All, My wife and I are discussing Christmas gifts for the coming season. I feel that some additional Elecraft hardware should in order. But the decision is difficult because I am not up to date with the latest kits and modifications.
Christmas 2002 I received the KPA100 for my K2 SN #1308. This kit has yet to be built. We moved soon after that Christmas and the new house had no natural kit building area. Bad move on my part but it is now corrected. I built a new shack in my back yard that was designed for storage, hobbies and kit building. I have been back on the air for the last six months and now the shack is ready for kit building. My K2 currently is configured with these kits and modifications: K2# 1308 KSB2 K160RX KAF2 KIO2 KNB2 KAT2 KBT2 Lifted T2 Mod for 10 Meters PSK31 mod for KSB2 Sinewave Sidetone Mod Better grounding of crystals X7-X11 Rewiring from balanced to unbalanced audio pot Improved version of 2nd stage Crystal filter mod Replaced L33 with inductor wound on a core. In looking at my KPA100 kit and I have the "Rev A, May 13 2002" manual. I think that I should get the following before starting the kit. Download the latest Manual. KPA100MODKT - Improves high SWR operation KPA100SHLDKT - Shield Upgrade: Since it was shipped in 2002. E100075SS - K2 Rear Panel Upgrade: I will get the K60XV in the future. Maybe updated firmware since it came with K2MCU 2.03d. What other kits should I get to reduce rework on the KPA100? What other essential modifications should be done while I have the radio apart? Thank you, Paul Guido N5IUT K2# 1308 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
