[Elecraft] K2 RFC15 question

Anyone familiar with the mod for VFO stability around 7.182 MHz? It involved a tiny 100uH choke and a 68pF capacitor. Well, I broke the choke and replaced it with a toroid I had laying around that was 10uH. I'm wondering if I should get the original choke or just leave things the way I have them.

[Elecraft] sensitivity/noise question

Compared to my IC-706MKII, the Elecraft seems to be stingier on the S-meter and seems to hear a lot less noise. And yes, I used an antenna switch and did A/B comparisons. I shouldn't complain, since the Elecraft is great to listen to, especially on 40M, but should I break out the test equipment a

Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 voltage measurements?

Tom, I have not yet seen a reply on the reflector to your questions, so I will try to give you some information. The voltage at U5 pin 1 will depend on the reflected voltage sensed by D17 and the setting of R27 - if you are measuring the voltage under transmit conditions, do you have a good dummy

[Elecraft] KXAT1 Tuning range

The KXAT1 can match a wide range of impedances in steps, using latching relays. I would like to plot all the values using a 3D graph with L's and C's as X and Y axes to obtain Z as the dependant variable. It would be useful to have a spreadsheet or the formulas for the tuning networks (6 nodes m
