Hello Douglas. Take a look at page 89 of the April 2007 issue of QST. You
can boot your computer into Linux using a 2 GB USB flash drive with Mandriva
Linux on it. According to the article you can download the software free and
put it on your own flash drive or you can buy it already on the
Johnny,
Here are the KDSP2 settings I am using. I'm sure they are not optimum but I
am happy with the performance I get. There is quite a bit of QRM here on 80m
SSB and the KDSP2 suppresses most of it so the voice is readable.

nt 40 07
Sn G 5.0
SF G 7.0
I don't have 80m
Hello everyone. I almost made it to the finish line with my K2. I'm
encountering a problem with the KPA100 SWR Bridge Null Adjustment (C1). I have
everything hooked up correctly as far as I can determine. I set the power knob
for 5.0 W. Enter tune mode and adjust C1 to get 1.0-1 SWR on the K2
Hello everyone. I installed a 60 meter board last night and it seems to have a
problem. When I entered 5000 kHz I had what sounds like a loud oscillator sound
on the audio. I turned on another radio and had WWV loud and clear at 5000 kHz
in that radio. When I increase the frequency the
is like
hearing some internally generated low frequency and nothing else. The
frequency changes a little bit when I attach the DMM lead to R30. Thanks for
your help.

Thanks Don. I think the VCO voltage is too low at 5000kHz. At 5300 kHz

Harvey,
I found that I could adjust the VCO voltage to keep the VCO in lock

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem calibrating the dial on my K2. I followed
the procedure by Wayne to set the master oscillator with C22 on the control
board. I am able to use the signal at 10 MHz an get the readings to match up at
TP1 and TP2. However when I run CAL PLL the dial is off by
Hi Bob. I tried switching the NB threshold and it has no effect on the NR on

Hi Brent. I think Tower Hobbies and Hobby People both carry them. I use them
in my electric R/C planes. Check them out on the net.

Cary, on 60 meters I usually pick up WWV loud at 5000 kHz in the evening.

Also Cary, don't forget to go into the menu (might be secondary menu) and
set D19 to Y to enable 60 meter band.

Hi everyone. I just finished aligning my K2 with Spectrogram and part of it was
aligning the I.F stage using L34. The manual says to set the slug 1 turn down
from the top and adjust for the largest difference between the internal signal
at 7 MHz and the noise around it. Well, I found that the

Mike I know what you mean. I wound the coils for a T1, K1, KX1, and K2 so
far but I have another K2 due to arrive this AM. My first K2(#5022) took
about 2.5 months to build because I took my time. I did take my time
Hi Phil. There is a new item from MFJ you might want to look at. I think its
an MFJ-655 microphone equilizer/conditioner that will adapt almost any mic

arranged to accomodate any mic and radio configuration. Go to the
Has anyone used toroids from the 'Toroid Guy' to build a K2? Are his wound
better or neater than someone can do by hand (I assume his are machine wound)?
Is it worthwhile to buy his? Thanks.

Hi Glenn. Here is the approach I used and it worked fine for me. I held each
xtal in one of those extra hands devices that has several alligator clips on
it. Then I put the ground wire in the other alligator clip and positioned it
so the wire is on the side of the xtal then solder. I did it
Hi all. I am operating my K2 and trying to get the DSP to work well. I think I
have the denoiser settings working a little bit but I haven't been able to get
the automatic notch, nt, set. The other day I had a signal coming in on LSB and
there was a hetrodyne on it. I turned on the notch and
Here is how I checked out the noise blanker in my K1. I have a small antenna in
the same room as the K1. When I take off my sweater it snaps crackles and pops
and I can hear it in the speaker. Turn on the noise blanker, take off the
sweater and no pops in the speaker. I tried it several times.
Does anyone know if the Elecraft T1 tuner would be a good tuner to use with the
Elecraft XV50 transverter? Since I have a K2/100 and a T1 and have never been
on 6 meters I am thinking about giving it a try.

Hello everyone. I just joined the group lately and have been reading some of
your emails. So far I have built a T1, KX1 # 1192, K2/100 # 5022 and several
of the mini kits. I'm just starting K1 #2157. Everything worked ok except the
K2 SSB board. I ended up having to buy another one to get it
