KBT1?
Locked
 
|
For the past several days I have been reading the archived messages
regarding the KBT1. There was a lot of discussion when the accessory became available but it is not clear if the problems/concerns have been addressed or if the same issues exist. Is the KBT1 now available an improved version?

Alan,
I don't recall any unresolved problems with the KBT1 and the only complaint I have heard is that the smaller speaker does not sound quite as good as the larger one. You will have to be more specific about your concerns, you did not give any information about the problem/concern that you were alluding to, so we can only guess. We cannot positively say whether the problem that you are thinking about has been addressed or not, but since no recent reflector discussion has occurred, it is likely that any initial problems have been rectified long ago. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > For the past several days I have been reading the archived messages > regarding the KBT1.

Don and group
My apology for not being more specific >From last reading of the archives these were the issues left with no resolution ---adding connector for the battery pack disconnect? (is it part of the KBT1 now) ---upgrade size of pack to allow for larger AA batteries? ---ease of removal batteries from the case? ---speaker loose installation?

Alan,
I believe all these were addressed long ago. The maximum battery size is 0.56 inches (14.2mm). I don't know if all battery manufacturers conform to the standard AA size, but I have not had any problem with AA Rechargable batteries (NiMH) I have purchased recently ranging from 1200 mAHr to 2300 mAHr in any devices I use them in. Check the battery physical size for any that you might consider purchasing. There is a foam ring that fits around the speaker magnet, and as far as I know the speaker is not loose with this ring installed. The batteries must fit securely in the case, and may be difficult for some to remove, I have not encountered any difficulties. If anyone has difficulty removing the batteries, I can suggest laying a piece of string or ribbon under the batteries before they are inserted. This is easily implemented by the user if desired. There is no battery connector, the battery pack is wired directly to the K1. There is a disconnect switch. Some folks wanted to have a disconnect point, and certainly one could be installed by the end user if desired, but it is not supplied by Elecraft. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > >From last reading of the archives these were the issues left with no > resolution > ---adding connector for the battery pack disconnect?
