Please, please, please - if you receive the daily digest of the
reflector, take a moment and change the subject of your reply e-mail so
that it shows the substance instead of "Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest,

Tom - I will give you some unsolicited advice-- The KRC2 was the
worst RFI sucking piece of gear I ever owned.
Simple reason -- it's chock full of Pin One Problems and is
unshielded. Oh, you say, it's a metal chassis. Yes, BUT -- all the
connectors are insulated from the chassis by paint, there's no
connection between pieces of the chassis because junctions are
painted, and so on. Shielding only works if it's continuous, and if
cable shields are bonded to the shielding enclosure at point of entry.
One of the members of our CQP team bought two for W6GJB's contesting
trailer to go along with the W3NQN filters and switch box he also
bought. I spent a several hours scraping paint, making sure all the
cable shields hit the chassis at point of entry, and so on.
One good thing I learned about it -- a single coax between the Aux
Buss and chassis of the K3 and the KRC2 is all it takes for band
decoding. No RFI issues with K3/KPA500/KAT500 to antennas within 50 ft
of the operating position.
