Hi,
I wonder if anyone can suggest a UK supplier for the K2’s headphone
socket. Mine no longer switches the internal speaker on and sometimes
makes a poor connection to the headphones. Close internal inspection
revealed that one of the plastic lugs on the “rear switch” had broken
away. So the
Top of the head thought, I wonder if it is only the late model K2s that have
to be talked up. If so, it might have something to do with manufacturing
tolerances of the audio ICs. Would be interesting to get a yes - no roll
call from all K2 SSB users that use Heil mics.
I also use a scope to look
Morning Nicolas,
I had exactly the same fault. Searched high and low in the UK and the rest
of Europe for a replacement with the switch but no luck. So I finally had to
order one from Elecraft. The cost of shipping was a heck of a lot more than
the cost of the headphone socket, and I wish now
Now that's a thought Ken, Elecraft amplifiers. Anyone listening in Aptos CA?

Last week I finished KX-1 s.n 00914 (including all options)! It is a great
little rig and far surpasses my expetations! Good work Eric Wayne!
First QSO went to Fran, K3BX, ;who says it sounded great. He came over the
next evening, looked it over quite thoroughly and muttered
Wal-Mart (who else?) has a very nice little travel pouch for the KX-1 at a
grand total cost of only $4.94! The pouch is sold as a photo bag by
Samsonite, product number 805BK. It has five pockets, is padded and has enough
room for the KX-1 and paddle set, along with a hank of wire for an

I have had two K2's sent to me for replacement of the headphone jack and on
both units I found that they were not soldered properly. They both had
worked for several months and then became intermittent. I soldered the
connections again and let the solder flow into the connections
Hi Folks,
For those of you who are having trouble tripping the VOX on the K2, you may
want to try out the mod created by Stewart Baker G3RXQ - the following link
to the Elecraft archives will tell you all I know about it -

I think I could prefer a menu item to select the VOX
delay, and just have the mode-hold toggle the VOX on
and off.
Bill is right. While handing out all 12 of my Qs for
the rare NC section ;-) during the 'phone SS, I found
myself wishing for exactly this
Fred,
I've had pretty good luck on 20 with MP-1 bolted onto an neck-strapped
FT-817, but I have to hold onto the radio or use a counterpoise. I
suspect your trouble is that a KX1 and its attached wires are too small
to give a low feedpoint impedance. You will need a counterpoise (15 or
16
But their in the filter HI. sorry for the incorrect terminology. I'm just a

Thanks for all the responses -- I have quite a few things to work on.
To summarize the thread:
1. Use at least one ground radial. I have been using the radials that
come with the MP-1, but I notice that things change a bit (like more rx
noise, or Z changes) when I grab the case of the KX-1 or
Be very careful to wash the antenna, insulators and exposed coils and
connections with fresh water and dry them after each use. It only takes a
couple of hours to build up a layer of conductive salt crust on any exposed
surface, even when it's way above the water line. That bracing salt air

I have a few questions about the mic preamp on the Elecraft website.
What type of capacitors should I use?
I assume the .0047 caps are .0047 uF (aka 4.7 nF)?
I'm thinking about building this onto a small board with a header that
will plug onto the mic config header inside the K2. Will this

I want to be able to switch between my MD2 mic which needs DC applied to the AF
line and my Heil Proset Plus headset which doesn't.
I'm not sure I could fit the resistor that comes with the MD2 inside the female
connector at the mic side so I'm looking into connecting pins 6 and 1 together

Very interesting and nice job, Dave. My guess is that the cost of fabricating
the baffle, etc. made it
Hi all,
Just putting together the KAT2 and can't find where it says to install R6. I
am on page 7 where I am ready to install P4 and P5( it says that R5 and R6 are
clearly visible).The only mention of R6 was in the beggining, at the 2nd
step, the manual says Install R3, R4 and R5.

Hi Richard;
I think you are refering to The Plug by Koss.
Many sites are selling them including ebay.
Here is a link to one of the sites:

Page 62 of the KX-1 manual recommends Sony MDR or equivalent with a
sensitivity of 108 dB/mW.
