[Elecraft] KX1 Test Part-1 problem ???

That's strange. The QST report showed the Alinco DM330MV as being one of the quietest ones. Mine certainly is very quiet (I have never found anything where I needed to adjust the frequency). I wonder if there is a quality control problem (unusual for a Japanese manufacturer). The Alinc

I also got rid of the Alinco 330 as it was noisy, must be why they give the control to change freqs. The 1223 and the Astron SS-30M are both good supplies from my experience. Bill K9YEQ K2-35 & 5279; KX1-35/3080 ___ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL
