Serious question Bill. If you are not walking along a clear surface like a
sidewalk or in a play park, but are on the 'Trail', do you not have problems
with the counterpoise becoming tangled up in things, or do you only operate

There may be two different types out there or you may not have them in the
same intensity light. A Solar panel is a constant current generator. Its
current and open circuit voltage is dependent on the amount of light falling
on the panel. Each cell in the panel outputs about .5 volt in full

Folks,
I recently completed the KX1 and found a huge difference in the audio on 40M
(strong) versus 20M(weak). On 20M, I always need the AF gain turned up to max,
or close to it. Also, the s-meter does not function on 20M (it works on 40m). I
do not think this is an issue with the headphones

Hi
Thanks for your input and this is exactly the method I use to check my
panels. I just suggest the resistor method because some DVM's do not have
current ranges and the possibility of damage to the current ranges if the
wrong range is used. Measuring current with a DVM is always a possible
Hi, Mike.
You're right. This is normal behaviour for the KX1.
The S meter is lower on 20m because it driven by an
audio derived AGC, and audio levels are lower on 20m
due to the design of the radio.
It does work though... with a 20-40 foot wire

Hi Mike,
Reminds me of what I did last week checking my K2 mods. I was not
getting as much audio on 30 meters as I was getting on 20 M and 40 M. I
figured I messed up one of the mods. I finally realized that I wasn't
hearing many signals either, so propagation must have sucked as well.

Bill,
The allen wrench size for the FT-100 knob is metric and as I recall it is
2mm, I could be wrong (blame fuzzy memory), but it is very close to that
size - I do know 2.5 mm is too big. Ignore the US sizes when looking, none
of them will fit - I tried and had to go dig for my metric set.
