Wayne, N6KR, is the best and is truly such a nice guy. Ham Radio is fortunate enough to have him and Elecraft doing their thing. 73, George K2WO

For sure, we loved having him on the show!

I would love to see a vehicle kit for the KH1. Looks like it is an awesome radio. Also love that it is made in America. Keep up the great work.

Wayne's comment about a future terminal connector accessory for the whip mounting jack inspired me to make a crude EZNEC model of the KH1 with 4' whip and 13' counterpoise. For this configuration, the value of loading coil inductance at 14mHz is about 10uH. With the counterpoise length and loading coil kept constant, I found that about 10' of vertical wire will resonant at 10.1mHz, and about 30' at 7.1mHz. Of course, a vertical 30' wire may not be practical, but the far end could be attached to a 20' sotabeams pole or tree, at about a 45 degree angle. If you double the counterpoise length to 26' and keep the loading coil constant, then the antenna wire length shrinks to about 16' for resonance on 7.1mHz.

That's pretty interesting stuff, thanks for doing the math!

WOW!! I had no idea that story connected to Norcal and Wilderness radios! I have a couple of their kits and love them! Especially that watt meter. What I'd like is a new kit especially made for the worthless heathkit HW-7. Imagine something fitted or maxed out for that large box but using mostly the OEM appearance.

Wayne gave a great presentation at Pacificon, and hanging out with you, Chuck, was a real pleasure. Team replay for the win.

Thanks Alan!

That RF near field mode on the KX2 was going off last weekend at the park with the club when the next guy was using FT8 @100w. I heard the audio lower and saw “RF” come on the screen and said “WOW”, that’s neat.

Yeah, it was great having Wayne on!

When Wayne mentioned the K2 as a kit and said that you could "wind your own toe-roids" , Ape's eyes lit up! 😁 Great interview! 73 - KF6IF

Haha, get in line...

my question is about the 'scratchpad' memory... just one, or is there one for each band?

I don't know for sure but it sounds like it is just one.

Not my kind of op but I enjoyed the interview and learning about the radio.
