Hi all, I got my T1 tuner from Elecraft yesterday (bought the built/tested version to speed things up hi) and have a question about operating it.
When it's tuning, the K2 power output tends to go bonkers. It often gets up to slightly scary levels while the tuner is still negotiating pretty high SWR's. I've had it at full 15W output at the end of the tune, even tho I started off with the power set at 1W. My question is, is there a way to keep this from happening or at least moderate it a bit? I suspect it's normal for a transmitter's current flow to increase during high SWRs, but I don't want to stress my transmitter any more than necessary. Or perhaps I should just go with the internal ant. tuner - does it do the same thing? Other than that it seems to work great.... Tnx es 73, LS -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-T1-tuner-operation-question-tp4598628p4598628.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
