I still have the option of switching in fixed value caps to change the band segment to have a decent swr. Tony, You may have already considered and rejected this, but have you considered the old zener diode/relay stacking method to switch in caps/inductances - you control the number of relays

[Elecraft] Honey I melted my K2

I suppose it had to happen sometime. I've been testing some K2 software which operates the rig on tx and using it with a dummy load which is a very old ethernet 50 ohm bnc terminator. It got a little warm at 1 watt, but I inadvertantly ran it overnight at 10 watts. This morning, the dummy

Bryan, snipShould we all equip ourselves with emergency communication facilities like the KX1 ?/snip? Perhaps we can try out some EAE (Earth-Asteroid-Earth) activity when it gets close. The first one to duck loses all multiplier points. hehe Tony G7IGG

Hi Michael, snip Perhaps the addition of a small molex connector or something like that would allow for easy removal?snip I did just that with my K1. I found a small racing car type battery connector plug socket and wired that in. Regards Tony G7IGG

Re: [Elecraft] K2 commands - software guru help needed

Hi Stewart, This rang a bell with the findings I had when developing the long-awaited K2Z. Probably the only design issue with K2 serial IO is that there is no feedback from some of the commands making it difficult to pace the sending of commands. I'm not sure how this compares to Kenwoods etc.

Stewart, Sometimes (and there seems to be no predictability about this) the K2 does not take kindly to too many commands sent in one go especially when a band change is involved in the string. To test your character strings in Hyperterminal use the paste buffer to send the strings fast, rather
