Hi there Mike and all, Have read Mike's message and an alarm bell has immediately rang in my brain. What's that about a mod including a "SHIELD FOR THE SPEAKER" on the "newer K2" that may prevent Don's Fixed AF kit from being mounted in the recommended position because, as Mike says: "The speaker shield is just a bit too big"?
Have been searching Elecraft's web for info on this "K2's Speaker Shield" and have found nothing. What am I loosing? Or is Mike talking about the integrated K2/100 and is making reference to the KPA100's (not the K2) shield installed between the KPA100 and the K2 to protect the K2 from the RF emanated by the KPA100 under high SWR? If this is the case I'll switch off the "ALARM" sign and my K2DI v.III and K2DI-PCI project will be safe and sound. Greetings from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain to all. 73 Pauli, EA3BLQ K2/100 # 1044 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: www.qsl.net/ea3blq "Mike Murray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 4:18 AM Subject: [Elecraft] W3FPR's Fixed AF Output Kit Mounting >I just received Don's Fixed AF kit and would like to commend him for his >work in getting it designed and put together in kit form.
