Hi,
It appears as though the audio issue I have been having has emerged.
Next to no audio, power recycle does not correct it.
On power up the error message is ERR PL 1
Any ideas?

Hi Wayne,
something seems not to work here with the cat commands.
When I send the cat commands only VFO A changes by 10Hz steps, whether I use
UPn;/UPBn; or DNn;/DNBn. No change in VFO B. The other commands do what they
supposed to.
Am I missing something?

If you've not done the Synthesizer ALC Mod, you should do so. Even with

You're in SYNC DATA mode (minimal-turnaround for Pactor, etc.). The
only way to get into this mode is have assigned the CONFIG:SYNC DT
menu entry to a programmable function switch, then pressed it while in
SSB or DATA mode.
To get back out of it, assign a switch (PFx/Mx) to this menu entry
There's no way to activate the few long hold switch functions yet,
but I'll add that to the list. You can activate normal scanning using
an SWH (switch hold) command.

For the -S, read up on it on p32 (lower right) of the Owner's Manual,

The -S is also cited in the top entry of the table on p60. There, it

IF your K2 is below SN 3000 - look at the switch on the top of the

The usual answer to that question is YES - Elecraft *usually* provides

If you have any doubts, just look ahead in the manual and pre-cut the

If so, a Button function for Undo/Back/Go Back could be useful.

According to the microphone information at the G4WPW website

Any of those microphones are usable. The 'bias' resistor for the SM5 is
