[Elecraft] K2 Build Sequence Question

2008-07-05 Thread Jon Perelstein
I'm thinking of building a K2. My thought is that I eventually want a K2 w/ 100 watts and SSB, but I'd like to take it in stages by first building a K2, then upping it to 100 watts, and then finally adding SSB. More specifically, I thought I'd do the following: 1. Order the K2 and a KAT100

That's exactly how the K2 was designed to be built, Jon. The design is modular so you can add the bits at any time. Each is independent of the others. When building it all at once, you're still cautioned to do it in stages like that, testing the performance at each point to be sure all is well,

PROTECTED]; 'elecraft reflector' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K2 Build Sequence Question I can't comment on the KPA100 or KAT100. Your intentions of an incremental build make sense to me. I'd make sure that the KAT100 will function as an autotuner with the basic 10 watt rig (I'm not sure it doesn't, but I'd

Jon, The KAT100 can be used with the basic K2, there are 4 internal K2 signals that must be routed to the KAT100 for it to function. So the base K2 MUST be equipped with the KIO2 or a suitable substitute (see the websites dealing with the external KPA100 for the substitute - if it works for
