the modes they support, I don't think the grey cells could stand it.

spend some money for good software I don't mind. (As a professional

This is the same problem I had, except I had around a 600Hz shift, and
it took some time to sort out. The eventually problem was indeed the

Hi again from Sweden,
Thanks Don, John, Ken, Robert, Roland Elvie, Robert and Tom for your
inrerest in my little audio problem. It all started after I have
finished the KDSP2
and was setting L34 for the best signal-to-noise ratio. Before that I
had audio
from the internal speaker as well as
Oh me, there is always that 10% that did not get the word and I am guilty.
This sounds like something to which I should have paid attention. Can some
kind soul fill me in on Rework Eliminators?
Thanks es 73s

Darrell,
I have used the 1.5 on my K2/100 and KAT100/KPA100 in
EC2 for about 6 months and I love it. To me, it is a
more natural angle for the operation, but I am short,
so it just works better. Maybe some taller people
would prefer the 3. Bottom line: give it a try;
it's only $11.50. You
What's a rework eliminator??

Simon, maybe you should give MixW a try. I haven't seen the need to program
all the modes they support. You can make mode specific macros if
Excellent, thanks for the info! Looks like a good addition for the K2!

My K2/100 works great and it's a great DX machine. One thing I've noticed
however, is that
the recovered audio is different on different bands. On certain bands ( higher
than 20M?) I
need to have the AF gain waaay up to hear anything comfortably. Other bands
(like 20m) will
just about blow me
Simon,
I would like to thank you for your hard work and great software.
I have been using your free software for a number of years starting
with the VR5000 and FT-817 control programs. I wasn't a real believer
of Ham Radio Deluxe when it first came out because I couldn't imagine
one piece
At the risk of prolonging the off-topic discussion about free software, but
with the hope of shortening it, I wanted to pass along that I emailed Simon
privately to explain that my comments were not a condemnation of those who
develop free software but rather those who demand that all software be
It's good that you are prepared to give your software away for free,
Simon, but there is another side of the coin.
I myself have written a number of ham radio programs (several of them
are also free.) A couple of them, HFProp and K2Net, have been quite popular.
I often receive requests for
The subject says it all. One of my K2's seems to have normal
sensitivity on all bands except 15m. The receiver is running, but
sensitivity is down by 20-30 dB. Any ideas about where to look? I'm
suspecting a bad T/R relay, or something around there.

Hi Thom,
The loop can be a antenna of choice for QRN/ QRM areas. The end fed antenna
being unbalanced may have more noise than the loop. You will end up with
more of a rectangular loop, or a horizontal Hentenna.
For the higher bands, 20 and up you might investigate the compact beam
designs
Thom,
many people that are very space constrained find a magnetic loop antenna
to work fairly well; there are some associated hassles, like very narrow
bandwidth, but they can be tuned, and are fairly low noise (not very
susceptible to noise); someone may have some links to sites describing
You may have already thought of this, but a Buddipole on your deck might
work. I live on the second floor of an apartment building and use one on my
deck. Not the best but when no other antennas are allowed/possible, it
works.

Thom,
For operation on such a small footprint, I would think th ebest solution
would be a vertical - especially a vertical dipole because it should not
require radials for proper operation. There are several multiband verticals
available, but for single band use, a half wave of aluminum tubing
John,
With the sunspot cycle at its present low state, that may just be normal. I
have not heard many signals on bands higher than 20 meters lately except for
an occasional band opening.
OTOH, if you have taken the lack of viable signals on the higher bands onto
proper account, you may have
Thom,
You could purchase a 20 to 30 foot fiberglass, telescoping fishing pole and
mount it on your second floor deck so that it slopes at a 45 degree angle or
so. You can run a wire up the pole to the tip and allow enough wire to hang
off of the tip so that it can not be touched by someone
I was very excited to finish my KX1 serial number 1225 and start the
alignment procedures. Radio seems to be humming along fine, but the antenna
tuner alignment hit a snag. When I began to null the trimmer cap C9, it was
very difficult to rotate, and then broke free violently, mashing the plates
