[Elecraft] new mini-modules: applications

[wayne burdick]

To answer some of your questions:

  - Our new mini-modules, like the others, are intended as low-cost, 
easy-to-build station accessories for experimenters. Any of them can be 
built into a case or used with the supplied rubber feet.

  - The AT1 step attenuator provides attenuation of up to 41 dB. Thanks 
to careful PCB layout, leakage around it will not be an issue for most 
bench-test applications, especially at HF. It can also handle up to 2 
watts -- more than most attenuators -- useful for QRP transmitter 
testing. I've found the small size of the AT1 to be very convenient 
during my own lab work.

  - We've had many requests for a traditional analog audio filter that 
would work with any rig, especially those with simple receivers that 
have little filtering of their own. The WM1 is ideal for this.

  - The WM1 wattmeter provides fast-response, high-visibility forward 
power and SWR bargraphs, which some operators prefer to analog meters 
or digital-readout wattmeters. It also has some unusual features for 
its price class, including autoranging and computer I/O.

I'll be happy to answer any other questions about the application or 
technical details of these new mini-modules. Feel free to post your 
questions or e-mail me directly.
