My K3 is working well on PSK31, but I have seen some information about
operating digital at 25 watts. Presently I transmit at 25 watts with great
success. The comments are that at that low power the fan may not keep the
equipment cool enough. One suggestion was to transmit at a higher power,
Hi Group:
OK... here's my mag loop story:
I have two AlexLoops and one is the original version that uses copper
tubing for the main loop. I used that loop to make an RTTY QSO with a station
in Moldova. I had set the loop up indoors (in my sunroom, which has a lot of
windows) and worked
"I wonder if the SWR runaway at 150W could be due to the PVC pipe used as
the insulator for the variable capacitor? PVC is quite lossy at RF.
Perhaps when it gets hot it detunes the capacitor. It would be easy to
check by simply feeling the cap to see if it gets warm."
The insulator/dielectric
I love to see people doing serious homebrew. Bravo!

Moving out of CA before they put up a fence! I’ve got the following items for
sale that will help (slightly) lighten the load of packing and moving:
KX2 serial #01990 with built-in KXAT2 antenna tuner, Fred Cady KX2 book, and
Right-angle BNC connector. The KX2 and tuner work perfectly - no
I used to run PSK31 on my K3 at 25-30 watts with no issues, no breaks
needed.

A couple of people expressed an interest so here is a link to a presentation on
my mag loop. It's a while since the presentation was given but the loop is
still in service in the gamma match configuration.
I made a small transmitting loop a couple of years ago as an experiment
with a material I wanted to try. One of the materials was not appropriate,
but I made it work for the sake of the experiment. I plan to make another
loop at some point from a different material so it's not an issue, but that

Hi Jim,
USPS Priority Mail goes to Alaska and Hawaii just like it does to the lower 48,
same price. Why reduce your possible pool of buyers?

The K4 does not appear to have an IF Out connector on the rear panel,
like the K3. Can the XVTR IF Out be configured to provide this
functionality?

Home:
I built two mag loops, one with an MFJ butterfly cap, and one with a
massive 60pf bread-slicer I found on Ebay--if my calculations are correct,
the monster should take a kw of power on 20m. The MFJ capacitor is not
high quality, but it works over a wide range. However, I much prefer my
AlexLoops
The W6PQL amp and MFJ wattmeter have been sold.
Still have the KX2, AIM-4170C, and the KX2 heatsink kit available...
