Hi all,
Finally finished the K2 last night, all that remains is the final assembly
but I've run out of parts except the speaker and a couple jacks and screws
here and there for the final assy.
I made my first, and as far as I know at this time, only, mistake when
putting in the LP filter
Oops, when I said bandpass filters, I mean only on 80 meters. All the other
bands had very definite and loud peaks on recieve...

That is normal for the 80 meter bandpass - it is very broad tuning. No
problem.
The 15 meter higher current thing is not likely a problem either - I
would guess that the max power level on that band is in excess of 14
watts, and if so, that is not a problem. Turn the power down to 10
watts
Ok thanks Don.
I ran through all the bands at about 10w and the current draw and output was
pretty consistent everywhere, 2.2 to 2.4 amps draw. My power supply is a
12ah battery and it pulls down about a volt at max power which like you said
will result in higher current draw. So looks like its
After weeding thru a few problems my K2 is up and running good. So far I have
not added any extra modules and the basic K2 is doing fine with on the air
QSOs. I will share my problems to maybe help some one keep from making same
mistakes. Don W3FPR was VERY helpful guiding me thru my
