I have a K2 SN 670, so I bought the upgrade firmware (2.04r and Main, i

All work well but the ATU is not working.
The first test that fails is CALn, no data is displayed, only ATU is
displayed.
AGAIN IF I INSERT THE OLD MAIN FIRMWARE ATU WORK WELL AGAIN.

Giuliano,
Did you make the trace cut and add the wires to change the sidetone
signal source? The changes are shown in the KIO2 manual page 10 and
also in the KPA100 manual page 59.
Check and double check those changes. Especially the position of the
wire and capacitor at Control Board P4.
I finally got around to writing up what I did to equip my loaded
K2/100 for digital modes.
This board is based on the design of EA3BLQ (SK), and fits between the
front-panel and control boards in the K2.

Elecraft has not made the memory commands/protocol public, no other
option seems to be available. So
Ran a couple of tests this morning and found that using ESSB only extends the
transmit BW up to 3500Hz, so concurr that the ease of changing modes with DATA
A far outweighs the slight change in BW and lots of buttons to push making sure
EQ and comp etc are properly set if you don't use DATA A.
Speaking of contesting and QRQ . . . one of the things I have wondered
about is what is the correlation between contest score and CW speed?
Has anyone ever noted speed and then compared to score?
There are obviously a lot of pitfalls to this - antenna, location, and
op being the main ones.
The K3 will put out good clean audio from about 80Hz to a little over 4K.
Transmit audio is just great. Receive audio is another story.

The contest winners clearly are superior ops and will use whatever speed
