Hi Andrew, We optimized the K1 for low receive-mode current drain (about 50 mA), consistent with a battery-powered radio. A low-noise/low-injection active mixer such as the SA612/NE602/etc. is a good choice in this case; it's the same mixer I used in the NorCal 40A, SST, and Sierra transceivers. MDS (minimum discernable signal) is very good, but there's also a switchable attenuator that can be kicked in if signal levels are very high. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
