Mizuho KX-2 Sky coupler - manual translation guide

Hi all,

if someone has this Sky coupler KX-2 in collection or even using it on the air maybe some short translation guide can be useful...

Input impedance 50-600 ohms
Optional Z-2 loop antenna for AM BC band



DESCRIPTION

The KX-2 Sky Coupler. This tuner is intended for shortwave and broadcast listening only, but it will safely handle up to about 10W of power without arcing over, so it is suitable for QRP use.

An optional Z-2 loop antenna for broadcast listening was available. There appear to be several versions of the KX-2. Some have just terminal screws for input and output and gaping holes where an SO-239 connector might be added. This is the configuration shown in the Japanese manual. At least some had SO-239 connectors factory installed similar to the later KX-3 model.




In addition, some have rack mount handles while others do not. Once again, construction is first class.

Specifications:
Frequency Range: 0.5-30 MHz
Maximum through power: 10W
Input impedance: 50-600 ohms
Dimensions: 220x66x154mm



Hope it help,

Simple PSK31/SSTV interface for Mizuho radios

 
Hi all,
 
 
today I am coming with simple PSK31/SSTV interface which  can be also used with all of our Mizuho radios.
 
The external speaker is already available as same as PTT. The rest of sigs needed is necessary to wiring out from the MX radios. 
 
 
 

Is there someone who will test it on the air?
