Hi Eric

If you like making kits an alternative to running your K2/10 with a somewhat 
expensive KPA1500 is the HRD500. Its a kit and while I didn’t build one I have 
been using a prototype that Jim Veatch (designer) lent me. Its pretty awesome 
and has an ATU built in.

Note also my fantastic S-Box also works with a K2/10 IF it has the serial I/O 
option AND a key out mod.  The KPA1500 shows 500w out with K2/10 at full tilt 
with QSK!

[Elecraft] N6TV S-Box and Y-Box

2021-01-06 Thread eric norris via Elecraft
This is an unsolicited, whole-hearted endorsement of N6TV's S-Boxes and Y-Box. 
I wish I had taken a picture of the pile of wiring eliminated by my first 
Y-Box.  
Bob recently delivered an S-Box that allows my two K2s (with serial I/O  and 
key-out options), KX2, or KX3 to be connected to a KAT/KPA500 or KPA1500.  The 
playtime options are nearly endless, and I had a blast on Straight Key Night 
using my K2s and HW-16.  Sadly, the chrping, whooping, drifting, and clicking 
Heath HW-16 cannot be supported by the S-Box.
Thanks, Bob!
