Allan, I am in the process of building the 222 version. Just a word of warning that I received in an email from Elecraft. Now, the caution about disconnecting the antenna when transmitting close to the 222 antenna is going to be a real PITA when working the contests! Removing during lightning storms is a no brainer!
73, Lloyd K8DIO *One tip:The RF module usually has a depression in the middle, so if you trim the thermal pad with scissors so it just fits within that depression, it makes for a better clamping and improved heat transfer. Do not exceed 20w of RF output, and disconnect the antenna when lighting storms approach or if you will be transmitting close to the XV222 antenna with another rig.* On Fri, Dec 27, 2013 at 11:11 AM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > Follow the instructions in the manual and you will be successful.
