I promised myself I wouldn't add to the noise with daily updates on the
progress of K2 #4941, but after going through Alignment Part II I had to
write to commend Elecraft on their fine work. It's pretty amazing after
making hundreds of solder connections, including some truly tricky stuff
with L33,
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions on the Butternut HF6V &
HF9V Antennas.
Now I need to decide which one...

Charlie,
It is likely that you ddid not have the battery fully charged. What was the
voltage out of your power supply - a standard 13.8 volt supply will not
adequately charge the battery (see the Elecraft internal battery manual).
Before you give up on the battery, try putting a 14.3 volt power
Another two sessions of the Elecraft CW Net were run this evening. The

the storms in the heartland. But Ken, out camping, had a very good
signal. Not to be outdone however, was a new comer from Bozeman, MT N7GS

I recently installed the KBT2 internal battery kit in my K2. I bought this kit
from a ham in Australia who had installed it in his K2 and later removed it.
Consequently, it had been all assembled prior to my receiving it. I had only to

Tom,
I believe I can answer that - the only thing you need with the DL1 is a DVM
and you can either use the formula or the graph from the manual to determine
the power.
In other words, yes the circuitry is built into the DL1, but a caution, you
will find the formula a bit different than the norma
Chuck and all.
Can you tell me if you need to use an RF probe along with the DL-1, or is
the circuitry built into the DL-1 and you can just use the DMM probes?
Thanks.

Jay, the Tek 492 will do the job IF you have an accurate way of
calibrating it and IF you know exactly the attenuation at all
frequencies of interest of the attenuator you will be using. I'm not
familiar with the '492... I have a 7L13, and on the 2dB scale the
divisions are .4dB.. which are p
Hi RC,

The Butternut HF9V works great with the K2. First QSO was with a VK3 station
and then a JA3. That was last year around this time.

Jay,
I may have answered this already on QRP-L, but I find the most accurate way
to determine power output is to use a good 50 ohm resistive load (check it
with an antenna analyzer or use the Elecraft DL1). Measure the RF voltage
across the 50 ohm load (RF Probe reads in Vrms while a 'scope will

RC,
I have used them in the past, and found that if you really have a good
ground (highly conductive) or lots of radials per band, they are fairly
good.
Otherwise, much of your RF goes into heating the ground (good for the
worms, less good for your signal). If you can get plenty of radials
I am wondering if anyone is using Butternut Verticals (HF6V & HF9V) for
their K2's at their home QTH and how effective have they been? Thanks

The Elecraft Mini-Module DL1 Dummy Load has test points that allow you to
use a DMM to measure out put. I can't imagine anything in that price range
being more accurate

I broke your tuner!
W9CF wrote a fun little T-match simulator that gives you a front-panel view
of a tuner. You plug in the impedance you want to match and press Autotune,
and it'll find the match and give you the circuit loss. And you can spin the
dials manually and enjoy watching the SWR bounce
Hello List,
I've posted my question on QRP-L and here as well- since I will be building
a KX-1.
I am looking for good ways to measure power output from my KX-1 while I am
building it.
What first came to mind was to set up my Tek 492 analyzer on a 2 dB scale
and then use
a 30 or 40 watt (high power)

However it transmits on only 30, 20 and 15 meters. I'VE EASILY MADE A

For some reason I get the "0.1" power level 0n 40. CL and CM are 120 pfd

I am experiencing a problem when trying to use TRN2 or TRN3. When I set the
RF frequency to 144 MHz via the menu. The displayed frequency is 130 MHz.
Neither TRN2 or TRN3 work on TX or RX
Both my XV50 and XV144 work fine on TRN1
Any help is greatly appreciated

Dan and all,
There is a more certain method of centering the RIT than 'by ear'. Watch
the display while turning the RIT on and off, when the two frequencies
agree, it is centered.
You don't need to repeatedly turn RIT on and off to do that either - just
look at the frequency with RIT off and turn

When I bought the raffle ticket a month ago it was just helping out a club.
I was already planning on buying a rig to replace a dying one (still got it
apart). I did, too, a Yaesu FT-920 that we used at FD for CW and which is
a very nice radio indeed. However... THAT radio had a 30 day warranty a
The kit comes with a RIT Centering tool. It looks very similar to an allen
key .
Center the rit (by ear), loosen the set-screw, align the index hash at 12

True, C78 and RFC8 are normally included only with the 80m filter
