Kevin, By my rough estimate: 2200Z - 8 hours (Pacfic Time Zone difference) = 1400 local time. I believe that is 2 pm ? I could be wrong, I have always had trouble with globes, degrees/min/secs, and adding it all up. Brian n6iz Kevin Rock wrote: Good Evening, The annual clock

[Elecraft] KSB2 toroids (T1 T2)

I'm in the process of winding T1 and T2 for the KSB2. The illustration shows that winding 1-2 is wound in the opposite direction from 3-4. Is this correct? All of the toroids in the K2 have 1-2 and 3-4 in the same direction. I only noticed this because in the K2 the green wire fit nicely in

Hi, Brian- It is fine to allow the secondary windings of KSB2 T1,T2 to nest with their respective primary windings. In other words, listen to your instincts and wind them in the same direction. In this instance, the sense of the primary in relation to its secondary is unimportant. 73,

My K2 AF gain knob is getting really wobbly, and seems to be getting worse. I pulled the knob off and took a look. The plastic shaft on the pot is getting loose where it fits into the metal body of the pot. Looks like I'll need a new pot. I just built the K2 this summer, so it's still quite new.
