I have one that I bought fully built and it's an excellent tuner. I only stopped using it because I have all built-in tuners now and wanted to reduce the extra cabling. You'll really like it, works great. I'm not sure I'd want to actually build one tho. My K2's already have enough super tiny

I bought mine assembled. It didn't look like $20 worth of fun to build. But, like everything I've bought from Elecraft, it is really unique, exceptional quality, and works very well. I was building a lot of off-brand (i.e. non-Elecraft) QRP rigs at the time. It was the perfect companion for

It's solid as a rock and quite easy to build. Before I got internal tuner in my K3, I was using it for the WARC bands. Occasionally I would hit it with 100 watts RTTY and it survived. 73 Bill AE6JV On 4/4/16 at 10:16 AM, t...@sy-edm.com (a45wg) wrote: I am considering adding a T1 ATU to my

The kit is quite easy to build and the finished product tunes fast and quietly. I've had mine since they were first offered (10+ years or so), and have backpacked with it numerous times and subjected it to many miles of motorcycle-induced vibration (and will again soon!) ...still works like

Tim, If you can build in tight quarters with 1/8 watt resistors, you should have no problem. Just beware of solder bridges. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/4/2016 1:16 PM, a45wg wrote: Fellow Hams, I am considering adding a T1 ATU to my portable setup - any comments/suggestions ? Is

I picked one up used, so I can't speak to construction, beyond the normal good Elecraft build...  However, it does seem to match just about anything, and it is cute! -- 73's, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) For software/hardware reviews see: http://www.nk7z.net For MixW support see:

[Elecraft] Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU / BL2

I'm assuming when using the Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU with a wire antenna, dipole or long wire, the BL2, 1:1 4:1 (switched) Balun, is required. Is this correct ? thanks __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman

on the lowest band in use. If you want to run a balanced feedline to the antenna, then a BL1 or BL2 would be required. The counterpoise or ground wire may then be optional, but is still recommended. 73, Wayne N6KR On Nov 6, 2011, at 5:59 PM, Randall wrote: I'm assuming when using the Elecraft T1
