Hi, Elecraft already have a mod kit for this kind of behavior since 2005. The part number is : K2VCOSHLDKT You can also take a look at the documentation provided at : http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K2%20VCO%20sheild%20mod%20rev%20E.pdf Have a nice day. JF VA2VYZ --- Dave Jeanne Robertson

Worked Vic, K2VCO this morning on 40m CW. His K2/100 was absolutely clean with no clicks and no noise on his CW sidebands while he was running barefoot. When he ran ran QRO to his Alpha 87A, There were still no clicks, however there was noise on his sidebands extending out +/- about 1 kHz from
