I'm thinking about purchasing KPA100 and KAT100 for my K2.
Is the following true? KAT100 occupies AUX port of KPA100
and makes controlling K2 from PC (MixW etc) impossible.

I have an 718 with the 250 Hz filter. That filter locks down things
quite well, but it also allows blow by with large nearby signals that
make things difficult also. In the short time I have been a CW op, the

Do the kits come with everything to make a Y cable or do you need to
order extra?

OK, the way it works is: The KPA100 (or KIO2) comes with a cable and 2
connectors (and backshells) to build the cable to connect to the
computer. The KAT100 kit contains a length of cable and one connector
to go onto the KAT100 end.
The pins for the cable to the computer

Yes
Be sure to read [and understand] the warnings about the IO connector.
It is **NOT** a standard RS-232 serial port!

Hi Brett,
First, my condolences to you and your family for the recent death in your
family.
I split my kpa100 into an EC2 enclosure with the kat100 this past winter. If
you search the reflector archives, you will find lots of info for doing
this. I used the info found on Lyle Johnson's KK7P

Hi Jack,
I'm definitely interested in the K2 version panadapter. How about designing it
to fit in the Elecraft EC2 case and selling the boards components and let the
buyer do the packaging. Shouldn't be a big deal for a kit builder to put a few
holes in a case to mount the controls and
Based on the emails I have been getting, I apparently didn't state this
well. I am VERY happy with the level of filtering that I have been
getting from the K2 in CW mode. The ability to turn the AGC off and
drill down with the filters has been a great improvement over the 718.
That being
Additionally, I believe all the Elecraft documentation (for the KPA100
and the KAT100) now cover mounting these in the second enclosure.

I read about the possibility of a new Clifton Laboratories design Son of
the Z90 Panadaptor dedicated to the K2. I think that this a good idea
that will prove to be successful. I am interested in a unit with a built

With CW experience, in-the-brain filtering really does develop. It does
take time, but just as assuredly, it does develop.
I have an FT990 with a 250cps filter that I used pretty much all the time.

I'm a new used K2 owner. I have been getting use to the rig the last week.

This Tuesday evening, the North American QRP CW Club will be holding its
monthly sprint.
Here are the particulars:
Date and time:
Wednesday April 11th, 0030-0230 UTC
(Remember that's Tuesday evening here in the USA) That's 8:30 - 10:30

I did some comparisons between my 756 pro and the K2
on 40 meters tonight, only CW, SSB always hurts my ears
so I cant say about that, plus I don't have the ssb option
added to the K2.
I used headphones, the same antenna, and tuned in strong
and weak signals, some had very close qso's going on,
I would take one if it worked on the K2 and the
455 kHz of the homebrew receivers.
I would use it mostly on the AM mode, those steady carriers
show up real well on a panadaptor!
I don't need anything fancy, but would want a built in
screen. A case is not important, it would be kind of cool
to
Hello.
Anyone have one that they would like to trade?
I have a excellent K2 with all options except the 60m and DSP.
If yours is pristine I can sweeten the deal
with the 100w amp and 100w tuner (both unbuilt in the box), ec2..
Package worth over $1000.

Thanks.
Its been a rough week.
Thanks for the link, I saw that before but did not know
how to get back to it.
Looks very sharp, I could put the amp/tuner away on the floor
out of the way, and could still use the basic K2 barefoot.
And I suppose you can change things around and put the amp

There you hit the word I was looking for, rumble. I have the narrow
250 Hz filter in a 706 and a 718. That sums up the difference between
them in the K2. With those filters there is more rumble, and sometimes
the signals blow right by the filters and blast you if you have the
volume up.
Yes, I think there is a lot going on in the modern stuff,
early stages being distorted, stuff getting through the filters,
and other sorts of distortion.
I have been into AM a long time, and fidelity there is important,
and all the modern rigs sound nasty on AM no matter what filters
they have,
i just finished up mounting the front panel board and the controller
board.. ran all the phase 1 tests and alignments, and everything
checks out aok!
woo hoo!
