Re: [Elecraft] IF OUT - Same as just sharing the antenna?

2024-03-09 Thread Alan Alan
The K3's IF OUT bandwidth is limited only by the front-end RF filters so it covers an entire amateur band, plus.  That is handy for a panadapter because it is always centered on the VFO A frequency.  The IF center frequency is 8.215 MHz. Alan N1AL On 3/9/2024 11:04 PM, Fred Jensen wrote:

Greetings all, We had an interesting time a few years ago in the UK when PLT (power line telecomms) was a new threat. We built a mains supply to spec complete with street lighting standards and then tested various power line transmission proposals for radiation. Needless to say it radiated,

Hi David, My suggestion is a coaxial trap or possibly a series LC to deck (use a trimmer C). The insertion loss will be minimal. A single trap had little effect on the feed Z as shown on my Tx but ideally a second one about lambda/4 at 145MHz further down the feeder will offset the effect at

Hi all, The UK amateurs voted by a reasonable but no a large majority to drop the code post WRC03. The issue for the administration (then the Radiocommunications Agency - RA) was a defensible licensing need. Historically CW was the only common mode between amateurs and the other users with whom

Hi all, Ken aa7jc said I have not done much testing yet since I don't have anything that draws that much current. I have a couple of drums of mains cable known in the UK as 2.5 TE, the 2 conductors are 2.5 mm sq and earth is about 1.5. The inner end is available so I soldered the two main

[Elecraft] magnetic fields and phase noise

2005-03-20 Thread alan alan
Hi All, Reading the magnetic field and phase noise saga makes me think of earth loops. If moving to another power socket- as in moving to another room cures it. How about using mains isolation transformers so only connection K2-linear really is the coaxial feeder. Or battery power K2. Just a
