Re: [Elecraft] Cabinet resonance
I 'de-tuned' the top cover of my K2 by gluing a thick piece of felt to the inside surface. It stops a lot of rattles as well. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Fri, 30 Mar 2007 17:31:47 -, Ken Kopp wrote: The combination of the cabinet and speaker of my K2 (#5665) has a VERY pronounced resonance at about 450 Hz. How fortunate, as this is the frequency at which I like to copy CW. (:-) The resonance is so pronounced that it would present a problem if I wanted to use a higher frequency, say 600 Hz. It initially caused me a bit of consternation as I was setting up the filters ... until I realized what was going on. Even with the filter set up for 600 Hz I would still find myself tuned and listening lower than the Spot tone ... sort of a human AFC circuit. (:-) Has anyone else noted this? I wonder if all the speakers supplied with K2's are of the same design from the same supplier? Mine -does- have all options installed except the battery and I assume the resonant frequency of the box would be different ... or non-existant ... with different fillers inside the case. I have two of the old Skytech variable-resonance speakers stored away that are fine examples of the application of housing / speaker resonance as a CW aid. They use a sliding tube to tune the assembly. 73! Ken Kopp - K0PP [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K2 microphone jack question
I just became the proud adoptive parent of K2 #2481. Not having built any K2 unit myself, and not having the manuals in hand yet, I have a question. I noticed the mike jack has a just a little, left to right, rotational slack. It's firm when you try to pull out or push in on the jack. Is something loose inside that I should be concerned with? I peeked inside, and if I don't have to dig my way down into behind the front panel, I'd really like to put it off into the far distant future. ;-/ TIA -- GB 73's KA5OAI Sam Morgan ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Finished KPA100; problem HiCur and Hirefl
Don, Do you know what the resistance is between ground and SO239 antenna jack center? With power on the K2 it is zero ohms with J1 connected to the K2. Without J1 connected the resistance is infinite. Thanks. Regards, Koert 73, Koert PA1KW - HAMRADIO - when everything else fails! Don Wilhelm wrote: Koert, Make a quick continuity check first - from the center conductor of the J1 coax to the center of the SO239 antenna jack. There should be continuity on all bands (the ribbon cable should be connected for this test). Next, be certain R26 and R27 are set at their midpoint. If the problem persists, check T4 very carefully for correct lead positioning and properly tinned and soldered leads. Be certain the red wire goes through the center of T4 and the bare wire from the SO239 center connects to T4-6. 73, Don W3FPR Koert Wilmink wrote: Dear all, I just finished my KPA100.

Re: [Elecraft] I'm Stumped- need some help from the group
Have you used Spectrogram and gone through your CAL FIL? That is where I found my frequency shift issue.

It may be obvious to one of you guys that know the radio better than I. Here goes: Last weekend, I made some ssb contacts in the WPX contest and all was well. Good signal reports and my audio was reported in good shape as well. Then on Tuesday I attempted to check in to a local 80 meter net and after several attempts with no responders. A guy comes on and says, Hey K6GGO, your 500 Hertz high, check your RIT. Well, I checked my RIT and my XIT and they were both off. So after messing with this thing all week I am throwing up my hands and asking for help.Here is the data I've collected: 1) I performed Wayne's procedure for adjusting the 4 mhz master oscillator (C22). After I adjusted C22, I zero beat WWV and the display reads 1.53 2) I measured the output frequency of the transmitter with my frequency counter and it matches the displayed frequency. 3) Last night I quickly went through the Pll reference oscillator range test, VCO test, VCO alignment, BFO test, and then ran the VFO linearization. Still no Joy! 4) Both the xit and rit appear to be working normally and are off. 5) Both VFO's are set for the same frequency and are not set for split operation. Its as if the receiver and the transmitter are operating on different frequecies 500 hz apart (receiver lower) and the display shows only the transmitter frequeny. I hope this makes sense! This is probably going to be a button or something in the wrong position causing me endless embarassment. What do you guys think?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 microphone jack question
Sam, Although it may be disconcerting, there is nothing wrong.

[Elecraft] KSB2
I just finished my KSB2 and was ready to get it checked out with the mike, but I accidently put the 16 pin header on the wrong side of the Control Board. I was able to get it out but not without ruining it. Other than being more convenient to change mikes, any real need for the header?

