Some thoughts inserted. Cheers, Fred KE7X
>>Now if I can just come up with some hardware to share my current antenna >>system (a couple tribanders on the same tower and monoband antennas on 40, 80 >>and 160) between the two rigs. The triplexers (for 10,15,20) on the market >>are interesting but my 500 watt station is caught in the middle. There are >>200 watt triplexers and 1.5kw triplexers with prices of a few hundred $'s a a >>few thousand $'s. I do have room for a 2nd tower, so I'll have to go through >>a cost and operational comparison of triplexers or a 2nd tower with antennas. You won't need a triplexer if you have two separate tribanders. Wouldn't a good solution be a cross-bar switch like a 6-pack or similar with decoders like a KRC2 to switch them? You would want band pass filters automatically switched too. >>I picked up a used Acom 2s1 t/r switch I may experiment with. It won't give >>me a true SO2R station but it will at least allow me to use two rigs with one >>antenna system/amp for now. I don't know much about that but when it is isolating the rig not transmitting wouldn't you lose the ability to listen on the second radio. That's a key advantage of SO2R over SO2V. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
