For general day to day operating, I normally use the K2 in SPLIT mode

What commands do these programs send to the K2 when you click on a spot?
That is the first question. If the documentation doesn't say, and the vendor
won't tell, then you'll have to put a sniffer on it.
Only after you find a command string that has an unexpected result can you
say there is a
I am going to finishing the SSB board (with the QRP-Project modification
included) in some days, as soon as the parts I need arrived.
I have several microphones I could use, so maybe you can give me some
advice.

Hi,
I was monitoring the K2's local oscillator frequency and I noticed that as I
tune to WWV in the various modes, that the LO frequency is different at zero
beat. I expected an offset (w/respect to SSB) in the CW mode but I expected
the LO to be the same at zero beat whether I was in LSB
Thanks for your quick reply Dan.
Logger 32 has a Radio Debug Window which shows the commands and
replies going between Logger 32 and the K2.
When I click on a DX spot, Logger 32 sends the following message to
the K2:
Set Radio Freq/Mode : FR0;FA0001808;MD3;FA0001808;

Mike,
Which oscillator are you referring to as local Oscillator? If you are
referring to the BFO, then it should be different from LSB to USB because
that is the way the sidebands are switched.
If you are referring to the VCO, then you must be retuning if that changes
between LSB and USB - if
Chris,
The K2 is operating properly - apparently Logger 32 programmers wanted Split
to be cancelled or they would not have sent that string of commands.
The KIO2 Programmers Reference clearly indicates that the 'FR' command
always cancels Split mode.

Hi
Here is a way to check the alignment of the filters. Assuming a 600 Hz
sidetone tune to 4.000 MHz in CW normal mode You should hear the 4 MHz
internal oscillator as a 600 Hz tone, Switch to each filter and the tone
should not change frequency by more than a few hertz. Then switch to CW
I would say you have a software issue and not a hardware one. I have no
problems setting splits on the K2.
If the command you listed is the one for split it will not function. They
are not doing the FB so its useless.
K2 has a split button emulation SW26 but appears they are not using this.
Thanks to Don, Dan and Rich for their explanations of this problem.
Whilst noting what Don says about Logger 32 not sending the TX and RX
information for each of the K2's VFOs, and that being the reason it
will not work effectively, it cannot be the reason why it won't work
with N1MM. N1MM
So sniff it!
If you don't have a network sniffer (most don't), you can use another PC (or
laptop). Configure Hyperterm to look like a K2, hook up the cable, and tell
the logger to do the spot. The commands will appear on the screen!
If the software won't do the spot without first communicating
Hi, Mike.
I noticed exactly the same thing here. In fact the
passband ripple of my KX1 is pretty bad, 600Hz is
actually in a trough not a peak! And when I narrow
the filter to the narrowest setting it centers on
around 480Hz.
Neither of these is a fairly significant issue in
practice though.
So sniff it!

PortMon does the same thing without using another PC.
Hi, Chuck.
I'm just curious - did you have the 30m option already installed, and was
it easy to unsolder it? If so, did you use solder braid or a plunge vacuum
desoldering tool? How did that go?
Thanks,
Martin.

I'm in the process of designing a USB interface board for my K2 and I have a
technical question concerning the /DOT-PTT signal in the K2. The signal
goes into Port D of the PIC processor. PTT is grounded when the microphone
is keyed yet I don't see a pull-up resistor on the signal. I believe Port

I guess I will wait until Dayton to view the new 80M module for the KX1. But I
have to ask, if it hasn't been asked already...what about 160M? Operating 160M
QRP is, well, not easy. But I think that the KX1 would be interesting on 160M.
I guess I might wait for the 1608030 module...

Hello all!
Look for N7UN, WA3WSJ and maybe NU3E to hike the DWG and play radio.
We plan to start the hike on the AT near the Delaware River at the NJ

State Forest. We will climb the AT some 900' and camp some three miles
into

was younger fiddling with desoldering braids and ruining PC

If the battery switch is turned off, and 13.8 volts in plugged into the K2
will the radio come on if the on switch in pressed? Or another way of
asking, If I have the radio plugged in to external power and I turn the
batter switch off, does that turn off the K2.
