[Elecraft] Proper resistance for Q7 collector

I am progressing through debugging the bad resistance reading between ground and the collector of Q7 on the RF board. I have it up to 900 ohms now. The manual says '500' is a passing resistance. What is 'normal'? Is 900 ohms a sign that all is well? 73 de Neal

[Elecraft] SO2R setup

Its an obvious direction that 2 K2s (KK4?) would be a great, desktop-friendly SO2R setup. Anyone with recommendations on the best way to do this (or to simulate the 2 RX/1TX capability of the 7800, Orion, FTDX9000)? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post

N1MM logger has a nice SO2R implementation for 2 radios. It supports 7800, Orion and K2 via Kenwood protocol. It's also free if you want to try it. Larry N8LP Neal Campbell and Sarah Ferrell wrote: Its an obvious direction that 2 K2s (KK4?) would be a great, desktop-friendly SO2R setup.

RE: [Elecraft] SO2R setup

Just as a reminder to those of you who are contemplating SO2R operation with the K2 - the stock K2 cannot properly use PTT for steering between the transceivers when in CW mode because the PTT line is the same as the DOT input. If the SO2R enabled program steer CW by switching the keying, things

Tom, Suggest you look on the www.elecraft.com website under Tech Notes, SP2 Companion External Speaker for the K2, by Dave White VE6DRW. As one of Dave's Product Testers I highly recommend this speaker for your consideration. I intend building one myself sometime this winter. Dave's design

RE: [Elecraft] Proper resistance for Q7 collector

Neal, The exact reading depends on your particular DMM. The only real way to tell is to use your DMM on another K2 and compare (or find someone else using the same DMM). With my K2, I read about 600 ohms when I first apply the test leads and climbs to about 1000 ohms after a time - then

[Elecraft] K2 build time vs. K1

I just finished K1 #1966. I hadn't touched a soldering gun since about 1972 when I built a Heathkit HW 16. The K1 took me just under 30 hours with the 4-band filter board and the ATU. I'm contemplating building a K2 (I'm finding building is addictive -- they should call it Ele-crack) and I'm

[Elecraft] K1 KBT1 option question

Can the KBT1 option be easily removed and the original K1 top cover and speaker re-installed? I would like to be able to easily switch back and forth. I did have a KBT1 a while back but sold it without installing it and I seem to recall the the battery pack was to be hard-wired in. Perhaps the

Re: [Elecraft] SO2R setup

In CT, CTWin, NA contesting programs the PTT delay is used to immediately key the radio (and amp, if used), delay the keying from the program for a user defined time, send the CW from the PC buffer and quickly drop the PTT. PTT delay will not work with the K2 because it is common to the dit
