Making and working with a Phased array is also on my to-do list but I plan on

I built the KAT100 in the EC2 cabinet a couple of years ago and would

Does anyone know what I need to buy/do to accomplish this?
Neal,
I may be oversimplifying your request,
The EC1 enclosure is the same size as the K1. The KAT100 will not fit
in it. What Neal wants (I believe) is the enclosure that the
transverters and the KAT100 come in. I have found no information on
this. Forgive me if it is available.

computer finally died. With my older system I had an imbedded serial port on
the mother board. I use only cables that are wired
I have a couple of Serial Port to USB adapter cables that came with various

Does anyone know if the cables interfaces are unique for certain devices or is
it simply a matter of using the correct USB driver?

I have an KX1 with the ATU and 30m Band module. I set up my Buddipole with
three taps on each coil for each band. Changing bands is as simple as leaning
the Buddipole over and changing the shorting wire from one tap to the next and
switching bands on the KX1. I love the combination because I

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have played with it some more before
posting the question. I am just a little reluctant to select an option until I
understand what will happen. Then again I would expect a menu selection that
