[Elecraft] K3S with ACOM 1000 linear amp.

Alex, no connections other than coax cable and a cable with cinch plugs both ends are necessary. Just set K3's power output to a level your Acom 1000 is satisfied with. Make sure not to overdrive the Amp. Find the maximum drive level in the manual of your Acom. Your Amp will display an

I'm curious as to exactly why a "junk" connector supposedly has so much more loss than a "good" connector? They're probably both (nickel, silver ???) plated brass with a dielectric insulator usually Teflon, phenolic or ?? Is it the plating, the insulator, the fit of the threads, the

Why use barrels? Doesn't Amphenol or Pastornack make a female UHF connector to put on cable end. For this specific use, a custom built cable seems appropriate. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Oct 11, 2016, at 4:38 AM, Jim Brown wrote: > >> On

SOME 'junk' PL259s are fine. If there are problems with the threads you will know right away. I have had some that are plated with something that won't take solder, or which have plastic insulation that melts when you solder the center pin. But again, you will know this right away. SO239s and

Hello all, I have a k3s and want to link it with my new acom 1000 amp. Looking through both manuals i see the important info on controlling the drive power with the power control on the k3 and not using ALC, also the TX delay time may have to be increased a bit. I am not sure on the connection

HI, I to have always used only Amphenol connectors. However, this year, in putting up another Gap Challenger, I am using a DXE pl259 at the antenna coax end. DXE connectors have worked well for me in the past in another application, are silver plated brass and the dialectric is PTFE. I've spoken
