Re: [Elecraft] 8T 8R

Dave, I have to say that your Drake R4A is a neat looking bit of kit. I was a SWL 40-odd years ago and in those days - apart from Collins - the Drake line was the bees-knees. All I could afford was a HRO-MX and no bandspread coils! Great way of learning how to tune SSB signals with backlash on

Re: [Elecraft] T1 internal to FT-817

Well...last night I finished installing the T1 internally to my FT-817 with help and suggestions from Nigel G8IFF and Wayne. After seeign the guts of the radio I decided I was not courageous enough to try to open up the DIN of the FT-817 adaptor and solder the leads directly to the board. I

[Elecraft] Elecraft at Dayton

Good Morning, I was wondering, will there be anything special happening at the Elecraft Booth at Dayton? New secret weapons, closeout specials on the K3, 20Kw amplifiers? Or will it just be friendly business and kinship with the best rig owners in Hamdom? Cheers, Julius n2wn

RE: [Elecraft] Elecraft at Dayton

Julius, It is a good guess that the new QRP amp will be there on display, along with all the other gear. The booth is larger than before so that will be nice. You can come and watch me build my KX1 - I will be there with a live building demo at the booth, I just arranged that with Wayne and

RE: [Elecraft] Puzzling Incident; Now Have a Problem

Denny, The only thing I can think of in the KX1 is that C44 may be shorted which would put your power supply voltage onto the antenna jack. If I had to guess, I would say that your R7 had an RF Choke to ground, but your other antennas do not short the coax for DC. You may have zapped the RF

Don, I've been following the progress of the coming new 800watt and 1500 watt amps, but you mention a QRP amp.did I miss something? Rich k2cpe K2 #1102 -- Don Wilhelm wrote: Julius, It is a good guess that the new

Sorry folks for the 'fat-finger' on the keyboard - that should have been QRO amp. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- It is a good guess that the new QRP amp will be there on display, along with all the other gear. The booth is larger than before so that will be nice.

I can't comment on the Tokyo Hy-Power amps, but if you are interested in building your own 100 watt amp, K5OOR has a new group build project underway for a 5 watts in, 100 watts out amplifier based on a December '05 QST article called the SuperPacker Pro. Here is the url. to his web site for

[Elecraft] KX1 Crystal Filter Center Frequency a Little Low

I just finished building KX1 #1447. All went well with the construction. All seems to be working fine. This is the second KX1 I've built. I've also built three K2s and a K1, all with most options. I recently built another company's QRP rig and that was a chore, to say the least, compared with

Re: [Elecraft] Aves Is.

I was lucky. I usually listen to 15M on and off throughout the day, it does have sporadic openings. I just happened to hear him as he was just starting with the first CQ. Try listening tomorrow starting at 1500z on 21.023. I worked them at 1516Z. I wouldn't doubt them being on 21.023 later

Re: [Elecraft] KX1 Crystal Filter Center Frequency a Little Low

On the low end of the filter it drops down from around 600Hz over most of the range to around 500Hz. I am sure others can detail why. David, K3ZTUE . --- Roger Marrotte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just finished building KX1 #1447. All went well with the construction. All seems to be working

[Elecraft] Elecraft Amplifiers

Is there any determination of duty cycle rating made yet for RTTY contesting use? Will the amps produce full power on RTTY without overheating? If not, how many watts output is considered appropriate for extensive run mode operation? Has amp output power been determined when operating a

Re: [Elecraft] Aves Is.

Another good setting for NA QRPers to work YX0 is 0200-0300Z on 14023 kHz. Most evenings they are on 20m quite late, and by that time the band has closed to Europe, and most NA hams are trying to work YX0 on 80/40/30m. Thus, the pileup on 20 becomes small and manageable, and is easily cracked

AW: [Elecraft] KX1 Crystal Filter Center Frequency a Little Low

Ladder filters vary both their input/output impedance and their midfrequency when you vary the bandwith. High level rigs like the K2 therefore adjust the BFO regarding bandwith (Cal Filter), simpler rigs like the KX1 want the OP to do this by brain :-) The impedance change is why you have more

[Elecraft] re tokyo hi-power amps

I have been using for 2 years, an HL-200BDx with the K2. It puts out 200W with 10W drive or less, depending on the band. so far it has worked perfectly and has high levels of protection. Requires a good DC supply, i have a big battery bank as I'm on solar power. Chris Chris Meagher VK2LCD PO
