Hi folks, the K1 is my only rig (I've been licensed only 18 months) and I
have been enjoying the delights of HF QRP and CW, however I do have an old
TS520. It is very sick and I don't have the time or inclination to fix it
(the K1 is more than good enough for me) but the bomb proof driver and PA
is fully functional. So over Xmas I have made various mods to the driver
and control circuits and now have the facility to either run the K1 on it's
own or at the flick of a switch use it to drive the TS520 up to 100W. QRO
on the cheap hi. I'm quite chuffed at having modern micro p equipment
working with the old valve (tube) amps a real hybrid. I have to sacrifice
auto CW break in but I'm not too fussed about that.
One question though, do I need to worry about any increase in harmonics or
alteration of the keying waveshape by running the K1 signal through the
TS520? I've looked at the output on a scope and it looks clean to me but I
don't have a spectrum analyser.
All the best for the New Year
