Re: [Elecraft] What autotuner to use with KPA500?

I am using a borrowed LDG600 with somewhat satisfactory results, but will also be buying a KAT500 if and when they are made available for purchase by Elecraft. The LDG tunes all of my antennas well except for 160 meters, where it has trouble finding a match at times. I'm using a 3 el cubical

[Elecraft] K2: Remoting KPA100 and KAT100 - how many KIO2 needed?

2012-01-25 Thread Andrew Moore
I'm planning to remote a KPA100 and KAT100 from my existing K2/10, which has no KIO2 module. I believe a KIO2 comes with the KPA100. Do I need yet another KIO2 to make this work? Does one come with the KPA100 as well? Sorry for the FAQs... --Andrew, NV1B

2012-01-25 Thread Don Wilhelm
Andrew, The KPA100 contains the same function as the KIO2 on its circuit board. The RS-232 part will not function when the KPA100 is mounted remotely. However, you have to provide a path for the internal K2 signals to communicate with the external equipment - IMPORTANT - those are NOT RS-232
