Here's a benefit of a K2 I had not thought about. My Carvin power amp went "bad". OK, I killed it by running it in bridge mode while hooked to two speakers. Carvin wanted $120 flat rate to repair it. Instead I ordered 2 output transistors and, using the skills and tools left over from building the K2, installed the new transistors. The amp works fine. Parts cost me $12 including shipping. So instead of spending $120 for someone else to do it, I did it for $12. And this wasn't the first time I've save money because of the K2. The bass amp I donated to the local high school became intermittent. I found the issue (poor solder joint - imagine that) and fixed it. So there are benefits of having build a K2 that extend even beyond the realm of ham radio! - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
