Hello all,
I am seriously considering ordering a K2, but before i do that i would like
to know what the 'extra costs' are before the kit is in my shack.
I think 19% tax , but are there more costs??
Tnx in advance..

HI Lynn and all,
I have been working on a Powerpoint presentation about the K2 that I want to
give at the Starc meeting in October in nearby Corpus Christi. In fact I am
hoping that Pat can also bring her rig to the meeting. I'd like to play the
video of Pat's after the Powerpoint presentation.
After I followed Wayne's procedure, I did do the CAL PLL then CAL FIL for
all the crystal filters.

If your antenna is actually struck by lightning, the antenna itself will
most likely be destroyed, along with the coax and the rig. Also the
building will suffer structural damage.

Steve,
You need some sort of capture card in your computer. If you have a firewire
port on your computer you can use MS Movie Maker to capture the video. You
should know that video takes a lot of disk space, 9GB for about 5 mins of
video. If you have a stand alone DVD recorder you could burn

Since this is copyrighted material why don't you do the simple and right
thing and ask the station for permission to use it? If they agree they can
send you the clip in a format you can use. If they don't agree then you

You are right but don't be surprised if the TV station turns him down. I got
a phone call from ESPN asking me if I could shoot some footage, of our city,

The copyright on footage of a little league game belongs to the league, not

And it's entirely within the rights of the station to turn him down.

just returned from my 2005 WAE CW activity in LX, where I operated my K2

It's actually PFn (for programmable function), not PF1. My typo.
Just locate the PFn menu entry and set it to AGC rather than nor.
I disagree. The Extra written exam is significantly harder today than
it was 30 years ago. There is a lot more detailed EE theory in it now
than there was back then. I took the test twice - in 1974, when I
