[Elecraft] K2 S meter

I have an XG-1 and have calibrated my K2 accordingly. Sometimes, I run without the PREamp and this morning decided to see what effect that has on S meter readings so I could give more reasonable reports. I know a bunch of you have already done this but for what its worth:

[Elecraft] 48V, plus or minus, usually

It's that 50 volt 20 amp supply that's a killer! Actually, this voltage/current is very easy to come by, and relatively low in cost. The telephone industry uses this voltage and at high currents. Surplus is readily available, and often at prices less than the per-watt cost of a 13.8V high

[Elecraft] K2 Control Board U1 component number correct?

Hi folks - My K2 inventory lists Control Board component U1 as SA602AN. The actual part supplied is SA612AN. I assume this is a correct part but would like to verify before soldering to the board. I'd check with Elecraft support but it's the weekend - anybody know by chance? Thank you in

Hello Tim! SA602 and SA612 are interchangeable in the K2. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr. Change, sub, unsub etc.):

[Elecraft] Distortion on 80 M

Hi Malcom, Can you please tell me what was causing the distortion on 80 meters? I seem to have the same problem... Sylvain VE2SQX ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber

[Elecraft] Atomic Clocks and Aluminum Siding

Atomic Clocks are great additions to the shack. But how, pray tell, does one get them to work inside a house with aluminum siding when you can't put it next to a window? I believe WWVB is on 80KHz, which is pretty low. Can one couple them to an antenna? thanks, dave belsley, w1euy

[Elecraft] An amazing manual and building procedure

As I once again delve into building a K2 knowing little if anything about how they work I am again reminded of one of the truly amazing features of the K2 - the manaul(s) and building procedures. It takes a very together mind to create an assembly process that literally anyone can follow and

Re: [Elecraft] Atomic Clocks and Aluminum Siding

Dave: From the 1 callsign, I expect that you are located in New England. If so, you're on the ragged edge of the normal coverage of WWVB. It is likely that the location is giving you as much trouble as the metal siding. Despite my 4 callsign, I am in New England (I live in Maine), and

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening All, Another week in the new year has passed. We now have about 8 inches of snow with more on the way. Hopefully I can free the 40 meter dipole from the clutches of the fir tree overhead. It has drooped considerably under the snow load. I may have to shovel the roof once I

Re: [Elecraft] Atomic Clocks and Aluminum Siding

Why not just use a cheap GPS receiver instead of a WWVB receiver. It should work anywhere in the world, and give time keeping accuracy better than 1 microsecond relative to UTC. Most of the time location accuracy is around 10-30 meters, so equivalently the time error at a GPS receiver is 35 to
