I had a similar problem with one of my K3's (#4576) starting last November. Seemingly at random, output power dropped to around 35 watts. At low power settings (less than 12 watts) power was limited to 3.5 watts. Sometimes normal power output would be restored in a couple of hours, other times

Clint, The ones I have used are made by Multicomp. I have only used the one for RG213. The center pin is soldered. Very useful when on top of a tower. They can be found here: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/MULTICOMP-MC17-01B-5-/27-7005 73 Pete - N8TR At 02:52 PM 11/4/2013, Clint

My experience is the same as Tim's. I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI which is 96Khz card and I get a total bandwidth of 96Khz. With my 192Khz Infrasonic Quartet PCI I get a total of 192 Khz. I use the LP-PAN with NaP3. I assumed this satisfied Nyquist since both the I and Q channels were

I use a Treadlite switch model t-51-S made by the Linemaster Switch Corp. I have several that I have found at Flea markets and Ham Fests. However, for the reasons described below, I do not like foot switches so I use them as knee switches. I mount them vertically beneath my operating desks.

I believe the Mouser description is incorrect. The Amphenol UHF catalog at: http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/CatalogPages/UHF.pdf clearly shows the 83-1SP as having silver body plating while the plating on the 83-1SP-1050 is nickel. That said, I have never had any trouble soldering to the
