Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Issue

No - it does not spontaneously go into transmit more. The problem is that on the non-Elecraft radio, placing the KPA into transmit mode (with a button push on the KPA) drops the non-Elecraft radio’s receive signal tremendously. See Jack’s explanation in an earlier post on what the K3 is doing

[Elecraft] OT FS: Elecraft T1 Tuner - Assembled

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Loss in window line [OPINION] [LONG]

Al, I don’t disagree with you at all, but I do want to make a comment. After having used coax, “open wire” line, and window line in several locations I think I can add to the discussion. Many folks have antenna tuners that “remember” the L/C combination for “segments” of each band they

Time to clean house of items that are rarely used. I’m selling my KPA500 (serial # 3645) and KAT500 (serial #2726). Both were built by me a few years ago and work perfectly. I started out using them with a K3, then a K4D, and most recently a Kenwood TS-890. Both the tuner and the amp work

Still cleaning out stuff from the shack that has had little use and needs to go. I have two Balun Designs Unun units for sale. First is their model 9135sw, which is a 5kW 9:1 (450 to 50 ohms) unit. It has side posts and a bottom SO-239 coax connector. It has been used for perhaps 10 minutes.

Very true, but worth asking. That is exactly how I managed to get my K4D #636 last month. The one I had on order was scheduled for a Nov-Dec delivery and one came up for sale here on the reflector. It took me about 2 microseconds to reply and claim it. Glad I did - it is a pleasure to use. And

I can certainly relate to the parallels. I’ve been US stamp collected (and now online dealer) since age eight. My collection now is at the point where adding just about any stamp to a blank spot could run close to what it would take to buy a used car. Thus, the poor collection is opened only
