Hey, what's wrong with *that*?!

Tell AL7FS to get a QRP rig... like the KX1 :) I too notice the detection on the other side of zero beat, as you mention. I suspect it's normal. I just treat it as a curiosity and tune to the other side. I love this rig. --Anbdrew ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] KX1 shakedown
Shook down my new KX1 in the QRP ARCI Spring QSO party - 15 qso's and 11 SPC - most on 20 meters and off the end of my dipole. During the lulls, I also worked HA, OM and a few JA's. This is a nice rig, and very much up to my expectation, although the temptation to lie on the couch with a wire hung over the curtain rod and tune around is great! I am looking forward to taking it on the road this summer. Only question is the single signal characteristic. Stronger signals can be detected on the "wrong" side of zero beat, although this is barely noticable except in the case of very strong (like AL7FS just down the streeet) signals. All crystals are appropriately grounded. Is this normal for this little rig? 73 Lynn KL7IKV ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
