Pat, A note to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] should get 2 new non-inductive resistors on their way to you when Scott and Brian get back to work on Monday. If you have not been updated on the information, the capacitor change does not do the trick entirely, the increased value caps are OK, but simply

Can someone tell me what the 10pF axial lead capacitor looks like for the counter probe? I have looked through all of the caps that I have sorted and cannot find an axial lead cap that is obvious. Is this cap in a package that looks like a resistor or inductor? I have to very small beige resistor

[Elecraft] Another K2 lightning story

My K2 (s/n 0892) got zapped when the metal roof of my house was struck. The surge suppressor serving the shack computer failed with an ear-splitting pop, emblazoning it's outline into the floor as a permanent memorial. At the time the K2 was connected to the station ground, to a 100AH

C1 is a regular old brown 103 cap. It's not axial at least as I understand the word. It's always possible I'm looking at the wrong part or I got it wrong, too. But I remember being stumped at the same point you are until I found this particular capacitor. I think it was in the same envelope with

All the indicators say the noise blanker is functioning, I mean it says it's on, but I really don't hear any difference at all. Can't tell a thing. It certainly isn't as good as the ft920. So I'm wondering if maybe I wound the toroids to tight. The first time I wound them the wrong
