I'm thinking about taking my K2/10 out for POTA/SOTA ops which involve some
hiking.Mine has the extra heavy duty extended side panels. I'll be taking a
fiberglass pole, microphone, paddle, headphones and battery in addition to
other basic day hike stuff.

Did you eliminate the idea it might of been RF? You might try it in place of
your K3 for awhile to see if it acts up at your home station.

I hope that a lot of you got out to enjoy field day with your Elecraft rigs.
High band propagation on Saturday afternoon was just so-so, and the low
bands were very noisy last night; but I had a good time with my K2 anyway.
I operated in class 1B with the K2 connected to a deep cycle battery and a
If you scan down this link, you can see KB7UQD powering a K2 for our natural
powered QSOs... We find we get a much more optimum QSO/beer ratio using a K2
over other radios.Thought about using the K3 we used for the rest of the CW
QSOs but I was too chicken of a regulator failure...

We just took a three-day field trip with the older kids from the
school up to Lake Tahoe. I took the K2 along with my SGC-231 tuner and
some wire. We used a 40' end-fed wire with a counterpoise. We got on
the air and had reasonable luck on 80M (phone) but no luck on 40M or
20M. The problem
I've seen a couple of posts about folks having some interesting
problems with their K2s on Field Day. I also had an event, and
wonder if anyone else has seen this problem before.
After operating most of Saturday afternoon, I turned off my K2/100
around 6 to break for supper. Since my wife had

Larry,
In the past, I have seen several reports of the erroneous PA HOT message
behavior - it seems to me that it typically happens during a portable
operating situation - perhaps caused by some mysterious power glitch or
something like that. I really don't know the reason behind this loss

enter that value into the CAL tPA menu parameter.

Hi Larry:
I've gotten the PA HOT warning when my K2/100 was in the car and had
been left outside on a less-than 40-degree F night!
The problem, in my case, was that the firmware (unfortunately, I can't
recall the version number, but it was relatively new) wasn't able to
account for REALLY LOW
There is also the conversion I use because I never can remember when and
where to add or subtract 32 degrees without thinking about it.
Both scales coincide at -40 degrees, so simply add 40 degrees to the
temperature to start with, then multiply by 5/9 or 9/5 depending on
whether you are

Was the case exposed to sun heating during the operating period? A dark
case, or any non reflective painted case, can develop quite a bit of heat
from sun exposure even in mild weather. That coupled with high duty cycle
of FD might have triggered the hi temp condition.

If anyone remembers their Physics 101 Painted Tin
Can experiment - one painted light, and one painted
dark - the K3 will naturally be an internally hot
rig, on field days. In Physics 101 class - the
can painted black - took on like 20% more internal
heat, than did the can painted light. Heat
once I get it in Grey. :-))
