Hi all,
Although I operate almost no SSB, I built the KSB2 for my K2 (#4398)
late last year so I could use the K2 for RTTY contests. It seems to do
everything a well conditioned KSB2 should do except it exhibits about 30
dB loss through the on-board filter. Thus, the SSB output from the K2
is in the milliwatt range and the RX level drops very noticably with the
OP1 filter selected. I haven't had the time to figure it all out, and
it's a bit tough since my test equipment is limited to a DMM, old Tek
scope, and a very old service monitor.
Given the likely cost of commercial repair through Elecraft, I decided
I'd just build another KSB2, and it came today. This will leave me with
the slightly-under-the-weather unit for which I have no use.
If someone would like to mess around with it, I'll send it to you. All
I ask is a charitable donation. I'll suggest a favorite charity, but it
and the amount would really be up to you.
I'd be able to mail it as soon as I get the new one built and working
(without it, my beloved K2 is dead, of course and I can't take that). I
may have it built and done by the weekend.
I'll pick the first email that arrives.
73,
