Many thanks to you, Wayne, and all who responded! Although I installed a "two white LED" light mod myself, the backlight is infinitely better! K1 a great little rig. Eventually, I will order the T1 to go with my "HF Packer" amplifier on CW. Think it will do OK with 25-30 watts on CW and replace an MFJ coupler I'm using now that is as big or bigger than the K1! 73, Sandy W5TVW ----- Original Message ----- From: "wayne burdick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sandy, W5TVW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "QRP-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 6:27 PM Subject: Re: K1 backlight on/off using AGC menu entry

However, since most K1 owners never turn off AGC, it may be | preferable to use the AGC menu entry to control the backlight. To do | this: (1) cut the RF board trace running from pin 8 of J6 to C31; (2) | add a jumper on the bottom of the RF board from J6 pin 8 to P1 pin 18; | (3) use another jumper to connect the cathode (K) lead of the backlight | LED to pin 18 of J1 on the front panel board. | | The AGC menu entry can be assigned to PFn if you don't use this switch | for XIT or some other function. | | 73, | Wayne | N6KR | | ---- | | http://www.elecraft.com | | | | -- | No virus found in this incoming message. | Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. | Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.22/98 - Release Date: 9/12/2005 | | _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
