My signature did come with the gold contacts and work great !
I guess your choice is buying contacts from Piero which are not going to be

Hi, I have just checked my inventory for the KSB2 and seem to be short
of all of the components for mounting on the front panel board, i.e. : -
P1, c4-c8,q3,rp3,rbias and R13,
It seems to me that the parts must all have been in 1 envelope and this
was omitted from my kit. Before I contact
Steve,
Unless something has changed at Elecraft packaging recently, those parts are
mixed in with all the rest (not packaged in a separate envelope). So if you
have sorted all the parts and they are still not present, a note to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] would seem to be in order.

I'm building K2 # 5422 now, and am doing the Front

I believe the parts you are referring to, belong with
the KSB2 option, when and if you ever install one.

They are part of the pieces PC board that is seen in fig. 5-1
That is the switch spacing tool. Part of it are the spacers.

My only excuse is that my construction time is limited and it must have
been 9 months or so since i soldered the missing parts on the control
board and forgot to tick them off in the KSB2 manualas i am only 53

Are those numbers filter widths (i.e. 1.60, 0.80, 0.40 and 0.20), or are
they ham bands? You terminology was a bit confusing to me.
Assuming they are filter widths, first know that a 10 or 20 Hz shift in the
tone when changing filters is normal. While that slight shift can be

That means that your 40 meter band is not tuning at all.
I believe you have the K60XV option installed - enter the menu and set D19

With the K60XV installed, the usual extreme points can be found at 4000 kHz

I just checked the wire I got from http://www.qrpkits.com/magnetwire.html

I have got the habit now on my K2 of turning off the AGC, cranking up the AF
gain and then using the RF gain to control the volume because the AGC has
too much effect on the receiver. I thumbed through the manual and didn't
find any obvious way of adjusting the it. How would I go about reducing

OK looks like it's down there, in the grass. but there. Im more
