Thanks to the list for the comments and suggestions on K1 tuning range. Good idea Ralph. If you can fine tune just a little more, you will find even more CW up to 7123 or so. 7120 khz plus or minus BC QRM is SKCC suggested freq. and quite a bit of activity up there. SKCC is a group of over 1700 CW operators who have extended straight key nite to always. Same rules as SKN, i.e. mechanical keys only. I have thought about a 100 khz tuning range going from 7025 khz to 7125 khz but that would involve a new xtal in the premix circuit. I guess I will go for 125 khz. This gives about 12 khz per rev. Not too bad, I think. 73 - Rick - -- --- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph Tyrrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K1 tuning range
