Fw: [Elecraft] K2 Tuner?

[Jim Miller]

Don/Leigh

Thanks for the quick replies.

I'll try the K2/KAT2 nekkid for this Thursday's 20m fox hunt unless I can 
adapt one of my ferrite bead coax chokes by then. I normally use a remote 
tuner but it has died again, this time outside the warrantee period. I plan 
to return it to see what they say but I'm not optimistic.

I'm going to try using a T1 as my remote tuner in any case. As a first try 
I'll just connect my feedline from the antenna to a BNC-bindingpost adapter 
to see how it tunes. I can insert a BL2 which I've ordered set at 1:1. I'll 
also add a ferrite bead coax choke for good measure to reduce any common 
mode currents on the coax from the shack to the tuner. I'll probably try the
ferrite bead choke first.
