Joe, Re my unit (#77): 1) Don't notice SWR, seems quite low. 2) No, I've used it with a 756 Pro2, and it switches bands on the first dit. Very impressive. 3) It stays quite low; I don't even notice it in normal operation. It's a very impressive work of engineering! 73, andy ae6y

What Input SWR are you seeing? Does it vary by band? 2. Is there a lag in band switching when not using a K3 (Used with non-Elecraft radio). 3. In normal SSB operation, how loud is the fan? I know this varies per person, some don't hear fan noise and others do. What would you compare it to? As an example, the Yaesu MARK-V Field is OK, but the MARK-V 200 watt model is too loud for me. Thanks and 73, Joe N9VX ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
