[Elecraft] OT: KPA500 for sale
I'm selling my KPA500 to fund other ventures. It was purchased in 2014 factory assembled. I use it at 400W for occasional rag chewing and am not a contest operator. It works great.

[Elecraft] AX1 Loaded Whip Antenna
I ran some comparison tests on 20M with the AX1 against my Buddi Stick vertical when I first got it. I found the best performance was with the AX1 on a table top tripod on a picnic table with 2 resonant radials. The AX1 was about 1 S-unit down compared to the bigger antenna over a 22 mile ocean path. During these times of low critical frequency short paths are dead and the lower radiation angle of the vertical is often better than a low dipole/Inv-V. I find the AX1 most convenient for quick deployments.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 faulting on high VSWR on power rise
I have found that a 4:1 balun is seldom the proper choice for a ladder line interface. I measure the impedance at the interface and then select the balun type (usually a 1:1). The biggest problem I've had is the 4:1 transforming the impedance too low for the tuner. This can result in over stress on the components as the power is increased. If I don't have an easy to match ladder line interface I add or subtract line length until I get one. 73 Bill, W6QR __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
