If you are not using VOX, then you must be using a serial or parallel
cable?

I was going to use VOX instead of a physical PTT, but that doesn't work
well. I've adjusted gains but it insists on cycling on off. Thought

Look for gender changers, they will fix your RS-232 problem.
Such as:

Plugging gender changers into google generates lots of appropriate

With the DL1, when you do the calculation to get the power level, what
do you measure with? V-AC or V-DC?

formula can be simplified to P
= 2x (Vdmm + 0.15)^2/50 - that is: add 0.15 to the DMM reading, square
it and divide by 25 - the 0.15 term is an assumption for the diode drop,
those who would like more precision can measure their particular diode
forward voltage drop.

I joined this list because I was contemplating purchasing a K2. I
have since purchased the radio, and had more fun building it than I
expected. I now have a great radio that I can fix, that I am proud

amazing group of

their amp, and everything in-between. And we all have something we can
learn from each other. That is what has kept me on this list.

need to do is check you passband, make sure they start at 300hz and then
listen to both U L sideband on another rig.

I am VERY interested, and I have heard of folks using this combination
successfully. I made the mistake of assuming the setup would not work,
and gave away my rigblaster to a friend, only to find out otherwise

I was wondering where they are initiating PTT from? Serial Port,
Parallel Port, or VOX?
