Great idea Vic ! Over here a 'well behaved' pile up is history, and HOPEFULS and JAMMERS are the norm. Still think that a properly designed panadapter is the best tool - but am I a dinosaur? 73, Geoff GM4ESD - Original Message - From: Vic Rosenthal [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tsachy L [EMAIL

I just built s/n 4426 and it had the Motorola blue colored MPS5179 which caused my freq counter not to work. Gary at Elecraft quickly identified my problem when I told him I couldn't get a reading out of TP1 with the internal freq counter. I was promptly sent replacements and all was FB. I was

[Elecraft] N4PY Software for Dual K2s - How?

2004-10-20 Thread Brian Wruble
Hi Guys: I am just finishing up my 2nd K2, and I am intrigued by the idea of using dual K2s in split operations. I was wondering if others have tried this, and how one might manage to use the same antenna for transmit and receive while not feeding high RF from the transmit K2 into the receive

John, I click and hold on the REV button which will give you VFO B and allow you to tune to where you want. Releasing REV will put you back to split mode. This is a little faster and sometimes can make the difference. I use this on my Pegasus (I'm still building my K2) and assume It will work
