[Elecraft] [K2] Current setting?
What should I have my Current setting set at? I see it occasionally showing high current when running SSB on the bench into a 50 ohm load. Is this some sort of current limiting setting for the power amp? It was set at 2.x amps and I set it to ~3.5a tonight and noticed the 160m power shot up to 10w on the Bird meter after that. Before moving the current setting up, it would show maybe 2-5w output just talking into the mic. I run the compression at 2:1 and the other setting at 3. I think I am saying that right but I am a newbie to this rig so...hi hi... Also using a Kenwood MC-43S mic. The audio sounds clean listening on a TS-440 on all bands 160 thru 10m, skipping 30m of course...

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Time Keeper v0.1
David, it works very well here on my Mac. It does require I use my KUSB and not my microHAM DIGIkeyer - it doesn't understand the D/K serial port. However, how about incorporating this into the K3 utility, so we can set the clock whenever we do a firmware upgrade. OK, that's not as often as perhaps running K3 Time Keeper, but for those of us that just want to keep the K3 clock close to real time, that works and saves me remembering to run K3 Time Keeper when I do switch to the KUSB for updates. And for others, they can use K3 Time Keeper. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. -Isaac Asimov, scientist and writer (1920-1992) On 12 Mar 2009, at 01:49, David Fleming wrote: I've had a few requests for the K3 time updater I mentioned the other day.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 vs K3 ?
John Jeffers wrote: Hi I looked through the Archives and FAQ's and see the K3 is a All in one rig with top of line features. The K2 was the former one. With a little less features and not all in one processor. It uses pic 18C452 instead of 18F452 etc so you can't flash upgrade it as easily. (I program Linux systems and PIC systems.) But I can make a qrp rig for $770 K2 kit instead of $1400 K3 semi-kit and I am an electrical engineer. Is there any good reason to go to the K3? VE3GYV John P.S. K1's sell for more assembled on Ebay than Kits So the issues of losing money on the rig appear to not be true. I have a K2, and went for the K3 because of its much improved support for digimodes (which were really an afterthought on the K2) and FM (which isn't catered for at all.) The fact that the currency exchange rates were favourable at the time I ordered it, and the credit crunch hadn't happened, had a bearing on it too. I think the K2 and K3 are like apples and oranges. The K2 is a more basic radio with an emphasis on portability (small size, light weight, low current consumption, facility for internal battery.) Plus it has the unique benefit that you get to build it. The K3 is clearly designed to be more of a high end desktop radio for those who want the ultimate in receiver performance. And even if you'd prefer to build it, you only get to assemble it. If you aren't sure you need the K3 then in my opinion you probably don't. I don't chase DX, I only contest casually, and I don't really need a high end radio. If Elecraft had brought out a K2 Mk II with 1Hz VFO resolution and dedicated input/outputs for digi modes it would probably have done the job for me, even without FM. So your decision will surely depend on whether there are things you want to do that the K2 can't do. - Julian, G4ILO.

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Current setting?
Mike, What is the voltage of your power supply? If it is 13.8 volts or higher, there should be no HI CUR messages during normal operation with CAL CUR set to 3.50. If the PS voltage is low (or you have a bad power cable connection), you may see those messages at higher power settings. The K2 maintains power level, and for any given power, it will take more current if the voltage is low. If you power supply voltage is good, but your power output is low, Hi Curr warnings are an indication of a problem. I assume the power outputs that you site are average readings on SSB - if so, that is probably OK. What do you get when you use TUNE is the real question. You may leave the CAL CUR setting at 3.50 Amps or even higher. You might see some HI CURR messages on particular bands if you run the power control all the way to max - but don't do that, just set the power to 12 watts or less and you should not see any. Yes, the CAL CUR setting will limit the power output if that current is exceeded. That is really a helpful indicator if one is running from a battery - the message tells you that the battery voltage has dropped and a re-charge may be necessary. If used in that manner, you can set the CAL CUR to any point you desire, but with an AC power source, you can run CAL CUR up to 4 amps with no problem. 73, Don W3FPR Mike-WE0H wrote: What should I have my Current setting set at?

