[Elecraft] How Critical is R116's Value?

2007-05-10 Thread Gary McKelvie
Hi to the List, I misidentified R116 and soldered it in the wrong place. I now have R116 with leads far too short to hold in L33 on the underside of the RF board in my K2. I can get locally either a 4.7 or 5.6 M Ohm resistor of the correct type. So would either of these be suitable as a

Re: [Elecraft] How Critical is R116's Value?

2007-05-10 Thread Don Wilhelm
Gary, The value of R116 is not critical, it is used as an 'insulator' and not a resistor - go for any value higher than the original value. For the body to fit inside the center of the toroid it must be physically small. Most any high value 1/8 watt resistor will do a fine job. In fact,

I've never owned an FT-2000, but I can't help but wonder at the relatively high number of used FT-2000 radios offered for sale (eham.net, qth.com) - it sure seems that a significant portion of new owners are having issues with the radio. 73, Barry N1EU

Hi to the List, I must say a big thank you to the you all for the advice particularly over the last week. I have now sorted the problem of R116 by using a 5.6 M Ohm resister. I have also now completed the Stage 2 Alignment. It's very nice to hear signals of all sorts on 40m. Now onto the PA

There is a basic difference in the choice of IF frequencies. The Y2K main receiver has first IF at 69.45MHz, second at 450khz, and last at 30Khz for the DSP. The Elecraft has the first IF at 8.215Mhz and the second at 15Khz for DSP. This choice reveals a lot. There are many more choices

Brian has some good points. Personally, I think the jump to 400-1000 Watts from 100 is so great that you really need to think of a separate amplifier. 100 W is clearly enough for 90% of QSOs (that I make, anyway), and it would be a shame to compromise a good 100 W transceiver package to
