[Elecraft] Transverters
Reflector Members, Those of you using Elecraft TransvertersAre all of you using an A/B type switch to go from HF to VHF on the K2' transverter hookup? I was a little surprised to see that to get the Drive RF to the transverters required the use of an external or separate switch that would require the individual to switch from the HF antenna to the transverters with an external switch. Is there any way to use those lower drive RCA connectors to eliminate the switch? Second question - my 144 transverter is about 100 cycles high. Is there a way to correct this?

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 #4355 is just about finished.
Hi It really does not matter with one exception The KPA100 and 60M option require removal of the heat sink on the K2. This is not something you want to do many times because of the possibility of damage to the thermal pads or loss of the hardware stack on the output transistors. I would suggest removing the bottom cover and heat sink once and installing all of the connectors for the KPA100, SSB and the 60M at the same time then you can install the modules when ever you want without requiring the removal of the heat sink. I always install all of the connectors for the KPA100 60M SSB and noise blanker when building a K2 so it is ready for any option with a minimum of disassembly. The connectors come in the option kits so you can fish them out of the packages and install them at the same time you are building the RF board if you already have the options. If you do not have the options yet you can order the connector kit from Elecraft for a few dollars and install them so you are ready for any of the options. If you are going to order the connectors separately then don't forget to order the standoffs and hardware also or you may need to disassemble the heat sink to install the hardware.

I'll probably end up doing the SSB first just because it'll take less time. -- 73, Brian VE7NGR ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.netmailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Transverters
Paul, I would never recommend such a device if your a serious VHFr They leak and will pick up alot of external signals that are not on VHF! I think a famous DX record in the UK was claimed by two 28 MHz drivers and leaky connections in the 70s! I would only recommend good solid cables and connectors and no switch if your wanting your system to remain at the best performance. The A/B type switches are generally not good and will leak signal across the switch ports. You can use the offset command in the K2 menu to trim the transverter onto an accurate external signal - as long as your really sure that your are 100Hz off!!! dont rely on the local beacon ;-) regards Simon DL4PLM/GM4PLM From: Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Transverters Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2004 09:31:22 -0400 Reflector Members, Those of you using Elecraft TransvertersAre all of you using an A/B type switch to go from HF to VHF on the K2' transverter hookup?

Re: [Elecraft] Transverters
HI Yes if you install the KX60M option then the switching is not required on the antenna because the K2 RF is not required to drive the transverter. The drive comes from the low level output on the KX60M not the K2 finals. The K2 output circuit is turned off when the transverter is selected on the band switch and low level drive is selected in the menu. The XV144/222 does not have a frequency adjustment for the local oscillator (although the XV50 does) There is an offset adjustment in the K2 transverter menu to compensate for slight frequency variations. This will allow you to adjust the K2 dial indicator to the correct frequency for your transverter. Each of the six transverter menu selections have their own offset setting.

Re: [Elecraft] Transverters
Hi Paul, We also offer the K60XV internal transverter interface option for the K2. It has a separate low level output for the driving transverters and automatically switches to that output from the K2's HF output when you select a transverter band. To correct for the 100 Hz offset go into the K2's transverter menu area. There is a +/- offset setting that will compensate for this. 73, Eric WA6HHQ - Paul wrote: Reflector Members, Those of you using Elecraft TransvertersAre all of you using an A/B type switch to go from HF to VHF on the K2' transverter hookup?

[Elecraft] WA3WSJ on AT
Hello all, Yesterday, 7/5, I took my hiking buddy Trevor, my dog, with me and we hiked the AT. No radios, just a conditioning hike for the both of us. We've been walking 5 miles every other day at home, but I wanted to get back up in the mountains! This hike starts at the Hamburg, PA Parking Lot and goes straight up 2 miles to Pulpit Rock to an elevation of 1580 feet. Not to high, but it's straight up hill ALL the way! I made it to Pulpit Rock in one hour - used to take me 45 minutes. I didn't feel bad at all on top of the mountain, but I guess the back injury slowed me down- hi! Once on top, the view was as I remembered it - just beautiful! Trevor drank his usual 1L of water! I love hiking with Trevor, but he drinks like a fish. After I took off my shirt and hat and dried them out in the sun, it was back down the mountain. Don't forget to work me this Thursday and Friday on my 2-Day AT Trip. Trevor and myself will hike 8.5 miles starting at Port Clinton, PA to Eagles Nest Shelter on Thursday. After I set up camp and we eat dinner, I will play radio 40m/20m. On Friday we will eat breakfast and I will then play radio until lunch. Radio: K1 @ 3w Antenna: VBWFPA 72, Edward R.

