Tom, KG3D,
I have a Hustler 6BTV antenna, and it does not use
the 6 Spoke Spider for 40M, like the 4BTV does.
Mine is ground mounted and works great, even with
no radials. I use an LDG AT11-MP automatic antenna
tuner with it on all bands, 10M - 80M.

I am having a problem with 5th harmonic radiation from my XV144
transverter. I have found that I am causing TVI to the UK analogue
Channel 51 (711.25MHz) and digital Channel 52 (719.25MHz). Other TV
channels are free from interference.
I would be interested to know whether anyone else has
I know that information on the new Elecraft amplifiers is scarce, but does
anyone know if the K2 (15W) will be able to provide sufficient drive or will
the KPA 100 be required?
I'm trying to plan my future purchases ...
Thanks

I've also tried using an electronic key as a DOT generator. As another
writer has already said it's not a very good solution. The bio-feedback is
missing.
On the other hand, ten years ago I aquired an extra speed weight from
Vibroplex and put it onto the key's arm together with the original one.
Hi
I have no information on this but I think there is a specification from the
FCC that any external HF band amplifier must require at least 50 watts of
drive for full output. This is to keep the CB'ers from using the amps with
the 4 watt CB rigs. There was even a lot of discussion about the
When I was first licensed, in the '50s, there was a game that some
chose to play. Those playing this game were almost always novices. The
game was to gradually increase your sending speed until the other op
yelled uncle by sending pse qrs. Of course, you started this game at
your own risk.
Will the new Elecraft amplifiers be able to output full power when used with a
K2/100 operating in RTTY mode? The K2/100 power output must cut back from 100W
to about 20W when operating RTTY and other digital modes to prevent
overheating. If the amplifier is able to put out full power with

Here is a small tidbit of possibly useful information in this period of low
sunspot activity, which probably everybody but me knew anyway.
The PAR EndFedZ is a popular backpacking or portable semi-QRP (25 watts
maximum) multi-band antenna covering 40, 20, and 10 meters.

Dave,
The K2 by itself cannot legally drive an amplifier to full power; the
rule states that at
I sometimes do that to use my TH7DX on 30m. The K1 and K2 have no problem
loading it on 40m and 80m too, but it doesn't hear or radiate very well.
Still it's usable in a pinch.

You can often get a match to a difficult antenna system by making it LESS
efficient. Many have posted how they have been able to load up this or that
antenna after using fewer radials in the counterpoise or through some
similar means.
That raises the resistance of the system which helps the
Folks,
My K2 workbench is nearing an empty state. If you have a K2 in need of
repair or upgrade or even just alignment, I can handle it for you. I am
listed on Elecraft's Builders for Hire list, and I will build a K2 to your
preferences.

Hi Grif -
This is an interesting idea, but when I try to sketch out the schematic, it
looks
a little odd to me.
The Par transformer is either a true, flux-coupled transformer with a ground
return connecting the ground sides of the primary and secondary windings, or
it's an autotransfomer

OK, I am sure the answer to this question is in the manuals. That said,
I haven't found it yet. I get a HiCurr warning on various bands at
powers between 75 and 100W. Rig performs perfectly otherwise, and the
HiCurr warnings don't seem to affect it's performance (worked 6N0F this
AM oon 40)
Fred,
Since you have the KPA100, you should have set the menu item CAL CUR to 3.5
amps. If you did not, that could be adequate explaination.
The High Current warnings are indicating that the base K2 is drawing a
current greater than the CAL CUR setting - it says nothing about the current
