Whoops, I just uncovered, from beneath a pile of wire wrapped circuitry,
my notes. I had intended mentioning a few of them in my announcement but
they were obscured by wire, parts, and a microcontroller. I'll get to
the point: I was digging through my station logs looking for a date. The

Hi -
Another day another challenge.
I have recently installed the 160m module and the 20 W ATU in my K2.
Now I discover the Noise Blanker gives very strong pulse when I click Display
and go into the DSP settings ... like on 14 Mhz is it most strong when I
display S1 nr nt.
Pulses are at
Don,
I checked the voltages during quick keydown.
U5 pin 5 2,5 V
U5 pin 7 2,5 V
U6 pin 3 2,5 V
U6 pin 6 0,06 V
It looks like U6 is killed. Pin 6 does not show 2,5 V during transmit. I
think I know what was happend ;-)
I soldered a new cable for my KAT100 tuner to extent
Robin
When the K2 is operating normally, there will be no pulses. These are only audible when making changes such as the DSP settings. The reason is the data lines are active
when changing the settings and cause interference.
It's not a fault...

Hi all
The base K2 is done. I have 10 watts or more on all bands. Rx sens is in
the 1/10s of microvolts. Thanks to N0SS the filters are aligned. Thanks
the email reflector I did not rip apart my transmit final circuit when I
only got 790 ohms on Q7 base in the automatic position of the DVM.
Jeorg,
There is one more place to check before replacing U6 - check to see if U6
pin 8 goes to almost 5 volts during transmit (this is the chip enable
signal) and check that pin 7 has the 5 volt supply on it.
If pin 8 does have the 5 volts, then the firmware is properly enabling the
chip, but if
Looks like my 22.000 crystal is dead to the world. Does anyone have one
that they would part with before I get one from Elecraft? Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
As I sit back and read all of the emails day after day, I often contribute a
email or two regarding some great DX that I often work on my K2/100.
After reading about all of the difficulties on the email reflector that, some
people have or having with the K2 or K2/100, Should I feel
Not really.
But it's the first time I've taking my radio to the field and not made
one single contact. Albeit I got off to a slow start by arriving at my
favorite radio site at 4:15 PM so LAITF TAC were already going. It
took me about 15 minutes to get the antenna up and setup.

Bill,
You are in the majority with your 'no problem' report.
Consider that there are about 6000 K2s out there, and the average problem
rate reported here seems to be only about 3 or 4 per week. That is less than
200 problems per year or only about 3% of the K2 owners report a problem in
a year.
No problems here either and that surprises me since I'm the builder. I've
hooked stuff up backwards here and there, transmitted without an antenna,
all sorts of du-fuss things. Had some problems during assembly but they all
got resolved. Building the k2 was one of the finest achievements in
Before seeing how things improved I decided to break for dinner (a
sandwitch) and watch the 'boys' play on the rocks.
Getting back to the KX1 I tried 20m again and still weak sigs
Must've been the curse of the sand-witch. :-)

The problem is that's it's not a one-off pulse - I mean it goes on and on
and on ...
Is that expected?

Welcome to the club, Steve. :-)
I couldn't hear even one signal so that made it tough to work anyone in either

The pulses will go on-and-on until you exit from the KDSP2 menu. If it
continues after exiting the menu, then you do have a problem.

I'd like to see some pics some of these days of the AT up that way.
The shelter would be a good one to see. I would like to see how it compares
to the shelters in NC and TN along the AT.

Well, that was a confirmation of the K2 RX! Heard Kevin at the noise
but readable on the K2. Unfortunately, I screwed something up while
making the 40m parasitic mod to the KPA100, and I can't transmit on the
K2 right now. Called on the TS-850, and found I couldn't hear him at
all. I
The instructions for the K1 Backlight Mod (Step 6) say DO NOT remove the
thin white plastic sheets which cover both front and back of the backlight
assembly. When I removed the clear plastic film, there was no white
plastic sheet underneath it. There is a white plastic sheet on the other
side
Never mind! I see the white plastic is stuck to the clear plastic! Sorry!!

I apologize if this has been covered, but I didn't see it when I searched

I received the kit for KX1 sn1519 just this week along with the KXB3080

can do them as I build the basic KX1. I'm not sure how they

I do the KXB3080 installs for those who do not wish to do their own - it is
a little bit 'tricky', especially with the physical placement of the added

That being said, I would not recommend that you attempt to install the
