[Elecraft] W1 Wattmeter SWR Bridge
I have need to place a remote 120 watt rf power measuring device out at the antenna site some 450 feet from the shack. I have RS-232 wireless connectivity at the remote location and would like to use the W1 to provide the measurement. Does anyone have experience using the W1 with the GUI software provided by Elecraft? Any ifo would greatly appreciate input from those who are using or have used this device. Thanks 73, John, W1QS __ 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
[Elecraft] W1 Wattmeter/SWR Bridge + KX1
I finished the W1 computing wattmeter, and put it in W8FGU's nifty polycarbonate enclosure. It was an easy build, some tidbits and links can be found at www.foothill.net/~andreaj/Ham45.htm While fooling with the KX1 and BuddiPole on the deck on a balmy evening, I discovered that if I remove the tilt stand on Dave's enclosure [easy, it's fastened with velcro], a double male BNC will couple the wattmeter to the KX1 and the combination lays flat on the table. I can tune the BP with the W1, making it unnecessary to carry the antenna analyzer along on field expeditions. All in all, a nifty little arrangement. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2007 CQP Oct 6-7 - www.cqp.org PS: Enough BNC adapters and I could probably do something similar with my K2 :-) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] W1 Wattmeter/SWR Bridge + KX1
Cool. I'm getting close to finishing my W1 and putting it in a W8FGU enclosure. How do the KX1 power readings compare to the W1 readings? 73!
