[Elecraft] Has anyone recently got a K2 Kit with the NEW main Knob, Does it Fit?

When I ordered my K2 (end of January) it came in with the old style knob not the one that was in the Errata sheet (same style as the KX3). After a series of calls and e-mails I finally got Elecraft to send the knob only to find that it does not fit correctly as the encoder shaft is too long

I used to run the SGC-230 tuner at the base of my antenna. As I recall it has a auto mode that does not require a tuning circuit From: John Pierce To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, April 8, 2017 5:24 PM Subject: [Elecraft] ICOM Remote Antenna

[Elecraft] K2 panadapter bandwidth?

I was curious as to those running a panadapter with the K2. How much bandwidth are you able to see? I hooked up my FiFi SDR to the IF out and at 192 khz the band edges are faded out. Thank you  __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] Amber display for the K2?

I have a Pace de-soldering tool so taking off the display is not really an issue, but agreed it would have been easier before the display was installed. As for the diffuser, If needed I have a CNC mini mill so I could cut a piece of Plexiglass and I have a nice sample pack of photography gel

Re: [Elecraft] Amber display for the K2?

Interesting I build a K2 Years ago SN in the 3500 range and just built a new one (just finished it). Both with Green Backlights. I was thinking that it would be nice to change this one over to an Amber backlight so it matches my K3 better. I may just need to find some closely matching LEDs

[Elecraft] Amber display for the K2?

I saw a picture wher somone had an amber display on their K2. I would assume it's just a matter of changing out the led backlight. So the question is where can I get an Amber backlight panel?Or do I just make my own? Thank you __

Is it possible to have the K3 sense if the KAT500 is On and if so use the KAT500 and if the KAT500 is OFF then use the Internal ATU in the K3? __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Re: [Elecraft] USB to Serial adapter for KIO2

As there seems to be some confusion on your part I would suggest that downloadand Read The Data Sheet for the "DB9-USB family of USB to UART Converters" Available Here :  http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/163/DS_DB9-USB-15654.pdf You will then understand what it is and how it functions.

Re: [Elecraft] USB to Serial adapter for KIO2

The DB9-USB-D5-F cost about $15, so for about the price of a USB to RS-232 Cable you can put the USB interface right n the K2. If you decide in the future you want to go a different route you simply remove it and get the KIO2 from Elecraft.
