[Elecraft] For those at Dayton (KAT500)

The price as I was just informed when I ordered via phone was $699 assembledI don't remember the un-assembled price but I think it was in the low $600s. A bit steep for a tuner...but I'm betting it'll be worth it!! 73...de...Fred N9TA

[Elecraft] Any possibility of Now accepting orders for the KAT500 ??

Howdy Ya'll I'd dearly love to see a Now accepting orders for the KAT500 on the Elecraft website. It would give us a chance to get our name on one at the earliest opportunity. With my...unusual...antennas it will give me about 5 more bands!! 73...de...Fred N9TA

[Elecraft] K2 Carrying Handle/Strap???

Hi Gang I completed the build of #6705 last night with the installation of the SSB option. I built this K2 (my third) with the thought of portable operations. The options I included are K160RX, KSB2, KAT2, KBT2, and KIO2. It's been years since my last K2 but I remember discussions on this

Hi Gang My basic K2 (no options installed yet) is alivealthough sputtering a bit. I've no time to troubleshoot the thing tonightbut here's what's going on: Low power out 80M thru 10M (6-7 watts), except on 12 meters where there is NO output!! I've probably missed a solder joint in the

[Elecraft] K2 : C22 question

I can't find C22, which is supposed to be a 3.3pf. However, I have a 2.7 pf cap leftover. I notice that in the parts list for C22 it reads: 2R7, 3, 3.3, 3R3. I suspect I am supposed to substitute the 2.7pf for the 3.3pfis this correct??? Fred N9TAK2# 6705 under

[Elecraft] K2 : Is this ok for AGC threshold??

Hi Gang Construction on my 3rd K2 is coming right along..BUTI have a question: I'm at page 48 of the manual where I am going through the first power-up checks. I can't get the AGC Threshold voltage up to 3.8 Vdc as suggested. My new K2 tops out around 3.62 as measured with a Square

Re: [Elecraft] K2 : Is this ok for AGC threshold??

in the K2 manual that the AGC threshold can be optimized later on, but there are no details of how to do that - in fact, that optimization is simply reducing the AGC Threshold voltage so that receiver noise does not activate the AGC. 73, Don W3FPR Fred Bennett N9TA wrote: Hi Gang
