Re: [Elecraft] [KX1] Help sought KX1 high SWR on 40 and balanced antenna

Hi Don, Thanks. The antenna has the full length of ladder line 81'. It's probably up 45'-50' at center and 35'-40 feet out from house. Mostly vertical and drops down alongside tree and then slopes over to house. It has not been cut. Why is the single wire configuration so much

Re: [Elecraft] [KX1] Help sought KX1 high SWR on 40 and balanced antenna

Hi Dan, By some chance is the feedline rolled on itself... so that either feeder is not unevenly coupled to anything around it... like gutters... or the elements of the antenna? The long run of feed line may be better lasting in the wind if it is twisted 3-6 times a foot or so... it isn't

I would say try it with an analyser, see what you get, can't hurt may help you resolve your problem Al - Original Message - From: Daniel Paul Perez daniel.pe...@fshsociety.org To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Cc: Daniel Paul Perez chesapeake1...@post.harvard.edu Sent: Tuesday, December 22,

[Elecraft] K3 Main RF Gain problem

Hi Looking for some insight. K3 # 1189 FW revs 3.68 KAT3 KBPF3 main reciever KDVR3 KIO3 KPA3 KRX3 KXV3 S-Meter in relative mode. The problem is with the main RF gain. If I turn down the Main RF gain S meter goes up as expected, the gain is heard to decrease and seen to decrease by

[Elecraft] West Mountain Radio Comspkr...

Just checked and they seem to be back ordered. I wonder how long the wait is. Maybe this is the Christmas rush. But, does anyone have a switch setup or configuration for feeding multiple rigs into one set of speakers. My current Icom speaker has dual input with a switch for port A or B. I

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Main RF Gain problem

Jim, You say that when you do the S-meter calibration the gain control operates as you expect, but is somehow different otherwise. First, I hope you mean the rf gain calibration, which isn't calibrating the S-meter but trying to compensate the ill-defined gain v. volts curve of the JFET i-f

You can now enter the label for the active antenna. Use the VFO A dial to select the character at the current position. Use the VFO B dial to move the position through the 5 position. matt W6NIA K3 #24 On Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:41:14 -0800, you wrote: If the K3 ANT button is HELD, the VFO B
