It is in excellent condition and it has the 500 Hz CW filter and TCXO installed, it has the auto-tuner built in, and comes with the matching MH-31 hand mic and a never used separation cable - the front panel removes for mobile mounting if one has the need to do that - manual is included. No mods. It has not been on the air very much since I built my first K2 in 1999. Partial specs: Receiver 100kHz to 30 MHz, +/- 2PPM stability, sensitivity < 0.25uV for HF bands, SSB, CW, AM and FM. Transmitter power adjustable up to 100 watts. A 20 Amp 13.8 volt power supply will handle it at full output power easily (not included). This transceiver has served me well.

Re: [Elecraft] K1 #2034 Alignment problem
Hi George, The only voltages you quote that are a bit low are derived by the AGC and they would be low with the set out of alignment anyway, If you are getting the broadcast station by touching pin 4 of U2, the audio stages are working anyway! Don't get mixed up with the voltages for U1 in the "Appendix E Trouble shooting page 7" table . It is easy to select the U1 voltages for the *Front panel* and not the *RF * board U1 . The U1 voltages you need to check against is in column 12 of the Table. It would be interesting to know how far through the Stage 1 testing you got, and why you suspect U1 and U2 as the problem?

If you made a few contacts in this years TAC Sprint, please send me your log. We only have around 20 entries. I will figure out your score for you I will need your name, call, log, power out, radio used and QTH. Check out www.n3epa.org for a list of logs already received. Click on TAC Sprint and then on the results. There are not that many entries so you could still win a plaque with only a few QSO's. I am looking at possible dates for next years TAC Sprint, I might move it into the fall or winter time.

[Elecraft] CW PTT
I'm considering ordering a K2/100 transceiver and I'm concerned about the lack of a front panel MOX or SEND button . I've read alot of the posts on the reflector concerning the issue. I have used full-break in in the past but not on a regular basis. Is there anyone that is using the K2 that previously has had little experience with full break-in and now finds that this method is totally satisfactory and does not miss the SEND button or at least semi-break-in? The rig sure looks great but I'm in a quandary about this feature. Frank WY3D ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Yes, me. I used to use almost always use semi break-in or a foot switch. The K2's full break-in works so well, I wouldn't use anything else even if it was available. In any case, the K2 is capable of semi break-in, and there is a mod to provide CW PTT. -- 73, Brian VE7NGR ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] CW PTT
Frank, I have had a few full break in rigs in the distant past, and back then, I was disappointed; for the last 30 years most of my operating has been semi-break in, and now with the K2, full break in, and I find I really love it; it is a real pleasure to use - for example, in the recent IARU contest, I operated a single op, CW QRP entry; I could hear when someone was stepping on me, I could notice when the station I was calling didn't hear me and started another CQ, and so on. In fact, I am coming to the opinion its more like talking on the phone in the ability to interrupt and be interrupted, if both sides of the QSO are using it. I think you will like it a lot, and if not, I imagine you might be able to set the delay long enough to not do it (I am not really sure because I have not tried it, since I like it as is. And, I am sure you will like the rig; I think its receiver is about as good as my IC-7800, for a lot less money. I liked mine so much, I recently bought a KX1 (more on that in another post. 73 de W5SV, Dave Frank Mayer wrote: I'm considering ordering a K2/100 transceiver and I'm concerned about the lack of a front panel MOX or SEND button . I've read alot of the posts on the reflector concerning the issue. I have used full-break in in the past but not on a regular basis. Is there anyone that is using the K2 that previously has had little experience with full break-in and now finds that this method is totally satisfactory and does not miss the SEND button or at least semi-break-in? The rig sure looks great but I'm in a quandary about this feature. Frank WY3D ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] KX1 progress
Folks, You might imagine how much I really like my K2; I caught the Elecraft "bug" from it, and ordered a KX1 recently. My various disabilities had led me to get help (meaning build it for me) on the K2, and have been very happy with the results, but I decided to attempt to fix my workshop up to accommodate some of my disabilities as much as I could, and see if I could build the KX1. My vision is fairly bad (cataracts) and aside from loss of light sensitivity, there is some loss of color vision also; so sorting the resistors and capacitors was a chore, and aside from an illuminated magnifier to work with, I added a DVM to check the resistors before installing them (and of course, do the testing steps) and a capacitance and inductance meter to do the same with the chokes and check my toroid winding where possible, and assure the correct value caps were used. It is a bit of a strain to do, but so far so good; I am enjoying doing this, and I have a small milestone to report tonight; KX1 serial number 1127 has passed assembly part 1, including all resistance, voltage, and functionality tests. Tomorrow I start with part 2 of the assembly - I will report back when I get done with that or run into trouble; you folks on the list are an inspiration, and these are so much fun as rigs, and as kits, so I am smiling lots these days. 73 (or is it 72 here?) de W5SV, Dave ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
