Hi,
Does anyone know conclusively if the KUSB USB to serial adapter listed on the
Electaft website will work with a K2 and Vista? The KUSB is listed on the
website with the K3 items. I've searched the archive and I found one remark
that said the KUSB should work with a K2no mention of

Hi,
After using my K2/100 for nearly a year I finally got
it hooked up to my Ameritron AL-811 amplifier.
Previously, I had used the amp only with my IC-746Pro.
I build a switch box to switch the amp keying. It
also switches out the amplifier ALC (not that the
K2/100 uses it) and it switches
Well, I'm afraid to raise my head after this. About
two weeks ago I raised the question here on the
reflector about realigning my K2. My initial
alignment had went relatively well but did not use
Spectogram. After encouragement from several people
to give it a go I dived right in.

Last week I asked on this reflector about realigning
my K2 as it is about 10 months old and I wasn't really
sure I did a good job of it the first time. Several
good people here on the reflector adviced it probably
was a good idea and offered some valuable suggestions

Hi Folks,
Several days ago I raised the question here as to
whether it is advisable to realign my K2 after having
it in use for several months. Several people replied
to which I am thankful for their advice. Everyone

helpful to redo the
Hi Folks,
My K2/100 (S/N 4787) is about 10 months old. My
question is at what point, or ever, should all the
initial alignments be repeated? There are several
reasons for asking the question other than electronic
components simply drifting a bit with age.

Hi Gang,
Something over six months ago Elecraft leaked word
that two new amplifiers were in the works. My
impression was at least one was intended to be ready
by Christmas. Does anyone know status of these and
what is that status??? Inquiring minds want to know.
;-)
Thanks and 73,

radio hikers. It might be just the thing for
Elecraft's QRP rigs. The link is from the CNN website
