Hi all, Well we had a ball. Didn't get across the pond unfortunately but we managed Asiatic Russia! A lot was learnt and the K2 was fantastic! I have a small problem occasionally with drop out on TX. I key up and the K2 just seems to drop out, sometimes resetting to the previous frequency if I have only just moved (I am aware that the freq is only stored after a short while). This is a K2/100 with KAT100 below it. I have a feeling it might be RF related as if I turn the wick down, it is less prevalent. I intend to do the mic socket grounding mod and see if that fixes it. Otherwise it was impeccable and I am VERY impressed, as were the other guys in the team.
Just a little notelet on something I personally learnt this weekend. We were using a 130ft top fed with 300 Ohm feeder and a 4:1 balun at the tuner. On 40m, we had a very poor audio, little more than a scratch really. This turned out to be RF and we changed to a 1:1 balun. This completely fixed the problem on all the bands we needed. Isn't radio great? ;-) Ian -- Ian Maude G0VGS Morecambe Lancs UK | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sysop of GB7MBC, the Morecambe Bay Cluster Running Linux and DXSpider | K2 #4044 Find out about Summits on the Air!
