K1 and Cumbria Designs X-Lock

Howdy fellow Elecrafters.

Would like to get in contact with anyone out there who has interfaced a Cumbria Designs X-Lock VFO stabilizer with a K1.

73, Joe W2KJ

Re: K1 and Cumbria Designs X-Lock

Joe,

I have not tried it, but Davbe G4AON has written a paper on his
installation. You can see it at
http://www.cumbriadesigns.co.uk/images/X-Lock%20K1/X-Lock_K1.pdf.

It looks straightforward enough to me. I would think you would have to
adjust the VFO range after installation, but that is easy enough to do,
just change the turns spacing on L1.

There are several reviews on eHam - http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/8437

Re: K1 and Cumbria Designs X-Lock

Oh no -- I'm not yet done with my K1, it appears.

I wondered why the pdf file below showed no photos
with the mounting of the board in the K1; then I
read "For the time being it is working perfectly
while wrapped in bubble wrap!" :-)

Re: K1 and Cumbria Designs X-Lock

Phil,

Scroll down a bit and you will see the photos - unless you have
something lacking in the .pdf viewer in your browser - in that case,
download the link by right clicking and choose "save file as" then open
it with Adobe Reader.

Re: K1 and Cumbria Designs X-Lock

I noticed the same thing that Phil did. Three photos show up. Not one of
them shows the X-Lock in or out of bubble wrap. The hookup photos were
less interesting to me at this point than how he was able to stuff it in
the K1.
