Hi All,
My MH2 arrived on Friday and its first use was for field day -
My very first FD contact returned the unsolicited remark that I had a
very nice sounding signal (which never happened with my homebrew mic
using a Radio Shack replacement element).

Michael,
What? You can't look it up yourself? You can't ask me?
Check the Elecraft website for the manuals. The command set is
documented in the KIO2 Programmer's Reference manual, the comm
parameters are in the KIO2 manual.

Some of us will be nice...
4800 bps, 7 data bits, although 8 will work (you will need to strip
off the msb). 1 stop bit (2 will work), no parity, no flow control.
It is a very forgiving interface for low-level format.
The info is in the KIO2 manual and detailed info in the KIO2

Actually, I built 2 K2/100's and used them extensively. It is not a matter of
not liking hands on involvement it is just a question of time management. The
K2's were educational in their construction. This unit is like building a PC
from components, which I do for all my computers.

I am current operating /KH6 and my K2 has developed a problem (it was working
fine.) I am using a K2/100 with the KAT100 tuner. The problem only occurs on
high power.
The KAT100 tunes the antenna to a near 1:1 swr on all bands. Key down all is
OK, on key up the swr jumps to a very high level,

That definitely sounds like your KPA100 is oscillating. Do not allow it
to do that for more than a few seconds because the oscillation can cause
the demise several components.
Has your KPA100 been upgraded with the KPA100UPKT? Alternately, is this

N0MA used my K2/100 for its CW station this year. We used a 130' dipole up
about 50', fed with ladder line to a 4:1 balun then to the KAT100. It loaded
up just fine on all bands.
The guys on the phone station wanted/needed to run their cool Alpha 1500W

I am waiting my K3 shipment and I really would like to see the K3 Manual during
this waiting period.
I know, you will put it in to the web page when it is ready, but the question
is when.
Is it not possible to publish a tentative one in Elecraft web page, earlier?

Hi Ruchan,
We'll get a tentative version up as soon as it's available. It has to
match the final production firmware to avoid a lot of confusion and
questions on the reflector later.

Sounds to me like you got real lucky. I'm sure that some capacity has
been lost if you initially discovered it at 7 volts, but it seems as
though it's recovered pretty well, considering.
I'm sure others will pop in with a better answer to your question (as in
quick easy), but I will say that if

Last week I reported a little problem in the power output of this radio. I
took Don's advice and checked all relevant components (all seemed ok) and
then managed to get the correct relationship between 20 and 40 meter outputs
by adjusting both L1 and L2 as he suggested. The power still
Yup, do it. You won't regret it, nor will you blow the PA.
