Hey Elecraft gang,
I bought a K2/10 this week that has just the DSP and NB option installed.
Apparently she was built by Mr. David Runk, AA3EJ, and according to the
seller built to perfection. :)
Serial number 7088.
Anyhow! I have been scouring the web for information and have a ton of it!
Warren,
No checklist, but I would suggest opening the manual and work through
the front panel controls and rear panel connections. Set yourself up
some simulated operating with CW, voice modes, and data mods when you
get to those sections in the manual.
Then look over the Advanced Operating
Warren and all,
I have been informed by a couple folks that I did not read the post as
well as I should have, and you are dealing with a K2.
The answer is similar, go through the manual - if it is not provided,
you can download it.
For the K2, you can skip the Assembly sections, but go
Thank you Don - And thanks to everyone else who emailed me directly with
lots of great advice!

Quite possibly the BFO
Gene,
For your first question, yes you need to align the filters in the K2.
It is actually an easy process, but is best done using Spectrogram as an
aid to visually see when the filter passbands are positioned correctly
at your chosen sidetone pitch. You will need the internal counter probe
Gene,
To answer the knob question, see
http://wilcoxengineering.com/amateur-radio/elecraft-k2 about a third
down the page. I used a Yaesu FT-100 knob and it works fine. Many folks
use the original ... it's personal preference.

All,
I just acquired a (new to me) K2/100. It is a phenomenal
little radio.
The manual is not the clearest I have seen, so I do have a
few questions.

with XFIL switch, I need to re-tune the radio to recenter
the signal. Is this an issue

Paul,
Congratulations on your K2 purchase.
The AF Gain pot noise first (it is the easiest). If your serial number is
less than 3000, you should see if the alternative AF Gain wiring mod has
been installed - if not, I suggest installing it first. In the process, you
may want to replace the AF
Hello to all.
I just finished the alignment and test , Part 1 for my new K2, #4472.
I have 2 questions for the group.
On initial power up the first time, everything is ok , but the PRE annunciator
comes on all the time. The manual says that only the C (cw mode), 7100.00

Hi Jerry,
The T that looks like an E with the top bar missing is actually a lower case
t. It is OK. As for always coming up with PRE, try turning pre off and then
either switching bands and returning to your initial band or change modes
and return to your original mode. It will stick in the
The reason for this observed behavior is described in section 8
(Operation) in the K2 manual.
See page 91 under Frequency and Band Selection ...
Whenever you change bands or recall a frequency memory, a number of
parameters are saved in nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). This update also

Bill W9LR just bought a used K2 he's lurking here someplace. It's S# 529
and he brought it over here today. I spent about an hour realigning it and
finding the low audio problem, turned out to be some bad solder joints and
one component that was never soldered. Remember the Mantra, check the
