[Elecraft] Option building question

2006-09-18 Thread Michael Bower N4NMR
I currently have the bare bones KX1. I also have but have not built/installed the 3080 kit. I'm planning on getting/building/installing the ATU. Question: Does it matter what order these are done? Should one be done before the other? Michael N4NMR -- No virus found in this outgoing

Wow, from what I (briefly) saw at that link, why would anyone want to use LiPos? Yes, they may provide some advantages but the disadvantages/risks would certainly (in my mind) overwhelm the advantages. Just my .02. Michael N4NMR -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jess, you should also look at the PAC-12 from Pacific Antennas. Packs smaller than the other two (Buddipole and MP-1). And does very nicely on all bands. Michael N4NMR -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mc Sent: Saturday, October

That's certainly going to hurt eHam's chances of getting more articles from people. I didn't read the article but if you start applying censurship, you lose writers very quickly. And supporters, I would imagine. Now if his advertisers forced him to remove the article, that is just as bad.
