Hi gang,
The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet Sunday, 7/19/09 at 1800Z. The net will
start at 14.316 MHz, and QSY if needed. Hopefully, we will have some decent
propagation. Take a break from the VHF contest and check in. See you
there.

The latest K2 manual is available for download from Elecraft's web
site. You should have this even if you choose to also purchase another
guide.

John,
Go to the Elecraft website and download the manuals for the K2 and all
the installed options.
There have been some changes in the K2, but if your serial number is
above 3000, the currently posted manuals will do just fine. The
sections on "Operating" will be most helpful to you at first,
How about the official _free_ one?
Check out elecraft.com. Look for the manual for the K2 and manuals for every
option your K2 has installed.

Hi,
I recently purchased a prebuilt K2. It did not come with the manual or
operating guide.
Is there a consensus on which of the several guides that are on the market is
the best one to have?
Thanks,

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.
Good Evening,
The weather has changed again; it is Oregon! It is nice not having to bring

Bob,
Not to worry about the logical function, different minds think of it in
different ways. My thinking is that an active low on either the dot OR
dash contacts makes the output low. That goes back to my old TTL
thinking of wire ORs to extend the OR function. But if you use an OR
function

OK, I was not sure about the K3 but threw it out there as

Bob,
You will not be able to use the 2 diodes (BTW, that is a logical OR
function - it is 'active low') with the K3.
The K3 has a KEY input in addition to the PADDLES input. You can
connect the paddles to the paddle input, but you will have to add a
cable to the straight key to run to the KEY

I'm going a little out on a limb here as I don't know if the K3 has the

The K2 acts as it is in a straight key mode if both Paddle lines are

Could it be possible that the KPA3 upon initial key-down in sideband could
be oscillating for a second or two out of frequency? If that's the case,
this could explain Bjorn's low-power out issue along with my SWR

Allen,
Try setting the K3's MON level to zero (hold the CMP/PWR knob in, then
rotate until the display reads MON 0).
I am not sure why this would be a problem, though, unless you have your
sound card set to feed back its input to its output as well. Personally,
I would suggest turning the loop
Is MON (monitor volume, to the left of the vfo knob) set to

Björn's description of the KPA3 behavior sounds incredibly similar to issues

Thus far I've only used one of my programmable function keys. (Speaker
plus phones or not.)
I do about half my operating at QRP and half at ~100 W. A nice
single-push toggle would be one that could swap the K3 from, for
example, 5 W and 100 W.
