[Elecraft] KX1 bad AF gain pot?

Folks : I have noticed that the AF gain on my KX1 is growing increasingly scratchy. I guess that this probably means that the POT is on its last legs. I am curious if anyone has had similar problems with these pots? Michael VE3WMB P.S. I have ruled out physical damage to the part as I keep

Re: [Elecraft] USB to Serial converter

I have used a USB-Com adapter for keying CW on the K2 using N3FJP contest software. Keying is generally smooth, but occasionally some dits and dahs get stretched a little bit due to busy windows tasks in the laptop. K1EL's WinKey CW Keying Kit offers a good solution for using the USB port

[Elecraft] K2: MH-2 Microphone and KSB2 Increased Gain Modification

Based on what I've read, it appears that the MH-2 microphone's gain is well matched to the K2's KSB2 module. In as much, would there be any benefit to implementing KI6WX's Increased Gain and Reduced IMD modifications when using an MH-2? Thanks, Michael N9BDF K2 #4137
