HI all:
The ARRL (via QST) has recently taken to publishing the 2kc spacing
data for their product reviews (receiver portion of review).
I have done some searching, but I have not located any such data
(from any source) for the K2.
Using the ARRL methodology, has anyone measured and published
Hi all:
Recently, there was an audio link posted in which the infamous V31BB
(SK in 1992, I think. Call reissued in 1997), made some disparaging
remarks about a QRPer's methodology of making a qso.
V31BB certainly did not focus solely on QRPers.
For a good laugh check this out (multiple
I'll stick my neck out and say it was a standard handed down by the British
Post Office, generally known as a Post Office rack, now known by all kinds
of standards numbers.

Nr 5901 is alive and well after 12 days of fun assembling it.
However, the maximum power output on 80m is only 7w and on 40m it's only 9w.
When I built Nr 439 the Power output on most bands was 10/12 watts.
Up to now I've using the station rig FT1000MP as a signal source.
I'm awaiting delivery

According to the Hamvention website they may no be using the Salem Mall

Bob:
One solution might be to set one of your programmable function keys to
be sidetone level. At least that would eliminate the problem of going
through the menu each time you needed to change it.

I believe that is exactly what is needed. The inline volume control will

I recently had a chance to implement the improved sidetone filter by TF3MA

inspired by the experience of KT5X in November

I get a HI CUR warning on 15 meters when connected to my 40 meter dipole. I
can only run about 7 Watts before the limit (2.5 amps) is reached. I am
getting full output (12 Watts) and about 2.25 amps draw when the dummy load
is connected. My SWR is ok on 15--about 1.4:1--and I am getting out ok.
Rick,
What exactly are you hearing? Also, is it possible that you are hearing
WWV and WWVH, since they both transmit on the same frequencies?

Don,
Not to worry, it is the same on all K2s - the chart in the manual is
incorrect.

I recently bought a used K2 serial number 1661 and as a long shot
thought I would check to see if the person(s) who owned and/or built it
might still be monitoring this list. If so I would like to communicate
off the list to find out a little more about this particular radio..
Thanks and Happy
Kirk,
There are several possibilities.
On the K2 side, you could have one too many turns on L23 and/or L24 causing
the LPF to be tuned a bit too low. This usually shows up with a test on a
dummy load, but is worth checking anyway.
At your antenna, the SWR alone does not tell the whole story -
I'd like to have a switch box to switch a key between multiple rigs.
Does such a thing already exist? It's a simple project but many times
prefab comes cheaper. My google attempts aren't turning up anything,
though, so any pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi to the group
I am constructing a K2, 5669 and just installed the KSB2 mod. All
alignment tests for the K2 and the KSB2 where as noted in the manuals.

The Audio is low. I have to turn the AF gain to fully clockwise to
hear stations. Before I

Hank,
The first thing to check is to be certain the KSB2 option is correctly
inserted into all the headers.
If the KSB2 is properly inserted and the audio is still low, that is an
indication that there is a problem with the diode filter switching.
First thing to check is RFC1 and RFC2 - if you
But is CW on the Ham bands a fading signal these days? I wonder. It's
certainly faded on the commercial bands and has been 'fading' since the
1930's when Western Union switched to RTTY, but it's still out there aboard

There was much hoopla
