Gerald,
From your description, I would strongly suggest that you order a
2SC2166 or two from Elecraft.
If you are attempting to operate the KX1 without a heatsink on Q6, DO
NOT DO THAT. Q6 will be zapped in very short order. Use a heat sink on
Q6 at all times.

I just installed the upgrade using a 20” monitor. Wow it’s beautiful. One of
the best tools in my shack, especially for DX pileups and contesting. The more
you use the P3 the more it grows on you and the new P3SVGA upgrades it to
awesome. It also adds some nice features. Kudos and thanks
Bill,
The K3 does not (and never has) place any restrictions on tuning of the
60 meter band - you may tune anywhere you desire. That is NOT firmware
dependent.
As an operating convenience, the K3 memories can be set up for channel
hopping if you desire.

Hello Don, thanks for your fast reply.
I meant a BD139 not BD136 of course, and I had mounted a small heatsink, but
maybe that was to small.
So I will take your advice and get the original type as a replacement of Q6 and
see how that works.

Hi Gary,
I have built only 1 K2, but mine has the same power consumption (240mA)
during RX. So I think your current consumption is OK. You can have some
deviations of your consumption because of LCD backlight mode (day/night),
S-meter mode (bar vs dot), post-mixer amp Q22 biasing so don't worry
My recently completed K2, #7235, worked FB for two weeks. One evening, while
listening around the bands, I stepped over to my balanced feed tuner to
change taps. What I didn't realize was that a healthy static charge had
built up on my vertical linear-loaded dipole. When I reached for a tap I

when I put it together. I'm sure the difference between the P3 and

Thanks for reminding that we should keep those sweet K2s alive and in good
health. Typically, if you have your antenna attached to the K2 ANT connector,
the DC path through R67 R68 (RF Board) won't allow a static built-up. But as
you already shared, the question is what happens when the

For reasons of convenience, the resistors are mounted on the antenna side of
the tuner. Since I'm tuning from 3.5 mHz through 15 mHz into a roughly 10.5
meter linear loaded dipole, the impedance in some instances is quite high,
thus the large value of resistors.

It seems an unfair test with the K3 filter settings much narrower than
the 590. The 590 sounds noisier despite the extra S level.
These guys seem to think its proof the 590 outperforms the K3,
but I don't think it's a fair test.
