Re: [Elecraft] Don't Shoot!

Richard, If there is any overshoot, my KPA500 hasn't complained. I have both an IC-7300 and an IC-7610. The KPA500 is teamed with the KAT500. The keying line is routed through the KAT500 and the rigs are both set for a 15ms transmit delay. I do not run an ALC line on either rig. The rig power is

We hope to get back to work on this soon. We have a prototype -- just needs some firmware. 73, Wayne N6KR > On May 5, 2021, at 12:42 PM, Don - W6CZ wrote: > > Waiting with breath like bait... ;) > > > > - > Don > W6CZ > DM07bk > -- > Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ >

Me too. I’m fine with folks running QRP transceivers off 500W amps and all, but I use them at <10W, so the T1 is perfect. Other options take up too much space/weight in my backpack! Bret/N4SRN -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/

Steven, I use a KPA500 (and KAT500 tuner) with both an IC-7300 and an IC-7610. Both have the transmit delay set for 15ms. The amp is keyed directly from either rig using RCA/RCA cables from the SEND jack to the amp's keying jack. I do not use a keying line buffer between the amp and either rig.

2021-06-02 Thread Steven Roth
I am running an Icom 7300 with an LGD tuner. Putting together the KPA500 kit. Can anyone with same setup give me advice on cable hookups between radio and amp? Are there any IC 7300 settings required? Yes, I have the manuals. Thanks, Steve AD4K

In all honesty I haven't been on 2-meter EME for 35 years.  Gear was all homebrew then.  That said, I would stick with a 28 MHz i-f.  You must consider image response and where it lands with respect to other services. I once saw an analysis that promoted a different i-f but I fail to remember

I use three Elecraft and one DEMI transverters with my K3. All split IF at 28 MHz, single antenna path for each, PTT low. I’d go with the high stability LO, especially at 432 or higher. The lower level drive works fine with the K3 and I believe the K3S transverter interface is identical in that

Hi Joe, >From what I've been able to tell, for what most people use transverters for (SSB/CW on the weak signal portions of VHF/UHF), 28MHz is perfectly okay. Personally, I like choices, so I've considered getting a 10MHz IF if I ever got deep into transverters. This would in theory allow full

I am looking to add the DEMI (Q5) transverter to my K3s and have no experience with transverters other than the internal one in my KX3. In the future, I may wish to progress to 2m EME as well. Here are some choices I need to make and I would appreciate any advice: Common IF vs Split IF. I'm
