Re: [Elecraft] Simple question about the K2
Ahoj, If You are looking to change the electronics keyer in K2 then it is done by front panel control knob Keyer. When you turn this control, keyer speed in words per minute (WPM) will be displayed, e.g. S P D 1 8 . The speed can be set from about 9 to 50 WPM. (see page 84 of the Owner's manual) If You are looking for T/R delay setting to decrease reaction time of the QSK then Break-in (QSK) delay then it is possible in the T-R manu option. A setting of 0 . 0 0 is fastest, although you may prefer the break-in sound with 0 . 0 1 selected, especially when using headphones. 0 . 0 5 is about right for casual operation. You can select a longer delay (up to 2.5 seconds) for slower CW work or to prevent un-muting when sending a repeating beacon message. (see page 86 and 96 of the Owner's manual) 73 - Petr, OK1RP Hector Padron wrote: Maybe I am blind but I have been reading the factory manual and also the nifty manual that came with my K2 that arrived yesterday morning and I am really enchanted with it but I can't find anywhere how to change the CW keyer speed,I am a qsk op and I need to set it up faster,can anyone tell me how to set it up?

Thanks Use the 'KEYER' knob, the top left hand one of the group of four left of the tuning knob.

Thanks I'm assuming you mean either faster than the 50 wpm that the knob goes to, or how do you adjust the QSK / break-in value. If I remember correctly you can key the rig up to about 70 WPM using an external keyer, but due to the fact that the CPU is controlling the keying (and loads of other stuff), this really is the max value for high speed operating on the K2. If you're talking about the break-in delay for QSK, I think there's a menu setting for it -- hit Edit, then scroll through the menus using the VFO knob until you reach t-r whose default I think was .02 (seconds). If you're looking for Corsair II like QSK on the K2, I don't think the K2 can match it. Then again, not much can :) --Andrew, NV1B __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] Simple question about the K2
Hi Hector, Not sure what you are asking about but if just keyer speed it as someone else pointed out, theKeyer knob on the front panel. You do mention that you want to use QSK, if you are referring to speeding up the QSK that is mentioned in the Nifty manual on page 11, Setting the Break-in (QSK) delay It is also again mentioned on page 22 as a primary menu item T-R. At least that is correct for my version of the Nifty manual, there may be other versions out there. 73, Bob K2TK Hector Padron wrote: Maybe I am blind but I have been reading the factory manual and also the nifty manual that came with my K2 that arrived yesterday morning and I am really enchanted with it but I can't find anywhere how to change the CW keyer speed,I am a qsk op and I need to set it up faster,can anyone tell me how to set it up?
