Thanks for the tip. This worked great for me also. I used 47K 1/4 watt
resistors available at local RS. 73, Niel K1 #750 http://www.io.com/~nielw/qrp/QRP_Stn.htm > Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2005 18:38:52 +0100 > From: "Gerhard Schwanz" <[hidden email]> > Subject: [Elecraft] K1 RIT Mod!!! > To: <[hidden email]> > Cc: [hidden email] > Message-ID: <000e01c520e1$093006c0$fc7ca8c0@oemcomputer> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Hi again, > > I just soldered a bit.

Gents,
I don't quite understand why someone would want to change the RIT/XIT range of the K1. Since the K1 does not have dual VFO's if you want to work split the RIT/XIT is all you've got. Seems to me that the capability to work split is more important than having a narrow RIT range. Each unto their own . . . 73 de dave ab9ca Niel and Beth Wiegand wrote: > Thanks for the tip.

I don't understand why someone would want to operate split. The only time I
ever hear it used is for DX. Seems to me that the capability of trying to working a few DX stations operating split is less important than being able to tweak the RIT to hear the station I am working at the tone that is most comfortable to me. Reducing the RIT range makes it less likely that the station will drop out of a narrow passband when turning RIT on. XIT? Never use it. I sometimes use the function for spot tuning, though. Each unto their own...

I have a K2 that is ALWAYS in "split" mode. That's because I like to use the main tuning control for tuning the receiver without disturbing the transmit frequency. Of course, it's essential to listen on any frequency before transmitting, so I tune around and either tune in a station I want to call or find an unused freq to call CQ, then I just hit A=B and my tx frequency is now the frequency I'm listening on. Then I can call and between CQ's I can tune around for calls off freq without changing my tx freq, or during a QSO I can adjust the rx tuning with the big knob and my tx freq stays exactly where it is. I know, one can do that with an RIT control, but it's so much nicer to tune with the BIG knob! What I have noticed in recent years is a growing number of ops who never tune off freq for an answer to their CQ! I've heard a guy calling CQ over and over and over and another station only a few hundred Hz away - perhaps crystal controlled - is answering and answering and answering and never gets heard! True MOST Hams use rigs with a VFO in the TX and most Hams use transceivers, but that's only most, not all. And some of the most interesting (and at times rare) stations are those you have to tune for...
