RE: [Elecraft] K2 DSP vs. Audio Filter

I agree with Ron AC7AC The K2 just by itself for cw is excellent I also have the KDSP2 but don't use it much 73 Robert G3RCE (K2 #5219) --- You might gain some experience with the K2 for a while and decide what there is about the rig without either module that

[Elecraft] update older k2

[Elecraft] F12 Sigma Vertical

I have two of the Sigma 5s here in CX land. They are extremely easy to put together...just a few bolts and wing nuts and I use a cement umbrella base with a sleeve of pvc about 2ft long and just slide the base of the vertical into the pvc. No radials as these are vertical dipoles; 50ft of

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft DSP vs Audio Filter?

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. If the current band conditions don't require the use of the DSP, it can be placed in bypass mode where its

RE: [Elecraft] Elecraft DSP vs Audio Filter?

I'll chime in with my 2 cents... I operate 99.9% CW. I bought the KAF2 before the KDSP2 was released. I originally wanted the KAF2 for both the clock feature and the audio filter feature (I had money then, and wanted as many features as I could get in my K2/QRP). Now I seldom use either the clock

RE: [Elecraft] update older k2

Rich, I suggest you download the K2ATOB instructions and look at the list of changes shown there - there are several 'optional' parts that IMHO should be included as part of the task. In addition to the A to B changes, add the PLL Temperature Stability mod and the Keying Waveshape mod - and

I am performing a K1 transmitter offset alignment as described on page 47 of the manual (Rev C, October 9 2000). According to the manual I should install a jumper between the two OFS pads, disable AGC, set output to 1 watt, and enter Tune mode. At that point I should hear two tones - a sidetone,

I've had one for a couple of years. Right now, ever since Katrina, its been my only HF antenna. Mine is mounted on an old push up pole about 18 ft. above ground. I'm well satisfied with it. If I ever have some more trees grow high enough to put up some wires, I'll probably do that.
