George,
I don't have a manual or a schematic, but I would think that is a regulated
supply - if so, changing the transformer taps will only change the bulk
voltage but should not change the output.
There may (or may not) be a pot in the regulator circuit that would change
the output voltage.

I have both the Palm mini paddle and American Morse
Porta Paddle. I prefer the American Morse paddle.
http://tyrrell.us/amateur/ click on American Morse.
However I think I really would like a single lever
paddle, any one have one they want to sell?

I came into a cheap old Yaesu FP 107E power supply which works fine, except for
somewhat low voltage output. I notice the transformer has several taps, but
I'm afraid to mess with it, since I have no manual.
I would be beholden to anyone who has a manual for this unit, and would be so

Ken,
What happens if you plug a hand key into the KX1? or paddles with the KX1
set to Hand? If it keys properly, then your problem is in the cable or in
the microHam Keyer.
I guess there is also the possibility that you are getting RF feedback which
locks the combination into transmit - try test

Mike,
The most probable cause of Hi Cur is the low pass filter - check the number
of turns on toroids L25 and L26, check the capacitor values in the 40 meter
low pass filter and check the soldering, particularly the toroid leads.

My K2 S/N 5163 goes in to current limit at about 7 watts or so on 40M. I set
the limit to 3.5A, so something is not right. The voltage drops about 1V
from 13.5 to 12.5 as well using the K2 meter. I have a 25 amp PS, and
increase the wire size with no real change. The other bands go in to limit

One possibility is to get the Elecraft paddles for the KX1 and either
mounting them on a base or making a bracket or something that allows
their use with the K1. 73 de Alex NS6Y

If you like, you can use flux remover carefully with Q-Tips right where
the flux is, DON'T douse the whole board in it! 72s de Alex NS6Y

There are cheapie soldering irons made by almost everyone, including
Weller. The minimum Weller model is the WTCPT, the minimum Hakko is
whatever model is in that same price range. 73 de Alex NS6Y

Hi Alexander, thank you.
The antenna is nothing special, just a Carolina windom in amongst the
