[Elecraft] Help with T1

2010-10-14 Thread cstoverva
Eric, How did you make out with your T1? Have you finished it? Does it work? I read your thread with interest because I had just ordered a T1 myself. I just ran into the same soldering difficulty with relays K9-K15. I'm no dummy with a soldering iron either. I've built a K1, two K2s,

[Elecraft] K2 No Side Tone After Firmware Upgrade

2010-03-14 Thread cstoverva
I just aquired my second K2. It's and older one with a 3 digit serial number that I purchased used. Plans are to build and install a KDSP2. In preparation for that, I upgraded from firmware MCU2.01 / IOC1.02 to MCU2.04 / IOC1.09. Now I've lost the transmit sidetone. Toggling between

Hi Don, This is K2 sn972 I'm upgrading, so it's an oldy. The firmware chip is 2.04P which I somehow came into possession of while building my first K2 sn5939 a few years ago. I had Elecraft send only the new I/O chip, so the firmware came to me in pieces. I didn't see any notes about

Done, The sidetone is up and running. Now to recalibrate the VFO and check a few other things and I will start building the KDSP2. I have a QRP top with KAT2, KIO2 and KBT2 standing by. #972 will be a fully loaded and up to date K2/10 sitting in the line up with my K1, K2/100 and K3.

Guy, Who ever owned #972 before me did the B mods to the rig. It came to me equipped with the KSB2, KNB2 and K160RX. I'm going to build the KDSP2 to drop in later. I have the QRP top with a KAT2, KIO2 and KBT2 from K2 #5939 that I built a few years ago. #5939 is decked out with the

Hi Don, You nailed it!? Lesson learned on my part.? There was a difference in voltages between pins 4 and 5 of RP5 and pin 5 of U1.? I cleaned up around RP5, R19 and R20 and reflowed the solder connections with no real change in symptoms.? I lifted the key jack from the board.? Although I

Hi Don, Your comment about using flux cleaner struck a nerve with me.? I didn't have any cleaner at the time of completion and obtained some a while back.? I don't remember exactly when.? I had an idle mind and hands one day and opened up the K1 to spiff things up.? I let it dry for a week

Hi Mike, Buck may be right, maybe none.? But, based on my first experience with the K3 in the fox hunt the other night, if you have to buy one, a 400hz filter might be a good choice.? I can see where it might make a difference when you find the fox nudged right next to a strong non QRP

Bud, I wouldn't be too worried. Winding toroids is an acquired skill, but one that is quickly acquired. If you're still spooked after the encouragement you're getting here on the reflector, you might order a toroid set from Mychael, the toroid guy to use as an
