The Elcon site only has some English.
I had to copy-past-translate a bit.
The owner speaks perfect English in emails.
I worked with him to build a universal VFO Stab to go with the 301
specific model.
I deployed it in my SB-104A.
He lives in a tiny Swiss city in the Alps.
Superb engineering, rock solid VFO now.
The display system is likewise superb.
It comes with a little Phillips remote control to change setting
with.
Way cool.
100% AM MOD requires tat you set the carrier level on the AM board
down to 20-30 watts the leave headroom.
I use a D-104 with? picky AM group out here.
The Elcon displays are clear and sharp.
My camera is making them look fuzzy.
Cheers,

Thanks Randy.
I'm probably going to go trhough the entire alignment. I purchased
the rig as the 3rd owner. When I talked with the previous owner,
he had not done any work on the rig, but there are notes written
in the (original) manual that leads me to believe that someone
else (the original owner?) had attempted performing "adjustments".
Not knowing that state of the rig because of this, I will likely
attempt a full alignment. I will end up doing this piecemeal over
the coming weeks/months as I still work full time and don't have
large blocks of time.
This approach works for me, as I use the rig in between and see if
there are any improvements. - It's like getting a new rig after
each alignment :) ....
FB on the ELCON - everytime I've gone to their site, I can't get
the site in English to be able to order. With the latest world
events, I'm not even sure I could get one now. I do have a 301D
that will be next on my list after I finish up with this 301 and
this "D" does have missing LED segments, so I will have to do
something..
Cool in the AM. I read somewhere once that this rig is good on AM,
I will be checking it out. A good candidate for a D-104
perhaps....
I just finished the s-meter alignment (in a new thread).
Take care.
