[Elecraft] diode replacement?

2004-08-06 Thread N2TK
I need to replace a diode in the K60XV - part #E560014. It's a PIN labeled 30 81. A while back I remember reading something about a 1N4??? Diode would work. Does anyone remember this? What diode? Are there any drawbacks in performance by using this substitute diode? I have ordered a replacement

Hello all, Have noticed over the recent years that current baluns are used in places where the load/source Z is not purely resistive (OK will allow a little reactance) , example - an incoming transmission line that looks like R +j (quite a lot) goes to a balun then the to an ATU then to the

Hi all, I seem to remember a couple of guys looking to experiment with setting up an extension speaker and PSU in an EC2 enclosure. Has anything come of it? I am interested in this, especially since I added the KPA100 as I find the speaker in it a little bassy for my liking. 72/73 Ian -- Ian

The current balun can be readily demonstrated to provide equal and opposite currents to highly unbalanced loads. A simple test is to connect a balun to a load consisting of a 50 ohm resistor connected to a common or ground place and similarly a 100 ohm resistor. Measurement of the r-f voltage

The K2 power connector is a Switchcraft S-760, Mouser part number 502-S-760, page 700 in Catalog 619. The companion chassis jack, should you want one, is a Switchcraft 722A, Mouser part number 502-722A. These connectors use a 2.1 MM center pin. - Jim, KL7CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
