Have your horizontal lamda/2 wire fed at the other end.
Make the vertical feeding wire (single) the same length.
Voltage feed it on 20 and 40 meters with tuned circuit.

Horizontal wire on 10 meters height is at least 6 dB

If you don't have the stand with the amplifier in it you could easily

job for him as well.

I have an Electrovoice EV 630 microphone that I purchased in 1958 during my
1st broadcast job. I used it for record hops.
For sentimental reasons, I would love to use it with my K2 but the problem
is the dynamic microphone impedance is 50 ohms.
Anyone know where I could purchase a 50 ohm to 600

Hi John,
If are getting poor audio reports with the Proset-K2 this indicates that your

A simple ground stake or single wire counterpoise can be expected to produce

The ground resistance is in series with the radiation resistance. A half

Absolutely, for QRP levels!
With the high impedances come very high RF voltages - voltages in the
hundreds, even thousands of volts. That's why compact ATU's like the
Elecraft ATU's can't handle those impedances - even if they could affect a
match the voltages would destroy the caps, relays and

Does it help to lower level of spot tone?
I use spot often on my K2 3829 and no distortion heard , but I have never
run it on high levels?
I adjust level on spot so an incoming signal blanks it out when pitch is

Folks,
Just an addendum to the announcement. I have received a couple e-mails

Hi Elecrafters,
will there be a KRC2 configuration utility in the near future? I would

I agree your findings may be true. Really depends on what you want the
antenna's to do. On 20 meters I would have to say that you would have to have
a very good dipole to match the G5RV since that is what a G5RV really is. I
don't notice any directivity at all with my G5RV on 40 and 80 or 30
