2011-05-19 Thread Jim F.
With all the hubub about the new rig I hope someone reads this :-)   I would like to operate 15m but my 4 band K1 is wired for 17m.   Should I build another 4 band module or is there a better or simpler way  ?   72 and Thanks,   Jim / W1FMR     __

[Elecraft] K1 - When antenna tuning, output power may drop - and stay down.

2010-09-09 Thread Jim F.
  After changing bands and while adjusting the antenna tuner for a low SWR the K1 transmit power level may drop to a watt or so.   But the power does not come back after the adjustment is complete.   Then if the K1 is turned off, then back on, the output comes back up to the original value.   Is t

[Elecraft] K1 Offset problem solved - Thanks KK5F !

2004-07-15 Thread Jim F.
Hi Mike KK5F, Yes, I copied your message from the K1 archives yesterday, and used it to further my understanding of how the offset works. I re-calibrated the VFO frequencies, re-set C13, all at midnight last night and as I was adjusting my antenna tuner on 20m a station from Seattle was ca

[Elecraft] New K1 - 4 bander with transmit offset problem

2004-07-14 Thread Jim F.
Nice to be on the list.. .. My K1 - 4 bander has a transmit offset problem(Or I do !) On transmit the frequency should increase by about +700 Hz. It decreases about -100Hz on 20m, to about -900Hz on 17m. Each band is different. The RIT/XIT function is off, and the knob does not change