Chuck, I have never seen a mobile bracket for the K2. Use whatever works for you installation.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Time Keeper v0.1
David, Thank you for sharing! Win version work perfectly with my K3 #1212!

Mac version (OS X 10.3 or later) http://sight.net/K3Time/K3Time.zip Windows XP/VISTA (maybe 98 not sure) http://sight.net/K3Time/K3TimeWin.zip It's very easy to use and should be self-explanatory. Select the appropriate serial port and baud rate the first time the program is run. It will remember these settings, so they need to be set only once. To display UTC time, click the UTC checkbox. To return to local time, uncheck it. Be sure the computer's system clock is set properly, and if applicable, set for Daylight Savings Time. To setup unattended updates, click the Auto-Update checkbox. This will automatically update the time on the K3 whenever the program is run (if the K3 is attached and turned on, of course). When Auto-Update is enabled the program will automatically send the current system time to the K3 and then terminate after a 10 second delay. The delay allows time to turn off auto-update if need be. On Windows, you could use Scheduled Tasks in the control panel to set a time schedule for automatic execution of the program. On the Mac, a cron job (crontab) could be used. Cronnix is a nice Aqua frontend for cron if you're not familiar with creating crontabs from Terminal. I'm not sure how well the K3 clock keeps time. I never use it. But I would think updating the time once a week or even once a month would be sufficient. Click the Update K3 button to send the current system time to the K3. That's all there is to it. The K3 time will not be *exact* with the computer, but it will get it close (within 0.5 second or so). I get the best results by clicking the update button as soon as a new second begins. Waiting until late into a second will result in the K3 being a second behind. Try clicking the update button several times until you get a good visual sync. I've done very little testing of the Windows version. There could be bugs. The program works by sending a sequence of CAT commands to the K3. Clicking Update K3 begins this sequence: K31; // Enables K3 extended mode MN073; // Enters CONFIG:TIME Menu option DS;// reads VFO A display area (now displaying TIME) Parse DS; command response to get K3 HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND. Determine computer HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND. SWT13; // select SECOND UP; or DN; until K3 SECOND = computer SECOND SWT12; // select MINUTE UP; or DN; until K3 MINUTE = computer MINUTE SWT11; // select HOUR UP; or DN; until K3 HOUR = computer HOUR MN255; // exit menu DONE..

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Current setting?
Hi Don, OK on the KAT2. On the current question, I am seeing 14.36v supplied to the radio on receive and 14.21v on transmit. A little bit of a drop with the long wires to my assembly bench where I have been testing the K2 at. Power output using the TUNE button and running through a Bird 43 meter into a 50 ohm Decibel load, varies from 10w at 1.8mc, 15-18w from 3.5mc thru 24.9mc and back down to 10w at 28.5mc. The power setting is at 10.0w on the radio. I did not see any high current indicator when I tested it a few minutes ago. I seen the high current message last night with the current setting as it was factory default. It is now set to 3.5a. I noticed the radio will put out 20w on any band from 75m thru 17m but as you said keep it at 10w. Voltage measurements are with a Fluke 77 DVM measured at the radio's power cable.

[Elecraft] [K2] 160m sensitivity below 1.9mc?
Is it normal for the sensitivity to drop off starting at 1.9mc on 160 meters? The power output is 10w across the whole band but tuning from 2mc on down, there is a real apparent sensitivity degrade starting at 1.9mc. I have the VCO tuned so it stops receiving at 1.36mc. It tunes well above 2.0mc on the other end. Is there a mod or tweak I can do to keep the hot receive sensitivity down to 1.80mc? The BC band is not important but I want all of 160 meters performing the same.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 vs. K3
Hi John, I noticed your inquiry on the Elecraft reflector this AM. I own both a K2/100 and a K3/100. I have built three K2's and my K3/100. Depending on your interests the K3 is superior, especially the receiver. The k2 was primarily designed as a CW rig and lacks in SSB output. The VOX perpormance is inadequate. Don't however get me wrong the K2 is an excellent product provided it is assembled properly. It is very easily put together and you will obtain excellent help, if needed, from Elecraft or the many responders to the reflector. The K3 is the best transceiver available today' bar none. There is nothing that it cannot do. Buy the kit version, save $300. I live in Wellesley, a small town west of Kitchener/Waterloo. Feel free to e-mail or call me if I can help in your descision. 73, Bob VE3XM 519 656-9940 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

