Re: [Elecraft] K1 build question: T1, turn count method.

John Fair question as to why not. I guess it boils down to tolerance in the design. As T1 and T2 are impedance matches maybe my error isn’t going to push things out of tolerance. That written, the consensus feed back is I have counted the turns wrong on T1 and it’s easy enough to reduce a

[Elecraft] K1 build question: T1, turn count method.

I have completed the RF board RX build portion and about to test it with the filter board and front panel. I realize I may have a discrepancy on turns for T1. I count a turn by tracing the wire around the toroid and get 4 turns of green but the manual page 14 states I should count a turn each

I’ve used my KX2 so many times from far away places and its always come through. Here is a post with a bunch of snaps that might brighten your Great Lockdown day. https://nomadic.blog/2020/05/29/cowtrack-mountain-near-mono-lake-ca/

Re: [Elecraft] KAT100 discontinued, will the K2 kit last much longer?

So much can happen in 3 years especially when talking about retirement ages and I’d be inclined to buy the K2 now and build it now if that is a viable option and it really is high on the bucket list. Paul W6PNG/M0SNA www.nomadic.blog > On May 28, 2020, at 3:23 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > >

Re: [Elecraft] KX-3 transverters

Dan I’m just in the process of tidying up my 1.2Ghz SG lab transverter connection to the KX3 and weaving in their 25w amp for SOTA work here in SoCal. It leveraged the 2m and the 3w out is fine with the SG labs transverters. For what it’s worth W6PQL has some great amp etc for VHF and up.

Re: [Elecraft] Alternative AMP to KX3 since Elecraft has temporarily stopped making AMPS

I realize you are looking for a 100w amp but if you like building kits, the 50w Hardrock is a very fun project and works well. https://www.hobbypcb.com/index.php/products/hf-radio/hardrock-50-hf-power-amp I built one and have used it on SOTA activations when I want something more that 10-15w.
