RE: [Elecraft] KPA800 @ $2.8k: count me in/out
Well let's see. My first rig was a Collins S-line in the 1960s. It cost about $1700 then. What would that money buy me now as far as radios go? Oh yes, the Piper Comanche B was less than $50,000 and a car was around $2500. As I recall not seeing, it hasn't been announced yet. Isn't everyone (including me) jumping the gun a little?

Re: [Elecraft] k2 control board r18, r19
If you knew the value of the 'resistors' that were going to live there, and you had them in your stash, you could install them in the proper place and put a jumper across them on the other side of the board. Then when it came time to install the other board, just clip the jumpers (or unsolder if you are a neat freak), which would be easier with a regular soldering iron. This won't work in all cases since sometimes you might be installing a jumper header instead of a cap or resistor. If this isn't your cup-o-tea, then don't lay the original jumper that close to the board and make it easy to clip in half. Then all you have to do is heat the connection and LIGHTLY pull on the jumper with a pair of small forceps or needle nose pliers and then clean the hole with the Hakko. It's easier to clean out a hole with nothing in it than to try to force a lead out of a hole with insufficent heat. NRE/COLE Test Center OH-3 pcarteratgcfn.org or wd8qwratarrl.net Philip L.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 mic hole plug specs?
I thought for sure that my K2 came with the mic jack (#370). It's been so long I can't remember for sure. I did get some plastic hole plugs for the unused holes on the back panel from a hardware store that snapped in and worked great until I finished filling them all with accessories.

Re: [Elecraft] DMM test leads
Probably not a problem. However, if you plan to do surrent measurements, the outer ring of the shrouded banana plug may actually engage a shunt switch or other device so that all the current doesn't go thru the meter. It was this way on my Beckman meters. NRE/COLE Test Center OH-3 pcarteratgcfn.org or wd8qwratarrl.net Philip L.

Re: [Elecraft] K2/100 current consumption problem
What does the K2 w/o the PA pull compared to the other bands? It could be lack of drive, making the 100w PA less efficient. Are these measurements made on a dummy load or the antenna? Is a tuner involved? Were the PA mounting screws retightened as required? Is the PA and rig in the same box? NRE/COLE Test Center OH-3 pcarteratgcfn.org or wd8qwratarrl.net Philip L.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: IC pins
As for the bail: Tie a peice of twine around the bail and use a screwdriver or something like that to tighten it like a turniquet (not too tight). Insert it in the holes and loosen the turniquet. If you tighten it too much or keep it that way for too long, you will change the shape of the bail. Worked well for all the ones I have done.

Re: [Elecraft] KIO2 simplex?
Tom: Sounds like the computer side of the cable needs the CTS signal jumper, or maybe the computer needs the rts signals turned off. Also check the 10 uh choke on the kio2.

Is the PORT turned on in the K2? I think it is on the SEC menu. Also, the amp must be powered up first, if it is separately powered from the rig.

Re: [Elecraft] internal battery and powersupply or external battery
You are correct. The power supply must be about 14.2 volts because of the diode protection in the rig. You loose some voltage across it. Internal battery will not discharge to the power supply because of the diode. Phil K2#370 NRE/COLE Test Center OH-3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philip L.

Re: [Elecraft] Need help to cope with the K2-KPA100 Info 080 message
Pauli, Is it possible that you popped the 150uH (I think) choke in the rs232 part of the KPA100 when you had it out? If everything else is working, It has to be in either the KPA100 or maybe in the menu setting for the PA. This of course assumes that you have the cable correct that hooks everything together and that it isn't too long. -- Phil Carter, WD8QWR QRPARCI #9986, CQRP #3 Fists #6514, FP #262 QCWA #32302 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
