[Elecraft] AH-4 Tuner
Howdy! I was hoping there might be an Icom AH-4 Antenna Tuner expert out there who maybe knows a good way to remote the tuner with a non-Icom rig, such as a K2. (If you are familiar with the AH-4, it has a 4-conductor control wire system that integrates it nicely with most newer Icom rigs, and works well with end-fed antennas.) I've had my AH-4 around for awhile, mainly for a field setup I've been using (one of those newer Icom rigs), but I now have improved my home station's random wire antenna, and I'd like to try out the AH-4 on it, with several other non-Icom rigs, including the K2. Has someone done this, or can someone think of a way to do it? 73, Phil, WA7URV ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] AH-4 Tuner
Hi Tom, the solution is even easier than that. All you need to do is provide 12v to the AH4 (red wire) and short the control wire (white) to ground. The green wire provides indication that Tuning is in progress and the Black wire is ground. That's it. Seems to work very well for me. I have a gif of the schematic from 5B4AEZ which I got off the internet if anyone is interested.

E.g one value for each. I think it should be possible if you had an interface that recognice K2 band and set that voltage output to the tuner. I think I saw the schematics in ARRL handbook some years ago. (or was it a designe to decode value into auto antennaswitch?) And you need tune button. Also I think this could be done manually , but easy to forget to switch bands. Bottom line...The tuner needs to know witch band it is tuning. Someone out there may have the values or you could meassure your own icom rig to find right value to right band and design a circuit. But look through ARRL handbook. If you solve this , let us know.

[Elecraft] Taking the Plunge
After a lot of consideration and a good bit of encouragement from several members of this group, I have ordered a K2 with essentially all options except for the 100W module. I had recently purchased a pre-built example of each Elecraft rig (KX1, K1, K2) and after looking them over closely decided I have good enough eyesight to tackle the job myself. I picked up a new magnifier hood and that seems to do the trick. So I'll be starting the kit in a month or so after I get some other matters taken care of, and really look forward to building something I can truly call my own. The folks at Elecraft plus the great folks here make a support system second to none. In the meantime, I'll be revving up my prebuilt K2 (#1696) to current specs. One last thing... we all like to make jokes about the XYL and how they carry on about our interest in these noisy boxes we like to spend hours hovering over. I have to say that I'm very fortunate in having a YL that encourages me in this and told me to quit wondering if I could do it, but to just get a K2 and build it!

Re: [Elecraft] ECN net this Sunay VS Hurricane Frances
It sounded like a polite request to me...I think the FCC allows polite requests on all bands except 75 meters ;-).

RE: [Elecraft] ECN net this Sunay VS Hurricane Frances
NREN has no designated frequencies beyond how the ECN has a designated frequency. No FCC or ARRL announcement about 14,050 has been made declaring this an emergency communications frequency that should not be used for normal operations. NREN is a fairly new CW-only alternative to the common SSB and VHF emergency nets. Here's what the ARRL had to say in their announcement: ...(NREN)Net members have been asked to monitor 14,050 kHz and 7050 kHz for health-and-welfare, emergency traffic and hurricane information throughout the weekend... Actually NREN members very often monitor those frequencies. That's where members call if they have traffic for any reason outside of regular net schedules. The announcement is merely a heads up that there's a better-than-normal chance that someone will have some heath and welfare messages to handle at odd times. I think it's a great program. It makes use of the fact that a low-powered CW station working on emergency power can set up and get on the air in the middle of a disaster area to send traffic across the country more efficiently than the complex repeater-based VHF nets or even most SSB installations. Of course, it takes greater operator skill than talking on a mic, but the advantages are significant if the operator is available. They have a web site with more info at http://tinyurl.com/7x5m2. So, it's a good idea to be courteous and avoid both 14,050 and 7,050 but don't be surprised if you hear nothing but routine QSO's there.

[Elecraft] Elecraft Net Report for 20 and 40 meters for Sept 5th, 2004
Good Evening, Both 20 and 40 meters were good tonight. Signals were a little weaker on 40 but both of them were easily worked. Tom helped me grab a few weaker ones. The most interesting catch was from Sarasota, Florida. Looking at the weather map at 2400z you'll find they had a bit of a lull then. The eye of tropical storm Frances was passing over. I did not get all of his information since he was sending faster than I could copy and Tom had run off on an errand but I am pretty sure I heard KX1. I did not want to ask him for a repeat because he had other things to worry about. I'll get fill later but this will make an interesting story for Wayne's KX1 files :) We also had a check in on 40 meters from a fellow with a Sierra rig. I'll need a ruling from Wayne on whether we get SNs from them or should I just label it non-Elecraft? Hmmm... I'd think Wayne would want to keep one of his childen as part of the group. On to both lists: = 20 meters on 14049 kHz. N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008 W0NTA - Dick - CO - K2 - 1787 (you rig collector!) VE1RGB - Gary - NS - K2 - 2519 AH6RE - Curt - HI - K1 - 464 K2HYD - Ray - VI - KX1 - 608 W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031 N2YC - John - NY - KX1 - 336 KD6MES - Tom - CA - non-Elecraft W0RW - Paul - CO - KX1 - 292 NC1C - Dave - MA - K2 - 3499 WU3L - Frank - PA - non-Elecraft W4BM - Bert - FL - KX1? Copy was not easy. From Sarasota, FL within the eye of Frances = 40 meters on 7045.5 kHz N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008 W6KY - Art - CA - K1 - 141 W4IA - Ron - GA - KX1 - 752 W8ZT - Anthony - K2 - 0652 W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031 N9IV - Russ - IN - KX1 - 742 NE5DL - Dave - TX - K2 - 2887 N2YC - John - NY - KX1 - 336 AB2SI - Carl - NY - K2 - 4273 AA2YV - Bill - NY - non-Elecraft but it is a Sierra :) K4YKI - Norm - KY - K1 - 760 WA7BOC - Roger - WA - K2 - 755 As always the errors in this list are mine. Please send me any fills or corrections and I will add them to the database and post them to the Reflector. Thank you all very much for a lot of fun. It just gets better. We passed the 800 QNI milestone tonight. We are at 820 QNI from 220 folks. The serial number list should pass 200 soon. Some folks really enjoy racking up their numbers too. There are 5 folks with over 30 QNI, and 15 with over 15 check ins. Seems like something is going right. It can't be me it must be the Elecraft allure :) Take care and have a safe holiday tomorrow. I am off to see some Shakespeare in the Park so I can get some culture :) 73, Kevin.
