Hi Guys, I know no one wishes to trade their last K2 but I am hoping that
someone has an extra that would consider it. I have a very nice FT-100D with

some additional items to add depending on the K2 configuration

How did you plan to use the 160M loop? If you want to work the locals (within

George,
I am not certain what you mean by proper sub forum - there is only one
Elecraft reflector that I know of, even if it is presented both in pure
email as well as Nabble posts.
It is true that the KX1 has several birdies, especially on 20 meters.
Double check the 14 MHz Low Pass Filter

I've never seen an HF Yagi with an air core balun at the feed point. Such
baluns for HF were typically a foot or more square! (The only ones I ever
messed with were mounted in the shack to connect a single-ended rig output
to a balanced feed line.)
By the 1980s ferrite baluns were very commonly
It is a pity that someone back in prehistoric times started using the

Shane,
I believe the - - display means that the KAT3 is not being properly
recognized as being installed. That fact alone may complicate the
results of your other observations.
You may not be able to TUNE the dummy load to 1:1 SWR - the tuning
mechanism may quit tuning if the SWR is below
The '- -' display usually happens when there is not enough power to
tune and generate a proper SWR.

This is not ham-related, but it illustrates that home design and building of
incredible electronic gadgets is still alive and well. It does feature DSP,
microcontroller programming, and audio-processing stuff that certainly can
be tied to ham interests. I believe that reflector participant Ian

The '- -' display usually happens when there is not enough power to

And this display could be an indication that the K3 is in test mode.
Be sure that the TX indicator is not flashing.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Gary from Elecraft was awesome to

was the wattmeter needed to be calibrated.

Redo the WMTR menu calibration.
