Tex, You may have the CW tuning indicator installed in that K2.
Remove the top cover (or if you have the K2/100, just remove the plate at the front of the KPA100 heat sink) - and then peer down between the control board and the front panel to see if there is a wire soldered to that 10th LED. If there is, your K2 has the K6XX CW tuning indicator installed - and quite likely the SMD version for which Tom Hammond N0SS created a kit. Tom no longer sells the kits, but the documentation is still on his website www.n0ss.net. If you have this handy (but non-Elecraft) mod in your K2, you may want to download the docs so you know what it looks like and how to adjust the tone frequency that it detects in case your taste in CW pitch differs from the prior owner. If you do not like the flashing 10th LED, I have a technique for mounting a tiny LED in a keycap that works well with that CW Tuning Indicator. On another, but related subject, note, that if you want to change the CW pitch, you should re-align the IF filters to center on your chosen sidetone pitch. You can find instructions for doing that on my website article for K2 Dial Calibration - go to www.w3fpr.com for that information. 73, Don W3FPR pkhjr wrote: > I'm the new owner of a K2 (4864) which I did not build and love the radio. > Everything works as it should from what I can tell so far.
