Hi Guys,
A few weeks ago I managed to induce a fault into my K2 by transmitting
into no load when testing the top band option. I found that R58, the 180
ohm, half watt resitior at the far end of T4 had been damaged and had a
value of 4 ohms. So I replaced it and reassembled the K2 and I still
Hi Guys,
I was given a Weller DS801 desoldering station a while back which
has never worked but looks brand new. . It sucks fine (over here in the
motherland this does not mean it is bad) but the tip does not come up to
temperature. At a guess the element in the iron has gone or the

Tom,
You are dead right about the fragility of the bits. I was lucky
enough to pick up a couple of boxes of bits at Dayton a few years back,
50 bits per box, $5 per box, the guy had loads, they were new too, guess
I was lucky.
Regards,
Steve

My only excuse is that my construction time is limited and it must have
been 9 months or so since i soldered the "missing" parts on the control
board and forgot to tick them off in the KSB2 manualas i am only 53
does this count as a senior moment?.
Thanks to Don for pointing me in the right
Hi, I have just checked my inventory for the KSB2 and seem to be short
of all of the components for mounting on the front panel board, i.e. : -
P1, c4-c8,q3,rp3,rbias and R13,
It seems to me that the parts must all have been in 1 envelope and this
was omitted from my kit. Before I contact Elec

PS Does anyone else think Elecraft could find a market for a high
performance active antenna kit?

Greetings from England,
I wonder if anyone can help me get access to the AMRAD Website. I am
about to start building the K0BRA Active RX Antenna as featured in the
Sept 2001 QST and I am interested in getting the documentation at : -

Guys,
I suspect things could get even worse if the suggested pink pefumed
envelopes had labels on them from Wayne and Ericunless of course you
are a lady building an Elecraft kit.

Hi all,
It seems to me that a gathering at Friedrichshafen for us Elecrafters
might be a good idea. I'll be attending with Jan G0BBL and Alan M0PUB
and all of us have built K2s..we are staying in Lindau and hopefully
will operate portable from Austria, Switzerland and Germany whilst we

Hi,
Check the number of turns on the toroids for the 80 M band pass
filter. I had a similar problem on 40 M because I had 1 turn too many on
one of the toroids.
Your mileage may vary,

Hi Worshipful members of the order of Elecraft,
The awsome power (haha) of the list, in the shape of Don W3FPR
pointed me in the right direction. My mistake was to wind L26 with 13
turns instead of 12. Now I have corrected my blunder we have : -
10 Watts, 13.1 volts and 2.36 amps - no over
Gentlefolk,
I could do with some advice. I am at Page 72 in the K2 MANUAL aligning
the TX for 40 Meters.
At 5 watts output the current drain is supposed to be 1.3-1.6 amps. The
book says if it is *much* higher than this, or the Voltage drops more
that 1 Volt I may have a problem with the TX,
13 matches
