Re: [Elecraft] AX1 Disappointing Performance

Understood about the losses, even though I’m only running 25 feet of it - trying to keep my POTA “bag” fairly light. My main concern was how far away from the desired operating frequencies the AX1 turns out to be. Not even close to the “specs” +- 200 KHz. I still have some experimenting to do b

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Issue

No - it does not spontaneously go into transmit more. The problem is that on the non-Elecraft radio, placing the KPA into transmit mode (with a button push on the KPA) drops the non-Elecraft radio’s receive signal tremendously. See Jack’s explanation in an earlier post on what the K3 is doing to
