RE: [Elecraft] Noise Blanker 60m option for K2
Ah, but it has two toroids!

Re: [Elecraft] Noise Blanker 60m option for K2
Since you've got the K60XV in there, how about building a transverter or two? That's got to be worth a few evenings, plus there's some toroids in them! When I'm done my K2, if I'm still afflicted by the Elecraft bug, I'll probably be looking at the 6M transverter. 73 de Stephanie va3uxb 2.

The UnPCBs must have been a real letdown for you then :-) You could always build the 160m option forget to solder some relay legs. I found that was good for making the building/debugging experience last a bit longer 73, Dave G3VGR K2/100 #4783 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Noise Blanker 60m option for K2
Craig, You are correct, the K160RX should take you only about 2 or 3 hours total depending on how proficient you are at removing the heat sink from the PA transistors. (Tongue planted firmly in cheek) You might want to make a major mechanical job out of attaching the BNC connector the rear panel - you could work like a person who is 'all thumbs' and take quite a long while geting the hex nut started straight on the connector body threads or something like that G - little efforts like that can increase your build time considerably (assuming that is a worthy goal). (Tongue normal) Have a great time installing the rest of your preferred K2 options, and then enjoy operating it. We all must take a break from the build process at one time or another (at least my wife says that should be true!!!). You could always buy another K2 and start over. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- I just finished building and installing the KNB2 andK60XV option boards.
