I have a T1 that I have used for several years. I recently purchased a QCX-mini, and an SW-3B. I normally use my K2, KX2 or KX3 for portable operations, but occasionally I like to use something different for QRP CW. Both the QCX-mini and the SW-3B require a 2.0 or less SWR. The documentation for SW-3B says that operating at any SWR over 2.0 will damage the radio. The outputs varies with voltage, but usually runs at 4-5 watts with a 12V supply. If I attach the T1 to that rig, and perhaps the QCX-mini as well, it will require the rig attached to present a constant carrier to tune. This seems to eliminate using an auto tuner with the SW-3B at a minimum in that configuration.
Can someone tell me how I might get the T1 to tune in the field with something other than the rig. If I could trigger it to tune, then I could attach to the radio after the tune cycle. My plan is to use a resonant antenna, but that may not always be possible, especially with a three band rig like the SW-3B. Thanks, Terry, N7TB ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