[Elecraft] PSK with a K2
I'd like to use my K2 on PSK-31. I have a microHAM USB Interface II that I've been using with an IC-756 PRO II. I'm disappointed to learn that the only microHAM interface cable offered for use with the K2 is configured for Kenwood microphone connections. Their cables are beautifully built using custom-made cable, BTW. Joe at microHAM says that the Elecraft standard is for a Kenwood microphone and the cables are made for this standard. Whether this is the Elecraft standardor not is beside the point. I have nine (!) Icom microphones, a Heil desk set and two Heil head-sets, all configured for Icoms. I have no Kenwood microphones and it seems nuts to change my K2 to use a Kenwood cable. I plan to build a simple audio in/out and PTT cable assembly to connect the front panel microphone connector to the interface. Are there any gotcha's I should be aware of? Is there a better approach to enable PSK-31 with a K2? The EA3BLQ/K2DI interface boards aren't an option for me. It looks like a kludge hung off of two speaker bolts. Awful!

RE: [Elecraft] Re: KX1 - when should I add the KXB3080?
The current procedure is done that way on purpose: Build the KX1 then add the KXB3080 or KXAT1 modules. Building the basic KX1 first allows you to test and ensure the KX1 works correctly before adding the modules. Otherwise troubleshooting to find a building mistake becomes much more difficult. Wherever possible, all the Elecraft rigs are built in increments with in-process testing to catch any errors as quickly as possible when the mistake is most easily located and corrected.

The somewhat re-do of circuitry and devices and de-soldering - sound messy. Perhaps 2 manuals - of for with, one for not. Fred, FL N3CSY . potential KX1 customer The fish are biting.

Re: [Elecraft] PSK with a K2

Are there any gotcha's I should be aware of?

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, I am not sure if it is age related or not but the weeks sure seem to be flying by at warp speed lately. It may be due to the number of projects which are all heating up at once though. At the rate I am changing hats I will be losing hair due to friction soon :) The weather was nice enough to allow me the opportunity to raise one of my reclaimed antennas. It is in an inverted V configuration but the high point is much higher than I've been previously been able to go. This is because of all the branches which were shaven from the large tree in front of the house when the one fell upon the roof. There is now a nice open gap for my wrist rocket to deploy its sinker. I made sure I chose a windy day with a bit of rain so the antenna would be more effective. If all was pleasant and perfect the antenna would not radiate nearly as well! I've tested it on 80, 40, 30, and 20 and it tunes nicely and hears quite well. It is oriented with its legs E-W but I don't think it will have strong lobes North and South. I think it will work quasi-omnidirectionally since its wires are at about 45 degrees from one another. The apex is about 75 feet above the ground with its ends about 30 feet high. When I get more time I will raise them so it is horizontal. Unless, however, it works nicely the way it is. More testing is in order. Pat's daffodils are just about to burst open. Spring comes very slowly on the mountain. In the lowlands flowers are six to eight weeks ahead of up here. As I drop to about 1000 feet in elevation my neighbor's daffodils are now open. In Buxton they are nearing their end. Here they will open first in the front yard and then in two weeks or so in the back yard. Depends on whether it warms rapidly or not. I did go for half a day without a fire as I was raising the antenna but it is going again now. It won't be out for good for another two months. As I was listening around with my new (resurrected) antenna I heard quite a few signals. I did not pay too much attention as to their sources though. Thus I do not know much about this week's propagation. I did read we are due for another blast from the sun because of coronal opening. Depending on when it hits we'll either have bad or good conditions. We won't know which unless we try; much like Heisenberg's poor cat! Good thing Sam is not in here to read this ;) Please join us: Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz Monday 0200z (Sunday 7 PM PDT) 7045 kHz Kevin.

[Elecraft] Repair
Hi Guys: Well I jusr finished putting together the rest of my K-2 but ran into a problem. I do have audio, sidetones etc), but no receive audio. When I do the VFO Linearization test it starts but stops in 2 or 3 seconds and gives error message info 232. The frequency is correct. Where should I start to fix this problem. Thanks for your help.Rick K2RB 73's Rick, K2RB President, Long island Amateur radio Club 311 Strong and Growing ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
