Hi Harold,
The K2 serial number is on an adhesive tag to
be placed on the lower rear panel of the radio.
It was in a very small manila envelope in
my K2 kit. I don't believe there is any internal
coding of the MCU that contains the rig's
serial number as there is in the K3.

Harold, you should have received a sticker to be affixed to the rear
connector panel.

I notice that most K2 builders refer to their radio with a four digit number,
apparently a serial number. Where is this number located on the radio?
Thanks. HH

Kevin,
If you are building new kits and are intimidated by the toroids - or
just want to reduce the effort and have toroids with well stripped and
tinned leads, order the toroids from The Toroid Guy.
If you wind your own, the big challenge is not in the winding (but

Hi All,
I don't remember how many toroids I had to wind when building my K2, but it
was more than a few! However, I still think the grand daddy for toroid
winding may have been my Sierra. I jokingly tell people that is where I got
my Phd. in toroid winding! Hi. Every band module required
The basic K2 wasn't too bad, but by the time you add the KAT3, the 160m module,
and then the KPA100/KAT100, it starts to add up :-)

Hum, a parts inventory takes a lot of time. I have never done one, either on my
K1 or K2, and all the options I added. If something is missing, I am going to
notice it at some point during construction, so why do an inventory? I have
saved countless hours not doing inventories. It's not like I
Gil and all,
I would not recommend skipping the inventory. If nothing else,
inventory the capacitors so you know how many you start with. If you
then find you do not have the capacitor value called for during
construction, you can conclude that you installed an incorrect value
somewhere and

You are right Don. I could just count them myself. I was just being lazy and
wondered if anyone had already done a K2 parts count. If I decide to do it,
I will post my result here. (Don't hold your breath!) :) By the way, I
only did an inventory of the caps. I agree it helps to know if you got
Like Wayne, I like to have a look at each part so I can separate
the similar-looking ones. The capacitors are always good
candidates for this treatment. I found the small screws on my K3
also easier to separate after an inventory.

As I was building my K2 tonight, I was wondering if anyone had ever done a
parts count for the standard K2/10 without any add ons?
Just curious!

Keith,
If one were to feel so moved to do so, it is an easy task, just go
through the parts listing in the manual and sum the quantities column
for all the parts.

If you are building a K2, or any Elecraft product for that matter, the
first thing to do is to do a complete inventory of everything received.
Sometimes, but not often, parts can be missing, or parts like toroidal
cores can be broken in transit, and you can then get replacements from

I've wound T3 with 5 turns, but I found I had a lot of wire left over
and examination of the photographs in the manual suggest that the T3 in
the specimen assembly has 10 or 11 turns. Is 5 turns correct?

David,
5 turns is correct. The manual text supersedes any of the diagrams.
Yes, it used to be 10 turns, but that was long ago.

Tom,
T3 is the collector choke in the K2 PA. I am not certain why the
inductance was reduced, because it seems to work with either.
There is no need to change it from 10 turns to 5 - but you can reduce
the number of turns if you wish, OTOH why 'fix' something that is not
broken?

Don

On the Tx alignment - it is easier to detect a small increase in output than
it is to hear an increase in signal with your ears (as in the Rx alignment).
I agree that re-doing the 20 meter 'presetting' both times is not necessary.
I recommend that you go back and peak up the bandpass in
