Re: [Elecraft] KX1 ATU low power

It is rare for any KX1 to be "toast". Unless you have done significant damage to the board, it is repairable. Even board damage can be handled by removing the parts from the old board and using them on a new board. A little work, certainly, but it can be done. If you can wait for a time, I c

[Elecraft] KX1 ATU low power

2012-07-02 Thread AC8JW
Just finished the ATU module for the KX1. Relays all work and swr into the DL1 is r 1.0 on all bands. Power output though is limited to about 2 watts per the display. Minus the the ATU, the W1 says I am getting 3 watts into the DL1 on all bands except 80M where it is 4 watts. Regulated bench

Frank, Yes, I have several ideas: Check it first on a 50 ohm dummy load to see if the power output as measured with your 'scope (or RF Probe) agrees with that displayed by the KX1. Your antenna is connected to the output of the tuner, and the displayed SWR is read at the input of the tuner. Wha

Hi all, Does anyone have any idea about the possible cause of the low power reading by the KX1 ATU? Thanks, Frank Hi, After having been off the air for about a year (moving house; other interests) I have recently fired up my KX1 again. When tuning up a random length of wire, I noticed that
