Ron's right, but if you plan to do this a lot, I think I'd attach a
dummy load to the radio and turn down the power. That way, the finals

This is especially good
Hello all,
I received K2 #5000 in the mail this week. Now I need to finish up a
few other projects before I can dig in to the kit. This is going to be
fun!!

Doug, I'm normally a calm and rational guy, and I would NEVER wish ill
will to any Elecrafter, but that SN 5000

Hi Maggie,
Thank you so much for responding, I was afraid everyone was out fourthing.
I seriously hoped you were wrong about checking the soldering on U1 as the
pins are hidden by the glass-thing on the front side.
But, I dutifully checked everything again and made an absolutely ghastly

I have both FIL1 FIL2 set to OPT1. I adjusted both as described in

Then I adjusted FL1 to make my voice sound good when transmitting.
While LSB still has a lower pitch than SSB, both sound pretty decent.
However, FIL1 is now much less
Thanks everyone. Dummy load is attached and practice has commenced.
I'm really surprised at how quickly I can duplicate the sounds of each
letter using the paddle and keyer. It must be much more difficult to
get the timing correct with a straight key.

It would have done the same with an analog meter, Tom. The circuit you were
probing undoubtedly contained semiconductors (ICs, transistors, diodes,
etc.), not just pure resistors. With the leads one way, the internal battery
in the DMM causes some of those semiconductor junctions to be forward
I spend hours on the computer doing e-mail, work, and creative tasks.
This cuts into my on-air time, so I put a QRP rig right beside the
computer. This allows me to check the bands once in awhile and keep my
CW skills sharp while taking my mind off the computer. I typically turn
the rig on

Why is it not suited on a deck?

Because it relies on capacitive coupling to ground to form the
other half of your antenna. It could be used on a deck simply
as a mount but then you would have to attach some sort of
tuned counterpoise to it.
I had my K2 off to replace a defective headphone jack and
when I powered it back on, I decided to track how far off
freq the rig was and how long it would take to warm up to
spec. I used Spectran and measured WWV's carrier in USB
mode on .400. Here are the results:

Oh yes.
In the Koch method (I think that's the right one), you learn a few letters
and then work up. So you might learn I and e and then practice them
until you get very good.

Who has 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000?
I'd have been happier with a prime number:
my 4962 has factors 2, 3, and 827.

Hello All,
I hope that those of us in the US are enjoying the holiday weekend. I have a

once built, will be
capable of all six bands. With that being said, If this capacitor is to help
