[Elecraft] KX1, ATU, and output power

, it's a reach, but it's all I've got at the moment. Any thoughts/suggestions? I can try operating without the ATU and use my outboard tuner. But I figured as long as I've got the tuner, I'd like to use it. With best regards, Pete -- Peter N. Spotts -- W1PNS http://www.w1pns.net Email: w1

[Elecraft] OK, KX1 nervous Nellie question testing the 80-30 board

. How much higher? I got a reading of about 38.9 ma. The various voltage checks all were fine, between 4.8 and 5 vdc. So I presume those are OK. It's the current measurement that I'm a bit concerned about. Any thoughts, other than I need to chill? ;-) With best regards, Pete -- Peter N
