[Elecraft] Muting the K2

2023-01-19 Thread Ray Spreadbury via Elecraft
I am thinking of building a low power QRP valve transmitter (e.g. 1 or perhaps 2 6V6's/6L6's) for use in the G-QRP club valve activation weekends - output 5 to 10W. Many of such circuits are using a crystal oscillator, but I plan to build a Nano digital VFO in place of the crystal to have more fr

Thanks Fred for the suggestion of using a Dow-Key relay, but they seem to be unavailable in UK/Europe except on Ebay secondhand for $120 or more & those are mostly 24V rather than 12V. Are there any alternatives Ray G3XLG __ Elecraft m

There is a Dow-Key coax relay that does that automatically ... a pin grounds the inactive terminal.  I would think your scheme would work OK. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County Ray Spreadbury via Elecraft wrote on 1/19/2023 8:43 AM: I am thinking of building a low power QR

Ray, For what it's worth, I've been running a homebrew solid-state QSK CW transmitter for the past 4 years. My T/R relay is an AXICOM V23105A5303A201. It is a dual SPDT relay where each SPDT section is tied in parallel for greater power handling capability. The receiver is connected to the ant

Hi, Bob- I don't know if this applies to your situation, or if it is the best available scheme really, but I use my K2 for RX when I am operating with my Johnson Ranger TX. The best way I have found to do this is to key both in parallel, the K2 in TEST mode so that it mutes RX in synch with m
