At the moment I mostly use my K2 (no KPA100) for data modes - PSK31 and Olivia. I've read that it's recommended you keep the power to 5 watts for these modes due to the high duty cycle, so I've been doing that. But there are times when I hear faraway stations but they don't hear me. Maybe it would be futile, but the temptation to turn up the power to try and make contact is always there.
Neither antenna improvements nor any sort of amp are in my immediate future, but I was thinking today... if cooling the finals is the main concern, has anyone tried modding their K2 to include a more beefy heatsink and a small fan? Just wondering if the idea even makes any sense... -- o...@nerdnetworks.org (Owen B.
