Reflector Members,
Those of you using Elecraft TransvertersAre all of you using an A/B
type switch to go from HF to VHF on the K2' transverter hookup?
I was a little surprised to see that to get the Drive RF to the transverters
required the use of an external or separate switch that
Hi
It really does not matter with one exception The KPA100 and 60M option require
removal of the heat sink on the K2. This is not something you want to do many
times because of the possibility of damage to the thermal pads or loss of the
hardware stack on the output transistors. I would
Paul,
I would never recommend such a device if your a serious VHFr
They leak and will pick up alot of external signals that are not on VHF!
I think a famous DX record in the UK was claimed by two 28 MHz drivers and
leaky connections in the 70s!
I would only recommend good solid cables and
HI
Yes if you install the KX60M option then the switching is not required on the
antenna because the K2 RF is not required to drive the transverter. The drive
comes from the low level output on the KX60M not the K2 finals. The K2 output
circuit is turned off when the transverter is selected on
Hi Paul,
We also offer the K60XV internal transverter interface option for the K2. It
has a separate low level output for the driving transverters and automatically
switches to that output from the K2's HF output when you select a transverter
band.
To correct for the 100 Hz offset go into
Hello all,
Yesterday, 7/5, I took my hiking buddy Trevor, my dog, with me and we
hiked the AT.
No radios, just a conditioning hike for the both of us. We've been
walking 5 miles every other day at home, but I wanted to get back up in
the mountains! This hike starts at the Hamburg, PA Parking Lot
Went through 2 airports (RDU and STL) this weekend. KX1+ ~60ft of 26 ga
wire were in a Rubbermaid container, which I took out of my carry-on and put
in bin to go through the x-ray. One screener asked me if it was an
electronic device. No one opened the Rubbermaid box. I was surprised it
did

Just a little over a year ago I took a trip to England and Ireland for 3
weeks. Had the K2 in my checked luggage, and 2 HT's and a Digital SLR in my
carry-on's. No questions or problems with the radios, however they had to
tear my carry-on apart to look at the camera. It appears that the lenses
I will travel soon with the KX1, the antenna coils, etc
AND.. a telescopic pole for antenna setup. The key will be the policy of the
airlines, and then the decision of the specific aircrafts personnel. X-ray
scans will show that it is only fiberglass, and there is no sharp point. But
I recently took a trip and did not take my KX1 because I was
concerned about potential problems at the airports. I would
like to hear about the experiences of others who have
traveled by plane with ham equipment.
I took my K2 to New Zelanad earlier this year, no problem.
And last
Hi, guys.
I took my KX1 to Ft. Myers, FL in February. Had nary a problem. The
KX1 with lithium AA cells, wire antenna, counterpoise, and all
accessories were
in a Pelican case with a clear top. My laptop and shoes got swabbed
for traces of explosives, but the radios (I also had my W32A with

I have learned that all long and/or sharp items should go in checked
baggage. Also, I leave time when going through security so I can go
back down to the ticket counters and check something that security is
concerned about, if need be.
I am amazed that I have seldom been questioned

Thank you for the help on the transverters. This evening I removed the AB
switch and made up connectors with RCA's coming off of the 60 meter module
option and BNC on the other end for the Transverters. but now I have
I took my K2 to London in May in a carry-on bag. On the departure,
after running it through the X-Ray machine, they took the bag and ran it
by some sort of scanner without opening it. No problem and it attracted
zero attention on the return flight as well as when boarding the
Eurostar train
After I finished installing and playing around with the DSP unit, I
remembered
why I am a software guy. It took an hour to build, test, and close out the
DSP unit.
NO TOROIDS ;-).
Yo Lyle! Nice job. Can't wait to see what I can shoe horn into the module.
Is there
a means of programming it
I lost the main drive (160 GB Maxtor) on my Windows
Computer, Windows XP Pro, NTFS. I am looking for recommendations
for a recovery service that will charge me way UNDER $1000 and
do the job right. Please email me directly off list.
