K2 #0771 is just a week shy of 7 years old.
In that time, except for brief periods of transport to
and from Field Day, and for bench work (upgrades), it
has been powered on continuously.
Yes, that's right, nearly seven years of power-on
time. Zero failures. Never disconnected from an
antenna.
Season Greetings and a very Happy New Year to everybody.

Steve, Comgratulations on the long K2 service.
Reflector friends: Note that Steve does not disconnect his antenna, but you
may not want to 'try this at home' unless you have a lightning protection
system like Steve does - Steve's lightning protection is on a par with that
used by broadcast
Ron,
I've used your toothpick approach, but I found it needs have very small
mass. I have some dental picks (donated by my dentist). Although the pointed
tip is small enough, with the metal handle they have way too much mass and
instantly solidify the solder when it's touched.

Hello,
I am taking advantage of this holiday time to complete the ATU and 30M board
for my KX1. I have a quick question about the ATU install before I solder it
in place.
I just installed the P1, P2 and P3 connectors and wonder if I took the must be

I know it's bad form to reply to your own message, but I think I just found my
own answer in the Errata sheet. It sounds like that gap is ok to be there
So now the question is, how big should the gap be so that I can get it back?

OK . Cal Curr is set to 3.5. I use an MFJ 4125 switching supply. My
display shows 13.4 volts and 0.45 amps with the ribbon cable connected.
Connections are correct at the antenna.
Continuity is good from TP2 to the antenna on all bands.
I get the Hi Curr message before the reading on
FWIW I use very thin domestic sewing needles to clear holes, the melted
solder does not stick to the needle. The main problem is in 'borrowing'
them.
My apology if this has already been suggested, we have many visitors staying
making it difficult for me to keep up with the mail.

Kieth,
The gap is a little more than 1/16 inch and less than 1/8 inch. If you
solder the pins so there is just a bit of the square portion sticking beyond
the ATU board surface that should be close enough.

We are already on Xmas Eve here, of course.

My daughter and I are slowly assembling a KPA100 Rev C. We are at the
alignment and installation resistance checks, and the bases of Q1 and Q2
measure 11.4 ohms. The manual gives 12-16 ohms. Looking at the schematic,
it seems that the resistance for Q2 base should be the resistance of R9

Good point Mario!
I haven't tried wood out of concern for leaving carbonized debris behind in
the solder. So it works eh? I'll have a go at it next time. Maybe it'd help
to dip the tooth pick in the beer first to get it wet.

Kevin,
You are OK - check the Rev D manual and its errata sheet and you will find
the range has been changed to 11 to 16 ohms.

Don,
I was sure that I read 0.9mV on the DMM...but I have made plenty of mistakes
along the way...so I went and double-checked. Yep0.9mV. I guess it is in
good shape.
I hooked it up to my attic dipole and tuned up on 20M and get a reading of 4.2
watts and a SWR of 1.1. I made one

Hi, Kent!
Kindly take one more look at that warning. It is referring to the
internal RF Power Level control (R4 trimmer pot).
The RF Gain pot topside is expected to see much more use and was
selected because it will last a long time.
Merry Christmas!

Kieth,
Good work.
On your antenna tuning situation on 40 meters - it may be that the feedpoint
impedance is outside the range of the KX1 tuner. Yes, the range is limited
by the necessity of small things - and to further compound the situation, as
the frequency does down, the impedance matching
Ron,
By coincidence I had written a few days before your post asking what was
up - er, down - with paddlette.com. I just received a note from
Paddlette owner Bob KI7VY ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) saying that the business
is indeed going strong. He didn't say why the site was down, but if you
Good Evening,
After a week's hiatus I will be back to start the Elecraft CW Net and
pass it around the continent. We got our power back after a week without
it. My Trojan batteries were down to 12.1 volts after starting at 12.7
volts. It took two full days of charging for them to
