[Elecraft] [K2] how can I turn off Fast Play?

2009-07-23 Thread Ron Greene
K2 issue: I was programming PF2 to set INP to Hand, which works fine BUT somehow the Fast Play got turned on. I have read through the manual several times and I can't figure out how to turn Fast Play off so in the mean time I've lost the primary switch funtions that Fast Play takes over. How

Thanks to those of you who responded with various suggestions. I'm going to go ahead and order the KNB2 and see if that does the job. I suspect the noise might be coming from a nearby medical facility (hospice) and being transmitted down the power lines. Even if the NB doesn't solve this

[Elecraft] [K2] 30m problem new build

2009-02-25 Thread Ron Greene
I'm at the final stage of test and alignment of my new K2, sn 6687 and I can not get the 30m band working. Tests and alignments on all the other bands are OK. After successfully completing the 20m tests which includes good reception and 10w output I am unable to get L8 and L9 to peak on 30m.
