Hi Rick,
Thanks for the tip on the cables.?? He's got a nice site with an
impressive amount of cables.
I didn't see one specifically for the FT100 / KAM
configuration.?? I'll probably drop him a note tomorrow and see if
he has such a beast.
Thanks!
Jim

Just tried connecting to you, but not hearing you.? Check your
packet mode on the FT-100, it should be:
Pkt-L:? 300 bps HF Packet using LSB mode
You appear to be right on frequency if you're copying?me.
You should be on 14.105 LSB, or thereabouts.? ? The LEDs should
completely fill in form end to end, and
you will see the two opposite ends light up brighter than the
others when you're tuned right on frequency.?
Also, how much power are you using?? You shouldn't use more than
about 70 watts out to keep things
running cool.? 70 watts is what I'm using here.? It's more than
enough for most connects across America
and I'm only using an inverted-vee up about 50 ft. at the apex.
Also, Les at hammadeparts.com makes a swell cable to interface the
KAM with any Yaesu radio with
the mini-din data port.? I'm using an FT-450D with the same pinout
as your FT-100, and it works just
swell!? I've been using it for the better part of 10 years now.?
Plus, his prices are pretty reasonable and
won't "break the bank".? hi hi
73 and good luck!
We'll be listening for ya.
