Any transceiver can be improved. But working on the K2 again... Elecraft would have to make a business case first and then decide.
Anyway, my K2 is just fine as it is, and it's on duty for the next few weeks as one of the transceivers in the TY1MS dx-pedition. I already worked them with my K3 :-) 73 Arie PA3A -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy Verzonden: woensdag 14 oktober 2009 10:57 Aan: Wayne Burdick CC: Elecraft Discussion List Onderwerp: Re: [Elecraft] has the k2 a future?

Hi Wayne, Assuming that you had nothing else to do (!!), a Mk II version of the K2 using a different and higher IF than the presently used 4.914 MHz IF might be worth considering if it is a viable commercial proposition. The benefits gained of course would include a reduction in the number of "troublesome" receiver spurious responses, many of which are responsible for the many birdies found in the K2, and a reduction in the number of close-in and crossover transmitter spurs. I have been tempted to make this change and other RF/ IF circuit changes to my K2, also add some minimal shielding on the RF board which need not be expensive nor heavy. 73, Geoff GM4ESD ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
