Yes, looks like a rough one. Just spent about 45 minutes tuning and got one

Sounds good to me, N4GM and I will head for Long Key, FL in about 15
minutes! :-)

The proposed addition of a note to use only a 3 amp power supply is not
really the best way to avoid PCB damage in case of a short. A three amp
supply (or most others unless designed to cut off if excessive current is
drawn) will supply as much power into a short as it is capable. So if the
I got a KPA100 kit in May 2003 as a birthday gift from
my wife. For a whole bunch of silly reasons, I didn't
get around to building it for over a year. The good
news about the delay is I was able to get the updates
to the kit so that it went together with no need for
changes.
It's been running

Hello Listees,
I am tying to figure out how to use the K2 as a receiver in conjunction with
another rig as a transmitter. Is there any way to mute the K2 from an external
signal. Would controlling the T/R switch from outside rig do it? If so, where
would be a good place to tie in to the K2 to
That is normal behavior, David.
Your POWER control on the K2 is really a requested power control. It does
not directly change the power level. When you transmit, the K2 senses the
actual power output and compares the watts produced with what you have
requested by setting the POWER control, then
I must not hve the latest version of K2 manual ( Revision E , Feb , 16,2003)
but again I need some more detail explanation as to the Jumper that is install
on the bottom of the control board at the J1 and J2 area which I understand is
part of the audio upgrade after testing the basic K2. Do
I'm building K2 SN 3941 and while performing the PLL range test, I get a
high frequency of 12099.86 and a low frequency of 12082.08 which works
out to a range of 17.78. Since this is outside the normal range of
9.5-15, I'm wondering what I should do.
I've checked the components D16, D17,

I experienced pretty much he same thing when building my K2. In fact, it
was just a bit more than what you are observing. However, I am of the
school that says try it and see if it works, and if not , then (and
only then) worry about fixing it
So, I did just that. In my case,
Forest,
You may want to look at my website article www.qsl.net/w3fpr dealing with
adding a CW PTT to the K2. The added PTT input will work both in CW and SSB
mode and will mute the receiver, but no RF will be produced - this will be
positively true in CW unless one also activates the paddle
Hi,
I have completed and installed the 20w internal ATU. I am now carefully
working through the tests, which have all been OK so far. Accept for
adjusting C55 to get a reading of 0. The best I can manage is about 15.
Despite a lot of fiddling!!!
All the voltages check out OK, and C55 is roughly
I am a bit sore from pounding out CQs from 10 until 2 but I did get a few
BBs. In fact all I got were bumble bees. Wasn't anyone else in the
contest? I worked 5 contacts in 4 hours and only one of them was not in a
contiguous county. Hmmm... propagation was not very good. But it did not
Went back up to Dark Springs Mountain in the Uwharrie National Forest where

Better luck on 40 meters as I suspected. Lots and lots of QRM though
because it is the only band open from what I can hear. I elicted
responses from three folks so the world is alright :) There was a bit of
QRN and QSB too so the band was as much fun as it could be. Don't want to
get bored
Hi All,
Many of you know John Grebenkemper, KI6WX, mastermind of several
improvements to the K2, designer of the Tandem Match, and frequent
contributor to ham journals.
John is an avid hiker, and embarked this weekend on a challenging trek
into the mountains of Wyoming. He's in Pinedale

You have apprarently never read (or heard) much of Will Rogers' work. In my
teens (50 years ago), I was lucky enough to discover him via recordings of his
weekly radio broadcasts in our public library. As an adult, I visited the Will
Rogers library in OK, and bought several books of his
