Here is an old trick taught to me by an Old Timer Navy CW operator. One
of the drills he was taught for getting the rhythm of sending CW is to send
the phrase Bens Best Bent Wire. If sent like this, BensBest Bent
One last note to everyone who might be looking for DE during this weekend's
ARCI Spring QSO Party.
I will be operating portable from DE as NJ2OM/3.
I will operate on the QRP frequencies +- 5KHz. If anyone needs my
operating/band schedule reposted, just let me know.
Hope to hand out DE to as
Ron,
Thank you for taking the time (typing and editing) to explain the logic (no pun
intended)behind the filter pitch change question. You not only answered the
question but provided an insite into how the vfo and bfo operate in the K2 in
an understandable fashion.
When you write your book,
I must have an early serial number K2. My #2456 doesn't have a mouse port.
No worry, tho. The N0SS led doodah works a peach and was a snap to install.

SN 4853 is on the
K2: #4847 (basic CW) is assembled, aligned and ready to make some contacts.

I may have to rewind T7. I'm not sure whether there's enough red 26ga
wire left to get away with that without reusing what's left of the 20 I
used on the first incarnation of T7 on one of the smaller LPF inductors
later on.

Thanks...that's good information. Generous and helpful folks have
volunteered off-list to provide me any replacement wire I should need,
so I should be in good shape.
Thanks again es 73

In the K2, the tuning indicator is usually installed such that it will
blink the 10th LED of the S-meter LED to indicate when you're
tuned to the
other guy's signal. Don Wilhelm, W3FPR, tells me he prefers to use a
separate LED for this purpose, and he mounts a

The mouse port is actually part of the KPC2 option with the outboard 12 inch
flat panel monitor. This option supercedes the KIO2 as it replaces the need for
an outboard PC with a built in P3 1GHz/256MB/10GB with 802.11a/b/g and a bullet
proof OS like Linux.

When I was a Novice, not only did I hear BEST BENT WIRE but we actually
sent dit-di-di dit dit and OM would send dit dit, and then vice versa.
Thee days the only QSO I have had with that was W9ZN, and he sends BEST
BENT WIRE/5 too.

As we watch the reports of newbies just getting their new K2 kits with
serial number approaching 5000 a lot comes to mind.
Aside from the apparent success of some good guys: Eric Wayne.
I think of all the excitement, and back to hands-on that these little
boxes from Aptos have provided us.
My favorite practice line went like this:

Freshly built K1-4 #1994 (bought it 1.5 months ago). Bought the K1, K2
and KX1, and decided the KX1 best fits my needs (except for QRO QRQ
CW... so I'm not letting the K2 go just yet...!)
I'm offering my K1 configured as follows:

I know this has been discussed on the reflector, but I can't find it in
the archives after a bit of searching. I have the RS equivalent of the
Koss Ear Plugs which work great on my KX1 for an old guy who can't hear
any more. However, I can't get them into my ears so they'll stay for
any length

Great ideas. Here is another. Go down to Walmart and
get some Silencio ear plugs from the sporting goods
section. Cut them appropriately and put them on
instead of the foam. Much more comfortable for me and
a better seal.
