Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 - 80m poor quality SSB

2004-12-29 Thread Stewart Baker
Although the 1k resistor mod seems to work there is a noticeable drop in received signals. Modeling the KPA100 T/R switching showed this additional loss. As a temporary measure until the official Elecraft modification comes out I have replaced RFC3 (100uH) with a 1mH RFC. My simulations

[Elecraft] Question about SB transmission issues

2004-12-29 Thread George A. Thornton
I have completed #4554, which consists of the K-2, noise blanker, DSP2 unit, 160 meter, 60 meter and SSB modules. I bought a used Bird wattmeter through Ebay, which was finally delivered yesterday. Last night I went thoroughly through all of the alignment and test procedures. I did not have

Hi Rich: I wish I could agree with Tim here, but I'm afraid I can't. Personal opinion of N0SS follows... read it for what little it's worth...! The QSK in the K2 is decent, but not as good as most TenTecs or even my venerable old TS-930S. I can readily copy signals between words up to about

Re: [Elecraft] Yosemite Sam zulu time

I notice the lack of familiarity with military time and Zulu time keeping among our ARES members, and new hams during simulated emergency tests, or public service events where any messaging is done. It is widespread since the recission of the requirement to keep a log, I am afraid. -Stuart K5KVH

RE: [Elecraft] K2 control Board Resistance Checks

If you get strange readings after reversing the leads try reading the resistance on pin 21 (8R) and pin 23 (8T) of P2 Look at Appendix B Control Board. even the best of us occasionally mistake the pin out on transistors. Rich, KE0X Chuck, Try reversing your DMM probes - it is possible that no

RE: [Elecraft] SSB and MH2

2004-12-29 Thread William Johnson
Low and High on SSB is also in the perception of the listener. If you think they are on a specific freq. and tune using that then you may be off. I listen to nets where the net control can be off 50-70 Hz and I tune accordingly. Some lids think they are right on all the time... :-) Bill
