I can't do that here Vic because on most of my antennas the net power from the antennas results in a peak voltage much greater than 0.5 volts. .5 volts peak, which is the approximate conduction limit of a silicon rectifier like a 1N4007, is only 4 dBm!!!! That will turn your K3 into a Yaesu FT-101 for IM and even order performance. 73 Tom ______________________________________________________________ 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
