I built this K2 with great care and have enjoyed it very much. It is a
proven preformer. I
have worked all states QRP and worked 135 countries using it. It is a
great rig, but I want to build another. So I offer this one for sale.
It is in excellent condition and comes with many options.

Looks like I have a problem with a bad solder connection. Gary from Elecraft
had me do some checks and as soon as my arm rested against the front panel the
receiver came to life. I took the front panel apart and could not find any
bad or missing solder connections on the control, rf, or

listening carefully for those weak calls for an extra point or two.
A perfect chance for QRP stations to work the world...I worked

Wow...it looks like the magic word was Ampex! It is good to know I have

I had some old HS-100 discs that I hot-glued audio CD's in the middle of to
make them look like giant LP's. They made good

Switchers probably won't induce hum, but might cause in-band birdies by

Naturally, my radio was a K2 which kicked A$$ and took
names (or at least callsigns).

Actually - after toasting my internal KBT2 by overcharging with an uncontrolled
solar panel (hint hint... words for the wise) - I bought a $50 MityMite 12Ah
battery/charger from Autozone. I plug it in to charge when I'm not on the air,
and then I unplug the charging cord, and turn on the radio and
Hi all,
I am the proud owner of K2 #402 (1.04d - 1.02), with KAT2, KSB2, and KNB2.
I have recently done some tests comparing this rig to some of my other rigs.
The K2 of course won. So now that the K2 design has matured, I would like
to get more options like the 100 W amp, the bigger auto tuner,
And, AA5B was fifth place overall in all classes combined (over 2300
entrants). We operated 6A battery in NM. Set new all time national record
for 6A battery, and, all time highest score in NM, any class. The work
horse radios were K2's #2012 #2223. We also had a K1. All HF antennas
were simple
I was ready to set up my Amateur Radio Station. I was

some nice QSOs up and down the Left
Hi again fellows!
Last mail I said my K2/100 want regulate down power on lsb ,but usb sounds fine.
After some investigations I found this not to be true.
Here is what actually happens.

I would like your thoughts on this also.

Hi guys!
Many of you have spoken of K2 mojo.
I have never seen K1 mojo!
Why?
About a week ago I was at my weekend qth.
I just brought my K1.
At 24oct2004 01.05utc I worked k2vv with 5 watts with my K1.
I was using a full size groundmounted 40meter quarter wave vertical at
10,14meter high.
Now!
The bottom line on placement of rigs to avoid hum for Elecraft, or any other
brand, is to place the transformers and switchers as far from the rigs as
possible within reason. Use twisted pair leads from DC supplies external to
the rigs, and shield them if possible.
Alternatively (and at great
ARRL requests you send in logs of both operators and guests, so
participants includes all who come to Field Day site.

My K2 works great both on RX and TX in CW. Also RX on SSB is splendid, but
my SSB TX sounds like a built in unfiltered switchmode supply. During
alignment I can listen to my voice in the headphones and it sounds ok. But
during normal mode in SSB TX has a whining sound. It increases at the
upper

Hi all,
I did some research. The last two K2s on eBay sold for a 30% discount based
on their estimated original cost. That's quite a loss.
It seems that the evolution of the K2 design has been such as to avoid
obsolescence of earlier serial numbers, making it, so far, a timeless and
incredible
