RE: [Elecraft] Anyone using WSJT with a K2?

Hi Mike and Lenny, Using FSK441, don't change the tones (as far as I know you can't). Just tune in for the RX signal and the DF will show you how to tune in on your partner. From then on it should be OK. 73's, Evert PA2KW -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Thanks Don for the historical-technical backup! I've got SN4836 so won't have that problem. 73's, Evert -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 23:10 To: w2bvh Cc: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re:

[Elecraft] VP6DX K3K2

Finally worked the VP6DX guys on 24 Mc this afternoon with my K2. Worked them in 12 slots now with only 100W ! I like my K2/100-SN4836 (and Drake TR7 on the low freq's) I hope the K3 will be able to compete with, and finally replace the Drake TR7/R7/RV7 (receiver/audio/NB quality) I ordered in

[Elecraft] QRV PACC

Hello all, I'll be qrv from a small clubstation (PI4EDE) during the PACC contest with my K2 (mainly CW ofcourse) Unfortunately my K3 is too late for this event, but the K2 will do fine as usual. Hope cul. 73's, Evert PA2KW ___ Elecraft

RE: [Elecraft] K2 : quite 7 Mc

Problem solved. I Just removed the KIO2 and the KXV2, tested the K2 (all OK) reinserted the KXV2 (all OK) and finally reinserted the KIO2 (all OK) Magic hands I suppose :-). Have a nice weekend. 73's, Evert PA2KW After installing my KIO2 module in the K2 (I want my KPA100 remote) I did all

[Elecraft] K2 : quite 7 Mc

Hello all, After installing my KIO2 module in the K2 (I want my KPA100 remote) I did all proposed tests to see if the KIO was working. I was using the K2-remote program C 2001 Elecraft LLC and changing settings on 7 Mc. All looked fine, and up to the end. I finally completed the mechanical

[Elecraft] K2 Remote KPA100

Hello all, Before I start to look in the manuals... Do I need the KIO2 module when I want to use my KPA100 in a separate enclosure? Do I need more then that? Thanks in advance 73's, Evert PA2KW ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to:

RE: [Elecraft] KPA100 R 19 R20 question

Werner, The inductive resistors are light-blue/grey. I replaced mine as well. They should have a reddish-brown colour now. Also a capacitor C31 should be replaced (was 0.033uF and should be 0.22 uF) 73's, Everet PA2KW ___ Elecraft mailing list Post

RE: [Elecraft] K3 and Sequencer

Hello Ron, Yes I am. I raised this issue several month ago during the announcement of the K3. I did suggest the Ten-Tec solution which works fantastic. Before RF gets out (either from the main antenna or transverter RF-out), the TX-Request initiated by the PTT/VOX/Key from the K3 (which should be

RE: [Elecraft] K3 and Sequencer

Sir, It's always good to exchange thoughts about the possible use and features of Elecraft products. I know the products of DEM but all of them doesn't prevent the exiter to give RF if one piece of the added hardware isn't working properly. 73's Evert PA2KW -Original Message- From:

RE: [Elecraft] K3 and Sequencer

Hi Tom (and others), I think Don answered almost complete to your question but I'd like to elaborate a little on this subject which is unnecessary for and even unknown by most HF operators. For serious VHF/UHF operation, it is important to have a system with low noise figure (typical between

RE: [Elecraft] Delay between key in, key out on XV

Hi John, I've been struggling around as well to realize a safe and reliable setup for the combination K2 / Transverter / Power-Amp / Pre-Amp / Coaxial relay, from which the last three components in a separate box mounted in top of the antenna tower. It is no way safe to use the 8R or 8T voltage

[Elecraft] PWR control

Last weekend I used my K2 in combination with my own designed/build 44 Mc transvertor for meteor-scatter QSO's. Last week I finished my audio interface / sequencer to give me isolation between PC and K2 / save my preamp when running a high power amplifier respectively. The K2 has the K60XV option
