From what I can see the only amateur transceiver that meets the
requirement is the FT-817, so we'd all better rush out and buy one of
those... Perhaps it has something to do with QRP power levels, having
had an FT857D, I won't be in the queue to buy an 817.

The net took place between 1000 hours local until 1048 local (0900 to

difficulties from one or two stations in receiving Colin with his 10

Using my K3 in a portable/mobile operation with the radio connected to the 13.8
car-battery I made a follish misstake
and reversed the polarity. Result: Dead rig.
I suppose no one out there have made the same misstake but perhaps someone

Kurt,
The 25 amp circuit breaker is on the rear panel (fan panel), and that
protects the 100 watt PA.
The remainder of the 12 volt input for the K3 is shown on the schematic
for the RF Board sheet 3. There is an RF choke - RFC6, a 6 amp
resettable fuse - F1, a zener diode - D28, and a

While listening the K2 just cut off. When I try to turn it on, the lcd
flashes on and immediately back off, as if, the MCU was shutting it off.
The power supply voltage is fine and there are no external fuses blown.
Where should I look first?

one looks unused. Asking $ 65 including worldwide shipping. The other
one has issues: i) a 2 cm long deep scratch on the round, black finger
piece about 1 to 2 mm deep. Not sure what caused it. ii) Not the

Please help support
Ron,
It sounds like something is drawing excessive current in your K2 and
causing the resettable fuse to open.
Open the K2 and check the resistance from the Q7 and/or Q8 collectors to
ground. It will normally be in excess of 1500 ohms, but if it measures
low (100 ohms or so) I would wager
What should the resistances between poles of Q7 Q8 be?

staff who can give you a definitive answer.

A bit early in the game to build a list but here goes...
-THE DSP NR WORKS...amazing concept I guess.
-QSK is amazing...sucked on the OII
-Shift and width controls amazing compared to Pass band tuning that the OII
called it.
- Receive quality really appeals to my ears...OII never sounded this
I do miss the remote vfo pod though...

Has anyone successfully interphased a K2-100 with an LDG AT1000Pro tuner to

The Fluke is a professional grade 5.5 digit DMM with regular and four wire
measurement capabilities. It saw me through a K2/100 build, a KX1 build, and
many other projects. It is is very nice shape and fully operational. Its last
full calibration was in November of 2005 lapsing in 2006. I
I'm glad to have both the K3 and Orion, not to be tacky.
Orion for weak CW DXing and the K3 for all the digital modes with MixW, 6
meters and back-up. SSB, what little I do is a split. The K2 for QRP DXing
is a keeper for the past 8+ years. The FT-450 is an outstanding rig too.
BTW, some
Had some fun with my K2 running SSB on 20m. Was listening to a guy in

there with the K2 set to 5w. Yep he comes right back to me saying I am

Good Evening,
The nets went rather well today. Strong signals on both kept me turning
down the gain so my ears would stay intact. Some were so loud I was getting
very distorted sounds until I adjusted the gain level. Since I always run with
AF at max I use the RF gain to keep the levels
