Hi Mike
With ref to your missing part I needed a replacement part for K2#4785 it
arrived in 10 days in the UK
so very quick.
Also a note to the group K2 #4785 is complete had first QSO with local
station on 40m ssb and all is fine
good audio report with MH2 mic albeit a very noisy
One phone call, on which Scott spent 15 minutes helping me
identify a $0.25 part and it was here 3 days later (across
the continent to N.J.). Elecraft service has a well deserved
good reputation. I have found it to be as close to perfection
as you can get. This reflector and the phone support
I typed the Model # incorrectly. It is UB-1. Wayne Burdick pointed me to a
reference to a coaxial Ultrabal. The one I have is not a coaxial balun. It
is a tube 6.75 inches long and 1.25 inch in diameter. It has an SO-239 on
one end, and screw terminals on the other end. If no one can identify this

A dollar will get you $10 that it's a 4:1 BALANCED WIRE balun.

Is there a list of the frequency bands that the K2 can receive/transmit out
of the Ham Bands.
Thanks

One sure way is to connect a 50 ohm dummy load across the screw terminals
and measure the impedance with an antenna analyzer. 7MHz is a good
frequency to use. If it is a1:1 balun the analyzer will read 50 ohms. If
it is a 4:1 balun, the analyzer will read about 12 ohms. Alternatively
Last night, I ended up calling on 10.112.7 because I was hearing some
occasional broadband digital QRM on 10.102.7, and someone was calling near
10.107.2 just before the net started. The one and only check-in was Rick/WA3TUU
in Michigan.
Next week, I'm going to try calling the net one hour later
Hello all,
I'm getting ready to order my K2 and would like your
input on what options and mods I should get based on
the following:
I just upgraded to General class and have zero
experience on HF bands. My boy/girl 17 year old twins
have there tech license and are getting ready to test

The first option I would recommend is the KAT2 ATU for the K2.
With it you can take the rig anywhere, and load darned near anything
for an antenna. I have lots of loose batteries here, so don't use
the internal battery. But if you expect to do a lot of demos for
folks, the battery would
I agree with Bob. I'd add the SSB module though, since that's a mode you
want. Not only does it give you SSB, but it opens the door to play with
digital modes like PSK31 as well.

Hi All,
Seems like I'm giving folks a good laugh, and I don't blame you.
Unbelievable, isn't it? Anyway, the parts inventory fortunately yielded good
news.
The only part that seems to be missing is the stereo jack, which I assume will
show up later I even found all the little LED
