[Elecraft] T1 tuner kit

2018-09-11 Thread david perry
I recently picked up a kit built T1 tuner which doesnt quite work.  On
power up the yellow led flashes thrice then then stops and thats all we get.

It is not well built so Im going to reflow all joints and carefully check
everything, BUT, I wonder whether anyone else has come across this fault
mode before who could give me a heads up as to its cause.

Re nylon pull loop for KX2

I fitted a simple nylon tie wrap around the wires of my homebrew
replacement battery.  Worked well.  The trick is, innovate!

[Elecraft] KX2 and non Elecraft PA

2017-04-24 Thread david perry
I have a nice MX P50M linear I want to drive with the KX2.  I could hard
switch it but using the KX2 PA switching output would be elegant.  Will it
work though?  Do I use the smaller output or the larger 3.5mm socket output?

[Elecraft] Question re KX2 and KXPA100

2017-02-27 Thread david perry
Hi Folks
Quick question for you.

I have a KX3 (three) and a KX2 (two) and a KXPA100.

The kx3 and pa100 work fine.

However, when I use the kx2 it isnt fine.  I set AUX2 to ON, PA to ON and
all is well UNTIL I go over 10 watts.  When I go above ten watts on the
dial setting on the kx2 the TX light on the PA comes on and of course my Rx
goes deaf.  Wind it back to below 10 watts or below and the relay in the PA
clicks and the Rx works again.

Ive got latest firmware in KX2 and PA100.


What am I missing?

[Elecraft] KX2 real life power

2016-06-17 Thread david perry
Im wondering what KX2 users are finding to be the output power when on
internal battery.  I ask because I am using a friends KX3 at the moment and
whilst on external power it gives full spec, on internals the power drops
to 3 or 4 watts out.  Is the KX2 better than this or is that all there is,
even on the new rig?
