Do I just delete that entry?

Hello to the group !
I'm Rick - KC8AON, in Southern Ohio. Just joined the Elecraft group
because I am thinking of buying a T1 tuner kit to go with my Yaesu
FT-817. I have been reading some of the reviews of the T1 on the web and
most seem to be good reviews except for the enclosure they put
Keep in mind that the *only* advantage of the Buddistick or Pac 12 is
convenience. While convenience can justify their cost, don't be seduced by
the idea that somehow they work better than a simple wire.
Of course those antennas have loading inductors to make them self-resonant
on the bands
Unless you're planning to use your T1 as a wheel chock to keep your car from
rolling downhill, I think you'll find the stock case plenty strong. I'm not
sure exactly what plastic they used for the case, but keep in mind that
plastics can be stronger than many metals. (Most military and civilian
There are no advantages in using commercial antennas out portable. A
fishing pole for support and a lightweight dipole, doublet, end fed wire
or ground plane will work better than most other simple antennas and the
cost is minimal. The K1 built-in ATU has a fairly limited tuning range
and will
The frequency is 3630 KHz plus or minus the QRM.
The start time is 0900 hours local (0800 UTC).

Help:
I agree that random wires and fishing poles are as good as most
antennas in the field but a PAC12, or homebrew version of the same,
needs no other supports and is compact and light. It's an ideal beach
antenna, where salt water helps minimise ground losses, and I've had
plenty of
I recently found what appears to be an excellent battery for the KX1
and K1 in the field:
It's a very compact lithium battery pack rated at 12V 3.5Ah - just a
little smaller than the KX1 footprint.
I have not used it over many re-charge cycles yet, or measured its
performance but it does
Rick,
The question and discussion has mentioned end fed half wave antennas,
and has also mentioned that the half wavelength end fed types have a
high impedance feedpoint that must be dealt with. There is an
alternative that is resonant and also end fed.
If you are looking for something end
Sure, with the advent of GMDSS under the new Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)
treaties, commercial CW (A1A) transmissions are now rare, but they are still
out there. Good practice and often fun stuff.

in for them), weather
Gang,
Let me make myself clear on what it is I expect from the T1 and what my
plans are for it. First, I do not want resonant antennas for each band -
takes too much time to setup and take down when changing bands. The T1
will mainly be used for portable radio adventures which I do not get a
Hi Rick,
The length that I used for 80 - 10 was 88 feet.. 85 - 92 will be workable..
it isn't critical. Then I had window line from the center down to the T1, the
length feedline is 44 or half the antenna length, the T1 was then connected to
the radio by a hand length of coax... and that

Rick Asked: So, what magic wire lengths work well on all bands with the T1 ?
Answer: There are no magic wire lengths. Since you understand feed point
impedance concerns, the point is to choose a wire as close to 1/2
wavelength on the lowest frequency as is convenient and which will still
allow a

Good Evening,
Ah, Oregon weather! Chilly, wet, grey one day - back to 85 and sunny the
next. I had to light a fire this week to warm the house but now I am sitting
in a t-shirt with the windows open and a breeze gliding through. There are
also the hummingbirds which come to look at me.
Okay, so now that I am actually using my KX-1, I need some help. I am
really a newbie when it comes to this stuff.
Can someone please give me an explanation (at a basic level) of how you are
actually supposed to use the filter on the KX-1?
If I am listening to a signal, and then turn the
Has there been any progress on improving the NR algorithm used in the K3?
As it is, it's only helpful perhaps 2% of the time on SSB with the remaining
98% of it remaining off. I've tried adjusting AGC settings, plus fiddling
with the DSP settings and can never seem to find a happy medium.
Burke,
There are two issues:
1. When you set the sidetone frequency in the KX1 menus, you are also
choosing the offset at which you hear received signals.
So if you set it to 600 Hz, you'll be right on frequency with the other
station when the signal you hear is a 600 Hz tone.
You can match
Okay, that is exactly what I was looking for. I might need to revist the
manual and the part about setting the sidetone frequency. I can't remember
what I did.
Thanks!

My setup is as follows:
Main: 13k, 6k, 2.7k, 500Hz
Sub: 13k, 2.7k, 500Hz
I also have the wide-receive module installed on the sub. This way the sub
receiver will have broad coverage while the main is strictly relegated to
the amateur bands. It works quite well as the 13k filter in the sub
