Would appreciate your thought on exactly what I need to specify on this kit order- and some quotes Many thanks John From: John Daws <johndaw...@gmail.com <mailto:johndaw...@gmail.com> > Sent: 04 January 2019 11:56 To: 'Peter Waters' <peter.wat...@wsplc.com <mailto:peter.wat...@wsplc.com> > Subject: RE: New customer message on December 14, 2018 at 02:22 AM Peter - have considered all advice and now feel ready to make a definite order; I have also found someone I trust to build the kit. I would like to order a K2/100 kit. For CW use only. 1.I don't think therefore I need the SSB adapter? 2.I don't need the 160/60 metre modules. 3.Are the audio filter options needed - would they enhance CW operation?? 4.I would need to ask you about the High performance noise blanker?? 5.I would not need the Hand Mic and I don't know what the 'Elecraft Logo hat is??!! 6.My understanding is that the ATU KAT100 would have to be an external unit for the K2/100. A price on this would also be needed. 7.SOME IDEA OF PRICE BASED ON THIS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Please feel free to phone me or respond by e-mail so I can move this forward. I appreciate that the kits have to be ordered from the USA.

I built myself a K2 around 12 years ago and enjoyed it a lot. However, it is a component level kit and also requires coils to be wound. We do actually import the kits to order but I am not aware of any UK builder that currently offers a build service. It is quite a few hours work and would only really be economical if you could find somebody who could build it as a a hobby project rather than a commercial operation. The KX3 is actually very close to the K2 in terms of power output and has a lot more features. An amplifier would be a better route to go. The kit versions are quite easy to build and require no special skills or test equipment. It is totally solder less. I will be happy to give you any additional advice you may need.

The radio operators here in the US that would rather not build, purchase the kit and have it shipped directly to a builder then on to themselves. Perhaps Waters and Stanton can provide you a list of folks they feel are good builders?

Name: John Daws Email: johndaw...@gmail.com <mailto:johndaw...@gmail.com> Phone: 00441527893645 Body: Just an enquiry from UK customer. Have currently got and enjoy a KX3 but with my 2E0 license now I can use 50 watts.* I am CW only and likely to remain so! I tried a K2/100 yesterday at a dealers and love it to bits- its simplicity and ease of operation- but have no way of knowing the quality of the build inside the chassis: it appears to work! Waters and Stanton in the UK have been very helpful but they no longer import K2's. Is it posible to order a BUILT K2/100 from you and if so how much would it cost me? I would be more reassured if you were able to do the build but the costs and shipping might be prohibitive? I would appreciate any advice . best wishes John M6KET/2E0XET * Have also considered the KXPA100 as a preamp for the KX3 but the K2/100 really does interest me as a 'new' rig and the K3 is out of my price bracket. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
