Re: [Elecraft] K2 - (K2-100)
I have a RS232 cable which I made for another project. I plan to change one of the DB9 connectors to a male version. In essence it will end up being the cable that is shown in Figure 41 of the K2/100 manual, page 55. My computer has a RS232 port and the female end of this cable will go directly to this port. The male end shell will have to be notched since the socket at the rear of the K2 has a bump/tab which prevents someone from plugging in a wrong cable. I am almost positive this mod was designed by N0SS but I can not seem to find where I saw it.

[Elecraft] K2 - (K2-100) aux I/O
I have a K2 with the 100W, K2/100, mounted in the top. I want to obtain a RS232 cable with male DB9 on one end and female on the other. In order to make the connection in the back or the K2 it seems the male plug needs to be modified. That is a slot cut so that it fits the key/tab that is on the connector mounted in the back of the K2/100. Is there any problem with this as long as the cable just has the typical 3 wires for RS232 data? Thanks.

[Elecraft] K2 with KPA-100
I should have first stated that I do not have any K2 or any amplifiers or tuners. Just asking questions in anticipation of getting a K2. Reading manuals and seeing photos of k2s is not as good as seeing the actual unit. I am aware that the top of the KPA-100 is a black fined heat sink. I was not aware that the KAT2 could not fit below it. Now I know why Elecraft came out with the K3. Confusion reigns at least for me. Think I will just get a KX3 which is very much like my K3 which I have had for over 10 years. Thanks to every one who responded. 73, Gene W2BXR __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] K2 with KPA-100
For a portable operation: Can anyone tell me if I have a K2 with the KPA-100 and the KAT2 low power auto tuner installed can it be operated at say 35 watts. I will have a battery large enough to supply power. (Will not use this setup at 100W). Will the tuner work OK? I've been hunting thru the archives trying to find an answer but it has eluded me. Thank you.

[Elecraft] K3-XMIT button not working in DATA-A mode
Problem has been solved. K3 is working OK. The settings for the WJST-X F8 mode software were not correct. Also the MIC output from my computer was not working properly.

[Elecraft] XMIT button not working in DATA-A mode
K3 -- While in Data-A mode, I press the XMIT button and the unit does not transmit fully. It sort of goes into oscillation is the best I can describe it. I am transmitting into a dummy load at about 20 watts. I first noticed this while using WJST F8. At that time I thought this was feed back since I rearranged my shack somewhat. Has any had this problem? Thanks.

[Elecraft] K3-- Not turning off
Recently rearranged the operating position in my shack. Now when operating JT65 or F8 I can activate transmit button but it "motorboats" when I try to turn it off. I need to hit the XMIT button to turn it off. I must have a cable in the wrong position. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

[Elecraft] Freq. offset?? -- K3
I believe I solved the problem. It seems in the P3 menu I somehow set the "Ref Cal" value to 700. Perhaps I thought it should be the same as the pitch??? (don't know what the hec I was thinking). In any event I changed this to zero and I am now able to tune to a signal with the K3 and the cursor of the P3 centers at the same frequency. Also now able to tap marker "A", move it to a signal that came up on the P3, tap the knob and the K3 move over to the same signal. Life is good again. Thank you all who responded!

[Elecraft] Freq. offset?? -- K3
Just discovered when trying to copy a strong CW signal the frequency seems to offset. I can see the signal on my P3 at say 7024.000 but I hear the station the strongest at 7025.000. This occurs with either my 1.0khz or 400hz filter. Is there some frequency offset that I may set in error? Thanks.

[Elecraft] K3 Speaker question
Well as you all may have suspected it is operator error after all. It seems I had plugged the speakers into the phone jack. I looked at the back of the K3 I don't know how many times and still. Oh well. 2nd mistake of my life Thanks to Brian, K0DTJ and Vic, VE3YT and others that may have responded.

[Elecraft] K3 Speaker question
Several days ago I posted a question regarding setting the time and about speakers not turning off. I got the time straightened out. When plugging in the headphones the speaker that turns off is the one in the K3 _not _the external Bose speakers I have hooked up. Thanks to all that responded.

[Elecraft] Fwd: K3 --- Head phone/speaker question, time set
Just posted this question. Did not have "K3" on the subject line. I have been off the air for about 10 months and just now trying to set up my K3. I have 2 Bose speakers wired to the K3, (stereo plug in the back of the K3). When I plug headphones into the front panel shouldn't the speakers turn off? They stay on. In the config menu I have the SPKR+PH option set to NO. Also the SPKRS set to 2. What am I missing? One other question. The time is now 02.32. The time shown on the K3 is 02.39.37. I can change the 2 by turning the main VFO dial. How do I change the the other numbers? I am missing something here also.
