Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?

Use a good dummy load and set power to zero watts. Works with KX3, KX2 should be similar. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Sep 25, 2017, at 2:44 PM, Steve-KI4EZL wrote: > > I don't use my K2 much and have forgotten some of the functions. My wife > wants to

Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?

I glued a 6.3 mm jack to the base of my Ham-Key paddle and a common cathode double Schottky diode, that can be found in nearly any old PC power supply, to create a straight-key input and while glueing I made a small DPDT switch to reverse the paddles for left hand operation... I know that can

With the K2 powerknob fully CCW it still produces some 100 mW output as it shows on the display... I made several QSO's with that setting. The TEST option Don W3FPR suggested is imho the best solution. 72, Peter Op 2017-09-25 om 20:52 schreef rich hurd WC3T: Can you turn power to 0 watts

Re: [Elecraft] practicing CW on K2 without transmitting?

Steve, There is the TEST MODE. Set the K2 to CW mode and hold VOX to turn it ON/OFF. See page 100 in the K2 manual. The other way is to connect a dummy load and turn the power all the way down. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/25/2017 2:44 PM, Steve-KI4EZL wrote: I don't use my K2 much and have

Can you turn power to 0 watts the way you can on the KX3?That's how I do it. --- 72, Rich Hurd / WC3T / DMR: 3142737 PA Army MARS, Northampton County RACES, EPA-ARRL Public Information Officer for Scouting Latitude: 40.761621 Longitude: -75.288988 (40°45.68' N 75°17.33' W) Grid: *FN20is*
