[Elecraft] 10m birdies

All, I am using the K2 only as a tvtr driver for VHF, does any one else have some major birdies on the 10m band? I am trying to use the K2 as a Dx machine for contests and weak sig work but this sometimes makes life awkward is there any screening or anything in particular that causes them!

[Elecraft] OT: Noise reducing earphones

Just a note that is slightly off topic: For those of you looking for a way to reduce distractions while picking out those weak signals from the ether. I picked up a set of passive noise reducing ear 'plugs' made by Shure for about $100 from CompUSA (originally for my palm/mp3 listening) and I'll

[Elecraft] She's a keeper...

Tom, Does your wife have a sister? Is she single? :) Wow, what a lucky guy! If you folks remember, or care, two plus years ago, I was on the receiving side of K2 # 3206 as a consolation prize when I turned 50, from my wonderful wife, Sheila, W8IIE. We met seven years ago on the Internet, no

[Elecraft] G3XGC Z-match

Has anyone built this antenna tuner? (Described on the elecraft website) I just got my ticket and am looking into equipment. There are no detail on its construction other than a schematic and pictures. Questions that come to mind include: How are the transformers wound? Sources for components

Hi, Jay. I have one of the keys that Michael mentioned but I got it a lot less than Morse Express are selling them for! I bought mine on ebay from: http://feedback.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedbackuserid=alex550_2frm=1728 I'm very pleased with it! Martin.

Re: [Elecraft] G3XGC Z-match

Rich, If you re read the text below the pictures, it pretty much details, along with photos, how the coils are wound. They are solenoid open wire coils, and the coil forms are noted, as are the wire sizes and turns for each winding. Link coils such as in this Z match tuner, are typically made

RE: [Elecraft] K2 MARS mod

Generally, hamband-only radios are not so good for MARS operations. Radios with wideband (1.8-30 MHz) receivers can sometimes be modified by or for valid MARS stations and this works well. Hambands-only radios, even if they cover a few hundred Khz above or below the hamband limits miss out on a

Re: [Elecraft] setting power via RS232 with KPA100

VE7NGR noted: When setting the power via the serial port using basic mode, whichever PA is in use will remain in use, regardless of the output set via the serial port. The K2 will not switch according to the power level like it does with the front panel knob. This means: - If the K2 PA is in

[Elecraft] KSB2 Parts ID

I'm starting to build the SSB adapter for my K2 (#4398), and I have a parts ID question: I appear to be missing RP3 and RP5 as listed in the parts list, but I have two 6-pin RP's labelled CTSK 045161473 and 6X-2-202 B02242 yet to be accounted for. I strongly suspect these are my missing RP's

Re: [Elecraft] KSB2 Parts ID

Fred, Those are the same parts I had with my KSB2. The CTSK 045161473 is called out in the parts list as 61473 for RP5. The '6X-2-202 B02242 part I used for RP3, trusting that the only part left was the correct part. The KDSB seems to work, but I've never used one before, so what do I know.

[Elecraft] Why is K2 so easy to send cw with?

Hello fellow Elecraft addicts - I've been using my Icom 706 a lot lately while I build the amp for my K2. As an 18- 20wpm cw novice I seem to have FAR more difficulty SENDING cw on the 706 then I do on the K2. I could swear it's not my imagination. After 30min on the 706 - a switch over to