So I've made it available for download. Mac version (OS X 10.3 or later) http://sight.net/K3Time/K3Time.zip Windows XP/VISTA (maybe 98 not sure) http://sight.net/K3Time/K3TimeWin.zip It's very easy to use and should be self-explanatory. Select the appropriate serial port and baud rate the first time the program is run. It will remember these settings, so they need to be set only once. To display UTC time, click the UTC checkbox. To return to local time, uncheck it. Be sure the computer's system clock is set properly, and if applicable, set for Daylight Savings Time. To setup unattended updates, click the Auto-Update checkbox. This will automatically update the time on the K3 whenever the program is run (if the K3 is attached and turned on, of course). When Auto-Update is enabled the program will automatically send the current system time to the K3 and then terminate after a 10 second delay. The delay allows time to turn off auto-update if need be. On Windows, you could use Scheduled Tasks in the control panel to set a time schedule for automatic execution of the program. On the Mac, a cron job (crontab) could be used. Cronnix is a nice Aqua frontend for cron if you're not familiar with creating crontabs from Terminal. I'm not sure how well the K3 clock keeps time. I never use it. But I would think updating the time once a week or even once a month would be sufficient. Click the Update K3 button to send the current system time to the K3. That's all there is to it. The K3 time will not be *exact* with the computer, but it will get it close (within 0.5 second or so). I get the best results by clicking the update button as soon as a new second begins. Waiting until late into a second will result in the K3 being a second behind. Try clicking the update button several times until you get a good visual sync. I've done very little testing of the Windows version. There could be bugs. The program works by sending a sequence of CAT commands to the K3. Clicking Update K3 begins this sequence: K31; // Enables K3 extended mode MN073; // Enters CONFIG:TIME Menu option DS;// reads VFO A display area (now displaying TIME) Parse DS; command response to get K3 HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND. Determine computer HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND. SWT13; // select SECOND UP; or DN; until K3 SECOND = computer SECOND SWT12; // select MINUTE UP; or DN; until K3 MINUTE = computer MINUTE SWT11; // select HOUR UP; or DN; until K3 HOUR = computer HOUR MN255; // exit menu DONE..

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Time Keeper v0.1
We plan to do this. I'm working on a couple of more extensive features in the k3 Utility and I'm also working on accessibility issues for our blind users. David is one of the K3 Utility authors and we share ideas often. We'll get there! In the mean time, David developed a standalone utility that fulfills whatever immediate need there is or this function. Priorities are always under review. But setting the K3's TOD clock, easy as it is to implement, hasn't ever been at the top of the list. Constantly shifting priorities in development projects is a sure way to extend the overall schedule and in the end reduce quality. Feature lists should be reviewed periodically. I do have a list, and the TOD clock effort is on that list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Time Keeper v0.1
We plan to do this. I'm working on a couple of more extensive features in the k3 Utility and I'm also working on accessibility issues for our blind users. David is one of the K3 Utility authors and we share ideas often. We'll get there! In the mean time, David developed a standalone utility that fulfills whatever immediate need there is or this function. Priorities are always under review. But setting the K3's TOD clock, easy as it is to implement, hasn't ever been at the top of the list. Constantly shifting priorities in development projects is a sure way to extend the overall schedule and in the end reduce quality. Feature lists should be reviewed periodically. I do have a list, and the TOD clock effort is on that list. It's not at the top. I'm looking forward to this enhancement. It will be very useful. Isn't it great that Dick, Lyle, Wayne and other K3 designers are pumping out improvements continually? I'm kinda glad everything isn't already done because the K3 just keeps getting better. While we're looking forward to the new stuff, it is really impressive to look backward at all that has been accomplished the past two years.

