K2 #5514 is alive and well. After having wonderful experiences with the K1 over the past several years, I finally had the opportunity to devote nearly every minute of the past 6 days to building the K2 (basic QRP-CW). The rig went together nicely, passed every test, and worked flawlessly when completed exceeding specifications. Today, we took the K2 into the mountains using battery power to make the first QSOs on 40, 20, and 17-meters. The design and operation of the radio is a work of art! Thank you, Elecraft.
Care of the battery: What is the proper technique to care for the internal battery? Will the battery recharge when the switch is off and an external power supply is connected? Should the internal battery switch be left on during the recharge? Will the battery be overcharged and damaged by leaving the internal battery switch on at all times with external power applied? Carrying case: Years ago I purchased a nice case for the K1 from Mountain-Ops Communications who seem to be out of business. Can someone recommend a nice protective carrying case for the K2? Is either a Pelican case or PowerPort Radio Box case a good choice? Thank you!
