[Elecraft] Delivery

2007-05-29 Thread Håkan Olsson
Okay, the abstinence for soldering got unbarable, so I ordered an additional band module for 80 and 40 meters for my little K1. While at it, I also ordered some extra headphone jacks to have handy just in case.. Delivery was prompt and just as I wanted. No complaints what so ever! Elecraft

[Elecraft] KSB2 SSB Adapter problem

2006-12-27 Thread Håkan Olsson
I have just put together the KSB2 SSB ADAPTER and I have problems. Referring to the manual on page 15 “Initial Test” the last paragraph “Verify that the K2 performs...” I do not get any sound in the loudspeaker, or the sound I get is very very muted. I can hear some very faint - both CW and

Don, it was a short betwen either RFC1 or RFC2 and one of the crystal cases that caused the problem. Really embarassing because it was basically the first and only real problem I have come upon building my K2 #5810 and all the extras... :-) It's so easy to happen that I really think it

[Elecraft] Amidon core

2006-11-30 Thread Håkan Olsson

[Elecraft] CW keying

2006-11-01 Thread Håkan Olsson
So now I am about to put the KI02 RS-232 I/O Option into my K2. Now I want to work CW from the computer using serial port control line keying. That should be simple, but what circuit/components are you guys using to do that? Any links were I can read about it? Please tell me so I don't mess

Thanks Joe! That's simple enough. Just about right for my level! :-) Is there any reason in practice to use optic coupling versus direct keying? I'm going to use it for a K2 and never ever going to upgrade to K2/100 or using an amplifier. de Håkan Joe-aa4nn wrote: You can look at the

2006-10-31 Thread Håkan Olsson
K2 s/n 05810 is up and running! Got the kit last Friday and it's now Tuesday! :-) No missing or wrong part. Instructions very easy to follow! All three smoke tests went without any kind of problems at all. Output pwr not 15, but 12 watts on 20 meter, but that should be OK, I think...
