Actually it's more than an inventoryit allows you to separate items
into containers for easy finding. But even more important is that you
are able to identify all the various pieces, as it's very easy to
confuse one choke for another, or one capacitor for another. It's not

About 2 weeks ago a friend (Bill, W9LR) picked up K2 S#529 on Ebay for a
good price. I guess he fell in love with my K2, anyway being a good friend

I'm working on a Rev A board and noticed that on the coupling transformer to
the IF amp that it is built different than the Rev B models.
On this one the Red (3/4) windings are 11 and the Green (1/2) windings are 3
On the Rev B the Red (3/4) windings are 20 and the Green (1/2) windings are
5.

I've got a Rev A K2 (#529) that a friend brought to me to upgrade to all the
Rev B mods ect. Before I did the mods I fixed some problemslow audio
out (bad solder joint) and other minor probs. So before I started the
upgrades it was working.
Here's the problem now. The radio works great exce
Bill W9LR just bought a used K2 he's lurking here someplace. It's S# 529
and he brought it over here today. I spent about an hour realigning it and
finding the low audio problem, turned out to be some bad solder joints and
one component that was never soldered. Remember the Mantra, check the

I primarily use my K2 for CW and I sold my KAF2 about 3 months after I got
the KDSP2I love it...I'll put this rig up against anything else...when
using the Crystal filters and KDSP2 all I hear is the CW station...I have no
noise or ringing or anything...I'd shoot for the KDSP2 if I were you.
Looking for a KAF2 for a friend (W9LR) who just picked up a K2 S# 529. I've
got some fixing to do to it for him and do the upgrades from A to B and the
such. If you have a KAF2 for sale built or unbuilt let me know via direct
email.

If a man makes a statement in the woods and no woman is there to hear him,
is he still wrong?

Just a little over a year ago I took a trip to England and Ireland for 3
weeks. Had the K2 in my checked luggage, and 2 HT's and a Digital SLR in my
carry-on's. No questions or problems with the radios, however they had to
tear my carry-on apart to look at the camera. It appears that the lenses
The first thing I would check is take the control board out and check all
the solder connections, it could be you missed one (or whoever built it) and
when you push on it you are making contact.
If that isn't the problem as long as you have it apart test the output
with a VOM.

I'm sure it's the standard as I would think EF Johnson Radios got it right
and most of their LMR radios use the connector and it's wired identical. I
know because I wanted an extra harness for each of my cars for the K2 and
just took 2 power cable kits from Johnson off the shelf and let her rip...
The 100 amp has a new power connector...if you use the original you are only
using the QRP portion and shouldn't have more than a milliamp or two of
extra drain. Personally you can just remove the amp (the new lid) and put
your old top on and you're back to a QRP K2.\

We had a meeting of the CheeseHead QRP group last Monday. We had a plethora
of radios setup on a bench with daisy chained antenna switches to antenna
farm. There were rockmites, SGC's, Yaesu's and of course all 3 Elecrafts.
The guys were blown away by the K2, the K1 they had already seen before a
