Having had several harrowing desoldering experiences over my kit building
career, I read with interest the posts on the Hakko 808 - I'm on the verge of
ordering one on the spot. But I have a question to anyone who has used one,
especially if you've used to install your 3080 option:
Does the
Hi
I have the 808 and a older 706 Hakko. The 808 comes with 2 tips and they are
about the right size for most of the work I do. They should be fine for any
rework or option installing on a K2. I use my 808 quite a bit and the tips
last about 6 months to a year, so for occasional use the two

Hi Everyone,
I thought it a good idea to update the list about my K2's locked VFOs, which
I posted last week.
Briefly, the A B VFOs were both locked up, each at one frequency on 20m,
and ONLY on 20m. All other bands were completely normal. Neither VFO A nor
B would budge from their last
Ken,
Thanks for the advice, Kiesub looks to be the best price around, and they have
free ground shipping too! It'll take a few days from Las Vegas to the east
coast, but I'd rather spend the money on a few extra tips.
I just placed an order with them. Here's the URL again:
Is it possible to access K2 band data information in order to make it available
in some format to control external devices?. Thanks for any help.

I can answer that. By far the best way to get band data is to decode
the frequency returned by an IF; serial command. Having the frequency
allows you quite a bit of freedom in what you do with it, especially
since you can create sub bands or segments within each band. This
could be useful
I plan to install a digital in/output in my K2. I was lucky and found a no
more used EA3BLQ digital interface. In the manual I found two ways to get
AF into the interface. One is from the digital audio filter and the other
from the RF board J5. As I do mainly Pactor with a Ptc-2 the better way

Is there some way to decode band segment info with KRC2?
I don't recall seeing anything about that when I built mine.
Does it take some additional utility software to set this
up, assuming it's even possible. Boy, that would sure be handy.

Hi,
I recently built a W1CG low power balun (Guanella 4:1 two-core design).
I'm pretty new to amateur radio and my on-air results were pretty
confusing to me
so I was hoping someone could help me understand what is or may be going on

For these tests I was using an inverted vee dipole,

No electronic background, but have successfully followed excellent instructions
and completed KAT100 and KPA100 and have these working in an EC2 enclosure. Not
bad for a guy who cannot tell the difference between a resistor and a
capacitor!
Now for dumb question. I would like a noise
Martin,
Not sure if I can explain this adequately or not, but here goes.
When you have a mismatch at the antenna - and you always will with 300 ohm twin lead -
there is energy reflected from the ant/feedline junction. That energy is returned along
the feedline to the transmitter/tuner. It
Martin
Some basic things that can never be repeated too often.
Any watt meter will only read correctly when connected to the load
it is designed for. The power
readings of forward power must be made into a 50 ohm resistive load.
Your 4.2:1 SWR could be 210 ohm
(4.2 x 50) or 12 ohms
Good question! The answer is no. The 2 T-Gen is useful only for
inspecting the SSB output from the transmitter.
The N-Gen wideband noise generator is the kit you'll want to use for
aligning the IF and for setting the CW/SSB filters.

Hi Guys
Can someone give and advice on my filter calibration on SSB, if I am on the
right track.
I have been looking through all the mail on filter calibration and have now
got it clear, that I will use FL1 only for TX and have focused on getting
the K2 to sound good (a very
In my experience, desoldering irons come with a tip, and the one they
come with fits at least 99% of the desoldering jobs you'll encounter -
of course you can order other ones for unusual jobs, but the one that
comes with it will be just about perfect. 73 de Alex NS6Y
