Hi y'all! I have noted that most of the posts in the elecraft reflector are about the K3. I hope this isn't out of line.
I bought a K1 awhile back because it was billed as a great first-time builder's kit. As one of those first-time builders, I suppose I'd agree, but I've run into a few rather basic questions and I'm undoubtedly driving Gary up the wall with them. I'm a rank beginner on all things electronic I'm afraid. He's set me the task of building an RF probe (which I'm getting to) and told me to get a signal generator as well. I need to do the signal tracing the manual suggests (Appendix E, p5) and wanted to build the signal generator shown in schematic on that page. I have the KFL1-4 board with 17, 20, 30 and 40 meters and am only hearing signals on the 40 meter band. I thought I'd build the signal generator with a switch to change between crystals. I'm looking for some advice: I have one power supply (a Samlex SEC-1235M) and I guess I'll need another power source for the signal generator. As I looked at the Samlex site (http://www.universal-radio.com/CATALOG/hamps.html), I saw both linear and switching power supplies. Does it matter which kind I get? Any other suggestions for inexpensive options? I suppose I'll stop with one question for now. Thanks hams!
