After weeding thru a few problems my K2 is up and running good. So far I have not added any extra modules and the basic K2 is doing fine with on the air QSOs. I will share my problems to maybe help some one keep from making same mistakes. Don W3FPR was VERY helpful guiding me thru my problems. I put C6 RF board in the wrong place. The book says 2 outside terminals so I put it in the 2 closest to the outside of the case.. WRONG. Then I lost the BFO because the 5 meg resistor across the coil was shorting it out. Guess I pushed too hard on the tape I put over it. I also installed T4 backwards which gave too much current drawn on Tx. Now I'm building my extra modules and taking a break to have some fun on the air with the K2. Great kit...fun to build...and good rig when done. 73 Rich WB4VFN _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
