[Elecraft] Mic Pre-Amp

Hi all, I am currently using my K2 with a Heil HC-5 insert to good effect on DX. I was wondering though if I should build a little pre-amp for the mic? I notice there is a circuit on the website and I wondered if I would gain anything from building it? I don't want to put too much into the K2

RE: [Elecraft] K2 auto-detect feature

Vic and others that may be wondering on this. I use auto-detect with a hand key and paddles on the same line. The two diodes are mounted under my paddles. I have never had a spurious long dash or any other problem with the paddles, but I have noticed that if the contact on the hand key gets a

Re: [Elecraft] Mic Pre-Amp

Hello Ian, I have used a Heil HC-5 element from the very beginning with my K2, and have always found that I needed to shout into it in order for it to work satisfactorily. However, that same microphone, a Heil HM-10, worked very well with my '746PRO. In my case, I found that the levels were

Re: [Elecraft] Mic Pre-Amp

Hi Ian, Check http://www.qsl.net/la3za/K2/modAny.html where all official and unofficial K2 mods are listed. The Heil mic elements do not offer enough drive and you´re about 6-10 db down without a modification. Several solutions are described, yet there is a simple mod you can make for

Re: [Elecraft] Mic Pre-Amp

Ian, The mic-preamp works very well. I built one for my IC-765 which needed some extra help using the HC-5. I do not use SSB very much with the K2, but I did notice you have to yell pretty loud using the HC-5 with the K2. The mods do work also, but the little amp works great too. Lee

Re: [Elecraft] K2 auto-detect feature

I've never had such a problem, even after 36 hours contesting. Have a look to the diodes and the connections ! 73 Luc/F6HJO - Original Message - From: Tom Hammond [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Vic Rosenthal [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, October

Re: [Elecraft] K2 auto-detect feature

Vic I built a little keying adapter in a small can to do this. It has two jacks, one for my paddles and one for the keying lead from my TR Log laptop. The laptop jack in mono, and the paddles jack is stereo. The output is a three wire lead to the key jack in the K2. Inside the can are the two

[Elecraft] Auto-detect comments

Thanks to everyone who commented on the use of the K2's auto-detect feature. The consensus is that it works quite well, although some mentioned problems with straight keys or bugs with dirty contacts. I have encountered problems caused by contact bounce from bugs with many modern rigs,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 auto-detect feature

Hi guys, This discussion reminds me of something I've been wanting to for a while. I don't use the internal keyer in the K2 but prefer my own keyer and I'd like to parallel my computer/cw keyboard with it. What kind of circuit would this require or could I just parallel the lines together?

[Elecraft] Need a kaput D-104 mic

I have had a D-104 in use for many years and I got to thinking that 104 mic has lots of room for both HC-4 and HC-5 elements along with a spdt switch. I might even build the preamp that was just mentioned in another thread. I don't want to alter my good working mic so I am looking for one that

Re: [Elecraft] K2 auto-detect feature

Lou, It is likely that you can simply parallel the devices (connect to the K2 DOT input) and set the K2 for 'INP Hand', as long as one device does not interfere with any of the others. Before attempting it, do check for the presence of voltage from each device to be connected. If you have

Re: [Elecraft] Need a kaput D-104 mic

Hi John - I don't have an extra but I am doing exactly what you describe - have both cartridges in the same D-104 head with a mini toggle switch mounted in the rounded side of the head down near the plug assembly. A simple flick of my finger to switch from one to the other. I'm using that head
