I barrowed the Elecraft KH1 form my friends, Chuck W7CBR and Sue W7SKH, and went on a Summits on the Air (SOTA) activation with Dan KC7MSU. This was my first experience operating with the KH1.

Great video, Charlie! So I'm sure you know this now, but the left two buttons on the front of the radio control the keyer speed. Simply tap the left one to QRS, and the right one to speed up. There's a + and - above each button. Man...I just can't imagine hiking to a summit and finding a huge cactus! I really need to SOTA in the desert states sometime! Cheers, Thomas K4SWL

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, I went in blind and was a little embarrassed when I got home and learned how easy it is to change cw speed. Desert does mix it up for us a bit! hahaha. Thanks Thomas!

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

Yup! So easy!

What you Guys doing is just amazing and a big Inspiration to other HAMs to get their Butts out of their Shacks to explore and experience the Beauty of Mother Nature. Tnx for all you do for HAM Radio, Charlie & Dan. 73 de Uncle Günter 🙋‍♂

I really like the KH1. I don’t much like the “built in” pen, but it 100% satisfies my requirements of a BUP (back up pen) and works in a pinch.

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

I wondered about that pen. I'm sure you saw that I log with my phone, so didn't have a chance to try it.

You can just get an alligator clip with some extra wire to get on 40 M, no need for another antenna. Thanks for the demo.

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

oh true. Tuners are wonderful!

Glad you enjoyed it

@ChrisN8PEM 7 месяцев назад

Gorgeous Scenery! Can't remember the last time I saw trees on one of your summits lol!

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

LOL! True, I do mix it up and it has been a while.

@thuff3207 7 месяцев назад

That looks like a fun place to drive a wrangler for the fun of it. I am still amazed how small the KH1 is and easy to use too.

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

Yes, it's a fun off-roading location and the KH1 is great

What are your thoughts on the sidetone?

@RedSummitRF 7 месяцев назад

The sidetone sounds like a cheap toy, but it doesn't annoy me all that much.

Thanks for watching and for your support of the channel!

@normkirk65 6 месяцев назад

The sidetone sounds awful ! Like a squarewave, not a nice pure sinewave tone.

@RedSummitRF 6 месяцев назад

Yes - they have provided a way to change that though. I barrowed this radio again from my friends and it sounded more normal. But yeah, it was not a great sound haha!
