Yes, you should get the BFO range and frequency correct - you can continue
with no extra effort, but it must be resolved eventually, and there is no
time like the present to do it.
Check the values of the capacitors C173 and C174, and while you are at it,
check C169 too. Additionally,

Hi, I am offering a very nice IC-271H in exchange for a K1, K1X or
perhaps unfinished kits for K2 etc. I value my IC at about $425.

I have for sale my extra K2 S/N 2676 built by me, in excellent
condition, non smoking enviroment, this unit has a hot receiver.
Equipped as follows:
KSB2 SSB module
KAT2 antenna tuner
KB2T internal battery
FD1MP finger dimple
MH2 hand microphone
The following upgrades have been
All the components look right. I guess I've got the dreaded high Q crystals.
I've noticed in the Elecraft archives that it is possible to put a capacitor at
the junction of X3/X4 to ground. Which is the preferred method?
Thanks.

OK, here is what I want to do:
I have a 33' (10m) vertical with the base about 10' (3.3m) above ground.
It has four 8' (2.4m) radials which are connected to the feedpoint
through a coil which resonates the system on 7 MHz. It works as well or
better than any vertical that I've used on 40m
The preferred method of padding the BFO capacitors is to maintain the ratio
between C173 and C174 by paralleling them with capacitors. A single
capacitor from the junction to ground will be in parallel with the series
combination of C173 and the varactor D38 and could make the BFO less stable
My antenna is similar. 28.5' tall, ground mounted over twelve 28' long
radials. Fed with 30 feet of RG-213. With a tuner the system works
well enough on 40, 30, 20, 15. 80 Meters is the pits. Dummy Load City!
I'm considering putting a remote ATU at the base of the antenna.
Basically,
Is this for members only? I see nothing on the home page about this. What's

SORRY! I read the rest of incoming mail and found out where it was!
Thier website is VERY cluttered!
Yes I did vote! We almost need to pack the ballot box so the ARRL gang
doesn't go along with the
rabid
no code bunch! Remember what happened to the MARS system! They simply
banned its use!
I just added the pad capacitors to c174 and c173. It helped but not enough.
The high freq. is now 4917.37 and low is 4913.92 for a range of 3.45 kHz. Is
it possible to get new crystals from Elecraft if indeed I do have the ones with
the higher Q?
Thanks

In rummaging through my miscellaneous odd parts I came across an ADSP1 that was
formerly in an SGC-2020. Has anyone been successful in installing one of these
in a K2? The connections are for audio in +/-, audio out +/-, 12v +/- and a
control line, which when grounded, turns the unit on.
I'd appreciate suggestions for finding the cause of somewhat elevated
transmit current on my K2 (serial 02165).
On 7.1 MHz, with all options removed, at full output (about 15 W to a
50 Ohm perfect dummy load) the K2 displays 2.8 A. Other bands are
similar.
This is with actual 13.8 V

Here's an idea that I haven't seen anyone else use, but it might just do the
trick for you.
Lower your vertical and connect a 33 ft piece of good wire at the top. Put
a good

When you want to work 80m, draw the wire
Vic,
For those bands, I would recommend that you use a higher frequency
adaptation of the DXPeditioner's Battle Creek Special antenna (see ON4UN's
Low Band DXing). Add a 30 meter trap in the vertical section and put a 40
meter trap at the top, then use a wire from the top of the 40 meter trap to

I am in the testing phase of my KPA-100 construction using an Astron 20A
power supply. When I attempt to adjust the power of the K2 in Tune mode it
will reset at levels between 40-90W depending on the band selected. I tried
adjusting the power using a battery and I was successful to 100W
Jim,
The first thing to check in a situation like yours is the DC path from the
power supply and inside the supply itself. The entire DC path must have a
very very low series resistance - if it does not, the voltage will sag
drastically under load and the K2 will shut down due to the
