Thanks for your wishes. After some 'minor tinkering' with my dc lead and CAL

I am looking for an original top cover for the K2. Just the bare cover, no

Hi,
I remember reading about the Brits searching for spies who were tuned to
certain frequencies that transmitted coded information to the agents who
might not have even had transmitters.
A quick clarification. The IF stage is 455kc and the LO is an HF oscillator
that is offset from the tuned

That does not seemingly work for me. When I hold

You will have to do one of two things:
Obviously your K1 is setup for 80 khz of VFO range.
You will have to set it up for 150 khz. of VFO rangeOR.change the band

If you assembled it yourself, you should have a spare crystal for the 30

It will then tune

would think that the Rx Sensitivity is fine but not necessarily
dependent on the K2 as an IF. Whatever VHF/UHF/Microwave transverter is

Jean-Francios,
That is a normal occurrance, and is not unique to the KX1 and its tuner.
The wattmeter reads forward power (only) as measured on the transmission

calibrated for 50 ohms. The same thing happens with many
