Hi, I recently purchased a K2 from a ham. It was supposed to be in great condition. It came with a few options and no mic.
I have the radio, and it makes noise like it is doing CW. I figured it was working even though I have made no contacts and the reverse beacon has not spotted me. I pulled the front so that I could verify how the mic was set. It is set for an Icom mic. I bought an Icom mic to use on it. Tried making contacts, no answer back. I now think that I was taken. I have not made a single contact. I feel bad and am starting to not like Elecraft K2. My Yaesu FT-817nd works well and I make tons of contacts with it, using same antenna as with the K2. I figure that I need to send it to somebody who can check it out and tell me if it is OK and also fix it if there is a problem. I'm not sure that there is a problem, but I want to make sure. Thank you and 73, Steve Nielsen KI4EZL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
