For those who asked about cooling. There is no top cover on the KAT-100...the
bottom of the K2 is exposed (providing shielding between the KAT-100 and the
K2) and the position of the aux fan in the DB-9 location blows air across and
up through the ventilation holes in the bottom of the K2.

I have a question about soldering irons for circuit board solderingI have
been using a Solder-it Pro 70 powered by Butane but it develops heat from 750F
to 2500F. I have used it mainly for repair work and adjust it mid range but of
course I am not knowledgable as to what the temp is at
There was a great little $35 tempraturn controlled iron on the reflector
about 2 months ago. Santa brought me one and it's fine. I run it at 700
degrees F. Any hotter is very dangerous. Get one. If you can't find it, let
me know and I'll research the Archives for you.

I just completed my K1 (ser #1949). Using the K1 as a base line for time
and difficulty. Please compare the K2 and KX1. I wish to start looking
at my next project. I like building kits

The K2 was built in Jan 0f 2003 and has seen little use, not because of any

planning to take part in the EQP 2005 from DK0SU again
I got to check if the clubroom is free -- anyone knowing the
official date/time when EQP 2005 takes place?
Any changes within the rules compared to last year?

Subject: DMM Minimum Capacitance Measurements ?
To: Elecraft List
Please,
What is the lowest capacitance value you can measure with the popular DMMs ?
(in picoFarads ?) DMM specs do not spell out what the minimum capacitance is..

Well those pesky IC pins must have behaved themselves because when I switched

All the more exciting because I am doing an audio diary of my build for a

Jim,
I imagine different DMMs have different lower ranges, but what ever the
lower range is, you can measure even smaller capacitors by paralleling them
with one that does fall into the lower range of your particular DMM. First
measure the value of the capacitor that falls within your DMM's
I built up and installed the K60XV module last night and it is another fine
addition to my K2! Worked a station at 5AM and had a nice QSO and he was
impressed by the audio quality of the rig - was using a Heil HC-4 headset.
I have one question, it appears that originally the XVTR output on the

My Radio Shack DMM will accurately measure capacitance as low as 2 or 3 pf.
It has a
Jim, from memory typical DMM's do not have low capacitance ranges. I have a
LCR type portable DMM that has more useful ranges, but is not so good for
voltage and current measurements. It's lowest capacitance range is 200pF
full scale so it's possible to measure C's in the pF region. Over
I'm just so jealous of all those builders experiencing the joy of having
their Elecraft kits come to life while here I sit with nothing to do but
use and enjoy my K2 and KX1. Having built these guys last year, perhaps
it's time to relive the joy of building by selling these units and
starting
I recently replaced the internal battery in my K2. I also tweaked the power
supply so that the correct charging voltage is supplied to the battery.
What a difference! Either the original battery wasn't a winner or the charging
voltage was wrong or BOTH. The new battery lasts a good long time.
I had done this a year or two ago at the suggestion of Gary. I think he
suggested a 14 volt power supply. I had been using a 12 volt supply and the
switch to 13.8 really made a difference.
These things are good to re-visit from time to time, as not everyone may
have caught it the first time

You won't regret buying the LC IIB meter when you can.
It is pretty much the defacto standard among QRP builders.
Good luck and 73

Alas the njqrp e-mail reflector is still down so this announcement is being

here in hopes that NJQRP members will see it.

Food Court in the Forrestal Center in Princeton, NJ as usual. Folks usually
I just received my 2005 calander from Ron N3EPA today, and it is GREAT! Chock
full of Good Stuff!
I encourage everyone to pick one up for the new year. It sure will help bolster
the Elecraft to Elecraft contacts and awards and you'll meet a truly nice bunch
of folks! Only 4 days left, though
I built the three radios in the order listed. KX-1 goes together quickly, but
is a little more challeging in a couple of tight spots than the K1. The K2 just
requires more time. As you well know, nothing is difficult, you just have to
put in the time.
No matter what, don't get in a hurry, just
