I don't mean to re-hash the same subject either, but I guess I missed the end of this discussion also. Regarding the vertical tube that comes from the stand to the mic, can someone tell me if the threads on the bottom section are supposed to screw all of the way into the base? Mine goes in

Re: [Elecraft] Soldering station

Mike and all, Thanks for the heads up, Mike. I'm wondering if anyone has ordered and received the Circuit Specialists soldering stations which looked like Hakko 936's ? If so could they give us a similar report on that unit? At $35.00 it is indeed a tempting buy, but with Mike's post...?

Yep - a nice build. The cost (including a pre-punched case) ran me about $150, dunno if that is a lot for 35 watts, but I needed a bit more punch, especially on psk31. Tom WB2QDG K2 1103 - Original Message - From: John ( N5BSD ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, October 31, 2004 7:55 pm

[Elecraft] Question about K2's Q7 and Q8 Final Amp

2004-10-04 Thread redmen1969
Hi, My K2 has been working fine but I decided to fix it anyway...hi. Well actually I was a little short on the power output on 10 meters. I was getting about 7 watts out on 10 meters and Gary Suggested that I replace T2 and T1. Instead of winding them myself, I contacted 'The Toroid Guy'

I had the occassion to take apart the hand held mic that Elecraft carries (MH-2?) and was really shocked at what I found inside. Now as a mostly CW guy I really don't have a good appreciation of sound quality, but I'm finding this thread very interesting. Tom WB2QDG - Original Message
