I built up and installed the K60XV module last night and it is another fine addition to my K2! Worked a station at 5AM and had a nice QSO and he was impressed by the audio quality of the rig - was using a Heil HC-4 headset.
I have one question, it appears that originally the XVTR output on the PC board was going to be taken from a 4 pin header and the in/out would have been connected via a pair of matching connectors. Since I decided to keep my original heat sink and mount the XVTR in/out jacks on the top cover (I like BNC's better than phono - but that is a personal preference) is there some "engineering reason" that I cannot put a 4 pin header on the board and attach the in/out jacks via a pair of 2 pin connectors? Main concern is if I need to get "under the hood" it makes it a bit more difficult. If there is a reason for NOT doing that, I may have to decide which is preferable - live with the "difficulty" or get a new heat sink and live with the phono connectors. Just curious. 73 Dennis - WB0WAO EN84ij Iosco County, Michigan K2 #3555 Visit my site! www.wb0wao.com :=) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
