Not counting Field Day outings with the local club, my first camping radio excursions were with a Heathkit HW-104 powered from a gel-cell battery about the same size as a car battery. Needless to say, I didn't set up camp too far away from the car! But it was rather nice to have a

Re: [Elecraft] Don't have a 50W dummy load

2015-03-24 Thread Dave KW4M
It's a good idea to check the resistance of any used dummy load, especially one that has some age on it. The resistance of my 30+ year old Heath Cantenna gradually reduced to 42 ohms. This was enough error for the power meter to indicate a potential transmitter problem. W1GA is selling

I am also a single lever paddle user. There must be others who also prefer a single lever paddle over dual lever paddles. It would be nice if a single lever paddle version of the KXPD3 was available. I don't own a KX3, at least yet :), but this might be enough to push me off the fence. Sorry

The project is at that awkward point where more than a few prototypes are desired but likely not enough to enable a reasonably priced production run. Ideally someone with resources beyond mine would want to pick it up at some point if the numbers are there to justify it. ExpressPCB's advice

It does not have to be that expensive. The boards can be purchased using their 4-layer MiniboardPro service. The current cost is $98 plus $9.85 shipping for three identical panels. Each panel contains three MAB boards. So the cost per MAB board would be $11.98. I used a shear to cut out the
