[Elecraft] OT: Long Delayed Echoes

[Elecraft] K2 L33 (BFO) aesthetics adhesives

Hello all What I did was to stick one of those double sided foam pads about 1 inch square and 1mm thick the type you stick posters up with onto the bottom cover then all I did was remove the backing of the pad that would be in contact with L33 and stick a cut square of black electrical tape

i have experienced some whisker failures. i have a bunch of printed info and articles on the subject. Even some of the old Mil Spec parts 19500/35510 had tin plating. Paul w0rw ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a

[Elecraft] Alignment and Test Part 2

I am not getting any significant signal input from the antenna and the loss seems to be at D6. In trying to determine whether D6 is at fault, I'm measuring 7.13 volts on the anode and 7.31 volts on the cathode. The manual indicates they should be 8.0 and 7.5 volts respectively. On D7, I'm

[Elecraft] Feasibility of KPA-1(?)

From Space Cadet To the Mother Ship (Elecraft): I sure enjoy my K1, s/n #01453, and use it daily. However, there are times when I'm chasing DX that I'd like to be able to switch in a 10 dB boost to my output. Could we explore the feasibility of offering a kit amplifier for the K1 (say a

RE: [Elecraft] Alignment and Test Part 2

Dave, It would appear from those readings that either you have D6 or D7 installed backwards or that both the 8R and 8T voltage lines are active, and they should be mutually exclusive. First check the diode orientation against the Parts Placement Diagram in the rear of your manual, and if these

Re: [Elecraft] Alignment and Test Part 2

Thanks for the reply, Don. D6 and D7 are oriented properly. I am measuring 7.94 volts on the collector of Q1 and 7.15 volts on the collector of Q2. Anticipating your next question, on Q3 I am measuring: S=0 G=47mV D=51 mV. D should be 8 volts according to the manual. Tnx 73, Dave N7AF

I hereby proudly anounce, that all German manuals for the T1 are ready. Of course the errata is included in the German REV A manual :-) This manuals are real manuals not only a piece of paper with a translation to be used with the original manual. The layout is 1:1 page compatible to the

RE: [Elecraft] Alignment and Test Part 2

Dave, You did anticipate my next question, and now I believe I can say that Q3 has been somehow zapped since it appears to be conduction with a very low voltage on the gate. Replace it with the 2N7000 that remains unmounted in your K2 parts and request a replacement from Elecraft so you can fill

[Elecraft] No output or receive on 60 meters

I may have posted this twice not sure. My Elecraft K2 4728 Has bothe the 169 and the 60 Meter Add on Module. 160 as well as the rest of the radio works great at both High 100 watts and low, QRP levels. But not on 60 Meters. I can get the VCO voltage fine and yes the radio tunes 60 meters,

Re: [Elecraft] No output or receive on 60 meters

This past week I installed both the 60m 160m modules as well as the NB to my otherwise stock K2 (#4786). Initially I had a similar problem but then reallized I hadn't formally completed all the steps for setting up the 60m option. I hadn't set the menu for D19 = Y. After I did that then I

[Elecraft] K2 Display

I am building K2 04858 and have arrived at the display installation in the front panel. I have a couple questions and am too impatient to wait for the Elecraft gang to open up about noon [here] Monday so I turn to this group. 1. When does the kind of flimsy white tape/paper come off the

OK! I'm new at this. Ignore my previous message! I did a search of this list and found the answers: Leave everything on the LED and LCD alone! Check for a clear protective coating at time of mounting the circuit to the front panel, per manual. Right? Wayne K9NE K2 S/N 04858

Could someone with an XG1 please measure the battery voltage with the board switched off and then the board switched on I need a reference point since I have tried three batteries in mine and the yellow light always comes on. My batteries were anywhere from 3.05 to 3.15 no load, but dropped to

[Elecraft] RF Noise canceller ?

Just a question for the technically inclined group members: How feasible or worth the effort, would be the addition of an option to the K2 which would sample RF noise from a ferquency close to the used band,(tunable?) which is devoid of signals, phase invert and reinject the noise to an IF
