[Elecraft] KAT500 in Bypass @ Legal limit

2020-11-05 Thread Patrick Skerrett
Hey guys, I have a need for a while to use an automatic antenna switch on fully resonant antennas. The KAT500 works great with an interface to my flexRadio to change antennas for me at specific bands. If I keep the tuner in full bypass mode, but just use it as an automatic switch, do you forsee

Thanks. A couple of reviews I saw of third-party pads referred to reduced bass and overemphasized treble. Similar to what you'd get by pulling the headphones away from the ears. 73, Frank K6FOD Well, maybe THAT's why I like these Sony MDR-7506's so much. I find their treble response is

We prescient few who recognize its obvious importance must sincerely hope that, after K4 launch, perspective will be restored and marketing only the very finest Elecraft-logo ball caps will regain primacy within the company's vision and mission. But yet...either version adequately serves its

Well the newer had just doesn't sit on my head as well as the older one. In a light wind, it tends to take off. I adjusted the band in the back, etc. and the only thing I can come up with is the hat is not as preformed as the old had was. So I thought it must be that the material is thinner or

I'm with you. The hat from a few years ago is/was the best fitting and nicest feeling baseball hat I've ever had. A few months ago when there was a special on all things Elecraft I bought 3 more so that I would never run out. When I received them I immediately felt the difference -- not as soft

I really liked the Elecraft hat (baseball cap) I bought a couple years ago so I bought another one this year just to have a spare. BUT the newest one, while the same brand, is not the same. They are made in different countries. The cloth is very limp and does not feel as secure and

We all have different head and ear shapes. I purchased a pair of MDR-7506 headphones based on some raves on this list to give them a try. Although they sound fine, I couldn’t wear them with their original ear-pads for more than an hour at a time. They mashed my ears, hurt, and were tiring.
