Just to report that Q5 was the culprit in relation to the lack of side-tone ---
borrowed one from further down the build and now able to proceed. That's the
last component I'm removing from plated through holes until I get a Hakko' or
something similar --- and it only had three legs!!! ---
I guess I'll call it The Golden QSO, hi hi. I just completed and
brought to life KX1 serial number 00702 last weekend. Tonight was the
first chance I've had to sit down and work some QRP. So, I hooked up to
my station dipole, plugged in my gel-cell, put on the headphones, and
tuned around.

I am asking for feedback from SSB operators on VOX operation on the K2.
a) Do you use VOX ?
b) If not, why not ?
Yes, I use the K2 VOX. There are a couple of reasons. First, VOX is
much better in contests, where I frequently operate Phone.
My new K2 came to life last night. What fun. Nothing fancy in build or
alignment, I just followed the manual. When I finished the final
transmitter alignment task, I couldn't help myself, I sent a quick CQ.
First try came back KO1U from MA--wahoo!
Then I started with the customary RST, name
If I remember right mode A does not kick in on A, N, etc. It needs letters
like C, etc for the mode to fill in the blank or that is what I recall reading.
Did I miss something, because you would never be able to send E, A, N, T, etc.

Hi,
I follow carefully the new document regarding the calibration of the 4
Mhz oscillator, and I can find that after each completed tasks, I have
always a few cycle different...
Example: before doing the tuning procedure, 14.150.12 was correct
instead of 14.150.00, so 120 Hz offset...

Congratulations, Bill, and have fun with that KX1!

There's a built in 20 or 30 Hz error in the dial readout, Jean-François.
It is not intentional; it is an engineering trade-off in the design to
balance cost and performance.
The K2 sets the frequencies of the VFO and BFO by adjusting a voltage on
tuning diodes. Changing the voltage changes the
I am admittedly a novice at calibration, and the closest I was able to get
was about 20Hz (.02) using the new procedure. This is better than I
managed with the older procedure, though, and much easier.

I'm having some strange experiences aligning the K1 transmitter. After
following the procedure carefully, I put the radio in tune mode, and properly
tuned the inductors for the 30m band. I got a reading of p3.1. I then started
to tune the 20m band, which unfortunately showed p0.1. I fiddled
