We'd like to thank Gary and Ken for creating this interesting
alternative for dealing with K2 options.
However, to avoid potential confusion, we want K2 builders to know they
*can* build the K2 successfully using only our assembly manual. Nearly
all of them, so far, have been built this way.
I just installed the backlight kit, and it's great!
I put up some pictures at my website: http://www.n2htt.net/K1/index.html
This is a terrific mod!

I'm glad you like the backlight, Tom.

Tom,
The KRC2 is just great - lots of function and opportunities for you to be
creative with your antenna switching.
I worked out a plan for automatically switching my antennas with it - and I
am switching a lot of antennas in 3 selection banks (some even appear in
more than one bank). The KRC2
Hi Tom
My KRC2 is in constant use in my shack with my K2.
I have a homebuilt box that does antenna switching
and switches the antenna matching networks as well.
I use tuned feeders on all bands except 160, so each
band has to be matched separately. The KRC2 controls
it all very well.

Well, I tried to check in. I heard Kevin (most of the time) and maybe 2
other stations. I guess I'll have to wait until I get a real antenna.

I'm experiencing low power out (on K2 front panel anyway) when using a
transverter connected to the XV60/Transverter Adapter.
When set to P .5 (1/2 mw), the K2 front panel reports P .09 LP instead
of P .5 LP. The 28MHz band always puts out the requested power.
I checked the voltage at V PWR
I just took a certification class at work for IPC-610(D) whihc is for
solder inspection. So, I'm now authorized to answer your question! The
method of bending the leads over is called cinching the leads and is
acceptable as long as the component lead does not get close to other
circuit

That was fun! On forty it appears the well was deeper and more full

I generally just hold the part down with one hand, touch the iron to
the solder to get a little dab on the tip, and then tack down one lead.
After that, the part will generally stay in place and you can solder the
rest of the pins. Do be sure to re-solder that first lead as the tack is

My question concerns what pitch is easier to copy
when receiving fast cw when no qrm is present.
There has been research on the topic of sidetone and level. It concluded
with 500 Hz and in some cases even lower tones to be favorable in noise free
environments.
