Like you, John, I find the XV144 to be extremely stable after allowing a few minutes for the oven to attain its operating temperature. I get the correct offset without the need for any additional inductance to pull the crystal.
A modification I have made though is to add a cooling fan similar to that fitted to the XV432. My XV144 is an early model, so I also drilled vent holes in the top and bottom covers. I believe these are now standard in later XV144 kits. 73 de David G4DMP In a recent message, John Ragle <[email protected]> writes > > I think the oven and L19 solve the two problems of drift and >offset, at least in my XV144. I get ~20 W maximum from this XV144. -- + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | David M Pratt, Kippax, Leeds. | | Website: http://www.g4dmp.co.uk | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
