I'm always puzzled why users would burden themselves with LINUX machines? At one point, back in my Unix days - I had my PC booted with both Windows and Linux. Of course that was 10 years back - but at that point, I couldn't think of any reason to have Linux - aside from the novelty of it.

Hi, I finished the first step of the 80m installation - rewinding L3 on the KX1 board to have more windings. Rather than press on and install the 80m board I'm taking the rig out to play for field day. Should I perform the alignment steps again? Will the KXAT1 need re-aligned? I'm not really

Steve, The best analysis I can offer is that your mic configuration header may not be wired correctly. It is best to check it instead of relying on what someone has said about it. Since this is your 1st K2, and you did not build it, I assume you are not familiar with how it all fits together.

Twelve watts output from my K2/100 on 75 meters will drive my Alpha 99 amp to 1000 watts. My other two transceivers have to put out approx 35 watts to get 1000 watts out (which is normal driving power for this amp to put out 1000 watts). I am using the same amp input coax on all transceivers
