Thanks to David, Don and Gary for making me feel better this morning about my resistors. I have been testing each prior to installation but when came to that group, got lazy and decided to only check them AFTER installation...which then made me wish I hadn't gotten lazy!!! Great object

I am at the 40-meter transmitter alignment stage in Alignment and Test, Part III. It instructs me to Place the K2 into tune mode and activate the built-in wattmeter by holding TUNE. Using the alignment tool, adjust L1 for maximum output. And, do the same with L2, etc. etc. etc. First,

As I have sorted through the multiplicity of K3 related postings in recent weeks (I was away from my computer one day and when I came back there were 157 new K3 postings in one 24 hour period)...I am beginning to wonder if there is life beyond the K3? Is there a real Elecraft list

Just started on my K2, SN#6048...and am new at this process. I seem to have smoked the resistor r20 in the control board, as I installed it...a 2.7 ohm (Red-Violet-Gold) resistor which now reads .001 on the DMM(I think too much heat for too long as I attempted to reposition it after it
