Don,
Thanks for the heads-up. I am just now building the KIO2 and getting ready to
start the KAT100-2 next. Maybe I will try the tuner with the QRP rig first to
make sure everything is working, then remote the KPA100 with the tuner.
I have an old RF choke core assortment somewhere. I will see if
It looks to me that the KIO2 manual does not tell you which side of P1 (long or
short pins) goes through the holes in the AUX PC board. Since all of the others
in the K2 and KPA100 use the short pins, I am assuming that will work. It is
also a VERY tight fit - maybe the holes are a little too
Greetings Elecrafters. I have ordered a TenTec Model 1201 microphone kit for
SSB use with my K2. It is an electret mike, and is their kit version of the
705 desk mike. I liked the looks of it and understand these mikes work
pretty well with the K2. My questions: Does it connect to P1 using
Hello,
I'm available again to start another Elecraft kit ...
either a new kit, or one you might have already started
and perhaps had second thoughts or didn't have the time
to finish.
I also do repair and tuneups.
If you plan to sell your rig, I can do a tuneup and
inspection for you before

If it's an electret mic, it requires power. Assuming the power is
coming from the K2, then it needs the resistor. The 1201 mic kit
doesn't come with a connector (I just checked), so you are free to wire
it any way you want, after you buy the proper connector. Just make sure
the K2 is
Mike,
I briefly had my hands on a TenTec 705 microphone. It had a battery in
the base which causes me to believe that the electret element is powered
from the battery.
In any case, a review of the schematic should reveal how the various
connections (AF, PTT, 5v, ground, etc) are routed to
I have a KIO2 for sale for those who want to remote their KPA100,

VNC is easy to setup and use. However, its bandwidth requirements are

First thing is an instruction that you apparently skipped - put the K2
into CW TEST mode before doing that test. You may have another problem,
but the amp should not draw significant current in CW TEST.
Second thing (but check it first) is the KPA100 bias. Be certain the
