Wayne --- This is all new news to me about remote operation of the T1. Actually, I never thought of it. I have a T1, I have a KX3 with the built-in tuner, and I also have a KX1 and I have normally used the T1 with my KX1.
For portable ops, I have strung up make-shift 20-meter dipole antennas up in a tree but because of all kinds of factors and environment, the match is not that good usually. The idea of using a T1 at the match point and then remote controlled should make QRP ops much better with the coax feedline losses being much lower. So, is this a reasonable thing to try? Sometimes, the distance to the make-shift antenna from a picnic bench (for example) is 50 feet or so and I always use 75 foot of coax. I usually don't try ladder line for lower losses because often the feed line is running along the ground for awhile. 73, phil, K7PEH On Mar 31, 2014, at 8:01 AM, Wayne Burdick <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tord, > > This is possible, though I'm not sure it would work over this distance. > Meanwhile, the T1 manual shows a simple method for remote-controlled tuning > via a switch closure. > > 73, > Wayne > N6KR > > > On Mar 30, 2014, at 10:26 AM, Tord <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Wayne, >> >> I have a KX3 and would very much like to use my brilliant T1 tuner at the >> feedpoint of the antenna, typically 30-50 feet away from the KX3. >> The T1 has a remote control jack that enables remote tuning and auto band >> switching if used together with a FT-817.
