Hello to all:
I'm very happy to say that my K2 was completed and placed on the air this
weekend. I've been swapping spit with the big guns and getting 5-9 reports on
20 M! The K2 is running at 8 watts. I worked a bunch of stations in Florida
and W1T off the coast of Maine. I live in Nebraska. The K2 has good ears!
Antenna is a 14' vertical with 43 radials. Mic is a Heil GM-5.
I purchased this kit partly assembled and completed the work. It has the SSB,
DSP and Audio Filter boards in it. Now, I am working on the K100 portion and
still have the 60 M board to install. Actually, I'm quite happy with the QRP
and I want the Serial port on the K100 more than anything so I can run PSK.
The K100 came with the kit, so I might as well put it to work.
Next, I'll have to get a power supply big enough to handle the K100 as my
present supply is a 30 year old VHF Engineering Regulated Power supply rated at
10 Amps.
Special thanks to Gary at Elecraft for helping me with a PLL problem.
I may have to sell this little bugger; I think I feel a K3 coming on :-)
73's and be looking for you on the air.
