Morning Eric,
Would be good to see a Silent Tune design of Antenna Coupler replace the
KAT100 etc.eventually with a few milliwatts not watts going out during
tuning of antenna system. The Tx could be running full power (or less). We
have enough Tuners (deliberate or otherwise) who always choose
Hi Lonnie and Rolf:
I'm not sure the question was really answered. I trust you both
realize that the DSP as a whole, as well as individual features
such as filters, noise reduction, and auto notch filter can be switched
on and off from the front panel. So the answer to your question,
Rolf is:
Hi Gary,
Just to let you know: I swapped out the power supply
and it cleared up the 160M problem.
Thanks again for the stellar support!

Folks,
I have received several requests from folks wanting to know how to optimize
their AGC Threshold. It is only inferred in the manual. If you want the
best weak signal detection that your K2 can deliver, I recommend doing the
optimization. A bit of discussion first, then how to do it (no
Hi -
I'm trying to find the other article in addition to Lyle's about using the
KPA100 externally but I cannot remember the author's correct spelling of the
last name. It's something like John Grebencamp - I do apologize in advance to
John about this question :-) I recall that he is quite a
I'm going to order a K2 but am trying to spread the cost out over some
period of time. Is there any advantage to ordering the K2 and the KPA100 at
the same time? That is, am I going to run into places in the instructions
for building the K2 where it would be advantageous to have the KPA100 kit
Craig,
To add the KPA100 later, the answer is - nothing electrical has to be
changed - BUT there are connectors for the AUX RF and AUX 12V that have to
be installed, and the installation of the AUX RF connector requires you to
remove the K2 rear cover - not hard, but you do have to be careful
I just went through the process and I wouldn't worry about it. The kits
are well designed and options go in pretty easily.
On page 71 of the K2 manual (download from elecraft) you can see the steps
you would be able to save. Look at the Installation sections of the
option manuals (also

Steve,
I agree, the bypass would be a welcome addition. I'd
also like to see a meter. It's nice to see power out
and SWR. LEDs are fine, but a meter is a more powerful
tool IMHO.(OK, Digital readout may be acceptable, but
not as instantaneous as a meter).
Cheers,
Julius

Hi,
Here's a copy of a question I asked the experts at Elecraft. I also decided
to post it here just in case anyone else might have comments.
Last week I built KX1 #1003 and have noticed a couple oddities.
The center number of the three-digit display glows very faintly. All

I wonder whether a simple phono connector on the rear of the rig
or ATU wouldn't give access to an alalog voltage line. It could be used
with an external meter for tuning indications.
Calibration would still be a question, I suppose.

Bob,
That's a good point. I suppose if you knew that 100W
should provide say 100 uA, you could use a Bird 43 to
develop a scale for the meter. Maybe moving the KAT
into an EC2, finding a meter that fits the front panel
would accomplish this in a neat package.

I would suppose that a simple pot would allow one to

In any event, it's a good idea to build the basic K2 and complete all the
alignment and testing, then go on to add each option, one at a time, just in
case there is a problem. It makes locating the problem and correcting it so
much easier than having a fully-loaded rig that never worked to
Hi gang,
My first question in the building of K1-4 s/n:1977.
Since R8 of the Front Panel Board was not what it was supposed to be (I got a
220 OHM instead of a 22 OHM), I figured I'd pick it up at the local Radio
Shack. Well, I did, and it is a 22 OHM, 5% tolerance. But the unit calls for

It's worth looking at when I have a spare moment...

Hello Jim,
I've owned my 746PRO for about 3 years, and my K2/100 S/N 3039 w/ all
options for a little over 2 years, so I feel qualified to render an
opinion here. I'll start by saying that although the 746PRO is a nice
rig, it's no match for the K2 for CW, which is my primary mode of
22 matches
