[Elecraft] 135ft flat-top with K2, KAT2, BL2, and 450 ohm feedline
About link-coupled tuners, I'd like to point to Emtech's ZM-2 ATU: http://emtech.steadynet.com/zm2.shtml Still not managed to give the front plate color same as K2. It is stuck over the K2 with 2 pieces of double sided (reworkable)tape. I no longer use the K2 internal ATU. Nor a balun. QRP power is too precious to be wasted in heat. I'm using a 2*20m inverted Vee, top at 25m height, with 300 Ohms slotted ribbon line. Easy match on all bands, except 160m (that would be OT). 72 to the gang, -- ___ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Wire Antennas and feedline for the KX1
I do the same as Martin writes. Modeling transmission lines with Eznec is difficult for me... You could also use TLA by N6BV. 72, -- ___ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Re: Pelican case for just the K2
Hi Charlie, I have a Pelican 1400 for my K2. Just enough room left for a mini-paddle and some connectors. No need to put it sideways. Just put the rig over the foam, and cut. Connectors on the right side, buttons on the left, or vice-versa. BTW, I install it upside down : easier to pull the rig out with the tilt stand as a handle. My KX-1 (complete station) fits snugly inside a Peli 1060.

[Elecraft] Re: Open Wire Feed Line Arrestor
I had used a "loop skywire" for 80 and up. The solution to drain static (and more) was found in RadCom's Technical topics many years ago : I permanently grounded the point opposite to the feed one, where there is 0 volt. No change for the link coupler. Modelling with Eznec confirmed that the ground wire radiation is very low. BTW it led to another use : For top band DX, the open wire line was shorted and the antenna worked as a "top loaded-top fed" vertical. Eznec showed that the antenna worked as well as a far higher vertical. 72 to all and season's greetings de F5LCI 100% CW QRP -- ___ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 8 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K2 : antenna data(ANT1/2)per VFO(A/B)
Hi all, Would there be any interest to store antenna data(ANT1/2)per VFO(A/B), allowing to work split with different RX and TX antennas ? Sometimes it can help, for instance when propagation conditions are not "reciprocal". I already have the separate rx ant (with the ATU), but it is dedicated to top band. Could this be easily implemented in an hypothetic firmware upgrade (like the cross-mode VFOs) ? K2 #4430 is a joy, except for backpacking, and PeliCase is heavy. I'm waiting for his little brother (KX-1), but the UPS tracking log is full of various delays.
