Hi,
I am encountering some problems to interface a
Microham Microkeyer interface with my Elecraft K2-100.
While the CW keyer, USB to RS232 converter etc. work
just fine, I am unable to use the interface for
digital modes / audio recording audio using my PC's
sound blaster.

Hi, guys. I've been trying to hook up with a good builder for my K2. I can

I sent email off to two of the guys on the builders list who looked

Hi all:
Arrive in Dayton Thurday, left Sunday. Good time.
Comments:
K3: I bought one (paid in full). K3/100. I can add more later and
by the time I get mine (Sept build, maybe early Oct delivery?) the
other stuff should be sitting on the inventory shelf so no need to
make those decisions
Wondering if the K3 transmit AM is single sideband
with carrier inserted, controlled carrier, or a fully
modulated carrier?

It was great fun volunteering at the Elecraft booth at Dayton this
year. Great to hang out with the Elecraft team and lots of fun talking
to the throngs of people who came by to see, touch or talk about the
K3. Of course, while there, I just HAD to order a K3!!

Hi to the list,
Just a quick question is the enamel wire, both the red and green the
same wire used throughout all the kits/modules the same?
I.E could I use any spare red or green from building the basic K2 in

Gary,
The wire sizes do vary from kit to kit. Most of the wire is #26, but
the KSB2 uses some #28 for the toroids that are small and with many
turns (where #26 will not fit). The KPA100 requires the higher current
rating of larger wire for the LPF toroids, and the KAT100 uses an even

Just wondering what would be a good asking price for a K-2. Its a early A
board but has been brought up to a B board. Has the following in it.

K160RX- 160m band
KNB2 - noise blanketer
KAF2 - audio filter
KAT2 - auto tuner

Fred,
The LED traffic lights in FL must work better than the ones in my town.
The LEDs appear to burn out in patches. Looks like a leaf that a bug

The K3 transmits fully modulated double sideband AM. You must have the 6

Yes, when everything is working properly, you will have 5 volts on pad F
