I guess we can add Dog-Proof! to the T1 spec sheet?

John,

The relays and inductors would have to be increased substantially in
size. That's why a KAT100 is a lot bigger than a T1 ;)

I'm mostly a CW guy myself, and can understand why someone might not
want the mic jack. But this is only the second request for a mic-jack

Thanks for comprehensive review of our T1 ATU
(http://www.dit-dididit-dit.com/t1_atu.htm). I'm glad it worked well
for you in field tests. We may make a few assembly and owner's manual
tweaks based on your feedback. (We could have used you as a field
tester :)

Hi all,
I'm hoping to put up a compact, lightweight rotatable dipole or
2-element yagi for 20-10 meters. This may not be a very efficient
antenna, at least on the lower bands, but I have limited space
available. The antenna may be home-brew and will weigh just a couple of
pounds.
I'd like
Hi Lynn,
Glad you like the KX1.
A bit of opposite-sideband leak-through is typical for a 3-crystal I.F.
filter. But I think you'll find that this rarely gets in the way of
operating. When necessary you can increase the amount of
opposite-sideband rejection by using a narrower setting of the
Assembled T1's are built in California, not far from Elecraft World
Headquarters near Santa Cruz. The trick is to make a lot of them at
once ;)
