Re: [Elecraft] Funny K4 Story

[Tom Azlin W7SUA]

I put my meters between my KAT500 and the antennas as wanted to see the 
actual feedline SWR. Both my K3 and my KPA500 let me know if the KAT500 
is not able to match ( and of course the LED display on the KAT500).

has the barograph meters as well as the digital display anyway.

With internal tuners on everything I have stopped using power/SWR meters on
my rigs. If you are matching your antenna before you get to the meter the
meter just won't tell you anything useful. I suppose I could put one
between the KPA500 and the KAT500 But I don't use it often and the KPA has
the barograph meters as well as the digital display anyway.

Re: [Elecraft] XG2 Manual

If you find one and/or a schematic I need one too.  My XG2 is dead on 20 meters.

Re: [Elecraft] Trade: KX1, with extras, for W2 Wattmeter with extras

The KX1 is no longer available, a person has exactly what I was looking 
for, and we are in the process of performing the trade.

Hi,

I have an almost mint KX1, (recently back from service and checkup, with 
paperwork indicating all is well with the unit, and it meeting specs), 
which I am looking to trade for a almost mint condition W2 Wattmeter, 
with one HF 2K coupler, (DCHF-2000), and one VHF 200 W coupler, 
(DCV/U-200).


I will pay insured express postage to you, and you pay insured express 
postage to me.

Re: [Elecraft] Funny K4 Story

I have an external meter on each of my antenna feedlines so I know the

out on my (still) K3 versus the power reported on the external SWR/PWR 
meter.
