Re: [Elecraft] K2: IF Tap Point

Since I have no had my hands on a DXE buffer amplifier, I have to guess. Jack had a bandpass filter designed for the K2 at the output that peaked the response at 4915 kHz. I have the Z1B-K2 buffer instructions on my computer.  If DXE is using the same board layout, then it should be easy

Don Do you know what has to be done (extra circuitry etc) to get the DXE Clifton Lab amp to work with a K2 and essentially mirror the functionality of Jack Smith’s one? Paul Gacek W6PNG/M0SNA > On Feb 15, 2019, at 9:41 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Jim, > > The IF take-off point normally used

Jim, The IF take-off point normally used for the K2 is at J12 pin 1 which is after the Post-Mixer amplifier. That point provides a signal that is about equal in strength to the antenna input affords isolation for BFO leakthrough. For everyone's information, DX Engineering is selling the

Good morning, I have a HupRF PAT tap buffer amp board for my K2's IF. I installed an SMA connector on the heatsink panel when I built the rig. Looking at the K2's block diagram, the IF is shown between the mixer and post-mixer pre-amp. On the schematic, that appears to be between Z6, pin 2,
