[Elecraft] K2: V RFDET odd behaviour

2014-12-07 Thread Iain Kelly
Good afternoon, I've been working on K2 s/n 5484 and have some off behaviour that has me stumped. The background is that during a KPA100 build the PC control cable was wired up backwards and then connected to the K2. Some smoke escaped from the control board area. The MCU has been replaced as we

Wayne, This is very interesting (and great) news. I shall take this opportunity to express my interest in the 4m module, and have tipped off another local amateur I know who also would be very keen for such a beastie. Many thanks & 73, Iain M0PCB _

Greetings list, I've been assisting my partner Chloe M0GEJ with some upgrades to her K2 (s/n 5484) and we've come a bit unstuck. It's a base K2 with SSB, 160m and the KAF2. She has added the internal ATU and the 60M module. She also had to replace a faulty headphone jack on the front panel

I have used one for years. If adjusted no need for an ATU. The dipole elements are matched by using twin speaker wire with a short across both wires at particular distances, and only fed onto one the pair, the other is a straight unbroken connection. Inside the feed box of the G3TPW made ante

All, I only caught this thread partway through, and the recent Digest emails have been quite lengthy so I don't even know who was asking originally. However I do have my own solution to this problem. I originally wanted something to be able to fire off the DVR without using a contest logger,

[Elecraft] Elecraft W2 on 70MHz band

2012-04-20 Thread Iain Kelly
Greetings list, I recently added the W2 to monitor the power output at M0PCB on HF and VHF with the K3 and amplifiers. For this it is great, I particularly like the speed at which it reacts to the output power. I am in the process of adding an external transverter so i can make use of my K3 an

[Elecraft] K3 Utility Locking up

2010-11-01 Thread Iain Kelly
Good evening, I've just started having a problem with the latest K3 Utility. When I run the utility without the rig turned on it tries to connect at each of the baud speeds as usual. If I turn the rig on (or indeed if the rig is already turned on when I launch the utility) the program finds the
