My CW is too rough for that :) I'm going to practice sending using an HD-1410. I'll then jump onto 7.117.000 and make some contacts in the novice part of the band at slow speed. I bought this unit off QRZ with the intention of using it in the field. I don't like hauling a 706MKII and the necessary batteries with me on the AT. The unit came with the Maldol AH-C7,C21, and C14. The ATU in this KX1 seemed to match well with the AH-C7. Not sure if anyone else here is using a similar setup. Everything on the unit checks out but I've not tested the power output yet. I don't have a power meter capable of testing at QRP levels. Hopefully someone in the local club has one and can check it for me. I spent many hours during the winter picking up CW. I spent too much time focusing on RX but not TX and I need to do more TX practice. I decided that buying this rig would be a catalyst. Having something like this to take out in the field is sure to motivate me :) I did not realize that this list puts the sender in the Reply-To and not the actual list. For those that did not read the thread I was using a mono plug for my J key instead of a stereo plug. A pair of clip leads showed me what I should have done. 73, ki4ymd Chris ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
