2004-12-10 Thread nicolas
Hi, The distorted audio moves with the Control board, so either K2 can enjoy distorted transmit audio, if it has the faulty board fitted! Just to clarify point 3. The 12v rail seemed to modulate on both K2's when using either the faulty ** OR ** the working Control board! As this effect is the

Hi Bob, Do you want to do SO2R with the 2nd K2? I have been running two K2s, SO2R using either TRLog or CT with an old laptop and a W4AN type homebrew switchbox. The laptop has only one serial port, so I switch the KIO2 lines with a multi-pole relay - not elegant, but it works. If that's what

Hi Elecrafters, Does any one have any info on the MFJ miniature psu type 4103? Although it is a sealed unit I wish to adjust the output to keep my internal battery charged. The nominal output voltage is 13.8 and I wish to adjust to give 14.2 as measured by the K2. I think the unit could be
