[Elecraft] k2 kpa100 fault
The power input on the kpa100 has a short of around 17ohms from the black to red anderson powerpoles. I havent used it in a couple of months but the last time I used it all was fine. I check for solder bridges and for loose items that could have fallen and shorted something, found nothing. The inner power connector that plugs into the k2 is not shorted. The basic k2 powers up just fine but pluggin in the kpa100 immediately kills the power supply. I pulled the following parts because I followed every which way the positive wire comes in and these had a connection to ground. (12PA) D9 D10 C85 C48 C49 C51-57 R38-39 Q1-2 FINALS C30 C34 R32 Q4 R14 R13 R40 R8 these parts checked good and none raised the resistance reading on my power input. then I pulled U7 back to normal. somehow it shorted from pins 2,8 to pin 4 which is ground. this started off as a I need help email. thought I would post anyway.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 X7-X11 crystal grounding
Ground them to the sides on both sides. They stopped doing the tops years ago. Think it was filter blow by. I ground all crystals to sides now.

I built my K2 using the method of grounding on both sides. It has been a little while since I built mine but I seem to recall reading somewhere that this is an improvement over grounding to the top. Also if you add options such as the KPA100, grounding to the side helps eliminate clearance issues with other circuit boards.

The photos on the site show a single side ground to top of crystal. Manual seems to state grounding on both sides and slight up from board. Without anyone going way out of their way to do this, would anyone happen to have a photo of the proper grounding for these crystals? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to mtebe...@mchsi.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to w...@gt.rr.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] variac question
I have a 2000VA chinese variac off ebay looks similar to a staco(. No schematic. It works fine when used normally. Varies my voltage from 0-148V. But when its switched off and left plugged in I have 0 V between and neutral and 120V between hot and ground and neutral and ground. Is this normal for a variac? I was hooking up a electromagnet @5V with the variac off but plugged in and I got a 120V bite even when the dial is all the way to 0. That’s why I started checking it. Ive been running my coil off it with no problems.

Sorry for off topic. Been researching some radio history. Did old time ship spark gap transmitters have high voltage on the key itself?

Bad news...for those who don't have one. The K1-4 was my introduction to both Elecraft and purpose-built QRP rigs. It's easily in the top 3 favorite radios I have owned in half a century. I think Gil called it a cute mini K2 in the link below, and that's a pretty good description. It's big enough to operate like a real radio in the shack. It's small enough to take anywhere. It tunes smoothly and sounds exceptionally good. It has everything you need for CW and nothing you don't. The KX1 isn't a good substitute for the K1, in my opinion. It's a very specialized rig with lots of compromises for those who need minimum size and weight. After the initial fun of a new rig, my KX1 has been sitting on a shelf with very little use. Whenever I grab it to go camping, I pack the K1 as well just in case. Then I end up using the K1 the entire trip. If I was a backpacker, the roles would probably be reversed, though.

[Elecraft] New k2 ghostlight mod!
My k2 already had the five keycap leds for xit rit split, zerobeat, transmit, audio filter and Recieve antenna. Now I've gone and added some leds to the inside of the front panel. Alpena lights I got from Autozone. It lets you see where the buttons are in the dark. Its a totally useless mod but the effect is neat. I sourced power from underneath the rf board where you plug in the battery or amp depending on what you have. They come on when you turn on power supply before you turn on radio. The instructions say they draw .08 amps, I have not confirmed this. I have 2 youtube videos one is a picture slideshow and the other is a short video. My youtube name is A390652.

I dont have noise blanker or ssb options. But all otger conditions met. Also D3 C is 5v not 0v called for but in schematic D3 is going to U1-3 which is supposed to be 5v. Not sure if that was a typo. All other voltages were right. Removing R19 allows dsp to work but with ungodly popping noise the mute circuit is supposed to stop. I've replaced firmware all diodes and transistors. Clock functions fine leds comes on goes off auxbus sees firmware controls work when u have r 19 removed. Reheated all solder pads.

Plus the the ones I have don’t match descriptions from the latest manual Im working off of. I don’t have the originals either since I never ordered the kit. Can I modify the L18 I don’t need anymore to work in rfc1 spot? john wt5y __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K2 mistake
On the K2 Front Panel Display I put the led back screen through the holes of the spacers. The LCD is already installed over the LED. Couple steps later realized your supposed to take them out. I checked with meter and there not shorting anything out. All resistance checks at the end are good also. You cant see them with front panel on either. At this point I think its safer to leave them in there versus butchering them out. Unless there going to cause problems? This is the 5th K2 Ive built youd think I could do this in my sleep now.

The base K2 doesn't have a full forward/reverse power detection circuit to calculate SWR. It uses a simpler diode detector to only measure the output power at the antenna connector and reports the power assuming a 50 ohm non-reactive load. The detector output tells the K2 when it is producing the power requested by the POWER control.

On Tuesday the thermometer will peak at 70 degrees! Such heat is just not normal. Another spate of summer-like heat for a short period then back to more normal 50 degree temperatures. I shall need to stock up on ice and sunblock for this spell of sweltering heat. Lately it has been in the high 50s and wet. Today the fire in my wood stove is perking along after I spent the morning splitting more kindling. I hiked the property yesterday and planned my next season's wood cutting schedule. I have about five acres of downed timber to clear with a number of deadfalls to negotiate. After I clear the working area I can plan how to drop those hanging trees. Without a place to run I am in the path of a few large fir trees. I doubt whether they would attempt to dodge me during their fall to earth. Propagation was good this week. Good enough for a few skeds on twenty meters. Some QSB and some QRM from stations who could not hear either one of us working. But with the Elecraft gear I just move the filters off to the side a bit to weaken the QRM and all is well. I keep reading about the sun going back to sleep but that's OK; we did just fine during the low part of the solar cycle. Maybe one day we shall get the large numbers of sunspots with the requisite ionization where propagation will be fantastic. I have yet to be skunked any time I have run the nets so why worry about the sun and its foibles? If anyone is interested in acting as a relay station on either net please email me. I will turn the net over to you for a few minutes so you can call areas in my skip zone. It sure would prove helpful to those I cannot reach directly.

