I'm going to have to clarify what I said: I would not use the vinegar variety
for caulking, ie in large quantities where there are electrical parts in an
enclosed space. I was talking about in free air. I have used Dow Corning
3140 for that.
Sorry for misleading anyone, but, as always, glad
I have used the MFJ model (1786 ?) which covers 10 to 30 MHZ.
I have also used various horizontal wire loops in bedrooms currently have a
40M full size version
(more-or-less) following the edges of my loft - about 33 ft AGL. This one is a
good general-purpose qwiet receive antenna for 80

You can build or buy and the antenna has a good track
record with low banders. I see there was another post
about using heliax instead of coax. From a mechanical
perspective (and if you have access to some heliax) I
would definitely go with it.
Ok Lads,
I too have scoured the Elecraft web site for the changes from Rev C
(which I'm building now after a long delay after purchasing) and Rev
D (the alleged current version) and I cannot find any reference to
the changes.
Perhaps someone at Elecraft could educate us as to the

Hi Fred
I have a MFJ-1788 loop. I have wonderful results with it but
if the temperature is changing such as the sun shining on it then
it drifts
EH anyone :-)

I have a new, unbuilt KXB30 option for the KX1.
If interested, make me an offer.
It is surplus to my needs as I have installed KXB3080 option instead.

I have this loop - it's the 40M-15M version with the
tuning box. I have not had good luck with this very
expensive ($450) antenna.
Its high Q makes tuning a challenge. Once you move
just couple kHz either way, the SWR is very bad and it
needs retuning. It is hard to tune if there is
anything
I just ordered the 40 -15 meter loop (it will be here on the 20th). The
reviews looked surprisingly good (of course, if it looks too good to be
true, it probably is). I've tried various indoor antennas (such as the
Buddipole), but I have +5 over 9 noise inside. I've tried whips out the
Folks,
I am interested in building the XV144 transverter. However, I do
not want to tie up the K2 as the IF. Instead, I have a Uniden HR-2600
(unmodified) lying around that I'd like to use for the IF/tuner/etc.
Has anyone out there used the 2600 or 2510 as the IF for the XV144?
Hi Cathy,
If you are only using XV144 for RX mode, you don't have to do any
modification. Even you use XV144 for any non K2 transceiver, the
connection is also simple. The XV144 operation manual listed out all the
connection possibilities.
My K2 does not have any of the KIO2 or K60XV, the
Hi Cathy,
Just to further supplement my previous email. The overall performance in
144 Mhz will quite depend on the performance of your IF rig i.e. HR2600.
In other words, it is impractical to think that XV144 will give you
exceptional performance in 144 Mhx if your IF rig is not a good
Kathy,
Yes, I have tried the Elecraft transverters with the Uniden 2600 - it has
been a while, in fact during the transverter Field Test. I did not build
this for myself, but I was building it for a client. A couple changes in
the transverter keying were made as a result of testing with the
I'm not sure what you mean by tie up the K2 as the IF. It only ties up
the K2 to the extent that you can't be operating on the HF bands at the same
moment. Using the K60XV interface, the transverters simply look like more
bands on the K2. You press the band switch to select the band you want. If
