[Elecraft] W2 control wire length?

2023-03-20 Thread K 5 R H D Randy Diddel
Hi,

I have a W2 with an HF coupler and I am entertaining the idea of putting it
out in a waterproof container just before the feed-point of my antenna
(non-resonant vertical). The run is about 75’. Does anyone know if there is
a limit on the cable length? If so, what is it?

Thanks and 73.

[Elecraft] Strange SWR and W2 wattmeter issue

2022-12-31 Thread K 5 R H D Randy Diddel
Good evening OM’s

Here is a link to a YouTube video that shows you what is happening. This is
an issue need I am trying to fix. A pure CW carrier and a transmission
using FT8 on 2M SSB show GREAT SWR with my TS2000, TE Systems 200W brick,
and M2 2 meter 7 element Yagi. Using two different SWR meters (MFJ 259b and
an FA-VA5) shows a nearly perfect 1.1:1 SWR as well. I am stumped and hope
one of you might have an idea for me.

Something about my voice-modulated signal is really goofy.