Once I armor all it and get the powdery talc off of it I think it will look stock. definitely like the feel of it now. Also went ahead and took some 1/2 shrink wrap and reversed it so the markings wouldn’t show and cut out 5 pieces for the 5 knobs(AF Gain, RF Gain, Keyer, Power and RIT knob.)

[Elecraft] k160 led
while doing the zero beat led I went ahead and put in the rant led too since I didn’t wanna reopen the front panel again. I don’t have the k160 board yet. I soldered from the 2.7/4v to the led thru the resistor 180ohms to pin 7. I also put in one 4700 cap to a ground on the control board plug and pin 7 of the rf board. That was all. My kaf2 stopped being recognized after, sort of. It would still work you hold it and the leds for it came on and you could hear the difference in audio but the screen display would say not installed. The clock would also say not installed but in the menu it would recognize and show on or off. So after disconnecting the rant led from pin 7 on the front panel the kaf2 works normal now. Wow that was a lot, my question is do I need to isolate pin 7 from the auxbus by cutting the trace like Im supposed to do on the 160 board when I get it? Theirs 2 red arrows with a space on your schematic I assumed that was a plug. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] 14.316 birdie found!
Not meaning to start the entire thread again just wanted to say I found where my 14.316 birdie was. I have a Ramsey DTMF Tone grabber kit that was making the noise. Unplugging it from the power supply really made a difference. I had it hooked to the speaker out jack of my kenwood tm 261a it displays the numbers anyone punches in on a repeater using their mic. I found it after finally getting the battery option and going for a ride around the neighborhood to try to find the source and their was nothing, so I walked around the house and yard and still nothing. Back on the mfj 4245 supply it came back so at first I thought maybe that was it but then I started unplugging things from the rigrunner which I should of tried a long time ago. Now I am ready for the net on either frequency 73’s WT5Y __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

If there is consensus to change, I propose the possibility of 14.305. It's lightly used as far as I know. There are nets during the week from the beautiful day net at 92 central time And some Saturday's. There's the west coast prestigious group net at 1pm central. Not sure if they are on the weekend. Some of you west coasties may know. Other than that it's fairly quiet. The 24hr maritime net is far enough away at 14.300. Sometimes QRM from 14.307.5. If 14.304 would be far enough from the maritime net, then itwould be better in case of activity on 14.307.5. 73 Mike R Sent from my spy ring __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Elecraft] 14.316 help!
Ok on the MA5V vertical I can hear a carrier on 14.316 and on the dipole the carrier is twice as bad on 14.316 pretty much from 14.315-14317 is unusable. I was thinking this was an internal birdie but would changing antennas make a difference? Now I suspect its something local. Anyone else noticed this?

Ive had 2 ec2 enclosures which I used for 2 kat100’s and kpa100’s remoted which means I have 2 leftover tops 2 leftover bottom rear heatsinks and 2 leftover front panel pieces. Theirs a few scratches from being in my desk drawers but still nice overall. Any interest in them? These do not make a complete ec 2 enclosure! There is no bottom panel or side panels, no screws no kickstand or rear feet or 2d fasteners. If interested I can take pictures.

Oh don’t forget to tin your iron tip every time and wipe off the excess before you solder the component, you want a nice shiny tip that will transfer the heat otherwise you have to hold it their a long time I have lifted traces like that but it was because the tip was dirty and took a lil too long to melt the solder or I was using a throw away plug in iron.

Sorry, I got the subjects mixed up - ignore the subject line on my last post, The proper subject is in this post and the text is copied below. Sorry for the excessive bandwidth and any confusion I caused. -- Wayne, It looks like somehow the plated thru-hole was damaged somehow - that is unusual, but you proved it can happen. From your photo location, It looks to be R12 instead of R18. R12 is an 820 ohm resistor, R18 is just a jumper wire. Looking at Tom Hammond's board images (available for download at www.n0ss.net), that you are OK - solder it on the bottom side (same side the resistor is located). Just to make sure the entire network is intact, after soldering it (on the bottom side), use your ohmmeter and check for continuity from that lead to P2 pin 10, P4 pin 10, and the non-grounded side of C11 - put one lead on R12 and the other lead on the points mentioned. Just for completeness, check the other side of the resistor too - it should show continuity to U6 pin 2. If all those checks are OK, then you are good to go - if any of them fail, you can use wire to connect the points that have no continuity - all is not lost, it can be repaired. If that solder pad lifted by just inserting the resistor lead, then the thru-plated hole may have been defective (very unusual), but if the pad lifted when you attempted to solder it, take note and turn your soldering iron temperature down, it was too hot. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/16/2011 8:00 PM, Wayne Conrad wrote: Please see this picture: http://yagni.com/ephemera/k2/control_board_booboo.jpg I've just soldered R18, which is on the back of the K2 control board.

Right in the middle of the picture is one of R18's leads, and encircling that lead, a tilted white ring that looks like what was on the board, encircling the hole, before I started soldering. It has lifted off of the board, buoyed by the solder, and is sitting there like a winning ring-toss. What is it? Is it bad? What do I do now?
