HP now makes the HP33s (~$45), which is a slightly enhanced 32sii does
RPN or algebraic. Looks like marketing was at work, though, since they
put the buttons in a strange V pattern. I've also read that the decimal
point is tough to see. And for matrices, differential eqns, etc., you
can now
This note is to urge new K2 builders like me to take the time to
calibrate the 4 MHz master oscillator with the WWV method and to align
your filters using Spectrogram or similar software. (See elecraft.com's
Builder Resources page.) The assembly instructions get you in the
ballpark, but fine
I finished putting the 60m board together over the weekend - it works
fine, no problems there! - and thought I'd post a small suggestion to
improve the manual. On p. 10 it says, Re-install the heatsink panel.
No sooner is that completed than you find on p. 11 the directions, If
you'll be using
of the optional boards...
My thanks to Don, Walt, and Gary for their help in speeding me along to
track down the one naughty component. What a great way to end the work day!

Now that my K2 is just about complete while it's still fresh in my
mind, I thought I'd offer a couple suggestions that might make the
already fantastic manual possibly even a little friendlier. These are
very, very minor, though. The manual makes it incredibly easy to start
from a bag of parts
I just meant to send a post but think I sent it as email to someone on
the list (regarding the K2 Manual). For some reason this list defaults
to direct email when replying, and I've made this mistake a couple
times. To whoever I mistakenly emailed, could you send me my note if
you haven't
I was doing testing alignment tonight with everything going perfectly
until 12m alignment, the very last band on the list. All other bands
had no problems during alignment, but with power set at 2.0 W the power
output on 12m shows just 0.2 W. Bumping the power setting up has no
effect on power
Here's a very minor concern, so minor I almost didn't post it. I'm
ready to put my K2 together for the RF bd Part 2 testing alignment,
and first must put tape over the prewound L33 toroid to prevent it from
contacting the chassis. The manual says electrical tape can be used,
but that seems kind

On second thought, I'll put the tape on the chassis itself! :-P

Thanks very much, Don, for your ideas. My email had faulty numbers as a
result of a faulty (human!) memory. I remeasured voltages just now at
Control Board locations you measured and got these results:

Good going, Ken! Can't wait till I'm saying the same about #4834.
I've noticed a few notes regarding L31, and I'm not at that point yet in
my K2 build. It seems the concensus is that 12 uH should be used rather
than 10 uH in the notes I've read, so I wonder why the kitted component
was
Wow, Robert, *that* is fantastic! I'm looking forward to your QST
article - I can't imagine them not printing it there or in QEX. You
justly deserve your Mad Scientist title. :-)

Hey gang,
K2 #4834 showed up here today! Did anyone else like making words out of
7 segment calculator numbers years ago? Let's see, 4834 would be

Hi Martin,
I don't use samba much so I'm not positive what the problem is, but do a
man lpoptions if you're using CUPS to manage your print services. It
sounds like you might want to do something like lpoptions -o
job-sheets=none to turn off banner page printing. If you're not using
CUPS,
Hi Andy,
I've been doing this a whole lot lately leading up to my real order. Go
to the elecraft.com order page and just check the boxes of the gadgets
you're thinking about. When you click add to cart and then give your

For someone new to K2 building - like, say, someone who just ordered his
first one yesterday :-) - would you recommend building the K2 as
directed and then desoldering parts to add additional boards? The
directions seem to recommend that after a quick skim. But it seems to
me it'd be much
Many thanks for the very helpful replies to my question. I'll be
placing an order to get my workbench in shape, and will then place the
B-i-g O-r-d-e-r for a K2 and a few add-ons.
Thanks again,
Mike AB3AP
