I was wondering if anyone would be interested in an AMTOR sked in ARQ mode. I
worked a station last year in this mode across the pacific when the band was
seemingly dead. I used the K2, 5W and a dipole antenna. It's a terrific mode
and I still consider it to be one of the better digi modes
Hi
I have a couple of K2’s here K2 QRP and a K2/100 (not built by me)
I have built a K1 over Christmas and now want to smell solder again!
I would like to buy a K2 kit but just before I do I was wondering how much
Duty etc I can expect to pay when the Kit arrives here.
Anyone that as ordered

I say Morse Code is a language form or type of language, rather than an
encoding method or transcribing scheme. Here's why:
Consider written English vs. spoken English vs. sung English (songs and
such, with English words. They're all forms of English, but they're not exactly
equivalent.
Operating protocol today is absolutely atrocious at times!
A lot of the newer hams know nothing about really proper procedure and
many are very short on manners!
Biggest violation of all is when someone calls CQ, another station just
answers W1ABC W1ABC K. Who is he calling? I usually respond by

Morse turned out in practice not as useful as the Tap code.

There are only 4 signals (AUXBUS, 8R, VRFDET, and 12CTRL) to deal with, so
only 5 conductors are needed. The cable supplied with the KPA100 or the KIO2
normally used for the computer connection (4 C + shield) will do the job if
you use the shield as the ground connection. Since you need

Hi
I have built several K2/100's in this configuration. I used a 3 foot

This is great information, guys, thanks. I expect
that a LOT of 10W K2 owners will be adding KPA100

Hello everyone! My first post to this august group.
I've always suspected my K1 receiver to be a little weak because of very weak
audio fro the speaker although headphone volume is fine. Not knowing whether
it was an audio or RF problem, an XG1 was ordered and here are the results @
Hi, Clark:
It sounds like you are dealing with two different issues: Minimum
Discernable Signal (MDS) measurement and raw audio power.
The MDS that you are measuring with the XG1 should not be associated with
how much racket you get in the speaker or phones. A very poor receiver can
make a lot

The K2 is duty free in the EU. You will have to pay a fee to Parcel Post for
handling the package through customs - depends on the import value, I paid
13.50 GBP, and the VAT.
The EU class the K2 as Transceiver Apparatus for Radio Telephony with
category codes 8525 2099 00 and 8529

I need to extend the length of the Y cable coming off of the back of the K2

Probably a dumb question but I don't want to fry anything in the KIO2.

Once you have constructed the K2 to computer cable properly, yes, you may
