A common problem with this sort of device, not just with the K2. Use ferrite
rings on the cable between the MicroHAM and the radio, this should eliminate
the noise.

about power output level

I have rarely found a need to clean the rosin - it doesn't conduct and

If you feel you need to do it, alcohol is relatively safe (use Isopropal in

Have you tried the PA Key Out line to your amp??
Or maybe the PA Key Out is only on the KPA100 module
and not on the basic K2.

I see that a coaxial line arrestor has a gas discharge tube between the center

Hi Nigel,
You did a beautiful job of integrating the T1 into your FT-817.
I would like to point out a much simpler alternative for others who may

One clarification - the BFO used for transmit is always the one associated

in-line for transmit (to do its sideband 'stripping task'), so for proper

I know of at least one AM'er I saw online that ised his K2 as a (n expensive)

You won't find AM'ers always on frequency, as most old vfo's are only
accurate to 5kHz (1kHz with Collins).
I have thought of playing with AM (tx and rx) with a K1 or K2 when I get one.

If you are trying to predict the behavior of lightning, I suggest that you
stop - that stuff is as unpredictable as anything I have run across.
I would think that protection for lightning must consider not only the
differential surge, but the common mode as well.
