Hi all, I've got a K2/100 with a KSB2 that I've just installed and am trying out. My mic has an HC-5. I am aware that this element does not have low output for the K2. I've done the R14 mod, replacing it with a 10K resistor. It's working better than it was, but I still don't seem to be getting much more than about 10 watts or so, occasionally a bit more on peaks, and I have to speak quite loudly to get even this much.
I can get 100 watts by whistling loudly into the mic. Any suggestions for what to check? Is 10K an ok value for R14? I'll probably eventually reverse the R14 mod and either do the KI6WX mod or build a mic preamp. Any thoughts on which is the better solution? -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