[Elecraft] KX1 and airport security
Went through 2 airports (RDU and STL) this weekend. KX1+ ~60ft of 26 ga wire were in a Rubbermaid container, which I took out of my carry-on and put in bin to go through the x-ray. One screener asked me if it was an electronic device. No one opened the Rubbermaid box. I was surprised it did not attract more attention-circuit boards, a metal box, 6 AA batteries, a big coil of wire?!? 73, Eric N0HHS KX1 #670 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Re: KX1 and airport security
Just a little over a year ago I took a trip to England and Ireland for 3 weeks. Had the K2 in my checked luggage, and 2 HT's and a Digital SLR in my carry-on's. No questions or problems with the radios, however they had to tear my carry-on apart to look at the camera. It appears that the lenses I had with me are what set the inspectors off. It seems they look suspect in the X-Ray machine as they show up like metal tubes, I guess they must look like pipe bombs or something. Anyhow now that I'm used to this I carry all my camera gear in a Camera bag so it's all by itself. They still open it but it takes much less time. Also remember they limit the number of batteries (actually they don't want any loose batteries on your carry-on's), so I put all my spare NiMh's and chargers in my checked luggage. It's a small price to pay for the security, I don't mind it. By the way the most thorough checks were done at the Airport in New JerseyChicago's O'Hare and London's Heathrow weren't bad at all...very quick and smooth all the way..including immigration ect.

I recently took a trip and did not take my KX1 because I was concerned about potential problems at the airports.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: KX1 and airport security
Hi, guys. I took my KX1 to Ft. Myers, FL in February. Had nary a problem. The KX1 with lithium AA cells, wire antenna, counterpoise, and all accessories were in a Pelican case with a clear top. My laptop and shoes got swabbed for traces of explosives, but the radios (I also had my W32A with me) were cleared with little or no concern. The same was NOT true when I went to park my car in an underground garage at a large banking institutions sky scraper here in Boston while with my family. In spite of the three backpacks in the back of my station wagon, the guard froze when he saw the KX1 it it's case. He got REALLY excited and began pointing at it, yelling, WHUT ISS DAT?, over and over as he backed away from the car. My 14 year-old son got out of the car to see what he was upset over and when he tried to pick it up and show the guard it was only a radio, the guard got even MORE excited, screaming NO!!! LEAVE IT 'LONE!!!. About 5 minutes later, after finally getting him calmed down, he finally, and hurriedly, motioned us on through the checkpoint. Thank goodness he didn't have a firearm with him. He probably would have drawn it from it's holster. After all that, he never did look at any of the backpacks, only the KX1. I guess the packages don't matter unless they LOOK like a bomb. One thing is for sure, if I DO have to go into Boston during the last week of July when the DNC is in town, I'll leave the KX1 behind. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid! Wayne, maybe you should stencil every KX1 with the notice, This is NOT a BOMB! ;-) Rick Hampton, WD8KEL W2BJ wrote: I recently took a trip and did not take my KX1 because I was concerned about potential problems at the airports.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: KX1 and airport security
Pierre, I have learned that all long and/or sharp items should go in checked baggage. Also, I leave time when going through security so I can go back down to the ticket counters and check something that security is concerned about, if need be. I am amazed that I have seldom been questioned about my carry-on contents. I always take great quantities of wires, batteries, radios, connectors, and other items, and I've never been asked about any of it.

Thank You from KX1 # 618 for putting all the little things in the right bag and envelope. Thank You for putting in each bag the right number of things, and Thank You for not putting in more little things than there should be (and leaving me to find out what to do with the extra things). Thank You for getting it right. I do not think that Elecraft had in mind that someone should Thank You for doing it right, when they put your names in each bag of things, so I can imagine that if you managed to make a mistake now and then someone might take exception to the situation - but in my case you got it right and I am well pleased. I hope each of you are having a good day and that you will continue to have success with your efforts and labours. The designer did a pretty good job as well, but that was known ahead of time, only Christine, Evelyn and Somerlan had a chance to reduce my expectations and you avoided that and for that I am very appreciative of your efforts.

[Elecraft] Transverters
Reflector Members and specifically: Simon Lewis Don Brown Eric Swartz Thank you for the help on the transverters. This evening I removed the AB switch and made up connectors with RCA's coming off of the 60 meter module option and BNC on the other end for the Transverters. but now I have a problem with incoming audio. Yesterday, using the AB switch, the incoming signal volume worked fine and now there is hardly and audible signal and no reading or just barely an S1 bar on incoming signals. So maybe I jumpered something wrong or I used the wrong connection diagram or maybe I did not properly tune the 60 meter upgrade module when I put it in. Can any of you offer some insight into where I might start my troubleshooting on this FYI : I am using the diagram on page 66 of the transverter manual and I used the jumper setting for -20 dBm(.01) to 0 dBm(1 mW) which is listed as the following connections: JP1: 1-2 JP2: 2-3 JP3: 1-2 JP4: 1-2 JP5: 2-3 JP6 2-3 This XV144 is deaf as can be now.. and it was not with the High RF output and an AB switch. So I have missed something somewhere! XV 50 is low audio too. By the way - How do you get those BNC T-connectors to fit back there. I had to use them in the vertical positon and then set the transverters on a book so they did not bend the wires coming out of the bottom of the T-connector when hooked up to the transverters. Are you using a special BNC designed T connector that fits back there?
