RE: [Elecraft] kpa100 with kat100-2

Dave, While full instructions are not available from Elecraft, it is a simple matter to put the KPA100 and the KAT100 into an EC2 enclosure. The KAT100-2 has all the 'hooks' required to plug the KPA100 into the KAT100 board. There are no mods required to mount the current KPA100 externally - the

Re: [Elecraft] KAT2

There are also some pins quite visible but right next to plate-through holes (vias) and if you don't look with a loupe you might think the coil is soldered...not that I know from experience, hihi. 73, Leigh/WA5ZNU ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Ele

RE: [Elecraft] KAT2

RC, Re-do the power and SWR calibration, and then try it into a 50 ohm dummy load. Tell us what you find. I know that is not an answer to your total problem, but there has to be a starting point, so verify that calibration first and we can go from there. In case you cannot achieve a good calibra

[Elecraft] KAT2

Hi gang Having just finished building a KAT2 for K2 #5804 and I'm at the point of doing the checkout and calibration prior buttoning it up. Every thing checked okay until I got to POWER calibration R1 & R2 when I go to TUNE my display reads " 7.3F 6.8r" I also get a HI CUR displayed when first a

Re: [Elecraft] SSB Overshoot

Yes indeed. One should not depend on ALC to set output power. Jack Don Wilhelm wrote: Jack, Those displays look quite similar to what I would have expected - overshoot will occur if the audio is increased sufficiently to activate the ALC. The displays do point out the necessity of not drivin

RE: [Elecraft] SSB Overshoot

Jack, Those displays look quite similar to what I would have expected - overshoot will occur if the audio is increased sufficiently to activate the ALC. The displays do point out the necessity of not driving the K2 into ALC if overshoot is to be avoided - for digital modes, that means to increase

[Elecraft] SSB Overshoot

I've made a quick series of measurements at 7 MHz, 50 watts output and varying audio drive levels and posted the result in a PDF file that may be viewed at http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/Documents/SSB%20Burst%20Analysis%20Elecraft%20K2.pdf The most recent activities at Clifton Laboratories

[Elecraft] Re: Unstable AGC

This is a follow up to my prior posting about the AGC cutting power back to less than a watt in continuous modes like PSK31. Thanks, folks, for the advice several of you sent. No, I don't believe it's RF--for one thing, I rather doubt a few watts can louse up the system, when 100 watts on

Re: [Elecraft] portable antenna

What you describe is an effective, easily transported antenna. You can't get much simpler than this. de Joe, aa4nn All in all, I still prefer the twinlead-center-fed 40m inverted vee, BL1 balun (4 to 1), and the Jackite 28' pole for portable operation. 72, John W2XS __

Not because it was freeware, but because it worked with my old computer in my shack (Win98SE and an old SB AWE64 card). It appears version 14 does not. Anyone have one (an old install)? Bill W1PA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.
