Re: [Elecraft] K2: I killed my KPA100

Jim, My usual procedure when tackling a problem of that nature is to first isolate the problem to one component. You have already apparently checked out the base K2. Next, remove the top cover from the base K2 and connect the KPA100 to it (remove the KPA100 from the EC2 enclosure). Put the

The twenty meter net went rather well.  Once I had a chance to call the net I was met by a solid tone which is always a good sign.  The tail-enders get a break.  By being a second after the solid tone I can get letters from your callsigns.  Signal reports all had some QSB but ranged from S1 to

Mike, Of some concern is the heating of Q6 - but I don't think it is unreasonable if you can still hold your finger on it. Hint for troubleshooting. *IF* the problem is in the RF amplification chain (Q5 thru Q8) then it should appear in TUNE as well as in SSB. I would suggest that you

Mike, Is there any chance you have the K60XV option in that K2? If so, you can set split the transmit path into 2 pieces because the Transverter output takes its output from just after the bandpass filters - i.e. - it does not use the Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8 stages. Set up for a transverter band
