Gang,
The stuff you are referring to is used a lot by RVers to keep stuff from
moving about. One caution, if you leave it in contact with painted items
for a long time, it will leave marks that may be difficult to remove. If we
are talking about the same stuff, it is much cheaper at the
While you are at it, you should make allowances for the skill of the
operator. If I make a contact, it is a big deal!!!

Gang,
Just put the SSB board in my K2 [S/N 4858]. I have tried my Shure 444 with
the K2 and seem to have no drive. I think I will try a portable telephone
headset. I will need to get some bias for the mike from the K2 then I'll find
out if I have a problem with the SSB board or my old
Geee,
I simply put rubber bands on the bail until the ends were close enough
together to install. Remove the bands one at a time. Took about 5 min.

Gang,
My basic K2 [5 watt version] is my station rig. I have a NC-20 in white
metal for field use. That will be supplemented by a K1 as soon as the budget
will stand it and SHMBO [lets not start that again] approves.
As for general coverage, I have a Hallicrafters S-38 [circa 1946]
OK,
I confess that after building control and receiver circuits [carefully]
with no problems, I wanted to believe the rig was 100% after initial
transmitter alignment. I put the rig on the air and made contact immediately.
THEN: a friend loaned me his OHR WM-1 wattmeter so I could
Gang,
The '2 pin computer jumper blocks' used to program the microphone on the
SSB board are probably familiar to us all, however, how does one find them?
What is the proper nomenclature and which mfg. makes them? After trying to
locate them [I would prefer the ones with the shorting wire
Another K2 lives! Completed the rig today and worked Bob, KB3ENU in MD on 30m.
Bob has a K1 and we soldiered on through QSB and QRM. Radio is fun again!

S/N 04858 is thru the 40m receiver test [Alignment and Test, Part II].
The only problem [after replacing 10 uH L31 with 12 uH to get sufficient range
of 4 MHz Osc. Cal.] was when I performed the VCO Voltage Readings.
The voltage readings were well in range, but two bands [20 17 m] had
Guys,
If you read the specifications carefully and do the math, at 10% of
scale the reading can be off by a huge percentage even with a fine
instrument like a Byrd. Rare to see proper slug for HF qrp for a Byrd.

Gang,
One of the insturments I always wanted for home use was a spectrum
analyzer. Nice to have sound card analyzers with software and all, but a real
rf analyzer in a small, functional package would be so great. With some
careful trade off decisions it might even be affordable! The
I am building K2 04858 and have arrived at the display installation in the
front panel. I have a couple questions and am too impatient to wait for the
Elecraft gang to open up about noon [here] Monday so I turn to this group.

OK!
I'm new at this. Ignore my previous message! I did a search of this list and
found the answers:
Leave everything on the LED and LCD alone! Check for a clear protective
coating at time of mounting the circuit to the front panel, per manual.
Right?
