Re: [Elecraft] Re: Mod for more AF gain on K2

Although I had adjusted it to 3.80v, when I checked the AGC voltage, I found it had crept up above 3.9v. Since the adjustment happens early on in construction, it's likely that the pot got bumped later. This sequence of calibration could be a cause of reported low audio level in 3000+ K2's. I wo

Re: [Elecraft] K2: Low 10M Output

2004-10-25 Thread David Pratt
The K2 specification in the manual states that the band is 28.0 to 28.8MHz, Michael. Because of the design of the band pass filters, transmitting outside that range will result in a lower power output. I would say that your K2 is operating within spec. 73 David G4DMP In a recent message, Mic

[Elecraft] K2: Low 10M Output

2004-10-25 Thread Michael J. Linden
I've just completed the alignment procedure for my K2 and now find that the radio can not achieve 10w across the 10m band. All other bands easily achieve 10w from one end to the other. I'm running the K2 off of a 13.8V supply. The K2 reports 13.2V on receive and 12.7 - 13.1V on 10m transmit (vari

Ten Tec's 1202 Power and SWR meter kit is a best buy as it can be calibrated for QRP and for QRO, (two scales). It also has two pickups, one for HF and one for VHF/ UHF. Although spec'd only up to 2m, I found it useable for nulls at 440 as well. You can easily change the calibration to suit your

Hi Don: I have been away for several days, and just now read your account of working TX9 under tough conditions. Your experience with the K2 mirrors mine, although you have more equipment! There is a lot I like about my TS-850, but if truth be told, the K2 is my main station rig (and it is still
