At present, I am using the K2/100 to feed a KAT100 antenna tuner. A 160m-10m dipole is connected to the KAT100 as ANT 1 through a low-pass filter and a dummy load is connected as ANT 2, controlled from the K2.
I am in the process of installing another antenna (40m-10m vertical) as my prime antenna and the dipole will be my secondary antenna. For ease of operation I would install one as ANT 1 and the other as ANT 2. To take advantage of the low-pass filter for both antennas I am considering installing it between the K2/100 and the KAT2. My concern is with non-linear components in the KAT100 RF path that would generate harmonics and negate the advantage of the filter. Sampling diodes, as in a SWR bridge, are always suspect. If this is to be a problem, I would have to get a second filter, one for each antenna, which is something that I really don't want to do unless I have to. Anyone have words of wisdom based on practical experience? -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
