I don't recall seeing this mentioned. Perhaps overlooked amongst the hoopla about the impending P3, and the latest K3 firmware and mods. Elecraft released an application note for the K2 on August 10th. I don't remember seeing this before, but it has a copyright date of 2008, and a rev A release date of Aug 10, 2009. It describes a very simple one resistor modification that makes it possible to set the AGC voltage to the recommended 3.80 volts. Many rigs have trouble getting to this voltage due to normal variations in the 8 volt regulators.
This application note (mod) can be found on the Elecraft website, on the Builders Resources page. Second item down in the right hand column. I just completed this mod to K2 s/n 4444. It was very easy, and made it possible to set my AGC voltage to exactly 3.80v. I think the closest I was ever able to get was 3.65 or so. Today was Elecraft mod day here. I completed the two latest mods for the K3, and this one on the K2. A productive hour at the bench. 73 all, Bruce N1RX ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
