[Elecraft] CW Tune Led for Elecraft K2/K1
When Ron's CW Indicator kit became unavailable, I drew up a board in KiCad and had OshPark make some up. The masking makes part placement a bit more critical than the original board. But it does work fine. NJR has apparently stopped making the PLL decoder IC (NJM2211M)Both Mouser and Digikey are out of stockThey seem to be available elsewhere. But who knows if they are real or knockoffs. I have shared the board on OshPark.

Ron's (wb3aal) documentation for the CW tuning indicator is on the wayback machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20180109195848/http://www.wb3aal.com/Pages/K6XX/K6XXCWIndicatorKit.htm Richard - K4KRW __ 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

Geert, The kits that Ron WB3AAL (SK) offered were exactly the same kit as Tom Hammond N0SS (SK) offered. Tom passed the baton to Ron for the kits some long time ago (2015 or 2016). Ron added nothing, and in fact offered Tom's documentation for the instructions. One thing that Ron did add was the option for an LED in a keycap - the origin of that idea was mine, but I never documented it. LA3ZA did document my work (plus a bit more), see https://la3za.blogspot.com/2011/05/five-k2-leds-in-buttons.html for details. Unfortunately, stuff stays on the internet for a long time, even when the originators have sadly gone SK and their kits are no longer available. I had frequent email interactions with Ron while he was selling the kits - none bad, but always informative. I built and installed many of those kits for my customers. If anyone would like to "pick up the pieces" and begin supplying these kits, I am certain there would be many 'takers'. I believe FAR Circuits can supply the boards, and if that is not possible, Tom's documentation has full size board layouts for anyone wanting to make their own boards. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/15/2020 6:25 PM, Geert Jan de Groot wrote: On 15/10/2020 18:37, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: someone out there still have the kit for CE Tune Led modification for the Elecraft K2 (or K1) ?

I think many people enjoy the kits Ronald made and I am very sorry to have learned that I was too late. At least, if you "find" the kit offering, you know not to try this. 73, Geert Jan PE1HZG __ 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
