Re: [Elecraft] KIO2/KPA100 Serial Comm Problems

Hi Tom - just a quick note to let you know that I use an old IBM 380ED (not sure what the difference is between it and the 380D) with the K2 and thankfully have not experienced the "flaky" communication problem that you are having. I also use it with the Yaesu Mark V and again no problems. Just F

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Wanted for Immediate Purchase

Thanks to all who responded. A local club member has offered the loan of his K2 to be used (with my "extra" modules) for our Field Day so I'm off the "Purchase" list. 73 see you on Field Day. -- Don N4HH - Original Message - From: "Donald Nesbitt"

[Elecraft] K2 Wanted for Immediate Purchase

Looking for a fairly bare bones K2 (could include 160 meter option and blanker but nothing more - I've got all the rest) with serial number above 4060 (Revision F dated January 29, 2004 using the new Revision B PCB). First choice is for one that is immaculate, nicely built with good soldering, full

Re: [Elecraft] K2 - NOISY POLLING

Hello Chris - I am using my K2/100 with N1MM and do not notice the noise that you are referring to. I use the K2/100 with two laptops - one an old P1 266mhz with only 80 meg ram (yes, it works fine with N1MM as long as you don't have anything else running!). This old computer has a "real" RS-232 p

Re: [Elecraft] K2 NB design contest ?

This is a GREAT idea! There are so many extremely technically gifted guys and gals out there with a keen interest in Elecraft and the K2 that I'll bet it would be a huge success! Alas, I'm not one of the technically gifted so I can't do a thing with the design but would be very willing to be a be

Pardon the earlier malformed subject... Hi all - I'm working on K2 #4607. I'm to the point of Alignment and Test, Part II. A couple of problems have come up. 1) The K2 is failing the PLL range test with a range of 9.47kHz. L31 is currently 10uH. I've emailed elecraft regarding this. Greppin

Re: [Elecraft] KSB2 Question

Off List Reply Follows - copied to the reflector Hi Jeff. I don't have the schematics in front of me but some of the crystal filter capacitors were changed in the later revisions to widen the response from about 2.1 KC (actually measured about 1.9 at 6 dB down points on mine) to about 2.4 KC. Th

Re: [Elecraft] Which Mods Are Applicable??

Hello Jim - not to worry - you don't have to make ANY mods to ". . . make a new radio work." My K2 is serial number 2028 (a few years old) and I DIDN'T HAVE to make any mods to it. It worked just great as it was! That is not to say that I have not made any - in fact. I've made a bunch but only
