That looks about right Jim. I especially like the implementation with the
tuning capacitor from the Command receiver. I have built several similar
ones in my time, some are still in the garage attic, but most have been
stripped for parts for another project.

Rolf,
Unless there is something wrong with your KSB2, adjusting the carrier
balance pot on the SSB board will yield good carrier suppression.
If you have a 'scope, connect a dummy load to the K2 and connect a 'scope
10X probe across it - do not connect a mic, but use the DOT paddle line to
Rgr that, Bill. 73 and have a good holiday everyone.

That voltage appears to be lower than I would expect - but do you have the
KPA100 mounted in the EC2 enclosure with the KAT100 or are you connecting
the ribbon cable directly to the K2?
You may want to check the continuity on the 8R signal as it comes from the
K2 - it should be close to

Bill,
You do not need a keyer paddle - use the old trick of 'shorting 2 wires
together' as a substitute for a paddle.
There is a 3mm stereo plug that is included with your K2 kit - it has no
purpose other than to be used for a paddle jack - solder one wire onto the
tip lug (that is the DOT line)

John,
The PA Transistor Test values will vary depending on your particular DMM -
some will show forward voltage while others will show ohms. Your .55
reading on the base to emitter with the probes either way would indicate
something to be concerned about - but since you are testing in-circuit,
Fred,
You can have most of your desire list right now - just try coupling the K2
up with N4PY software or Ham Radio Deluxe. With either program, you have
the display that you are asking about and one can either use the K2 buttons
to change things or you can click the mouse on the software
