Just a note to remind you that SCAG /Scandinavian CW Activity, 30 years old in 2004, has a nice little colorful award if you have worked 30 different countries on 30 meters in 2004 on CW. All that is needed is to (e)mail me an extract of your log showing the details before the end of February.

Hi Jeff, Congrats on finishing your K2 # 3375! Judging by the S/N you've had the kit awhile. Just a tip regarding programming your filters for SSB, be sure to follow the instructions in the K2SB manual, you will get much better results. Have you added the latest mods, if not I recommend that

Bob, I am not certain what they mean by isolated tip unless they are inferring some kind of 'people protection' from electrical shocks - the tip on mine certainly is connected to the ground pin on th eelecrtical cord. 73, Don W3FPR - Original Message - The Soloman 4449 is listed as

[Elecraft] Which Mods Are Applicable??

If this is a repost I apologize. I posted the same question yesterday and have not seen the post or any response. In trying to cover all be bases before order a K2 with many of the bells and whistles I've found reference to modifications. In reviewing the elecraft website I've found a listing

Re: [Elecraft] (no subject)

Hi, all, I believe Isolated Tip refers to the tip being isolated from the power to the heating element, not isolated from ground. If memory serves, this was to distinguish this type from the gun type where the tip was a part of the heating element circuit and had voltage applied to it by a

Re: [Elecraft] Which Mods Are Applicable??

Jim, If you are ordering a new K2 kit, you don't need any of the mods - all the 'standard' ones are already incoprporated into the design. If you have (or are buying) and older K2, look first and most at those mods that have been incorporated into the current K2 design. That number is much

Re: [Elecraft] Which Mods Are Applicable??

Jim: I guess my approach would be to buy and build the basic K2 first. My S/N 3401 just missed having the temperature stability mod included (I think they started with S/N 3425 or so). Anyway, the only mod I ended up making on it was that one. I am totally happy with the radio in that

Re: [Elecraft] SSB adapter, T1

Kevin: That is perfectly ok. If you look at the schematic, one terminal of each side of the transformer is connected to ground. This ties the two windings togethter DC wise but not RF wise. 73 Jim Younce K4ZM K2 SN: 18 ___ Elecraft mailing

[Elecraft] SSB adapter, T1

Thanks to all who responded on what I thought was a problem. You were all right. If I had looked at the schematic I'd have seen that the windings do have continuity for DC. I got into that toroid winding state of mind and didn't think to check the schematic. Thanks and 73 -- R. Kevin Stover
