I don't think that electrical contact between the covers and the 2-D blocks is intended to be established by the screw threads...It is established by contact between the unpainted inner surface of the panel and the bare 2-D block when the screw is tightened down...If you check one of the black

Very nice--a Tenna-Dipper on sterolids! You have given me incentive to finally package up my Tenna-Dipper (plus an opportunity to practice reading en français). 73, Bob N7XY On Oct 1, 2005, at 9:24 AM, JEAN-FRANCOIS MENARD wrote: I finally put an analog meter to the kit... can be seen

I can vouch for that. They did an excellent job on my FT-817 with the full OBF/OBP/OPP package and I've got it over here in Iraq right now. My K2 is 2 kits from the top of the building stack, but one of my FT-817s lives in my assault pack ready to go. I'll probably be sending them my other one

Hi All Just to say Hello, I asked a few days ago if anyone wanted to do a deal with a ft857/icom 703 for a K2 well, I had many offers to sell me a K2 so many thanks to all the people that made the offer. In the end I bought one from a member of the list and have today had chance to play with

Congratulations Paul: My K2 is set for 3.8 amps. I don't recall how close that is to getting an overcurrent. I have the KPA100 amp on mine so it may not need to run the low-power section as hot as it might barefoot. I'd not be worried if 4.5 amps does the job for you. NOTE: It is NOT recommended

Paul, Congratulations on your K2 purchase. The AF Gain pot noise first (it is the easiest). If your serial number is less than 3000, you should see if the alternative AF Gain wiring mod has been installed - if not, I suggest installing it first. In the process, you may want to replace the AF

Brett, Tnx for the comments. Tried the antenna today and successfully operated simultaneously with both transceivers on the phone bands. There was some second harmonic noise of the 40 meter transmitter on 20 when an ICOM 746 Pro was used at 100 watts; none when a K2 at 10 watts was used.

I have both here in the shack at the present time. I just finished the K2 for a friend. There is no comparison on the receivers for CW work. For that matter, there is hardly any other radio that can compare to the K2 on CW. For general all around radio that does HF and VHF/UHF, the 817 is hard to
