[Elecraft] How to hook up a longwire to a K1

Thu May 2 19:06:00 2002

I assume you have the KAT1 option installed ?  The best connection medium available
is an adapter made by Pomona Electronics, Cat nr. 1296.  It adapts the BNC connector
on the set to two banding posts/banana jacks which is VERY versatile and compact in
the
field.
I have also found that a homemade small "Balun" constructed from a small
3/4" ferrite core using twin "speaker wire" for the bifilar winding  works very
well with high impedance or balanced loads.  I mounted the balun in a small
"project box" from Radio Shack, input/output binding posts mounted on each end
of the box.  See any ARRL Handbook for 4:1 balun winding details.

| I believe I'm on the verge of acquiring a K1, and