VE3GYV John Absolutely, yes, there are many good reasons to go K3 over K2. I had a K2 and really liked it but wished it did some things better. The K2 s-meter left me rather unimpressed. CW sidetone quality was good but not great. I used an external AF filter to clean it up. The K2 display didn't give all that much information. The fan on the K2/100 is very noisy. I used an external fan to keep the rig cool so the internal fan would not turn on. The K2's SSB performance was good but no better. I run CW only so I didn't care, however. I upgraded to a K3/10 and absolutely love it. CW sidetone is very sweet. AGC performance is better (adjustable). The S-meter is better. Display is better. I have 2 key inputs (one for paddles one for manual key) instead of just one. The rig feels like a real rig rather than a very nice QRP rig. When you do your price comparison, make sure you're comparing equivalent rigs. The K3 comes with built-in DSP and does not need AF filtering. With the K2 you have to add the DSP or AF as an option.

For situations where time is important, it's worth learning about NTP. It's an open protocol and is run by default on most unix-like OSes.

It doesn't do a simple sync but continually, to use the word loosely, monitors nearby time servers.

Re: [Elecraft] accurate time
Yes, NTP actually takes into account network latency between your machine and the NTP server, so when the server gives it 12:01:01.001, if the total latency is 100mS, it knows to add 50mS and so sets the time to 12:01:01.051 and it does this a number of times, to get the average time allowing for latency. That's a bit of a simplification, but you get the idea. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- A person usually has two reasons for doing something: a good reason and the real reason. -Thomas Carlyle, historian and essayist (1795-1881) On 12 Mar 2009, at 19:49, Mike Markowski wrote: For situations where time is important, it's worth learning about NTP.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 vs K3 ?
John and other Elecrafters: I am an extremely happy K2 owner. I have operated a K3 and I intend to get one someday, but I am not in a particular hurry. In the interest of full disclosure, I am strictly a CW guy, and any voice quality advantages that K3 might have over the K2 are lost on me. As other posters have mentioned, the K3 has many features that all work somewhat better than the K2. To the question of whether or not there is any good reason to go to the K3, there is one good basic engineering reason. It has better dynamic range. On the weak signal end, the K3 local oscillator has lower phase noise than the K2. That means that in low ambient noise situations such as 10 or 6 meters, the K3 will hear weak signals that the K2 does not hear. On the strong signal end, the K3 has a saturation level as good as (or marginally better than) the rigs that sell for $10K+. That is significant in low band DXing and contesting; when you're trying to hear that weak signal on 80 meters for that rare multiplier and W5 Texas Kilowatt fires up the big rig a few 10s of KHz down the band from where you're listening, the K3 is much less likely than the K2 to be desensed (meaning that your ability to copy the rare multiplier suddenly vanishes whether or not you can actually hear the interfering signal) by his (somehow, very few of these honking big signals are transmitted by women) booming signal. Anyway, what you're paying the big bucks for is dynamic range. If you're interested in copying extremely weak signals (in the presence of large but undesired signals) in either the high bands or low bands, then the added dynamic range of the K3 is well worth the $3400 (or so) for a fully tricked out K3. If you mostly operate in a less demanding setting the added dynamic range might not be worth the extra cost. Some posters have noted that the K3 is designed to be the ultimate contest rig. Compare it to car racing. Race cars cost more than cars for highway driving. Unless you actually plan to race it, do you need to buy one? 73, Steve Kercel AA4AK The K2 was the former one.

As much as I love my K3, I'll admit that the K2 sounded better. The difference wasn't big and I may be off-base, having not done a direct A/B comparison, but I think the K2, with its simpler RX architecture, has a smoother sound than the K3.

