[Elecraft] OT - SFI going crazy - 127 - 10 should be open

Take a look at the SFI at 127. It has been going up a bit and bounced to 103 a couple of days ago but is at 127 now so 10 meters should be open and 6 meters might even work. 73, Jim KG0KP __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

Hmmm ... for over a decade we used a stock gasoline Generac [7.5 KVA IIRC] at the Alpine County camp for the Cal QSO Party.  Acoustically noisy [RF quiet] but ran fine and the various transceivers we used over the years never complained. With the tube amps, PF ran around 0.9 or so, with the

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

This new variety of Generac's are obviously all the new "Inverter" type generators, because in order for a non-invertor type to make 60 Hz AC power, it HAS to run at some multiple of 60Hz, typically 3600 RPM constant speed. The ONLY way the engine speed can vary is to utilize an SS circuit to

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

OK, more complexity more MTBF issues.  If the system is for whole house backup and you need LONG term protection, think "reliability".   The older systems are easy to maintain and service and there is nothing to go wrong on the AC generation that simple parts you can get will get it back

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

The only issue I have had with my Generac 16KW Quiet-Source was with a couple old UPS supplies. In their software I had to open up the window for voltage. The new UPS supplies and any other equipment in the house have not had any problem with the generator power. I like the idea of the

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

I found that Generac has a series of egens they call the 'Synergy' line. These are variable speed generators. The only variable speed generators I'm familiar rectify the alternator's output then use PWM to generate the 60hz 115VAC waveform. The Honda small portable 1KW and 2KW gens use this

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

I suspect a fair number of us are interested, as long as we can keep to the (reasonable) OT limits. Friends have Generac units, not "low distortion" and report good results. Since most of the ham gear I've owned takes 110v, rectifies, filters and regulates it, I'm not sure we need to worry

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Whole House Generator

I tried to get more information on the "syntergy" process.  I know of no electrical design of the alternator that allow a non distorted change in frequency of the output,  However a method of load sensing and a planetary transmission with speed selection could do the job of letting the motor
