Hi
Just a reminder that we (G3PJT, G3RXQ and HB9DRV) will be running an
Elecraft K2 Workshop on Saturday 7th October at the RSGB HF Convention
at the Gatwick Worth Hotel close to Gatwick Airport.
So far the agenda looks like:-
- Antenna switch ( G3PJT)
- Keypad (G3PJT)
- 2nd RX controller

Not so in my case. I noticed an S9+ pulsing, popped
on the NB and the
pulsing went away. Traced to a temporary electric
fence in the
neighbours garden. Got to keep the equine terrorists
off my willow
bushes. Why do they always want to eat what is on
the other side
Paolo:
Continuing our discussion on measuring RF inductors, I tested an
inductor I wound on a powdered iron core this morning. 29 turns of #22
wire on a T50-2 (red) core. Nominal value is 4.2 uH if I recall correctly.
HP4342A Q-meter, measured at 7.9 MHz:
Lp = 4.30uH, Q=212
HP4320A RLC
The results when using the Noise blanker has been mixed for me. I dont
have any luck with nearby electric fences. I always need to use the Low
Threshold since the pulse levels are low. Sometimes it works sometimes
it does not. I have the same mixed results on power line noise when the

Craig,
I have electrical fence impulse noise 24/7 unless the neighbors horse is out
feeding on the lawn, then it is off. I find the DSP unit does what you like
to see in your last par. You can customize it to work for various
circumstances, but I am not the expert.

I just called an N4 from New Jersey - that op
was 519 in my stock FL4 filter setting, otherwise
in the noise. I received a sri no copy.
It could be that my ten Watts from my bare K2
wasn't sufficient - but that op heard me.
What good is a superb K2 if the other guy isn't
using one? ;)
Ian,
Mint Condition. Nifty mini-manual for the Elecraft K2.
Reg. $22.50. Will sell for $15.00 plus shipping media mail

I have plenty of audio volume [white noise] but no CW signals.
Almost like no antenna is connected. The antenna is one from my
non-qrp rig so it is okay.

I'm hoping for hopes, that Elecraft Inc. is seriously
considering a new TRANSCEIVER KIT rig for the future.
K3's and all sorts of K2 mods have been discussed
- probably overly so. Having built and used (for
a short time) K2 #5422 this past spring, there's no
question to me, that the quality,
If they do decide I feel the cost will be around $5500 in kit form.

Although you may indeed have an assembly problem, it is difficult to
determine from a distance. Re-check the soldering and check to be certain
that T1 thru T4 have well tinned leads and also have the wires in the
correct holes.
Try injecting a stronger signal (an antenna may not be adequate),
Heh heh heh...this is why we are still waiting for the next
iteration...lack of consensus.
I don't see anything different with your wish list compared to the K2
with options other than the bigger mechanics and GC rx (which I
don't want).
Speaking as a contester (a rare breed among qrpers), my

Adding to Ron's, ZL1TW, comments about Wayne's N6KR excellent method to set
the 4Mhz oscillator using WWV/WWVH or similar reference source:-
I have always found it easier to Zero beat using CW spot and the beat note
between the WWVH and the spot Tone. However YOU MUST remember to switch the
mode

As far as a graphics spectrum display goes, modesty forbids me from

I think we should have some special Almost QSL cards
printed up. They would say:
If you had been using a K2 as well, we would have
QSOed on -Date-, -Time-, -Freq- etc. Your signal was
RST 579 with my K2 connected to a wet noodle. Strange
that you couldn't hear me...
I may make some up
Doug,
Man, I like the way you think!
Guys at Elecraft: what Doug said, ditto for me, OK?

I have a K2 that has been little used since I purchased it in 2005.
It has pretty much all options except for no DSP and no internal battery.
I have a second K2 that has no DSP, no serial control, but has the battery.
I will provide serial number and options list off-list to serious
potential
Personally if Elecraft were to offer a new K3 that was 100 watts output I
would not buy it. 5 watts is all I need.

While I agree the K2 is a great radio, just remember the other station
may have been putting out a whole lot more than 10 Watts. Then it would
make perfect sense for you to hear him, but not vice versa, even if his
radio had as good a receiver.

Good Evening,

Michelangelo Buonarotti would have had a tough time sketching out the
entire ceiling of the Sistine Chapel since he did not paint ON the plaster
but more accurately IN the plaster. Frescos last so long and are
Actually, that was a common practice at the time. The master would
outline the work, paint some of the difficult parts, to be

But Michelangelo didn't do that in the Sistine Chapel. He insisted
on doing
it all himself - and it took *years*.

Hi gang,
If I'm going to be running my K2, QRP version, near its maximum RF output
power, then to what value should I set CAL CUR in order to protect the finals?
Maybe 4.0 A, or is that too high? I'll back the power down, if and when I get
a HI CUR warning.
Thanks 73,
