[Elecraft] Twinlead feedline to my K1

Fri Jul 19 20:25:01 2002

Try connecting it right across the output of your BNC to binding post adapter!
The KAT1 will probably tune up fine with it.  If not, you may have to go to a
1:1 or 4:1 small toroidal balun to make it tune on all bands.  I have a big
80 meter center-fed Zepp I use with it fed with a 120' run of 450 ohm ladderline.
It will get a bit flaky on 15 meters from time to time.  40-20 always OK.
Gets out just fine!  Don't be afriad to experiment with the K1-KAT1 combo!
