[Elecraft] KAT2 ANT2

Fri Feb 22 06:52:00 2002

Hi, Tim,

I think it's safe to say that the K2 can handle such a mistake (i.e.,
loading into nothing) and I'm proof of that.  I occasionally hit the button
and select ANT2 when what I want to do is to tune it on ANT1.  Of course,
the sudden drop of background noise will alert me to that fact, but not
before I try to tune up nothing.  It's a miniscule problem at best, though I
would expect to see Elecraft try to ameliorate the problem by allowing the
user to disable ANT2 in a future firmware update now that you've asked.

Take care!

73,

Joe, W2RBA
