Hi all,
Received today in post K2 S/N 4511. Just doing inventory check at this point
but trying to make sure I understand work task. I am a bit confused with LCD
backlight diffuser. It has a really nasty looking thin film on top which
appears to be protective only then below it another matt whi
Kenyon,
You did it just the way it is supposed to be done - congratulations.
Adjusting L30 is mentioned in the 3rd step of the 40/60 meter alignment on
page 13 of the K60XV manual.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comments. I think you are on to something.
The only hope for lower magnetic field susceptibility for the K2 would be if
either the VFO circuit were changed so as not to use an inductor for
adjusting the quiescent resonance point of the VFO, or good magnetic

Greetings All,
Finished up the 60meter module, and ran into a "hitch" during the 40/60
meter alignment (p. 13).
VCO voltage at R30 was only 0.87 volts at 5300. At 5450, VCO was > 1.0
volts.
Re-checked the VCO numbers for other bands, and at 4.0 MHz, the Voltage
was at 6.0 volts.
After checking

Thanks for copying my Ad to the Elecraft List!
Just wanted to let everyone know that the HF Pack
Amp Kit has been sold!
I built the Elecraft KPA100 Kit instead, for my K2.

Jeff,
Someone has misinformed you a little. See below:

I just got back around to working on this "20 meter problem" and it turns
out there is no problem.
Rich KE0X was on the right track. The K2 remembers the rANT setting per
band. Somehow 20 meters got set to receive antenna. I did not catch that the
rANT was switching in on 20 only.
Now I fee
Nice work, Mark!
Several K2 users have mentioned how well the rig worked for them at
Field Day. This is gratifying for Eric and me, since that's exactly
what we designed it for :)
Now if I could just get out of the lab and into the great outdoors more
often

Thanks for all the response.
Looks like it is more then a little detour and also I found that HRO does
not sell the Sierra sidekick.
Next time better

Hi Gang,
Just a quick gloat from the Buffalo Lighthouse Crew 1A-Battery FD event
2004. We finished 3rd using my K2 (SN543) and 4 Windoms hung from the top
of the Buffalo Lighthouse. The K2 continues to be THE radio for this type
of operation. Any laptop and a K2 can go the full event withou
No opportunity to compare the HexKey to anything yet. When I placed my
order on the Elecraft website last week, I got an email confirmation
the next day saying "the KHXKEY is on backorder for approximately 5
weeks"...

I note Digipan has a setup for some of the Icom radios to use serial
data
to command TX and RX negating the need to use DTR of any of the port control
signals. Does anyone know if any of these selections are compatible with the
K2?

1. For QRP operation the balun is probably not needed.
2.

Along the same lines, do you think the Hexkey would be a good key for
someone trying to re-learn the code (I passed the 5 wpm element to get
my Tech Plus in 1996, but have yet to use it)?
Thanks for any comments.

Hi Tim,
Don't panic. We're a long way from dooms day :-) . Significant BPL
deployment is several years off even in the most optimistic plans by
power line companies, and they face extremely strong competition from
the faster and cheaper DSL and Cable systems that are already in place
in most