[Elecraft] Fan controller for MFJ-4125 power supply
The MFJ-4125 PowerLite power supply is a great little unit for the price (around $100). It puts out 13.7V at 25A in a small, light package that is perfect for portable operation with the K3 or K2. Unlike some other switching supplies, it has very low electrical noise. Unfortunately the same can't be said for acoustic noise. The loud fan is the one thing people complain about. So I designed a fan controller that reduces the fan voltage for normal operation while running it at full speed when the internal heat sink warms up. I've posted an article on my web page: http://www.cds1.net/~n1al/ham/fan_controller.htm I have enough parts left over to build 4 more units. If anyone is interested I can supply a kit of parts for $5 postpaid/USA that includes the clamp and all electrical parts except for the TIP-29 power transistor. (I'll throw in a TIP-31 from my junk box that that should work the same, or you can obtain the exact part yourself.) I also have a couple PC boards left over that I'll include while they last. Email me if you're interested: n...@cds1.net .

Re: [Elecraft] K2 vs K3
John The K3 is a very portable QRP radio. I've used it the past two Field Days with battery power and my solar panels to keep the batteries up. Great field radio.

[Elecraft] K2 vs K3 ?
The difference in price between a fully equipped K2 at $1230 and a bare bones K3 at $1400 is $170, or slightly more than 10%. For that extra $170 you get a better integrated rig, six meters, FM, 20 dB better dynamic range, and a host of other features typical of top of the line rigs. If you add the 6M transverter to the K2 to bring 6M capability to the K2, the price of the K2/XV50 combination is actually higher. The base K-2 is a very nice reasonably priced CW only rig for either base or portable operation. When you add in SSB, computer I/o interface, 160M, 60M/transverter interface, noise blanker, and the DSP filter, it seems like less of a good deal, especially when compared to the K3. So if you want a barebones K2, that is a good deal. If you want a full featured rig, you are better off with the K3. The K2 is better than the K3 in two respects, it is smaller and it draws less current. For most people, the K3 is a much better deal than the K2. - Duffey -- KK6MC James Duffey Cedar Crest NM __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] K2 vs K3 ?
I must agree with Jim Duffey's assessment. The K2 is a great transceiver, but when all the options are added to make it an all band 160m through 10 meter transceiver with SSB and noise blanker and audio DSP, the K3 with its built-in 160 meter through 6 meter coverage, built-in IF DSP which allows not only SSB but FM and AM modes too, the small price differential makes the K3 a bargain priced transceiver. A basic K3/10 will do all that a K2/10 will do and more. One does not need to fill all the filter slots, nor add all the options to have a great performing transceiver, so the price comparison should be between a basic K3 and a K2 with the K160RX, KNB2, KSB2 and KDSP2 options - there is not much of a difference. Of course, the K2 is built from parts soldered in by the builder while the K3 is a plug-together kit. Some may define a hand-built K2 as being more personal and therefore having more value than a plug-together K3 kit, and who am I to argue with that perspective, it is a thrill to see something you assembled from small bits and pieces come to life. Both the K2 and the K3 have their great points, but if you are after the best performance for the dollar, the basic K3 is IMHO the best deal on the ham market today. The K2 is also a bargain if one is willing to give up some of the bands and features that come 'stock' with the basic K3, and for portable QRP operation, the K2 has less current draw which leads to more operating time on a battery. 73, Don W3FPR James Duffey wrote: The difference in price between a fully equipped K2 at $1230 and a bare bones K3 at $1400 is $170, or slightly more than 10%. For that extra $170 you get a better integrated rig, six meters, FM, 20 dB better dynamic range, and a host of other features typical of top of the line rigs. If you add the 6M transverter to the K2 to bring 6M capability to the K2, the price of the K2/XV50 combination is actually higher. The base K-2 is a very nice reasonably priced CW only rig for either base or portable operation. When you add in SSB, computer I/o interface, 160M, 60M/transverter interface, noise blanker, and the DSP filter, it seems like less of a good deal, especially when compared to the K3. So if you want a barebones K2, that is a good deal. If you want a full featured rig, you are better off with the K3. The K2 is better than the K3 in two respects, it is smaller and it draws less current. For most people, the K3 is a much better deal than the K2. - Duffey -- KK6MC James Duffey Cedar Crest NM __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] K2 vs K3 ?
