I'm so strongly glad with the K 2 results during the CQWWCW Contest that I can
not resit the pleasure to
let the list know what I did, continents by continents ! I run QRP CW Mono Band
and only Oceania was absent of the
setup ! Why ???

According to K1EA's cty.dat file, the following prefixes:
IG9, IH9, IQ9L and IZ9, although the only one I've worked was IG9.
These are Italian islands in Zone 33.

Congratulations Bob. Murphy struck here so could not get on much, but did
manage a JA on 40m around 1100Z Sunday - strange conditions. Oceania also
absent here, only KH6, VK and ZL on 40m. Fun to hear N.A. East Coast to West
Coast coming through on 40m at whatever time I could listen, even at

I'm looking for a backup, portable, ares rig and have a few questions.
1 At low dc voltage, What is the power output of the k2/100?
2 Has anyone used the k2/100 on pactor III? Are the ssb filter widths an issue?
3 The stock radio has 10 memories? Is there a way to expand this?

Well folks another contest weekend is gone...
The K2 was excellent: Some 600+ QSOs with over 400
multipliers. Not bad for hunt and pounce, may have
been a few more if 80 and 10 had been a bit livelier.
I even managed a few 160M QSOs, with a less than
efficient radiator...
The K2 worked well with

Thanks for your interest in the K2/100. I'm sure you'll get many
responses to your posting, but I thought I'd give you my perspective,

I think you'll find the K2 well-suited to an ARES application. It's

to read with the backlight off. Everything displays as normal, but
just very dim text. (The LED backlight comes

I have an early K1 #00427. My tuning pot shaft over the years has got very
loose. I have been looking at a pot in the Allied Electronics catalog that
has a metal shaft with a metal bushing. Would there be any problem using
this pot?

Hi
I have done this on a number of K1's. I used a Bourns pot with a metal shaft.
The part number from Mouser is 652-3540S-1-104. It cost about $15 with
shipping. It has a much nicer feel than the stock pot and is more rugged if the
knob takes a hit on the front. If you use a nut and lockwasher

I see old messages about undercharging the K2's internal battery if you don't
use more than 14VDC for the PS.I had a nice 15VDC 20W wall wart that I
thought would make a perfect PS/charger for the K2. The trouble is while
drawing 350ma in receive the K2 shows a supply voltage of 17.2 VDC.
Tim, I had a similar problem with my K2. I was not able to get the full

I think that I have found the problem, but have yet to work out a solution.
To combat the lack of TX audio system gain I have a 1 transistor pre-amp mounted
on the microphone header plug on the front panel board. This gives about 9dB of
gain which provides sufficient audio for the compressor IC

I'm glad you mentioned it Bob. It's my favorite way to drop a DC supply a few
volts down. I have four 10amp rectifiers here which would give me 2.4V
drop..17.2 - 2.4 = 14.8.
