You might want to take a look at XMLog (www.xmlog.com). It's free, simple,
feature friendly with clickable band maps for instant qsy, call sign

Hi Randy - no solution here but just a couple of thoughts of things to
check/try - I'm using both HRD and N1MM quite nicely with my K2.
Did the KIO2 ever work?
Is the special KIO2 cable properly constructed?
Check that the port is actually on in the K2 menu

Participated a couple of hours in a 9A operation at N4N (amazingly
organized) and then had a little personal FD of my own with a recently
acquired K1 thanks to John (WL7M) - was KL0WN - yes, he worked as a clown
with RB BB Circus - and is a very accomplished builder! Excellent job
John - tnx
Thanks for the tip Tom - what a sweet little program! Works perfectly and
the visual and audible warnings on duplicate contacts are great! Very nice
map and history. Definitely a winner! 73 es have fun -- Don N4HH

Hi Tom - just a quick note to let you know that I use an old IBM 380ED (not
sure what the difference is between it and the 380D) with the K2 and
thankfully have not experienced the flaky communication problem that you
are having. I also use it with the Yaesu Mark V and again no problems.

Looking for a fairly bare bones K2 (could include 160 meter option and
blanker but nothing more - I've got all the rest) with serial number above
4060 (Revision F dated January 29, 2004 using the new Revision B PCB).
First choice is for one that is immaculate, nicely built with good
soldering,
Hello Chris - I am using my K2/100 with N1MM and do not notice the noise
that you are referring to. I use the K2/100 with two laptops - one an old
P1 266mhz with only 80 meg ram (yes, it works fine with N1MM as long as you
don't have anything else running!). This old computer has a real RS-232
This is a GREAT idea! There are so many extremely technically gifted guys
and gals out there with a keen interest in Elecraft and the K2 that I'll bet
it would be a huge success! Alas, I'm not one of the technically gifted so
I can't do a thing with the design but would be very willing to be a

Hi Jeff. I don't have the schematics in front of me but some of the crystal
filter capacitors were changed in the later revisions to widen the response
from about 2.1 KC (actually measured about 1.9 at 6 dB down points on mine)
to about 2.4 KC.
Agreed Mike - I'd like to see this included in the next software release
too. 73 es gud dx --Don N4HH K2/100/KPA100 #2028, etc, etc!

Hi Jim,
1. How does the K2/100 key an RF amplifier (AL-811)?
I have a Heil footswitch with a second cable for
amplifier keying. But, would prefer to use keying
from the rig itself.
The KPA100 has a built-in solid state keying circuit for positively keyed
amplifiers (like your AL-811).
Hi Thom. Not to prolong the agony (I think that Wayne has already put this
on the list - hope it moves up to a high priority), but I have the same
problem as you do and for general power-line noise, my KNB2 is useless -
however, there is a certain pop, popping, frying noise that is S9+30 on 80
OK - I can't stand it any more ! Here's my 2 cents. I want a K3! I want
it to be the same size as my Collins KWM-2 - in fact, I'd like it to look
and feel like my M2 or S-Line gear with a great cabinet, really nice
paint, excellent rotary knob placement and size with just a couple of
Hello Stewart - I did this quite a long time ago and as I recall the FL-2100
presented a negative voltage on the keying line (hu - almost 100% sure
about this but you can easily check with a VOM or DMM) and so I couldn't use
the solid state switch built into the KPA100 as it will only switch
Hi Tom. If you already have the KPA100, look on the rear panel and you will
see an RCA jack marked PA KEY OUT between the ground connection and the
power connector - this will allow you to key your external amplifier
directly - but only if your amplifier has a positive voltage for its keying
With my poor antennas and equally poor propagation (with only a couple of
exceptions, they were ESP) working the TX9 from here in the Southeast was
NOT easy for me! Like some others, I also spent pretty much the entire
period of their operation chasing them on about 5 hours of sleep per night.
Hi John - I don't have an extra but I am doing exactly what you describe -
have both cartridges in the same D-104 head with a mini toggle switch
mounted in the rounded side of the head down near the plug assembly. A
simple flick of my finger to switch from one to the other.
I'm using that head

I use an xtal element D-104 with the built in pre-amp in the bottom of the

keep the gain on the mic amp low or you will overdrive the input to the K2.

Hello Forrest. The K2/100 to the ALS-600 is a great combination. I ran the
ALS-600 with K2/100 for quite a while and then gave up the ALS-600 to my

job for him as well.
