While I currently never use RIT/XIT and rely on the A/B split feature I
think I am going to try to learn to incorporate their use in my daily
operation. Their advantage for most 5kHz splits would be to allow me to
leave VFO-A set for CW mode and CW freqs and VFO-B for SSB mode in the phone

My advice is to not respond to them. I get about one messages a

Rather I was suggesting one simple, or not so simple,

is that Elecraft will probably not create a K3 any
time soon. But the designers did make the xcvr very

Sorry to hear about that Bill. I second the thought that not being able

One of the benefits of running QRP is the reduction in TVI.
Unfortunately this time, it was no benefit.
My TV is interfering with my K2. Usually it is the other way around but
not this time :-)
I have an inverted v antenna right above the house. It is picking up
hash noise from the TV set.
When ever you question something like this from Pay pal or eBay, do not open

I like Fred's idea. The K2 is a great radio with performance that need litle or
no improvement. However, if Elecraft offered a larger footprint case along with
a color TFT
display and more funtions given over to their own knobs and buttons instead of
the multiple menues, I'd be in line to pick

Roland,
Resolution on this meter is down to a tenth of a pF. It does not read above 1
uF though, so the meter you bought will be useful for measuring larger caps.

My K2 has lost all TX RF output. I replaced the driver, finals, and bias

Good to hear you found the problem, Kevin!
I remove the K2 side panel nearest the connectors when I replace my KPA100.
That way I can make sure the cables are properly positioned in the cutout in

Then I replace the side
