Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432...LIVES.!!
That is the main reason I do not use the S meter to give someone a signal report. I leave the AF gain cranked up and use the RF gain to adjust volume. It gives me a better chance at digging folks out of the noise level. Thus the S meter on my rig just gives me a fun light to watch while I am on the air. I should really turn it off but it is much like watching the needles bounce in my antenna tuner. Keeps me company in the shack :) 73, Kevin.

RE: [Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432...LIVES.!!
Paul, Andy and all, It is not unusual for the S-meter calibrations to change from those initial settings that were made when you had only the Contol board and the Front Panel boards complete. Now that you have a full receiver, you should re-do the CAL S LO and CAL S-Hi calibration to straighten out the S-meter. The manual does not specifically state it, but those initial settings are at a point where you are becoming accustomed to working with the menu parameters, and may not be the final settings required. Since this question crops up from time to time, it would be a good addition to the manual to put in a step indicating that re-calibration of th S-meter may need to be done after the full receiver is built and all filters aligned. Yes, the S-meter will climb when the RF Gain is lowered - that is normal behavior. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > > Still got a couple of problems to sort out,...

[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 S/n 01432...LIVES.!!
Yes' Sir'ee! You read that correctly...! As of today 23rd April 2005... "... Elecraft K2 S/n 01432.." LIVES..!! Bhoy's... ! You CANT...even begin to know how I feel today...! This, for me, has been only the 3rd most happiest times in my entire life..! The 1st...passing my driving test in 1983, ...first time aroundwith a "hand controlled" car The 2nd Passing my "Ham Ticket"...after 18 months 12 HOURS A DAY...constant studying of the "Manual"...and all other literature involved.. . and the 3rd... " The Birth Of My Elecraft K2 S/n 01432..."...! Oh..! Yes...! . as the man himself Mr Elvis Aron Presley ...sang about many, many a time in my room at home... "I Got My Mojo Working..." And BOY IT FEELS GOOD..!! Now I KNOW...what all the talk has been about on the reflector, HF Bands, magazinesetc for the last 5 years of my life... What a truly "Monumentous" occassion happened here today...! Some of you guy's will remember earlier in the week, where I posted to the reflector... that there had indeed been a "hiccup" in the construction of my "Baby"... ... with the "Alignment & Test Past II" section of the manual, and I was admittedly strugglin' with the "way of the manual", shall we say, ..not knowing wether I was actually doing the correct proceedure for alignment on the 40M Band...(in and around Page 50)... Well... Once Again... my dear friend, "mentor"...and...close friend John Ross GM1BSG...has again (...keep readin' John..!) "Saved The Day"... From the outset of the beginning of the construction of "K2 S/n 01432" (...yeah..I know..its layen in a cupboard t... long..!)... John has been an absolutley monumentally oustanding "rock" for me throughout all of this... the man is a pure genius...a fantastic friend, shoulder to cry on the whole shootin' match... When others all around me, constantly said, "..you'll never do that Andy...your not good enough..." John... helped me "rise above it all"...with his kind words, determination, and sheer bloody-mindedness,... telling me that he "Knew...! that I could do it.." ...I thought he was lying or just sayin that to help me along,...but today, it all fell into place..and now I beleive him...Without HIM...I CAN say, that I would still be "scratching my head" on this one, with the only thing to do "backtrack" through the manual...which we did to a certain extent, but nothing like I would have needed to do on my own if he were'nt here.. Today, we connected up some "Serious" test equipment, I'll leave John to explain the finer points of that and quickly found the "problem"... What Was I Hear Y'all Say...?? In a word ME... Dumb-%^&*...! here had "forgotten" in my wisdom, to include a couple of very important componants during the last few pages before puttin her together for the "Big Smoke Test"...! R39 and another componant...on the back left-hand-side of the "RF Board"...which of course, allowed me to "tune" the various filters, even for 40m...but was stopping the rig from receiving ...ANYTHING !! on 40m... a quick read of the schematic (by John..!) and a scan of the board, brought this to our attentionWhere I "..hastily made a quick retreat to the kitchen...! " ...and I'm NOT joking...!! How "small" once again did I feel for the 2nd time this week.?? Another "small" problem that I seemed to have had, was with some "switching" of the 40m filter,this turned out to be Toroid "T5" or "T6" which I had "orientated" in the wrong direction..! making it act, kinda like a "choke" or "attenuator" (or so john explained..!) this was b.a.d. ... as you can imagine, attenuating, so to speak the signals on 40m... Must have been one of those moments of madness, ...where I had visited other rooms in the house for a moment and forgotten on returning where I was at...or perhaps what I was "partaking in" at the time... I've learned my lesson for sure... But it did "raise a few eyebrows. and ...temperatures..! " I can tell you, when John found out what had happened infact,..he has made sure that I NEVER apply for a job at his satellite business, where they undertake the fabrication of satalite receivers, LMB's etc etc...EVER..!! (...aye John..?) A quick change around of the toroid, a solder of the 2 componants that I had ommited to install... BANG..! There they weresignals 5-5, 5-7, 5-9 ...all on 40m CW..!! Fanfare Plays In The Background...! Oh..! Joyess Moment...! ...and nearly tears of happiness all around SO..! Glad to say that K2 S/n 01432 is now receiving stations on 40m CW...Boy Its Good..!.. Still got a couple of problems to sort out,... Like WHY..the S-Meter is still sitting at S3 of constant... when there is nothing to be heard on the band...or any stations on a particular frequency Suppose I'll come across why later in the manual... perhaps a "tweak" still to be d

