Re: [Elecraft] EH Antenna test using K2

Just a note to add some info to Charles' request for listener reports. The latest version of the K2 Beacon Monster software is designed for use in attended mode, as well as unattended mode. Attended mode is probably the only allowable HF beacon mode for most hams in most countries due to

Re: [Elecraft] K1 Popular Bands

It would certainly be nice if Elecraft would offer an option to build up the 4-band filter board into a simple 3 band filter board, covering 80 / 40 / 30 meters. There are some who would be very interested in that. 73, Don WA9TGT / Donnie Garrett / Muncie, IN ARCI #6447, ARS #1717,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 problem, troubleshooting (alignment and signal tracing)

Ok, here's an update. I raised the HI CUR limit to 3.0 Amps, and haven't seen a HI CUR warning (except sometimes when power is set to 15 Watts). I went through the Part III Transmitter alignment, and was able to peak all of the L's and C's without getting any HI CUR messages. As a side

[Elecraft] EQP -- thanks for participating, and please send us your score
