[Elecraft] EASIER Toroid tinning

If you use the high temp blob method, try using larger diameter solder. I use the largest diameter Radio Shack stuff. Works better. More fun! 73, N4YM, George ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to

[Elecraft] Tinning toroid leads

FWIW I touch a 35 watt iron (dating back to the sixties) to the wire, no solder blob. the enamel disappears in a blink of an eye, vaporized. I use a small hemostat on the wire to stop its progress up the wire. 72, Fred kt5x ___ Elecraft mailing

Re: [Elecraft] sidetone mod now works

I did the mod recently on my K2/100 serial 5545. It made a big difference and now the sidetone is much more relaxing to listen to. I didn't enjoy txing on the K2 before this. This is what I did : 1 - Remove L1 and C33 2 - Solder a 2.2uF in place of L1 3 - Cut a small piece of holed circuit

Re: RE: [Elecraft] KPA100 mechanical assembly question

Don, Many thanks for the response. I just wanted to double check on that. I guess what threw me was the previous step to remove the anodized coating. Locate the two machined standoffs on the pedestal, labeled S in Figure 29. Lay the sanding block across the top surfaces of both standoffs.

[Elecraft] K2 #6030 on the air!

I finished building the basic K2 on Wednesday night. I had just finished aligning the receiver and transmitter, still had the cover off, when I heard an Italian station calling CQ around 7010 KHz, so I gave him a call. He didn't respond, but F3NB came back to me! I was running 10 watts into my

Re: [Elecraft] Tinning toroid leads

Yes, Fred, but you still have to tin the wire. I guess you save on solder and get less fumes which is a consideration. David G3UNA - Original Message - From: Trail Fox [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 1:48 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Tinning

[Elecraft] Toroids

I have wound hundreds of toroids and have an IMHO to submit...The flame method is the poorest, most time wasting, most dangerous procedure...Since we need to strip the enamel up to as close to the core as possible, the flame will inevitably damage the first and last few turns by scorching both

[Elecraft] XV50 transverter update

Hello Don and Ron: I got my new power module in the mail today and it went right in without a hitch. Alignment at that point went very smooth. I used a DL-1 to measure voltage and then chart it out to 20 watts. My LP-100 is waiting to be built. :-) I figured 22 volts was about 20 watts and

Re: [Elecraft] EQP

If you are interested in collecting some Europeans on 40m during the EQP, 7040 kHz plus minus is usually well occupied by Eu RTTY, Letter stations, an ITU beacon and sometimes SSB. I would suggest 7020 kHz to 7032 kHz to be a better bet. 73, Geoff GM4ESD - Original Message - From:

Great. I will be on 40 and 20 CW only. I haven't gotten around to installing the 80M option on my KX1 #666. I am sure it will be a devil of a time to get it done tonight in time for tomorrow and I don't want to take a chance in having the radio disassembled. I am too busy fixing Bill Gates'

Re: [Elecraft] sidetone mod now works

I played a bit with this mod this evening. I can duplicate the results, but I'd like to understand a bit more about this circuit. What is the purpose of RP5 pins 7/8 and pins 9/10? This grounds the audio signal via 940 ohms of resistance. Is this just to provide a DC bias for the electrolytic