[Elecraft] KX1 battery
Hi all, Some days ago I posted a message regarding the charging of NiMh battery's. I got only one reaction, so I guess many are wondering what is a good way! I decided to go for the experimental way and did the following: - Measure the supply voltage, we call that U1; - Measure the battery voltage in charged situation, we call that U2; - Take U1-U2 and devide that over the charging current you want to use. In case of my 2400 mA/h cells I decided for a "conservative" 200 mA; - The result is the resistor value, in my case about 33 Ohm; - Take the square of U1-U2 and devide over R and you have the power, in my case between one and 2W. I had a 33 Ohm resistor of 5W in stock which was only 0,3 inch, so it fits very nicely. I have mounted it on the component side of the pcb, otherwise it gets in the way of the battery! The result is very positive, it charges nicely. I have mounted a timer in line with the charging supply, an old Nokia 12V GSM supply, to avoid overcharging as I read that NiMh cells dont like that. Have fun! Oh and by the way; modifying is at your own risk and will probably violate the warranty.

I've been using Marote for some time now and it does everything I need. 73, Terry KA9TXE(new call on the way, just got my extra --yippee!) ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

When I I do not (yet) own a K2, but I'm a rather happy camper as far as hamlib and friends are concerned. My recollections of the mailing-list are that it should work fine, but you're welcome to ask the same question in the other list as well. > love to find that the K2 is already fully supported, though I'm > definitely willing to contribute software to hamlib if it's not. I suppose your contributions would be welcome anyway ;-) B73, Andrea. -- Homepage: http://andrea.borgia.bo.it /Amateur radio: IZ4FHT ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K2 & hamlib
Now that I have a KPA100 on order which happens to include an rs232 port, I wonder if any linux users on the list have tried hamlib (http://hamlib.org) with the K2. I just noticed it offers a K2 option. Does it work well or are the hamlib-supported features limited? When I use (non-CW) digital modes I enjoy the hamlib/gmfsk/xlog trio and would love to find that the K2 is already fully supported, though I'm definitely willing to contribute software to hamlib if it's not.

[Elecraft] KRC-2 6 TRN band Info needed
Hi Elecrafters, I have been using a KRC-2 for about one year, to control microwave transverters and provide seamless interfacing between the K2 and the microwave bands of 903 and up. My question is: When will the KRC-2 be updated to accomodate the six TRN bands that are in the version 2.04 firmware release? I would like to have some way to control more than the three bands available now. I use Writelog to set the operating frequency and change bands. If a station wants to work me on a different band, say 2304.110, I type 2304110 and BINGO I am there. I hit the K2 key paddle or push the mike button. It is very simple and saves much time and confusion. I guess what I need is the software utility that can reconfigure the KRC-2. I keep checking the website and nothing ever appears about it. The summer microwave season is upon us, and I am trying to get everything set up. I really need four TRN bands set up on one K2, and three bands on another. Last year I used three K2s, but reducing that number to two would free up valuable desk space and allow more room for empty beer bottles and pizza boxes. 73 Dave K1WHS ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] KPA-100 Question
Brent, As long as it is 'sort of' vertical and its feet are securely soldered to the pads, there will be no problem. It is difficult to get it exactly vertical in most cases. I would think that it should not be leaning over so far as to contact the resistors. 73, Don W3FPR > -Original Message- > > I am in the process of building my KPA-100.

[Elecraft] K2 just ordered!
After building both the KX1 and K1, I couldn´t resist ordering the K2. I ordered it without any options (will add on the options I need after operating the rig for a while). I just can´t wait building this one! Wish it was here already!

[Elecraft] KPA-100 Question
I am in the process of building my KPA-100. On page 36 of the manual I am installing C83. The instruction says "Place C83 in exactly the position shown..." Now the problem, I don't have the room to get C83 in the vertical position. While winding T2, one of the turns crossed over the other, and the windings may be slightly longer because of this. I have C83 mounted but it is not vertical as shown. It is mounted at a slight angle. Question; Do I need to rewind T2 or will I be OK?

Re: [Elecraft] new product
Great ideas. A display showing which of the International Beacon Project stations is transmitting at the time would also be very useful. Also it would be nice for us in Europe to be able to use other LF/VLF Time/Frequency stations to drive the clock other than WWV, for example the German station DCF77 on 77.5 kHz (50kW) which is very strong here (eastern Scotland). 73, Geoff GM4ESD vze3v8dt wrote: > Great idea.
