A few months ago I maintained a brief correspondence with some on this list
with an interest in a homebrew balanced autotuner. The project is nearing
the point where I will be installing it into a K2 case. At the moment,
though, I am having trouble coming up with a software algorithm that

If you can easily tune the tuner by hand I always teach my
programming students to just watch themselves manually performing the task,
then write down a set of instructions so someone else could do that, and
then write the program to follow those steps.
Seems to me an exhaustive
I picked up a new XG2 mini-module from the friendly folk at the Elecraft
booth at the South-Western Division ARRL Convention here in Riverside CA,
this weekend. I suppose I just need a building fix :-)
Unless I am missing something, there seems to be a couple of errors in the
manual. I am
Resistors are fine. Our club uses 2 each 100K ohm, one for each side of the
ladder line to earth tent stake.
Each resistor is carbon 2w.

with specifics examples concerning CW during Katrina that we are aware of

Johnny,
My wife's rig is a k2/100 with most or all internal accessories and kat100.
She has been quite active in health and welfare traffic handling for Katrina
and has been involved on a regular basis with traffic nets since shortly
after upgrading to general class. She is just starting to
I was wondering if anyone has ever detached the faceplate of a K2?
I've been wanting to try this, and I think a 40 conductor IDE disk drive cable
would be a good starting point -- they should be readily available, and
connectors at each end that should be compatible with the face and chassis
Loaded with goodies professionally done. KK7UQ interface for PSK.Cables
included.
Give me a reasonable offer and I'll pack and ship to your requirments.

I just completed and installed a K60XV in my K2 last evening. I am
not sure if it is propagation, or if my overall gain seems to be down on 75,
60 40. Power output is right up there where it was before the addition, so
I assume (?), maybe incorrectly, that the filters are tuned ok. 60

We've been having history-making solar flares for nearly a week. The HF

I had some health and welfare traffic I wanted to get
onto NTS last week. I have never operated on a
traffic net, and the instructions I found online for
checking into a CW NTS net were complicated and I
didn't feel confident about it. I e-mailed the
traffic to another ham who was active on a
That's kind of what I figured. It just seemed kind of coincidental
that, when I turned on the rig this morning, the noise level was zero, and
the sigs were really faint. Kind of scares ya, you know what I mean?? Noise
levels are back up since the sun came up. I'll have to see what the sigs
Hi Jason and all Elecrafters,
I've been watching the thread regarding CW traffic nets. My suggestion
is to get a copy of the Net Directory from ARRL at your next hamfest or
order one directly from Newington. It lists all nets, both traffic and
casual nets, by frequency, function and scheduled
I didn't even notice the red/green LED, but I did notice the
resistance check at C4 R3 and forgot to report it.
I came to the same conclusion that you did, the resistance check was
wrong, so I just continued. The XG2 works fine. I compared with the
XG1 and have the same output levels.

Several folks have commented that it would be nice to be able to access a
