Don... I got one of the original Clifton Lab boards and installed it in my K2 [after you had serviced the unit]. Installation required a choice of pick off points: right after the first mixer, and somewhere else a bit more isolated [don't have the instructions before me]. I chose the first.

Clark, I have installed the original Z1 buffer amp in several K2s. They work very well. The DXE version is prebuilt, and should simplify installation. I see 3 reviews on the DXE website (but none for the K2), and they all show it as excellent and easy to install. 73, Don W3FPR On

So it's normal, I guess, that every new user of a product “rediscovers" some of its unique characteristics. I rediscovered the issue of the effects of the KXPA100 on PX3 cursor behavior, making it twitchy and jumpy. Since there has been previous discussion of a fix that Elecraft chimed in

Not sure about a review at DXE, but categorically anything cooked up by the late Jack Smith K8ZOA is an exceptional performer.  The CLifton ports that DXE has done have been well implemented so you can expect good results. I've used the original Clifton version of the board in a number of

The long quote is not describing the difference between "Rig" and "Fake It". It is describing the difference between "Rig" or "Fake It" (either one) and "None". It is the difference between having some method to QSY the radio between RX and TX (either "Rig" or "Fake It" can do that), and not

I'm using a KX2/KXPA100 at 40W on a Win10 laptop with WSJT-X 2.1.0 for FT8. Antenna is a G5RV at 40ft with base ATU 150ft away. I've been advised elsewhere that "Fake It" is a better choice than "Rig" for Split Mode: "it depends on what filter the radio has. Most are 2.4Khz (300-2700). If so you
