There is little doubt that this key, particularly in Kit form is value for money indeed. BUT I have built one which works beutifully in my VK shack, where the antennas are in the clear and Coax fed
In my small QTH at G3SCD where the antennas are also coax fed but very low and close to the shack, I cannot overcome (yet) the problems of RF getting back to the keyer and making it quite useless. Toroids, ferrites chokes etc have been tried with little change It is intersting to note that there I have what I call a decent earth and in VK virtually no earth. Also in UK 100 watt is my max with the K3 alone. 73 David VK3DBD/G3SCD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
