Andy,
The frequency probe is only for the K2 and you definitely need to make it as
described
Re-check if you have the housing, if not I'm sure Elecraft will send you the
missing item. If you can't wait, then you could try Maplins, (they're in
Edinburgh Glasgow, don't know which is nearest
Thanks for the replies, I used a tiny screwdriver from
the front, lifted the pin and pulled it right out the
back, slick as a whistle.
I got my K2/100 on the air this morning, forgot to
solder ONE pin (K7, 20/17m didn't work, easy to track
down) and eveything else seems to work perfectly!
It is not normal to hear signals with the K2 antenna disconnected unless you
have something connected that is acting like an antenna.
You may want to check the T/R switch area closely making certain everything
is properly soldered, and has the proper value components -- likewise for
the Low Pass
K-1 sn# 1979 on the air. When I bought this kit, I thought it was over
priced. Now that I have it working I think
It's worth every bit of what I paid. Great little rig! Now all I have to do
is get my sloppy sending back in shape.
Been away from CW too long.

I've fully embedded my K2 with it's new 100W option
into my SO2R layout, driving a SB220 for the 2nd
station (replacing a hopelessly inadequate FT847).
While everyone works fine, the cooling fan is blowing
air INTO the radio and exiting from the speaker.
Is this right or did I install it

That's correct. It's set up so it blows cool air from outside the radio
across the PA
I read recently that a BPL trial is starting in my state. The trial is not
near my QTH, but it made me think I should document my current noise
environment before BPL moves into my community. What is a practical way to
get the documentation? I have a few ideas that require programming a
computer.
Perhaps the amateur radio telescope software would work. Look at this web
page,

one (each for a day) QRP frequencies.

I have been QRV in Hawaii (big island)
for a few days now with my newly assembled
K2. I've gotten many compliments on the
signal and audio. When I say I'm only
running 10 watts, everybody wants to know
what the rig is. I'm pleased to tell them
it is an Elecraft K2!
I've hit Australia, South

I have been building a collection of DDS receivers for this task, using
boards from Elektor Electronics. They are RS232 controlled for
frequency. They are good general coverage receivers, though I think
they begin to tail off above 15 to 12M, as they use a 50MHz clock. It
has been a real
I have strong opinions about doing the job with the right tool.
A better approach is to do wideband surveillance using more appropriate
tools. One could use the GnuRadio/USRP widget or the DCP-1/KD6OZH widget
to begin this job quite nicely. Since you really want to demonstrate the
impact of
Good Grief! where did the time go!!??
Just a few minutes ago I made dinner and started working on soldering SMT
parts down. Wound a few toroids too. Now it's almost 11 PM with Steely
Dan, Stevie Ray, Alan Kay, Alanis Morrisett, Joan Jett, and crew keeping
me company. Pat is off to her
Jeff and all,
I have no references to any program that will do the entire job -- but if
you can get the audio into the computer soundcard, I can recommend 'Total
Recorder' for recording it to a file, if your computer can make any sort of
sound, Total Recorder can capture it fo you. See
