I have a K2, mid 5000 serial number, mic input wired for Kenwood, 50 amp 12
volt Amidon power supply, with a KPA100 running 100 watts. I can easily switch
my HM-10 mic between transceivers using seperate audio cables for each radio to
perform on air testing. When using a Heil microphone HM-10
My K2 #5628 has the SSB option installed. Fine carrier
balanced completed. Many contacts made on SSB with the
K2 with good audio reports. No carrier can be heard
and audio sounds good.
The following settings were done: power set to minimum
- ccw, mic gain (SSBA) set to 3, speech compressor
I need the correct day, start time in GMT, and
frequencies for the 40 and 20 meter Elecraft net.
Reading the emails the frequencies appear to be 7045
and 14050 kc.
It appears that this is a Sunday nite activity for
North America. Does this net meet more than once a
week ?
Best,

With a few helpfull tips from Don Wilhelm - W3FPR I
was able to quickly resolve my K2 power output
problem.
The voltage measured at diode D9 cathode (marked end)
on the RF board was 2.30 volts DC. After R66 (2.7K) it
was 0.0 volts. The microprocessor was NOT getting the
RF output signal via
The build for K2 ser # 5628 has been going well until
I got to the Alignment and Test Part III 40 meter
transmitter alignment section.
Problem:
With current set to 2.0 AMPS and the power control
fully CCW I measured 7 watts on an external wattmeter.
The internal wattmeter had NO indication.
