Hi All,
I'm new to this list and Elecraft too - I've recently completed
building a loaded KX1 #731.
After building and aligning the KX1 with zero problems, I connected it
to both my 130+ ft slinky dipole strung-up in the attic of our
single-level home (with RG8X) and also my Cushcraft MA5V
If you have the internal antenna tuner installed in your K2, here is a
different approach to hook up a transverter:
Use ANT 2 for the Transverters IN/OUT and set the maximum power to the
required level in the menu.
If your transverter has split connections for Input/Output, you need

I recently took a trip and did not take my KX1 because I was concerned about
potential problems at the airports. I would like to hear about the
experiences of others who have traveled by plane with ham equipment.

A friend of mine had a K2 on the shelf for over 2 years. I built it
over the Memorial Day weekend. 3 days and 4 evenings. It looks as good
as the 1st one I built that took 2 months.

I've found that using the frequency calibration method in which you switch
between LSB/USB when monitoring the tone (tuning for the point at which
there is the least difference in the WWV tone between LSB and USB) on WWV at

Thanks,

In my case, the guy was clearly only a parking attendant who was told to check

Speaking of zero beating, why not get an AM receiver tuned to WWV and
zero beat the tone from the AM receiver to the SSB receiver? That way
you can get within fractions of 1 Hz and it's a lot easier than watching

I found that I couldn't get the K2 spot on because of the

This IS the N6KR method that I have become so fond of (add an 'l' to the
