5 channels = 5 xtals?, maybe a push button to "scroll" through the channels with a simple LED indicator to report which channel it's set to? Wayne - KC0PMH -- http://www.qsl.net/kc0pmh/ Under

OK, Part 97 states specifically that the CW carrier must be set to the exact frequency. So, to me, that would imply that a well designed CW transmitter could be used on 60 meters. I'd think that

Hi Don, That's one way it could be done. Once upon a time some people like Collins did it that way. If it isn't adjusted just exactly so you transmit spurious crap. Applying Murphy's law... Some

So you would need to modulate a SSB TX with audio tone to simulate CW making sure the TX was on the correct channel freq. Seems hard way to make a simple CW TX for 60 meters. Dr. Don HC4/W4BWS

Hi Jim... ....Chuck, The TX doesn't have to have SSB capability at all but does have to have the SSB or CW carrier on a specific frequency +/- the mandated tolerances (not too difficult). Some hams

Chuck - not to start a flame war, and with all due respect. CW is acceptable on 60 meters, and there is no restriction that would prohibit a CW only transceiver. "Effective March 5, 2012 the FCC

Doesn't all of that mean your CW signal must be dead on the center channel frequency? I.E., is your transmitter doesn't have an off-set, set it on the center frequency...if your transmitter has an

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I will enjoy mine! Jeremy, NQ0M

I haven't posted anything here for a long time. Here is the exact text from the latest FCC Part 97: "(h) 60 m band: (1) In the 5330.5-5406.4 kHz band (60 m band), amateur stations may transmit only

Jim, Here's a technical description of CW on 60 from Recommended Practices... ----- As updated 5 March 2012, Sounds like SSB to me?? CW Operation CW operation must take place at the center of your

Ummmmmmmmmmm------- one can operate cw on 60 meters and not SSB, Chuck... To: 4sqrp@... From: 4sqrp@... Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 12:59:11 -0500 Subject: [4sqrp] A simple 60 meter CW transmitter --

The requirements for operation on 60 meters are not so simple. The transmitter would need to be SSB (upper only) including specific capabilities. You can read about them here...

I'll jump in here too. In my own personal opinion, 60 meters is an absolutely excellent choice. Also the full 5 watts or more should be kept as the power level. It would make a great

I'm good for this type of rig as well! I have more 20-40-80 m stuff to play with. 72 Johnny AC0BQ -- QRP....."More smiles per Watt" 72 JOHNNY AC0BQ ..

I've had numerous K2s and K1s over the years. Other than tiring audio (to my ears) at times they have been amazing. And now I have a brand new KX3 on the desk. Wow! My only antenna at the moment is

Robert; I think your idea of a simple 5W, 5-channel 60 meter CW rig is a great idea! 72/3, -Ed, WG5F-

got the diff. rig bug hi hi selling ats4. by kd1jv . works fine have documentation cd with any one interested qrz is good e mail . what are the selling for? contact jim kc0dd

This coming Sunday is the "SECOND SUNDAY SPRINT". It's a good opportunity to brush up on your CW prior to Field Day. Here are the details, which should be familiar to all by now: Date/time: Sunday,

Terry and All, Boy Terry, you convinced me all over again that I wouldn't want one of those rigs! Yes, I am sure it is a competent radio in most respects. However, the negatives are pretty glaring in
