2004-12-31 Thread Tom Althoff
I've decided to leave my K2 as a K2/100 and order a KAT100-1 to set it on. So if anyone is thinking about adding the KAT2 or KBT2 to their K2 I am selling my old cover. It has the KAT2 auto-tuner and the KBT2 internal battery option installed. The KBT2 is less than 3 months old. I'm

[Elecraft] KSB2 firmware versions

2004-12-31 Thread Tom Althoff
I have version 1.02 of the KSB2 firmware installed in my K2/100. I have no intention of adding the K60XV. What changes have been made between 1.02 and 1.08? I see mention that 1.04 added support for the KPA-100. I wonder what problems the KPA-100 has when used with version 1.02 of

[Elecraft] Max DC supply voltage for KX-1

2004-12-31 Thread david feldman
Is the KX-1 capable of operating from twelve NiMh cells (~16-17V at full charge?) without being damaged? Interested in using it self contained (six AA NiMh cells) or with additional supply voltage (more cells) added externally and wired in series with the internal cells, and wonder what the
