I'll add my vote of thanks for Don's assistance as well. It's been a while since I built my K2 but I do recall having to bounce a few questions off the group and Don was always quick to answer. I may not yet be finished with working on the critter so may require help sometime again. There is a

Good choice. NO noise blanker here and none needed so I can't help with that. The K2 has one of the quietest receivers I have used and I like it. I have the 160 module and the ssb module and that's it. I mainly use mine for cw so the ssb is not a particularly needed item but from time to

You said: Quote: I did order the NB module yesterday, tho, as the rig is basically unusable at night now due to the line noise. I believe that's the last thing I really need to add to the rig. Unquote Congrats once again on the K2 and the QSO. I don't have the noise blanker and unless I go

Congrats on the K2 receiving on 40. It's only a month or so back that I finished mine so easy for me to remember the thrill of hitting the switch and having it come up working. I used mine on cw for a week or so then went on to the ssb board which allows digital modes as well as phone. Still

sound like on my Icom or Yaesu, but I suspect I will never get the radio to that stage. I do have a scope so maybe I can utilize it to best advantage for setting up the audio and the filters. Just wanted to pass along my thanks for the replies received to my question. 73 Garry 2rGarry wrote

[Elecraft] [K2] K2 -- Audio output

2010-01-11 Thread 2rGarry
The speaker audio seems a trifle low on my K2. With headphones it's good but I have to crank the volume control quite high to get decent audio output from the speaker. I suspect that the audio is just as designed. Is that typically the case with the K2? Or should I be looking for a problem?
