Hello all, Well I now have what's called a Kangaroo KX1! It hiked 2-miles up the mountain to Pulpit Rock on the AT. I setup my BW Vertical and my KX1. I then hit the tune buttons and NO POWER OUTPUT! I then put my KX1 under my shirt to warm it up. I waited about five minutes and hooked it up to my BW - full power output 4w!
I had to do this every qso and make the qso short so I could keep my KX1 transmitting in the cold weather that was below freezing. So during the breaks, I was walking around with my KX1 tucked on my belly under my two shirts and two fleece jackets just like a Kangaroo thus the name "Kangaroo KX1." I will troubleshoot my KX1 soon with freeze mist. I plan to first put my KX1 tuner in the CAL mode to bypass it and see if the problem is in the tuner. If not then hit the transmitter with Freeze-Mist to find the bad component. 72, Ed,WA3WSJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
