2005-09-30 Thread thom2
I'm giving some thought to building the KPA100 in the separate enclosure. Can someone give me an idea on how long it would take to build? I realize that this is very subjective, but I'd like to get a general idea, say relative to building a basic K2. Thanks Tom WB2QDG K2 1103 --

Jess, The -24 volts on U4 pin 5 is within the range permitted by the RS232 standard and should be OK. The RS232 signalling voltages are stated as: "Signal State Voltage Assignments - Voltages of -3v to -25v with respect to signal ground (pin 7) are considered logic '1' (the marking condition), w

Hi Steve, Yes, I've checked and there is a home game at UTKnoxville on Saturday. MidDay and postgame traffic through KTown will be slow heading in on I-40. This coupled with bridge and road construction bottlenecks should be considered when travelling. I'm heading to Blaine tonight, and there won'

2005-09-30 Thread W3FPR - Don Wilhelm
Craig, Build the KPA100 first (you can use it immediately with a dummy load or a resonant antenna or any pre-tuned antenna). If you build the KAT100 first, you will not be able to test it nor align the wattmeter until you complete the KPA100 anyway, so it will just sit there waiting. It should o
