[Elecraft] K2 Heil Microphone

2008-03-12 Thread Ken Kirkley/NO4D
I have a Heil headset that I have been using with my TenTec Jupiter. I want to use it with my K2. My K2 is set up for the Elecraft MH2 microphone. Can I simply order a Kenwood adapter for use with the Heil to interface with the K2? Ken/NO4D -- View this message in context:

In order to transmit PSK31 on the K2 do I have to have the RS232 adaptor? I am receiving the signals via the earphone output but now I want to transmit also! Always something…grin Ken/NO4D -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K2---PSK31-tp15885415p15885415.html Sent from

[Elecraft] K2 High Current Message

2008-03-01 Thread Ken Kirkley/NO4D
When keying up my K2 in SSB at 10 watts I get a momentary flash of high current. Is this a sign of a problem? Seems like there is a setting in the menu in regards to this, but want to be sure before I do anything. The transmit is fine, just the momentary flash of high current. Thanks!

[Elecraft] K3 Portable Operation

2008-02-23 Thread Ken Kirkley
I am very interested in the K3 for use as a portable rig while camping. Have any of you new owners taken the K3 outside and operated portable on battery power? If so, what were you impressions? Additionally, if I build the 100W model, I can operate at QRP levels on battery with no issues?

I am looking at upgrading my K2 to a K2-100. If I do, will I have to remove the internal ATU or battery pack? If I can leave the battery pack, will it charge while operating off of a 20amp supply for the 100? I want to leave the internal ATU for field operations at QRP

Just pulled my KX1 out of the moth balls and powered it up. Upon being powered up it starts transmiting without a key hooked to it. Was working great last time that I used it. I have checked for bad solder joints and loose connections. Have tried it without the ATU installed with same luck.

Well.it is hard to believe but K2 #4686 is alive and well! For some two to three years I had dreamed of building a K2, but for lack of funds and fear of failure I kept putting it off. Finally, the itch got to be to much for me. So, back in February I called Lisa and placed my order. Except

Hey John: I had a similar problem with my KX1. It ended up being a bad solder joint on a resistor pack. I cannot remember which one, but if you look at the schematic you will be able to locate it. After applying a little heat to the joint all was OK. Hope this helps in some way. Ken/NO4D
