Hi Ken,
Like you I found my microphone didn't have enough output to drive my K2. Then
I built an external audio preamplifier-equalizer and things really improved.
You'll find the equalizer's schematic diagram in my Web site :

Wayne N6KR mentioned the following in a discussion about cable length
between a K2/(100) and a remoted KAT-100

are
unstable with the long KAT100 control cable, you can disconnect the VRFDET
wire at both ends of the

auto-sensing of the paddle as in the K2.
That's because the K1 keyer does NOT have the ADn and ADr auto-detect
feature.
However, the K1 quick reference card on Elecraft's site at

The K1 should arrive next week. I see a lot of mods got incorporated...
There is mention of shortening the AGC response time by swapping
a 1.0uf for the original 2.2uf.Did that mod make it to the current
production units as well?
No, I don't think Elecraft has embraced that
Kevin,
You will be pleased with it. I was amazed at the low cost, and also
the prompt shipping.

excellent

Hello readers.
If your recall some months ago, I was looking for some leather cases
for my K2.
Unfortunately, they are a bit pricey for what I was looking for.
However, I've come across this fellow who makes great looking paddles.
In one of his pages, I spied a K1 with what he calls Armor
First of all..my appologies for hijacking the KIO2 Wanted thread. It was
unintentional. I often do a quick reply all to a previous post, delete
the body and subject of the e-mail and make a new post. I forgot to change
the subject on this to be more fitting.

Hi All,
Anybody on the list have and experience with using a K2/100
with a Microham keyer on RTTY ?? using Writelog with MMTTY
If so, I would be intrested in your settings you use to key up the K2,
have had no success so far getting it to work on RTTY

I am sorry folks there
OK. I'm hoping someone has seen this before I start tearing into things
(and tearing my hair out).
My K2 started to lose power yesterday. Within an hour, the output
dropped to close to zero (1mW on 160m, 40mW on 10m). There are no signs
of distress or burning odors.
I checked the ALC...
Larry,
Exactly where are the RF levels higher than normal? Obviously not at the
output of the Low Pass filter or you would have power output (unless you
have the tuner and have set it to ANT2 instead of ANT1 or something like
that).
With the requested power set at 5 watts, send us the RF
Hi Don. The levels are high everywhere in the chain up through the bases
of Q7-8. Requested power is immaterial in this case, since the ALC sees
zero detected power, and therefore is pegged at 5v all the time.
I measured the levels with a scope, and divided the p-p values by 2.82
to compare
