After several years of sitting in the cabinets of my shack, I decided to put my wife's K2 together. She decided that she is too busy with work, studying for a masters in computer programming, and social obligations in general that there just isn't enough time. I think it is because at "xx" years old it's hard for her to see the parts. So, number 6951 is now completed. Although it is a 15W version, it does have the SSB, DSB, NB, ATU, internal battery and IO board options.
It took about 2 1/2 weeks of off and on evenings and weekends to complete. It all works great which is a testament to the folks who wrote the manuals. Only one missing part (out of thousands): a RF choke for the I/O board which even during Dayton, I received a confirmation from Elecraft service will be shipped on Monday. First test contact: Venezuela 10W to a vertical on 20M SSB. So we are now a 2 K2 family or is that K2-squared? Oh, and a K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500, KX3, KXPA100.............got to love that purple Kool Aide. -- John Fritze Jr K2QY [email protected] ACACES president 2014 Albany County RACES Radio Officer ARES ENY DEC Northern District Hudson Div.
