Eddy, Run the wire - that connector on the K2 is an input only. There is a series reverse voltage protection diode in the K2 that will prevent current from flowing *out* of that connector. One use for that connector is to use two power sources with the K2. A high current power supply conne

2013-07-19 Thread Eddy
Finished the KAT100-1 tuner and I'm seriously impressed with this unit!! Question, my K2 has installed the KPA100 amp in the K2, I noticed I have 12vdc connector at the rear of the K2, can I use this 12vdc source to power the KAT100-1 instead of running a separate lower lead to my 12v supply?

Terry, A high power version of the Elecraft T1 would do that job, but I would think the Elecraft portion of that market would be small, there are several auto-tuners for the 150 to 200 watt range already in the marketplace. Enjoy the remodeling task. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/11/2011 3:50 PM, Ter

I'm just wrapping up the build of the KAT100 antenna tuner (I was in need of a solder fix) and a thought occurred to me. Has anyone considered an external circuit that would allow the KAT100 to be used with HF transceivers other than the K2? The K2-KAT100 interface is a great feature and very wel

Chuck, I have never seen a mobile bracket for the K2. Use whatever works for you installation. I would be thinking Velcro for a part of the solution (although I would not attempt to hang it below the dash and rely on Velcro, the K2 would have to sit on some surface of the vehicle or the mou

Greetings to the group, I built K2/100 3347 a couple of years ago with the idea of using it as a mobile rig. It performed so well in the bench trials that my venerable TS-940 wound up on eBay. The purchase of K3 2693 last month put the K2 back on track to the mobile. My question to those of yo
