[Elecraft] BL-2 Balun Enclosure

I have just ordered a BL2 balun kit. I assume it is a voltage balun switchable 1:1 to 4:1. I did not see any notation whether it was a current or voltage balun. One of the things I need is an enclosure for the balun. I would be interested in what others have used for enclosures, especially ones

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference

The Ublox GPS units (like the Neo-6 and NEO-7) are not great for this application. Their master oscillators are an oddball frequency (as far as freq standards go, IIRC 48MHz?). That doesn't divide evenly to 10MHz, so there is some jitter component at 10MHz output. Not what you want for a

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference

The Trimble Thunderbolt is locked to the GPS system, which derives it's reference from Cesium standards initially, but I believe now they have Rubidium standards that are locked to a master reference. Someone who knows more about the GPS system can chime in on this. In any case, the T-Bolt 10

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference

A... mann!! Now that I know I can build one fairly easily, I may have to do that instead of getting the Leo Bodnar Low-Jitter, custom low phase noise XTAL version...

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference

Hank, It needs to be 10 MHz and very stable. If it is not right on 10 MHz, it will still lock, but the K3 frequency will be off as much as the reference is different than 10 MHz. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/9/2016 10:49 PM, HankP wrote: As a casual observer of this thread - does the oscillator have

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference

As a casual observer of this thread - does the oscillator have to be precisely 10 mhz to a zillion decimal places OR does it just need to be close to 10 mhz and verry stable ? Years ago hams used to build 10 mhz xtal oscillators/buffers - put them in a thermos bottle - dig a post

Re: [Elecraft] 10 MHz external reference

You can't beat a surplus Trimble Thunderbolt. Everything in one small box, the power supply is available on e-Pay as well as the antenna. Once upon a time they were cheap, like $20 cheap. But the supply is drying up. They are still a bargain at $125 though. I bought a few when they were

Udo & Kevin, Thanks for the reply. I hadn't researched any of the options, I thought the K3EXREF was all I needed. Now that I have a better idea what to look for, I'll find something. I just need to be sure it fits what the requirements are. I'm surprised to find almost all the sources are

Hi Bill, I too use the Pignology PigRemote to control my remote KX3 and ALS-600 and have done soft some time. I can control it from a Windows or Mac laptop or tablet, an iPad and an iPhone form home, in the car, in a restaurant or hotel wherever I have internet access. No computer is required

I have my 2nd receiver tapped and use a Funcube Pro dongle with NAP3 version 5. The main VFO I use Win4K3 with LP-PAN2 and a Steinburg UR22 USB 192Khz sound card. The funcube pro is a less expensive option for taking your IF out and getting your Panadapter working for either your main receiver
