Doug...
Before buying the lead-acid battery, investigate the Lifepo4 battery
custom developed for the K2. Much lighter and more hours of operation.

Also, search the archives for the history of this battery/development.
Happy K2'ing.

Thanks to Don Wilhelm for his multiple suggestions on my problems with the K2 A
to B kit. Turns out that my main error was insufficient stripping of the leads
on the RFC 11 replacement toroid wire. Also I had some confusion deciphering
the value of one of the resister packs. But in any case, the radio is back to
normal now! :-)
Next step, adding the the immensely heavy internal lead-acid battery. In the
meantime, I am hoping to get my K1 on the air in the Flight of the Bumble Bees
this coming weekend.
