[Lowfer] Beacon "IO" QSY to 185299.2

Craig , tell us more about your antenna and loading coil . Wire size and type , coil diameter , number of turns , where it is tapped etc .

If you haven't visited Lyle's old pages , there is a lot of good information on them .

Thanks to Eric for preserving them .

You could always add a K0LR final stage and if your antenna is less than 50 ohms he even has a chart in one of the articles for winding it for lower resistance antennas .

I find his "Clamp-On-RF Current Probe" to be virtually a necessity , to see what differences you make with any change .

Like Jay said , a variable voltage supply for the finals is also a must . What kind of voltage and current do you show ? I am not familiar with that particular transmitters output stage , I have an older model of it . If you could sketch out the final section with transistor and parts values used , that could help also . Can't have too much information , so this fine group can help you get a successful beacon on the air .

I think it is fine to keep it on list . There are people here with years of experience and a great wealth of knowledge .

If you have pictures and would like to post them and they are larger than the list will accept , please feel free to post them on the Yahoo part15 Group . (There is no space between the part and 15 ).

Many of us are on that list too , along with more people that are a wealth of information and parts . It doesn't compete with this list , just tries to compliment it , by posting pictures and helping newbie's .

Always glad to help if I can .
