The Kenwood MC-43S is a good microphone, however you said for Contests
/ Dxpeditions.
It is very difficult to either keep a log sheet with pen or pencil, or
to type on the keyboard
and picking up the microphone on every QSO.
I would recommend one of the Heil Prosets, and the Heil
Dears,
as I have chance to buy K1-4 and I am 160m enthusiast I am thinking about
possibility to add 160m band filter module to K1. Does somebody thought about
it already or even added 160m successfully please? Is there any system problem
to add this band?
Thank You for tips nor tricks,

Two questions about the XV50 transverter, please?
1. The Alignment and Test on Page 25 of the Owner's Manual says the
core of L17 (along with L1, L10 and L11) should be removed and
discarded as it will not be used.
On the following page is a table telling you how to preset the slugs
in the
I built my K2 SN-4216 2 years ago and all seemed well for those 2
years. I had a couple of bumps in the road here and there, but nothing
serious...nothing that was not easily resolved. I was a happy camper. I did
find that my power adjustment on R26 was way off. I thought I had 100w
Hi all,
I just resturned yesterday from VU4 where we have been using (once again)
several K2/100`s during the operations.
It is always impressing how good these little rigs work.
One fully loaded K2 (+ps, small amp) has been presented to a mainland VU ham
(VU3RSB) so that he can go ahead
This is VERY easy to do. Elecraft has all the parts except the band crystal.
I built an 80/160 meter board and it works exceptionally well. I'm sure the
original person who did
the mod will come forward and give you details.
If not, I'll look it up in my archives.

I have a K2 which has a strange quirk, it has developed a thump when it
switches from transmit to receive in cw when set for full QSK. Very annoying,
and when trying to DX at fast cw speeds, I can't tell what the DX op is
sending. However, if I change the T-R delay to .01 it doesn't appear.
No one grabbed the K2 at the old price. OK, A new K2 (serial #52XX) with the
following:
K160RX
K60XV
KDSP2
KNB2
KSB2
FDIMP
It is your radio for $995 plus shipping.

This issue was handled off-line. So, for any lurkers who may have the same
question:
1) The tuning slug should be left in L17 on all transverters.
2) If, during alignment, it is found that maximum output is obtained with
the slug out of the top of the coil, remove the slug completely.

Hi Everybody.
It's down to the last days for submitting your 2006
Spring QSO Party entries.
As has been noted and discussed at length, the
conditions were not favourable this year, but we still
have around 70 entries. With fewer entries, there is a
better chance that your entry could be a
Hello All,
QRN started early on 20 meters and got much worse on 40. My ears have
a steady ringing sound like I've been sitting in front of the speakers at
a Dead concert! Rest in Peace Jerry! At times I could grab a letter
between the static crashes. Other times I knew there was someone
Peter,
Yes, I have done it - Instructions for adding 160 and 80 meters to a 2 band
module on the K1 follow:
Not quite a full Elecraft 160m 80m board, but you can do it this way -
order a 2 band board for 80m and any other band, PLUS, order the following
components (Elecraft has them all except

Hi Elecrafters.. maybe that question has already been posted, but I ask it
again. I plan to use an IC-706 MKIIG for SSB/VHF operations and a K2 for CW
only. I have a Daiwa CS-201 coax switch. The ''output'' of the switch will

Dear Fellow Elecraft members
De Sara, VU3RSB from India
I am just curious to get opinion for the best microphone for K2.
Can any one suggest me for the Best Microphone especially for Contests /
Dxpeditions.
I am just return from Andaman Dxpedition 2006 trip and now needed good
Hello Sara -
I recommend the Kenwood MC-43S microphone. It plugs straight into the
K2 microphone connector and gives excellent quality. The MC-43S has UP
and DOWN buttons which, when used with the K2, changes between VFO A and
B. This is very useful for contest working.
I hope that helps.
Hi Sara
I would second David's comment on the Kenwood MC-43S. In addition, the
necessary links on the K2 are adjacent to each other for a Kenwood
microphone so you can use computer jumpers rather than having to
solder wires. The MC-43S is very good value, cost here in the UK is
currently 17
