. Also found some at a local Electronics surplus store for about half the price. Aron NN1F Bedford, NH FP#122 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Ross Sent: Monday, M

RE: [Elecraft] KXAT1 with short whip antennas?

This is a page that I think everyone who is even contemplating building one of these radios, should read first. They will have no doubt that it is a great rig to build and use. I have the K2, K1 and the KX1. I only built the KX1, but found it a wonderful experience. I take the KX1 with me whenever

Decided to try a new antenna I bought a few weeks ago while my son was taking a nap. Pulled out my DK9SQ vertical mast and attached it to the railing of my back deck. I then attached a Par Electronics 20 meter End Fed antenna and hoisted it up to 30'. My analyzer says that it is 1:1 to 1:6 on 20 me

Gotta Love the way Wayne thinks. These templets work great. I did need to enlarge them some to fit on to my KX1. For some reason the template as sent was about 90% the size that fit the rig. Now I am ready to hit the field and travel. There is even enough room to write notes on the back if you do h
