Sorry, I couldn't resist giving a literal reply. Yes, the keyer speed

A few days ago I learned of a feature of the K2 I was unaware of.
Perhaps there's another one. Is it possible to configure the KAT2 so
that it is operational on ANT A, but switches straight through when
you select ANT B? I'm aware that I can tune up ANT B into a 50 ohm
load. The problem is that
I've re-run the crystal filter intermodulaton tests this morning, with 2
KHz generator spacing. This allows the IMD products to fall within the
filter passband, and gives a more useful picture of the total filter
performance.
Details and plots are at

Does the K2 have an adjustment to correctly set the cw speed? If it
does I can't seem to
find it.
When I set the CW speed on mine on 20 wpm it actually sends about 25
to 27 wpm.
I realize that you can slow this down by more spacing between the
K8ZOA:
Monolithic crystal filters are known for IMD, and the test was run with
a rather high drive level, around +9 dBm. However, the data is quite
instructive and should convince anyone who doubted that crystal filters
could themselves be a source of IMD. (These measurements are quick and
dirty

Here's some info on calculating Morse speed:

That page gives the definition as
wpm * (dot length in milliseconds) = 1200
although not explicitly.
This is the definition in many RSGB publications.

I was looking at the shipping status page on the web site
and noticed that the KRX3 (second receiver option) will not
be shipping until end of September. Since I am in the first
batch and ordered this option I guess I'll have to wait and
install it later. Is there
I'm not Wayne/Eric, but the KRX3 shipment schedule is simply a function of
parts and production bottleneck. The second RX is identical to the main RX,
so the design/implementation is well in hand. Its just that other modules
are taking priority and attention in the production pipeline right now,

But with what antennas?
Why am I so thrilled?
Hello and Happy 4th of July!!!
Just worked W0EWD in IA on 28.027 MHz.
He was a strong 599 into Eastern PA with the beam.
I plan on calling CQ for a little while on 28.060 on the beam pointing west.

So 10M is open.
A few years from now, when the Solar Flux is consistently at 125+ (or even
higher) and 10M is open all over
the world, how will you describe open?

I don't think it is too much of a problem in the heat of a contest as
you can enter the frequency or mode into the the logging window. I
particuarly do this a lot in the FOC Marathon where it is commonplace to
move someone through all 6 bands in less than two minutes. He says Try
15m, you
Hmmm.
Guess my age is showing. I've never used computer control on my
radio(s) during a contest. My K2 has no KIO, so I am stuck thinking
like a caveman.
You're right. I use a computer to log, so I might as well use it to
control the radio as well.
DUH! LOL

You don't need a computer. Just hold the Freq button (that's both of the two
upper-left buttons held as one) and type the freq using the numbers on the
right. Cli-cl-cl-click you're there, and your antenna is tuned.
