Used to be, when I started my Win98 computer, my Rigblaster would cycle once
for a couple of seconds, requiring that I be careful not to transmit
inadvertantly. When I upgraded to XP, I noticed the Rigblaster cycles 5 or 6
times in rapid succession during boot-up. Yesterday, I installed an

Let's not forget that during the big blackout a couple of years ago even the

Has anyone had any luck using the vox to key the K-2
on PSK? I find that it takes a very high audio output
from my sound card and vox does not key reliably. I'm
using an Radio Shack isolation transformer, 100k
resistor in the audio line with a 1k pad resistor to
the mic ground. This same set up

Howard,
The K2 VOX does not work very well with PSK31, if your audio input is set
high enough to trip the VOX, that level will be overdriving for data
(splatter and poor IMD will result) - PTT control of tranxmit is much
preferred, and all it takes is a simple transistor and a couple

Don,
I plan to do exactly as you suggest. It was fun getting the Edgeport
working, but I don't think it's good for running the Rigblaster. I posed
the question to a friend at work who is much more computer literate than I
and got the following suggestion: Looks like you have to edit the
This is off topic, but I recvd mine today and appear to be missing the
assembly instructions. Michelle is mailing some but hate to wait on snail
mail. So if there is a kindly soul out there that happens to be a C3ss user
who has a scanner and could e-mail me the instruction, I would be
YES !!! I received my KX1 today. took not too long to receive

Hi folks -
I will confess I just sent Gary a query about this, but you know how it
goes when it is after working hours and you would sorta' like to solve
the problem tonight hi hi! Anyway, if someone truly in the know can shed
insight on either of the following this evening I would be most
Tim:
Here's my put on the topics:
1) I guess the default has to be something for the PRE/ATT switch. As
long as it seems to work and the K2 remembers the last setting per band,
it sounds to me like it is working OK. I can't remember what my
settings initially were.
2) Do the secondary
Vin,
I predict that you will assemble the K1 according the assembly manual
with no problems and, when you turn it on, you will hear Captain Kirk
telling Scotty to beam him up. It is a great little rig.

That was the correct procedure at the time the K160RX came out. The
errata sheet says that with K2 firmware 2.00 and later, CAL PLL should
only be run on 40 meters.
This seems to be a frequent error. Perhaps it's time to rev the K160RX

Your thoughts helped in narrowing the question. The A=B switch does
function - so I pulled the rig apart and looked all around the rate
switch for any possible solder joint problem but saw none. For good
measure thought I reheated/soldered the 4 mounting posts for the
switch. I also
You don't have to 'FYBO' on Feb. 5.
You get to 'Freeze Your Boots Off' instead...and hit the trail...Those boots

FYBO Pedestrian Mobile operation with the KX1 offers you a great new Paradigm

Better use the weekend before the contest to charge
Tim,
Now that you have determined that the A=B switch works, but the RATE switch
does not, you should check the other side of the switch matrix - do the
BAND+, BAND-, DISPLAY, MENU (also ANT1/2 and NB) switches function at all?
If they do not, check the path for /BANK1 to pin 6 of U3 for
