[Elecraft] K2: Intermittent fault on 15m and 12m.

Hi All Once in a while I have an issue with my K2 on 15m and 12m in that there is no receive and, according to the internal power metering, next to no transmit. As I say this is intermittent. The radio is currently in it's QRP format with an internal battery fitted. However this issue crops

Hi David and Stephen Thanks very much for the replies to my enquiry and I've followed the advice from both of you and got a slightly lower capacity battery (2.3Ah) from an Ebay trade for just under 9GBP+postage (total 13.45GBP) I did get a reply from Powersonic UK who pointed me to one of their

[Elecraft] K2 PS-1229 Battery???

Hi All I recentley aquired a complete battery kit for the K2 off of Ebay. The kit had been purchased by the seller but never built and came complete with the Powersonic PS-1229 battery. Now here's the rub. The battery must have been sat for sometime and now refuses to charge. After 16hrs of

Re: [Elecraft] The tortuous road from Aptos to UK

Hi Stewart It's not that unusual, unfortunately. Last month I ordered the XG-3 from Elecraft. It took just under two days to cross the Atlantic, then spent 10 days at HMC. I called Parcelfarce and they informed me that HMC is suffering from a backlog and low manning. In Europe we probably

[Elecraft] K2 KNB2 Issue

Hi All I have an elderly K2 which had the original KNB2 installed, the one with the two trimming capacitors in the bandpass filter circuit. I ordered the revised board and this was built yesterday. The issue is that with the new board installed the sensitivity is very much reduced which is

[Elecraft] K2 Noise Blanker Questions

I'm in the process of trying to bring an early K2 (serial#653) kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, I'll also point out that I'm not the original builder of this radio. For a while I've not been overly convinced about the sensitivity and dynamic range of this particular example, it

[Elecraft] K2 Build # 653 SSB issues.

Hi All I have in my possession a K2 with the following options. KPA100, KSB2, K160RX, KNB2, KDSP2, . I’m not the original builder of this example and the source of the original builder is a little vague. So far I have done a complete reset of the radio, fine tuned the alignment of the

Knowing Bob I can confirm he is signifiantly more literate than the scammer who originated the email, which interestingly did originate from Kuala Lumpar (IP Trace). I've sent Bob an email off line alerting him that he has been spoofed on the reflector. Regards Nidge (G0NIG) IO93dv -

Re: [Elecraft] queer behaviour !

I'm going through the process of rebuilding a Heathkit SB-200. One of the additions is a Softkey CCT from Harbach which will reduce the -120Volt + to a value suitable for nearly all modern tranceivers' PTT out line. The cost of the CCT is about $27 and easy to construct and install. Regards

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Encoder problems continue.

Hi Geoff. It is a real puzzler. I have checked the voltages on the encoder and these switch between 4.95V and 100mV when the shaft is rotated slowly, they don't alternate between each other but are in sync. It is possible to change the frequency using the encoder but only by a small amount and

[Elecraft] K2 VFO / Encoder Problem

I have in my possession a K2 that has developed a fault with the encoder. When trying to tune the radio, rotating the encoder results in just the last digit displayed flickering back and forth. At first I thought the Optical encoder had failed and so ordered a replacement from Elecraft which
