Wayne Steury #14993 Hello, Cricket people! Through the comments of several I made some modifications to my Cricket.ï¿½ I changed C9 to 180p and C10 to 470p.ï¿½ Then I paralleled R1 with another 100K making 50K and paralleled R2 with a 1K to make .6K It works with all crystals from KC9ON but lower power.ï¿½ The best was my 3550 crystal that gives me about 400 milliwatts. Maybe these crystals vary. What do others say?ï¿½ Using my old 3.579 I now seem to get 1 watt on my MFJ-971 tuner.ï¿½ I have made severalï¿½ QSOs on 3550.ï¿½ It shows about the same db on reverse beacon. I am sure interested in technical comments. Nothing seems to get hot with my regular CW and K1EL keyer. 73's Wayneï¿½ N9EGTï¿½ Berne, INï¿½ See me on QRZ.com toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 7/17/2017 7:21 AM, gregory parker greg.parker13@...
