Hi All, Yesterday I finished assembling my KX1 SN 1069 and everything works or so it seemed.
In testing the receiver it heard a signal on 40 meters at .1 uV well and on 20 meters it was a bit less sensitive at .2 uV. As receivers go, not bad. In testing the transmitter it too worked but here is my problem. With a 12 volt external power supply I am only able to get 2.5 watts out on 40 and almost 2 on 20 meters. No, the power does not sag. I am a hardware engineer so I am not new to circuitry and this kind of device. I did the usual rechecking of my work, verified parts values (visually), solder connections, toroids ETC. I inspected the PCB under a microscope for good connections. Before I jump in and tear it apart I am hoping one of you have had this problem and direct me to the source of trouble. Other than low power the rig works OK and I might say very well. All help appreciated. K4SV Dave... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.
