Re: [Elecraft] KAT500

Hi, My expectation and this is how it's been explained to me by the author of the KAT500 software is that when the tuner is not powered it will be in bypass mode. This is the way every other auto tuner I am aware of works. AB2TC - Knut goldtr8 wrote After reading the manual that was scanned

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Owner's Manual?

Excellent, that's the mode I will use it in. AB2TC - Knut Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft wrote Manual mode does exactly what you want. Press manual, transmit, and then the tuner will tune. We're printing the new manual right now and it will be up on the web as soon as it is shipping

Hi, So are you suggesting using a choke balun on both ends of the parallel wire feedline? AB2TC - Knut Jim Brown-10 wrote On 9/29/2012 5:40 AM, Barry, Stephen wrote: Does Elecraft have a balun solution for balanced feeders for the KAT500 at 500 watts? See the Choke Cookbook

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 PBT - and K3?

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Remote Version

the SWR is below 2.0 or 1.5 is merely a shortcoming in their tuning algorithms. I am having high hopes for the KAT500. Is anything known on how many bits of L and C resolution is there? AB2TC - Knut Wes Stewart wrote What Don says is true as far as it goes.  The L-network tuner has only one

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Phase Noise / CW Key Clicks

and his IC-756 has strong wideband noise even with key up (I am sure he does nut run full QSK). The key up noise must be produced by his amplifier chain, not the synth. It of course also completely rules out noise from my synthesizer as the cause. AB2TC - Knut Alan Bloom wrote snip Assuming

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Sherwood RX Test Numbers Posted

Hi, Wow, the number 1 spot! That's incredible. Congratulations. I am especially surprised and impressed by the phase noise performance. I had the impression that the synth in the KX3 wasn't that great for phase noise, being a DDS without a cleanup PLL. AB2TC - Knut Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Sherwood RX Test Numbers Posted

Hi, I am always curious about synthesizer technology utilized in new radios. If it's not DDS, then what is is it? AB2TC - Knut Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote That's because Its not a DDS. :-) 73, Eric --- www.elecraft.com snip -- View this message in context: http
