Folks:
It appears that my error in cutting the backlights for the K1 LED was NOT
limited to a single LED backlight... I apparently mis-measured all of them,
making each about 0.15" too long.
Though the linger backlight CAN be made to fit and work as-is, it's really
a bit too long to fit easi

Good Evening,
Heating season started today. Fifty-one degrees inside the house was
just a bit too cool for both of us. Plus the rainy season seems to have
started early. At least the little airshow in Hillsboro was fun. The

Sure, a 1:1 choke balun can be made with twinlead as well as coax feedline.

I am trying to install my newly built KAT2 into my newly built K2 ...
but have hit a wall. When bringing up the ATU ... L0,L1, L2, ... menu
functions, I am supposed to hear relays click ... but I do not (and my
hearing ain't bad!). I have checked all of the voltages in the
troubleshooting section
I asked him whether or not he used a balun, and he said no,
he just fed it directly into the radio. I suppose his
antenna could be fairly well-balanced or that the KX1 is
able to tolerate a fair amount of imbalance.
Hi Dan,
I always feed my KX1/K2 direct with a 66' doublet without a balun,

How can you measure that a balun is being effective?

That's a very good question. BTW, I'm the guy Dan worked the other night

Hi
That depends on the size battery you are going to charge. The VW panels were
designed to trickle charge a car battery and will output up to about 170 ma.
This current is low enough that it will not overcharge a 30 to 100 amp hour
battery even if left on the battery for an extended time. The

WHEN: Sunday 25th September 2005 - 10am EST to 5pm

FREQUENCIES: HF SSB - 3.815MHz, 7.260MHz, 14.260MHz
HF CW - 7.
Dan,
Here's another idea. Use a short length of coax like 1' or less of RG-58
or better RG-174, and put some ferrite beads around the coax to make a 1:1
balun. On the antenna side it is balanced, so solder this to the ladder
line. I hope you are at least using the small 300 ohm ladder lin
