[Elecraft] 12V Gel Cell
A little off topic but this is the battery I power my K2 and KX1 from so... Without intending to, I allowed the 12V sealed gel cell 12 Ah battery to dischage to about 6.2V when I finally discovered it after coming home from a trip. It was slowly being discharged, not open circuited. I started charging it through a light bulb, and then directly from a 13V voltage regulated supply. Charging current began at about 1A and rose to 9A when I stopped it, and put the battery outside in the cold. It wasn't hot but was warmer than when I started. When it was at about 35 deg, I started again with charging it, it started at about 2A and after about 30 mins, had risen to 4.5A. Still not perceptebly warm although not 35 deg either. 1. What is the probability that I will get this charged to power my K2? 2. Should I trash it and just go get another and be more careful in the future? 3. If I just let it float on the 13V voltage regulated supply, what are the odds I'll set the house afire or have a major chemical explosion? 4. Is there some charging protocol I could use to try to resurrect this heavy rectangular thing. 73, Fred K6DGW Auburn CA CM98lw ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] December RFTB
This Sunday evening, the Flying Pigs Amateur Radio Club International will be holding it's monthly Run For The Bacon. This is a friendly, two hour QRP CW Sprint, which is open to ALL radio amateurs, will last from 9:00 - 11:00PM EST (0200-0400 UTC Monday). You may work stations once per band on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 or 10 Meters. Suggested starting frequencies are 1.812, 3.562, 7.044, 14.062, 21.062, and 28.062 MHz. The exchange is RST, S/P/C (State, Province, Country) and Flying Pigs membership number. If you're not a member of the Flying Pigs, and would like to be; then please click on the "membership" hyperlink on http://www.fpqrp.com/. Otherwise, non-members can just use their output power figure. You can report your score via the Autolog page which can be found at :http://www.fpqrp.com/fpqrprun.html; or you can mail your logs to the address given on the Autolog page. The deadline for logs is November 27th at 2400 UTC. As like last month, the top three scorers will win a certificate, which will be suitable for framing. Hope to catch you on the air Sunday evening! 72 es "oo" Larry W2LJ FP#612 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] K2 Frequency Calibration
Samuel, I can only add to what Ron has already stated that in addition to setting the reference oscillator correctly then running CAL PLL, you must also run CAL FIL to store the proper BFO values in the EEPROM. Take a look at the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website http://w3fpr.qrprqdio.com for a complete description of the entire process.

RE: [Elecraft] K2 Frequency Calibration
No, that's not "normal", Samuel. You can get frequencies within 20 or 30 Hz on your K2. For example, my K2 indicates 10.000.01 right now for WWV at 10 MHz. That's an error or 10 Hz. Two things can cause the error: operating procedure and the calibration of the 4MHz master oscillator in the K2. The K2 calibrates the dial readout using the 4 MHz master oscillator on the control board as the reference for a built-in frequency counter. That's why the setup procedure for CAL PLL and CAL FIL requires connecting a probe to the PLL oscillator and BFO. The PLL oscillator frequency is measured when you run CAL PLL, and the BFO is measured when you do CAL FIL. There are a number of ways to set the 4 MHz "dead on" without any external test equipment. They can be found under the "builders resources" section of the Elecraft web site (www.elecraft.com). See "Notes on Adjusting C22 to put the K2 on Frequency" under Construction Notes. Once you have done that your frequency display should be within 20 or 30 Hz across all the bands. It does take proper operating procedure, however. The easiest was to be sure you have a station properly tuned in is to zero beat the carrier with sidetone in CW mode. An alternative, if you can hear subtle changes in musical pitch, is to tune in WWV and adjust the tuning for minimum change of the tone frequency as you switch from USB to LSB. Both of them should produce an frequency error of a few tens of Hz, not more.

[Elecraft] Polar Bear Event Link to Samuel Morse!
Hello all, This Polar Bear Xmas Event is turning out to be something special. It looks like the reporter who will be up on the mountain with us is related to Samuel Morse! She just sent Ron, WB3AAL, an email with the news. So when you make a CW contact with a Pulpit Rock Polar Bear on Saturday, remember that one of his descendents will be watching! I plan to include a special " Morse Logo" on the certificate to celebrate this fact. It will be the Morse Coat-of Arms. This is a very special logo and we will not do it again for a long time. So try to bag a bear on Saturday and remember that a Morse will be listening! 72, Ed, WA3WSJ ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] FW: K2/100 SWR accuracy
Carl, Yes, the ALC power leveling will cause jumps in TUNE mode, I try to work fast enough to work with it - it will settle down after a bit, but try that only at lower power levels (35 watts and below) where the KPA100 is rated for continuous duty cycle. Make up a graph of RF voltage vs. calculated power and put it at your work area - that way you can monitor the RF Voltage and determine the actual power at a glance (make it a big chart so it can be easily seen). If you are using an RF Probe, enter the RMS voltage values, but if you are using a 'scope, enter the peak to peak voltages. Formulas: Vrms^2/R = Power Vpp^2/8R = Power or for a 50 ohm load Power = Vpp^2/400 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > Here is a bit of follow up info, and preliminary results. > > I got a bunch of input and suggestions - all are appreciated. > > The covers are off, and the K2/100 is spread out all over my shack.

Re: [Elecraft] FW: K2/100 SWR accuracy
Here is a bit of follow up info, and preliminary results. I got a bunch of input and suggestions - all are appreciated. The covers are off, and the K2/100 is spread out all over my shack. The setting of C1 was checked, and I do now recall that the "sweet spot" is really hard to find using the first method in the manual. The range over which an indicated 1.0 SWR is displayed is much to large. I used the alternate method of measuring the TP4 null voltage, and seem to have a bit better results. My first choice of a DVM was one with 2-1/2 digit resolution (e.g. the smallest digit displayed is an integer millivolt). Then I tried a higher-end Fluke meter with two orders of magnitude better resolution. I found the adjustment of C1 could be significantly improved. This is not possible using the K2 SWR indication only, or using a cheap DVM with typical hardware store accuracy I am still awaiting the arrival of some non-inductive resistors so my wattmeter settings can be refined. In the meantime, I have been tweaking R26 and R27 in an attempt to get things working a bit better. The one problem I am still rassling with is the K2s tendency to change its power output in the tune mode. Just as I am about to zero in on a power setting - lets say 30 watts as indicated by an external and trusted wattmeter, the actual power output from the K2 jumps around - up and down, back and forth - by several watts. I am left chasing the setting allover the place from 20 to 40 watts. This is really driving me nuts!I suspect this is what may have led me to buttoning the K2 up a couple of years ago before I had done my best calibrating power output and SWR indications.

[Elecraft] Polar Bear Madness December 2005 Run
Hello, This Saturday, Dec. 17th we plan on having another Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Run. The actual full moon is on Dec. 15th but we are going to do it on the weekend. The weather is going to be cold and clear so we should have a good view of the moon for operations. So far there are 11 different Polar Bear station that will be on the air. There will be a reporter from the Allentown, PA Morning Call newspaper at the Pulpit Rock location. If you did not hear about the interview I had on the Amateur Radio Newsline this past week you can check it out on the EPA QRP Club web page. All details about operation and the Amateur Radio Newsline interview can be found at www.n3epa.org and click on the Polar Bear Events link. For details on the Saturday operation click on the December link once in the Polar Bear page. There will be a lot of Elecraft rigs being used by Polar Bears!! 72 and Thanks, Ron Polityka WB3AAL www.wb3aal.com www.n3epa.org/ K1 - SN 01011 K2 - SN 01392 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
