[Elecraft] Sending CW from WriteLog

I have my K2 connected to Writelog and can read frequency through Com 4 but I can't send CW from the program via the same port (this is the arrangement I use for my FT1000MP). Is the K2 capable of this function or do I need a different arrangement. As a Mac user for 20- odd years, I'm

[Elecraft] Gazzillion SMT's!

Aside from my Elecraft K2 rig - I acquired a new Icom IC-706MKIIG transceiver. (my K3 gap filler) I opened the top lid, to add filters - and was amazed to see the technology they are pouring into these rigs. Must be hundreds of SMT's and lentil-sized micro variable C's - just packing the 1 or 2

[Elecraft] Changes for KPA-100 Rev. D and the Toroid Guy

I just happened to have received a Rev. D KPA-100 a few days ago (I have not started on it yet). There are new loose schematics in the front of the Rev D manual with instructions to use them instead of the ones already bound in the Rev D manuals - the loose schematics are labeled Rev H,

[Elecraft] BL2 Question Follow Up

Whoops! I should have added this when I was composing last night. I have the KAT1 tuner installed. At the present, my four band module is for 40, 30, 20, 15. I plan on at least operating on 40 20 for sure, and possibly 15 if the SWR isn't too bad. Original message below for reference:

RE: [Elecraft] BL2 Question Follow Up

David, It will work if you can load it - and whether or not you can load it easily is highly dependent on the length of the feedline. The switchable balun will help you obtain a match. I would suggest a flattop antenna cut near resonance at 30 meters and a feedline length that is near a

RE: [Elecraft] BL2 Question

Hi David Yes, the BL2 will do a fine job for you. I use one here with my multiband 40m dipole. Being able to switch between 1:1 and 4:1 ratios is very handy. One band will load best with the 1:1 setting, while another band will load better with the 4:1 setting. Very useful tool. You won't

RE: [Elecraft] BL2 Question

David ... The advice you are getting here is right on - the BL-2 should be a very useful tool in achieving the type of portable antenna you want. A popular length of dipole for working 40 thru 10 is 44 feet (22 ft per side). This can be installed either as a flattop or inverted V depending

[Elecraft] KAT100 problem

About a week ago I was transmitting SSB on 20M when the K2 shut itself down unexpectedly. I turned it back on and found no error message and all seemed well. I now realize that I hear no relay clicks on the KAT100 when changing bands. On 20M I now get a 2:1 SWR, whereas before, I think

Re: [Elecraft] BL2 Question Follow Up

You might also compare your 44' doublet by itself and with a 25' extension on one side, if you have room. That makes it into an OCF, and the impedance swings will be less extreme than a center-fed 40m dipole, particularly on 20m. I had a 44' doublet up and found improved performance. The

[Elecraft] Re: Odd condition on 20 meters w/k2100/kat100

I have what seems to me to be a strange condition with my k2100 and kat100. I have an Antenna on ANT1 and nothing on ANT2 on the KAT100. On 20 meters only, receiving phone USB, say 14300, if I switch from Antenna 1 to Antenna 2, there is no discernable difference in sensitivity or volume.

RE: [Elecraft] KAT100 problem

John, I had something similar happen to me a couple of days ago. I did not experience the shut down you noted, but I did see the power setting flash on the display and then after that when I hit the tune button it would not self terminate (also did not hear the relays kick on the KAT100). I did

Re: [Elecraft] BL2 Question Follow Up

Hi David Don't get the cart in front of the horse or sell the KAT1 short. You may not need a balun! Build your antenna first and see if the KAT1 has any problems on any of the bands. If so, try varying the length of the antenna or feed-line in small increments until you find a combination

Don Thanks for the speedy reply. The manual is Rev C April 2006. It is on page 25 and is the second step on the right hand column. ### Skip this step if you are aligning an XV432. On an XV50, XV144 or XV222, verify that the tuning slugs have been removed from the following inductors. If not,
