[Elecraft] Unused back panel holes

Hi All, Regarding the unused holes on the K2 back-panel.. I've been thinking about plugging these with rubber plugs, as I think the holes/green tape looks a little unsightly. I wonder if anyone has done this, and whether anyone knows a source of plugs that are suitable and the correct size. I'm

RE: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Manuel, No need to re-do the alignment. Later, you will re-peak L1 and L2 in the transmit mode as a final step which provides a more defined peak than one can hear in receive. A signal generator will not be required. If you tuned L34 with the weak 7000 kHz birdie as instructed in the manual,

[Elecraft] Digital mode interface

To all you PSK-31 folks out there. If you haven't adapted a computer interface yet here's an idea. I just finished adding an interface very similar to Tom Hammond's circuit that's posted on the elecraft page to my K2. The only difference is that I pass the audio signal to unused pin-8 of the

RE: [Elecraft] Unused back panel holes

David Why not plug them with appropriate connectors. Seeing those idle connectors just sitting there might give you some ideas for a useful mod :-) 73, Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Douglass

RE: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Hola Manuel A suggestion. Place a dot of white paint on one end of each plug-in rework eliminator and a matching dot on the same end of the receptacle that it plugs in to. This will ensure that you always plug them in the correct way. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude

[Elecraft] Another K1 10 meter project

I'm launched on experiment to put K1 on 10 meters -- using 26.170 MHz xtal at Wayne's suggestion (and generous contribution). This should make the whole project easier with lower frequency crystal and more premix output, but I've run into a snag and seek some advice. Instrumentation here is

Re: [Elecraft] Another K1 10 meter project

Hi Bill, I found that jumpering the BPF or even the LPF when testing, gave me results similar to what you are seeing. I didn't start to see useful results until I had all the parts for all three filter sections completed. Do you have the LPF set up completely? I'm not in a position at

RE: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Hi Bob, Thanks for the suggestion. However, the solution is actually way simpler than that. All of our un-modules already have a silk-screened pin 1 indicator adjacent to every male header. Although the K2 RF board silkscreen lacks a pin one indicator at RF-J14, when properly installed

Hello Fred, The updates issued by Microsoft fix security flaws and other bugs in Windows. It is more safe to install them than not to. It is also best to install them as soon as possible after they are released by Microsoft, because computer criminals often use the information in the security

[Elecraft] Spectrogram help

Old age must be kicking in :( I originally aligned the K2 using Spectrogram and it worked great. I am doing a realignment and am lost. I am running a DSP unit and it appears that Toms instructions say that if you are running either DSP or Audio options you need to turn the AFIL off in the K2

Re: [Elecraft] Spectrogram help

Well to start, I dont see a AFIL in the K2 menu and dont see any switches, jumpers, etc on the DSP board. Put the DSP in BYPASS mode. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the

RE: [Elecraft] Spectrogram help

Rich, Rather than attempting to walk you through the steps to bypass the KDSP2 (it is in the KDSP2 menu which is kicked in with the DISPLAY button, not AFIL). I suggest you drag out the KDSP2 manual and follow the instructions to put it into bypass state. Actually, I never remember the exact

RE: [Elecraft] Unused back panel holes

David, I did exactly what Bob is suggesting, and I used one of the extra ports to connect my small regulated power supply to keep the K2 internal battery fully charged. I use a 50A - 13.6 VDC power supply and battery system to operate most of my station equipment including a repeater, but 13.6V

[Elecraft] Embarassing

Well, I'm afraid to raise my head after this. About two weeks ago I raised the question here on the reflector about realigning my K2. My initial alignment had went relatively well but did not use Spectogram. After encouragement from several people to give it a go I dived right in. It went real

RE: [Elecraft] Unused back panel holes

Bill, That is FB, but just one additional comment - if you are connecting that supply directly to the battery, you should lower the voltage to about 13.8 volts for a proper float charge - OTOH, if the supply is connected to the battery through a protective diode, your 14.25 volt supply is
