Assumption: you're talking about the Elecraft XV-50
The XV outputs 20W independent of the drive configuration. It can be
driven with as little as 1mw of 28Mhz power. Assuming you use a K60XV,
the existence of the 100W bit doesn't matter .. without K60XV you
would use the original output
Sure Jim .. it's called the KRC2 :)

Is it possible to access K2 band data information in order to make it

XV owners .. I'm going to be fabricating a set of replacement side
panels for the XV series next week. They will replace the existing
side panels to allow a stack of 4 XV's to be mounted together, spaced
so that BNC T-s and barrels will connect the in/out if ports, and will
have a bend and
Recent model K2, just built the K60XV for it. VRDET looks fine .. half
a volt at the low end up to about 3.5 on the high end, and the
meter/display increase smoothly. When I connect one of the XVs to it,
the XV out pegs at about 150mw indicated and if I back the poiwer down
to min it still shows 4

Problem is if I enable
Trying to use Wayne's procedure for calibrating my dial using WWV on
10 Mhz. So I tuned it in using Spectrogram with 500/600 hz markers to
match the tones. Tweaked C22 till VXO and BFO matched up. Ran cal PLL
and cal FIL. Now I hear the signal fine, USB/LSB/CW, tuned in fine,
but the display is
Finally got around to building the XV432 this weekend .. pretty much
goes together just like the other XV's, took me about 6 hours. Fired
up just fine, got it tweaked and on the air last evening.
I'll be drilling the prototype combination end-panel this evening, and
if all goes well I'll post a

It actually wasn't all that hard to get em lined up for the plumbing

installing BNC plumbing :)

I'm no metallurgist, but I'd do some testing to make sure that temp
doesn't make the copper weird and brittle. Seems to me that I've had
magnet wire go brittle in the flame of a butane lighter. Wiggle around
a stripped piece and make sure it doesn't snap off easily ..

now *that* thing is cool .. someone should come up with one of those
with powerpoles mounted instead of bananas ...

I use one of these along with a cable I made, banna plugs on one end, power

Especially if driving a short stack of antennae, with near-field
interaction? I'd love to hear from others running similar
configurations to compare notes ..

I've been running a pair of K2s + 5 XV transverters + KRC2 in my rover

I use a pair of Jacobs Accuvolts .. and they're pretty noisy on 6M
(the lowest frequency in the rover). One of them is on all the time
and lives in an RF-tight box with industrial filtered feedthroughs,
the other is keyed by the sequencer for the low-band station so it's
