[Elecraft] Adding KIO3B
My K3/100, S/N 4385, is at Elecraft for repairs. Since it is at Elecraft and will be at least partly disassembled, is it worth considering the addition of the KIO3B, while it’s being worked on? I already have the upgraded synthesizer and have added the KRX3A, also with the upgraded synthesizer. Will this get me fairly close to the specs of a K3S? I already have the filters I need and the internal ATU. The unit has been accepted at Elecraft but I don’t believe any work has started yet.

[Elecraft] K3 intermittent transmit power
My K3 -100 S/N 4385 has developed an intermittent transmit problem on CW. I operate very little SSB so can’t say if it happens on SSB. It seems that the transmit power as seen on the meter display drops to 0 on a character and then goes up to 100, even when running at 40 watts driving my amplifier, an ALS-600, modified with QSK. At first I blamed the amp and did check it out thoroughly, but see the problem even without it. I have checked all my coax connections, the amp keying keying connection, re-seated the power cable, tried both full and semi-qsk and both internal and external Winkeyer keying. I’ve seen this both with my antenna and with a dummy load. It doesn’t seem to matter which band I’m on. The problem seems to happen when the rig is first turned on and then may go away. I saw the problem when operating last night and when I tested the rig this morning on a dummy load it, re-occurred for a short while, then went away. A couple of weeks ago ran SS CW with the K3 running QRP and didn’t notice the problem. Before I box up the K3 and ship it to Elecraft, I am looking for ideas of what else to check. Although I built the K3 from a kit I haven’t had it open in years. I did send it to Don, W3FPR, to update the synthesizer boards and install the 2nd receiver about a year ago, but that was the last time the rig was opened up. The problem is very recent I am not sure if having 2nd RX will require much more disassembly in order to get to any connections related to the PA. I am rather hesitant to open the rig up. My workbench space is rather limited now and I don’t feel as confident with the dis-assembly as I was when I built the K3. Any suggestions appreciated.

[Elecraft] K2 low output on 80
I recently noticed while on 80 cw with a watt meter attached, that my output on 80 cw was only about 2 to 3 watts at the low end of the band, even though the drive setting was for about 12 watts. I can't say I that I have checked the output on 80 cw recently, so this may not be new. I built and aligned the K2 about a year ago and have the built-in tuner installed. I re-checked it with a dummy load and got the same results. If I tune to the center of the band the output goes up. At the high end, it also appears to drop off. Other bands seem OK. I intend to open it up and peak the alignment, but before I do that, is there anything else I should be looking for?

[Elecraft] Latching relays
I am embarrased to admit it, but while being in to big a hurry to finish my KAT2 for Field Day I accidently touched one of the latching relays with my de-soldering iron and melted the outside corner. I have a spare, but would rather not replace it if I don't need to. I can't see any of the internal construction, but wonder how durable these relays are. Has anyone else had any experience with melting a relay housing? Is there any easy way to test the relays in circuit before finishing the assembly of the KAT2? Thanks.

[Elecraft] Using K2 with N4PY software
I recently sold a Ten-Tec Jupiter which I occasionally used with N4PY software. Anyone out there using this or any other Using software with the K2? How well does it work with the K2?

[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? Do any of you dispense with the header and just wire to the pcb pads? I'd rather not wait for a replacement. I can allways install it later if I need to make a change.

[Elecraft] K2 compared to others rigs
Now that I've been using my K2 serial # 5719 for a while, I am a bit disappointed in my Ten-Tec Jupiter, particularly when there are strong CW signals on adjacent frequencies. I was always a Ten-Tec fan and loved my Corsair II, but wanted to try a newer design radio. Now, I'm thinking of selling or trading the Jupiter, but I wonder what's out there in the $1200 to $1500 range (new or used) that might be a step up from the Jupiter in receiver performance. Without opening up a can of worms, I'd like to hear some feedback on the IC 746 Pro, Ten-Tec Omni VI, TS-2000 or any others I may have over-looked. What else are you guys using? Thanks for this great resource. It's been a great help in getting to know my K2. Phil N3ZP ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Installing KSB2
My bare-bones K2 is almost completely assembled and ready for final testing. I will probably build a KSB2 within the next few months. I don't expect to add too many other options other than the KNB2, which I already have and possibly the K160RX. How much work is to install the KSB2? Since everything is still apart, is it worth getting any of the Un-module/Rework eliminators or parts kits to save time later on? I can see where installing some headers or caps now would be convenient, but don't want to over-complicate my final testing and alignment process. I am a former electronic tech and not bothered by unsoldering components. Any suggestions are appreciated. This list has been a great resource during my build process, which has gone very well.

[Elecraft] Considering K-1 or K-2
I'm looking for a low power rig for at home QRP or pic-nic bench portable/vacation use. I'm primarily a cw guy. I built a Ten-tec 1340 recently to use portable, but I found that having about 2.5 watts on 40 meters only was a big handicap with a travel antenna. I worked in electronics assembly in a past life and have built Heathkits and homebrew projects also. After the 1340, I think I'm ready to consider a K-1, 4-band or K-2. I see used IC-403's and FT-817's for sale in the $350 to $400 range, but wonder how they compare to the K-1 and K-2. I'm leaning for the K-1 primarily on budget and available spare time for building but see a lot to like in the K-2. Any comments on comparing these rigs? If I went with the K-2, would I be satisfied with a bare bones model without adding too many options?
