You know, I still don't get it. I haven't been able to comprehend what really goes on inside even a simple pixie curcuit. And the math eludes me keeping me from getting my extra class. I've missed a lot of rare DX because I am not allowed down in that portion of the band. I know good and

Congrats! Now I want one too. Acxtually I've been wondering which to get, the k-1 or the kx1. Also kind of waiting for a kit that does 6/10/12/15/17 meter kit. I might be waiting a long time! I do like the kx1 and barrowed one for a weekend...fun. I would have liked to have 5 watts

Re: [Elecraft] WTB Norcal BLT Tuner or Similar

The BLT is a fine tuner. I've got one too. It's limited and doesn't have the range of elecrafts auto tuners but then until the cash flow allows it. The blt is good enough. I think you'lle be happy with it. 73's de n5vwn Roland On Apr 3, 2006, at 7:28 PM, Richard Powers wrote: I am

[Elecraft] KPA100 hi-current problem after build

Just finishing up a KPA 100 kit for my k2 and am running into a problem I'm up to the SWR Bridge Null Adjustment on page 44. I set up the power to 5 watts (connected to a dummy load), and I get a Hi Current message followed by a reduced output reading. I checked the dummy load on an antenna

I couldn't even work one that was 60+db over 9 with my K2 at 15 watts. I ran the whole contest with a 9 year old Alinco dx70. My antenna is a comprimise for 160. A 80/40/30 dipole from an SK W9INN. It's swr on 160 without a tuner is only 3 to 1 and it is only 15 feet above ground so I was

All the indicators say the noise blanker is functioning, I mean it says it's on, but I really don't hear any difference at all. Can't tell a thing. It certainly isn't as good as the ft920. So I'm wondering if maybe I wound the toroids to tight. The first time I wound them the wrong

[Elecraft] Any hand held mic recomendations?

Probably re-hashing an old subject here. I need a hand held microphone for the K2 and Elecraft dosn't have them anymore. What's everybody else doing? I can't picture myself with a desk mic in the tent. And for sideband don't really want the headphones on all the time. Thanks! Roland N5VWN K2

I've also had my buddie pole for over 2 years. My 1st 10 out of 11 contacts with it were DX on ten meters. All on 5 watts. It's a really great, albeit expensive, antenna. The little clips are worn out but they sell replacements for any worn part. I also use just one of the elements like a

Re: [Elecraft] No BFO

OK, I just crossed that bridge a few days ago. I didn't think I had a BFO. Look for an envelope marked E850099 and/or 41UH INDUCTOR, 5%. Or it may say L33 on it. Is that what you mean? It should be very fine wire wrapped many times around a toroid. Hope it helps. Roland in Stockton K2 #3090
