[Elecraft] K2s

For casual CW, the K2 sounds and performs. Sometimes I daydream about a K2s upgrade kit. Finer tuning, encoder controls, Band memories, all those aftermarket mic, level out, an 1/8 phone jack, modern internal battery. Oh and easily adjustable DSP filtering. A K3 is out of my range, well maybe a

No mic plugged in as it is a Heil mic. However, if I plug in the Heil mic (mono) which puts it into TX, that allows me to change it. I guess it becomes and chicken & egg thing then. :) 73, Mike va3mw On Thu, Jun 23, 2016 at 9:43 PM, Tom Crayner wrote: > Mike, > > Do you

Brian, The answer is *bonding* as described by Jim Brown K9YC for minimizing noise, hum and buzz. Connecting everything to a common point may actually make the situation worse (see the K9YC papers). "Grounding" everything will not minimize noise, hum and buzz. Mother earth ground is not a

Interesting. I see the noise spike even with the PX3 disconnected from the KX3, and neither is connected to a PC. There IS a notebook running about 15 feet away … never occurred to me that this COULD be the source of the noise. I will shut notebook down in a bit and see if the problem

Roger, It may be that the driver IC for the LEDs has been damaged. There is 5 volts on the LEDs, but the driver IC has to bring the other lead near zero volts to light the LED. If you did not work on an anti-static mat when doing the connector change, that may be the blame. But just the
