Bill,

It certainly does sound like your present volume control is worn out.
Replacement is likely easier than trying to 'monkey' with those
'restoration' fixes IMHO - I have never had much luck with the sprays, 
drops

and other stuff that is supposed to repair controls.

The volume knob has gotten very, very touchy lately.  Very scratchy when
adjusting and suddenly blaring at top volume.  Is it time for a new 
volume

pot on my K2?

[Elecraft] K2 power

2005-08-15 Thread Brent Sutphin WB4X
I have a K2 with the KPA100 installed and have just finished the KAT100. I 
power the rig with an Astron SS30.  I have been thinking about where to get 
power for the KAT100.  What I am thinking about doing is to remove and/or 
jumper D10 in the K2. This would put 12V on the K2's J3 (12V DC Jack) on the 
back of the K2.  I could use J3 as an auxiliary power source, with just a 
short cable from the K2 to the KAT100.  Any comments about this idea?  Good 
Idea or Not?

[Elecraft] KPA-100

2005-04-24 Thread Brent Sutphin WB4X
I'm finished with the KPA-100.  Got it on the air this morning.  So far 
everything is working fine business.  My first two reports were  Excellent 
tone quality  and Outstanding signal very FB.  I think that says it all. 
Elecraft is an outstanding company with outstanding products. I wouldn't 
expect anything less than an excellent kit with excellent reports.  I had 
alot of fun building this kit.  I sort of wish I had not finished yet.  I 
still have to install the new KSB2 firmware, when it arrives.   I was using 
an Icom 706MKIIG while I had the K2 on the bench.  I was very happy to get 
the K2 back in service.  Anyone want to trade a K2 for the MKIIG?  Let me 
know...

[Elecraft] KPA-100 Question

2005-04-22 Thread Brent Sutphin WB4X
I am in the process of building my KPA-100.  On page 36 of the manual I am 
installing C83.  The instruction says Place C83 in exactly the position 
shown...  Now the problem, I don't have the room to get C83 in the vertical 
position.  While winding T2, one of the turns crossed over the other, and 
the windings may be slightly longer because of this.  I have C83 mounted but 
it is not vertical as shown.  It is mounted at a slight angle.


Question; Do I need to rewind T2 or will I be OK?

Thanks

[Elecraft] KSB2 firmware

I am in the process of building my new KPA100.  I need to determine the KSB2 
firmware revision.  Is there a way to do that?  Looking at the little 
sticker on the chip, it reads 104.  I have my doubts about that being the

[Elecraft] FS - KIO2 serial port for K2 transceiver.

2005-04-08 Thread Brent Sutphin WB4X

I have a KIO2 serial port for the Elecraft K2 transceiver for sale.  This
one has not been hooked up to a computer so I really can't verify if it
works.   All of the voltages and checks are correct by the instruction
manual.  I have no reason to believe that anything is wrong with it.  My
computer doesn't have a serial port so I don't need it.  I would like to get
$50 for it. Included is the instruction manual and serial port cable. Please
contact me off list if interested.

[Elecraft] K2 Reciever

2005-04-01 Thread Brent Sutphin WB4X
I have had K2 #2571 from its birth about three years ago. (approx.)  I have 
always enjoyed the rig.  It has a fantastic RX as I'm sure anyone who has a 
K2 will attest.  Anyway I decided I wanted a  QRO rig and bought an 
IC-706MKIIG about a month ago.  Installed the FL-100 CW filter and was ready 
for the DX.  I took my K2 out of service to give the new 706 a try.  I 
didn't like the RX from the start. The audio with the CW filter and or the 
DSP is just annoying. It was very noisy, like S9 noise level almost 
continually.  The only way I could manage the noise was by turning on the 
attenuator.   Then the radio was even more deaf than before.  Fellows I gave 
the radio a real good try.  I suffered with it for over a month.  Tonight 
while listening on low end of 40 meters, with the usual S8-9 noise and 
hearing only a few strong signals, I thought why am I doing this to myself. 
I took the 706 out and put the K2 in the same spot.  NO NOISE...just good 
clean signals.  It's really unbelievable how quiet the K2 RX really is.  One 
lesson learned, if you have a good thing stick with it.  The other 
thing..the 706 has to go.  I just wanted to share this with someone.
