Gang, My K2 s/n 4896 is alive and kicking! The assembly went flawless and the alignment was a piece of cake (yes, indeed), MUCH easier than aligning the K1! I finished the rig as a "evening-project" while I´m at work in Sweden (and QRV as SM/LA2MOA), and the first CW QSO was with LA9M/P on EU056 on 30 meters.
The transmitter gives 15 watts as stated in the specs and the receiver is AWESOME! It´s just soooo quiet! No white noise what so ever, and the filters are knife sharp! I have no options ordered for this one yet, but will use it for a while and then decide what options I need. Right now, the plain K2 is running in cirkles (or more like "figure eight´s") around anything I have been using before, including a number of Kenwoods, Icom´s and Yaesu´s. Even my Argonaut II is outperformed by this beauty! This is really exciting! What a wonderful rig, thank´s Elecraft! Hans / LA2MOA (currently QRV as SM/LA2MOA) KX1 #975 K1 #1992 K2 #4896 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
