I would have to have a lot more data for a more definite analysis, but one
thing that can cause 'funny' power readings is the diodes in the ATU

For ssb tune 28300 up to perhaps
29000.When activity is thin, I

There are many cw beacon stations

Here in western Europe, there's some propagation in the evening, just before

In my area, I have heard SSB signals 28.25 to 28.45. A local club uses
28.337 SSB. Another club runs CW practice on 28.150. A third club used
28.090 for CW/RTTY/DIGITAL. Most of this is local communication but, others
have joined the conversation as band conditions allow.

10 meters is a great band! It's very quiet, generally, which bodes well
for QRP during band openings. I once worked Argentina from Pennsylvania

The K2 has one of the best IF sections around. Because it is so good, it

Hi Kev,
Same as normal scanning, but hold the PFx button in for two seconds
until you see AF ON on the display.
If you don't see this, you'll need new firmware.
73,
Arie,
First, welcome and congratulations on becoming a new ham.
If you look at the value of R18 and R19 (on the schematic), you will find
they are zero ohms - in other words, the jumpers are the 'resistors' - you
will find no zero ohm resistors in the kit parts, simply use jumper wires.
Note
Fred
Another consideration is the current drawn by the DSP unit, if you intend to
operate your K2 from the internal battery option a fully loaded K2 (including
DSP) can approach 350 mA.
