Hi,
My K2 is fast approaching it's 5th birthday and soon after I built it I
expressed a wish that it would be nice if VFO's A B retained the mode
they were set for. ie so you could use CW on VFO A and SSB on VFO B
As the K2 was originally regarded as CW only by most,it probably didn't

I see that the advised maximum is 5 watts for RTTY. Is it possible to run up
to 10W for:
a) contest RTTY where the average QSO length is less than a minute?
b) lower duty modes eg PSK31, MFSK and Olivia?
What limits the power, anyway? Is it cooling or the rating of the output
transistors?

Bob,
You might want to take a look at my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com Switchbox
article for some ideas about how to accomplish the switching external to the
K2. The K2 Fixed Audio Output article may also be of interest to you - I no
longer have kits, but I do have boards available.
Phil,
I think you may be referring to my K2 Fixed Audio Output. See my website
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com for details. I no longer have the kits, but I do
have boards available.
Not yet on the website yet, I have successfully mounted the board on the
back of the Control Board in a K2/100 and
If it would be possible to do that (retain mode per VFO) I would like that
very much.

I added a SPDT switch as per an Elecraft suggestion that directs both Ant-1
and Ant-2 to the Ant-1 jack. This gives me two separate

You may have missed the point. The original post was regarding someone

One useful technique often employed here at the MJF Radio Labs to
remove solder from those pesky little holes is to snip off a chunk of
desoldering braid(6-10 mm or so) and position it on the hole with a pair
of tweezers, hemostats, etc. Then, using a hot

I had to replace mine once, it's not as bad as you might think if you
have a big iron. I cut the center conductor wire, then heated the body
of the connector with a large iron until the solder holding it in