Don Wilhelm wrote: I must agree with Jim Duffey's assessment. The K2 is a great transceiver, but when all the options are added to make it an all band 160m through 10 meter transceiver with SSB and noise blanker and audio DSP, the K3 with its built-in 160 meter through 6 meter coverage, built-in IF DSP which allows not only SSB but FM and AM modes too, the small price differential makes the K3 a bargain priced transceiver. While I have NO argument with this reasoning, I chose to build the K2 because I could afford it as a basic kit. And I have every reason to think that I'll be able to afford to add about one of the listed options a month. This I will be able to do without putting anything on my already overstressed credit cards. Were I to try to buy a K3 it would be many months before the cash would be in hand. [ The budget committee, KB4WYR, is fully behind this project as well. And would lament having to wait for a K3.] The K2 is expected to be one of the building blocks for our VHF/UHF station, with a K3 coming along as it can. I'm thinking that this combination will give us a good high end weak signal station for 50 mhz and up. 73 de KD0R #6708 in build __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K3 on supply with amp = NO - WAS Juice your K3?
Those are my thoughts also. Follows is my way of isolating the shock of an 80 amp audio modulated load from my K3 input power supply. I do run my radio bench with a 70 amp linear Astron supply BUT I have a seperate Power supply buss(pair) and a battery buss(pair)(plus a seperate ground buss bar). The two busses are connected to each other by a knife style disconnect from an air-conditioner cutoff (new and removed from box and mounted under bench) BUT there is 25 feet or wire involved and the spare wire (about 20 of the 25 feet) is coiled up as a sort of (wimpy) inductor. BTW, the 4 buss bars (2 bar pairs) are 1/4 by 1 inch aluminum and the ground buss is 1/4 by 1 inch copper mounted on the upper back of my bench. The wire is long and is 14 ga on purpose to add resistance to partially isolate the shock of the 80 amp requirement (during audio peaks) of the ALS500 solid state amplifier. The amp is wired to the battery buss with 3 pairs of 12 ga wires (14 inches) and the battery buss is wired to the battery also with 3 pairs of 12 ga wires (12 inches). The battery is two LARGE automotive batteries (one stolen for my truck recently not yet replaced). (Flame on about gasses if you wish, I'm not listening) I don't want that shock on the power supply AND I don't want my K3 to have to try to operate properly on that kind of voltage that must be very noisy (and it matters not if the power goes out, I keep on operating). The battery buss (and batteries) is held up in non-use times by a battery maintenance charger (of no use during operation). Not one of the $7 ones that are useless on this size battery (if any), these are about $30 and are larger and intelligent and monitor and only add charge as needed. 73, de Jim KG0KP - Original Message - From: Dave Hachadorian k...@arrl.net To: Elecraft reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 11:53 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: Do you Juice your K3?

Both K3's behaved identically and both leveled off at PA Temp = 64C after about 3 minutes. For the record, here are the results (best viewed with Courier font): Time Temp Fan 0:0026C 0 0:26371 0:44412 1:19503 1:45554 2:40604 2:50624 3:15644 4:00644 Room temp was 77F.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 vs K3
The K3 draws about 1 amp with one receiver, about an amp and one half with two receivers. It draws about 20 amps transmitting 100 watts, 15 amps at 50 watts, 11 amps at 25 watts, and about 3.5 amps at 5 watts. It is very easy to set the power that you want so you don't spend any more battery than you need to. The above readings were taken with the power supply on about 13.8 volts. It weighs about 8 pounds. It is very portable in my opinion, but you might prefer a KX-1 if you are going to hike the Appalachian Trail with your transceiver and a battery.

Is the K3 portable to any degree? One of the things that attracted me to the K2 was not only building it but the fact that at least at low power, it was very portable.
