3dB gain reference to what?
Without a reference decibel values are meaningless. With voltage, 3db gain
is a value greater by one half and is only applicable if the impedances remain
the same across the item of equipment you are measuring. When referred to
power, 3dB gain is greater by x 2
Joe, Todd, Group,
It's time for me to get on my soap box again.
The BL1 is a great balun, I haven't seen a better one on the market so the
answer is not to find a better one, you can't. It should take 100 watts
and not overheat, even when running into a SWR of 10:1, provided its load
Woohoo!!! Long Island, NY to Dijon, France...with 3 Watts! I was very excited
to work HI with 5 Watts some mos. back, and glad to feel likewise again last
night. I didn't think I'd be able to be heard through the other stations
calling Paul, F9KP.
There's something I feel is worth mentioning.
Hi
I have completed construction of an XV50, in fact I finished
it a while ago, and it all seems ok except for one thing. The
Tx power LED display only lights one at a time, even though I
have GRPH=BAR and OPT=PERF selected on the K2. It does the
same if GRPH=DOT is selected, too.
Is this
Last week I was at my friendly RS getting a new alarm clock. Lost my old
one.
They had a special sale on the RS version of an Atomic portable alarm clock.
Only $20. And it is a nice size for packing or for on the desk. Normally
$30, I think. Nice clock with super lighting. Number is 63-964.
I picked up a small bedside LCD atomic alarm clock with Indigo style lighting
about 2 years ago at WalMart for about $10-15. It is silver with black and runs
off a single AA battery. I am able to adjust it for UTC, but I must readjust it
with each time change. I think it was made by Oregon

Only drawback is that you can't set it for UTC.
I wish there was a K2 button you could push to see what filter is active. As
it is, any filter button you push advances to the next filter so you are left
with the knowledge of the filter you had been using, so you push the button
three more times to get back to where you were when you wanted
