Congratulations Greg! I'm working on #6113. It sounds like you have
installed the SSB board as well. I also have the SSB board to install but, I
think I will wait to see how it works on CW first after I have finished the
rig. Have fun and I hope to work you on the air!

My XYL wasn't quite as excited about this as I had hoped, so I've got to
tell someone .... ;-)
I wired my TenTec 701, and the mic header, last night, and made my first
contacts with K2 #6100. The first, from my QTH in North Georgia, was using
8w on 10m, to Pennsylvania - the band was up and down and we each exchanged
only 5-3 reports. The second was much more exciting, and marks (to me) the
point at which I consider the radio "complete." I used 8w to break into a
small DX pileup on 20m, and Carlos (I can't think of his call), in Costa
Rica, gave me a 5-7 report, and voluntarily added that I had "great audio"!
My antenna was a 125' doublet at 50', fed with 600-ohm open feed and an
MFJ-949E.
Although I plan to add a KPA100 and KDSP2 next, I have decided that I don't
need to be in a hurry. I am looking forward to learning what all I can do
with this radio on low power, and the received signals are so strong that
noise is not an issue at this time - What's amazing is that I find myself
using the Attenuator regularly!!
Thanks to all for the great replies to my earlier newbie questions!!
73,
Greg
