Ingo already provided the answer if you were looking for the front panel
layout and artwork, but if what you meant was the FP board itself, you can
find scans of most all the Elecraft boards at Tom Hammond's website
(www.n0ss.net).

Hi Ron:
Kester no-clean is just fine! It's only No-Clean' because it uses only
1/1% flux, compared to the 2.2% and 3.3% flus in most 'regular' flux-cored
solders. It's 'no-clean' because it leaves minimal residue.

Let me echo Pat's question. So far all the answers have been for
programs that require an external interface for CW keying, and they
generate the CW themselves. The K2 has a very nice keyer built in,
and can generate CW itself very well in response to the Elecraft/
Kenwood command set KY
The question was:
So, are there any programs out that use the computer control facility
to send CW?
Actually yes, and one of them is N3FJP's amateur contact log. If you do
the

fill the need.

I currently own the Buddipole and the MP-1 from SuperAntennas. Both
offer good performance and quality design in a small package.
Recently, I did a QSO on 20m at 12W SSB with my K2... the OM was

If they attract, then the force decreases as you close the contacts. If
