Hey SOCers and non-SOCers, If you spent any time in the SOC Marathon Sprint, be sure to get your log in to me. Doesn't matter if you only spent five minutes and made one contact, all logs are important. Heck, one of our entries will include just one imaginary contact for a score of j35

[Elecraft] Power/ALC Metering Issues on K2

2006-09-12 Thread Mike Short
I have the KSB2 installed, and the audio, etc sounds great. The RF/ALC metering is not right. When I select RF, there is no output. When I select ALC metering, audio carrier, etc work fine. THere is no ALC indication of any kind, no matter what. Any ideas? Mike AI4NS

Ron, Proof positive that lightning can and will do 'strange stuff' one never knows about its behavior. It is always a good thing to exercize caution when the sky 'rumbles'. I just repaired a K2 (no KPA100) for a fellow that was not connected to an antenna or powered on when lightning hit nearby

Like all projects of this magnitude, delays are inevitable. I was thinking that even the October Pacificon date was a delay as compared to what we were hearing earlier, but I could be mistaken. It's a little pointless for people to get worked up about this. A year after they ship, everyone will

[Elecraft] Transverter Question

I have a K2 and added the Elecraft transverter interface using split rx/tx. I am using 28 MHZ as an If and use only TRansverter 1 on the menu. I am using 50/144/222/432 DEM transverters with split lines out using an external switch. The K2 drives the transverters fine but on RX I can hear

RE: [Elecraft] Transverter Question

2006-09-12 Thread Don Wilhelm
George, Since you are hearing 144 MHz signals, I would think you should investigate either the transverter interface hookup or address the problem with DEM - the K2 is set to receive 28 MHz signals, and if you hear 144 MHz, it has to be coming from one of the DEM transverters - does your switch

Dan, WG4S, picked up on a mis-statement in the message below about the color code. It think it's worth repeating here. He pointed out that calling the last color or digit a multiplier is incorrect. Multiplying any value by zero results in zero! He's perfectly right. What I should have said
