[Elecraft] K2/100 RS-232 Problem Logger 32
I completed the KPA100 everything works except I can't get the K2 to communicate with Logger32. I setup the radio for COM1, 4800 baud, 2 stop bits, no parity. Kenwood-all have toggled both DTR RTS on off. The cable is wired correctly based on the manual. I've checked all the solder joints on the amplifier board associated with U4 they all look good. I also checked the resistance of all RF chokes associated with U4. My Icom 756Pro works fine with Logger 32 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

My settings are the same as yours (I have DTR and RTS unchecked). Have you tried turning on the Show Radio Debug Window option and see what's being sent and received? Have you tried using the K2 with a different program? You could try it with a simple terminal program and type the commands manually. Have you turned PORT on in the K2's secondary menu? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] Auto Tuner
I'm finially getting off my tail and ordering stuff to upgrade my K2 to a B version and adding the 160m, and Noise Blanketer options before anything else happens. lol. I'd like comments on how well the auto tuner works, what you think of it, bla bla. I've got the T-1 which I just love, think it would be nice to have tuner in rig also, then T-1 could be used for portable, mobile what ever else. Sidenote had the FT-817 mobile today using a 20m hamstick. I could get it to load on 17m and 30m but couldn't make any contacts.

Re: [Elecraft] Auto Tuner
Jerry: The K2 autotuner seems to work FB for me. I don't think you can go wrong getting one. It's a lot more convenient than having a separate tuner. Just push the tune button and away you go. And it seems to tune just about anything. 73's, John AA0VE NR5A wrote: I'm finially getting off my tail and ordering stuff to upgrade my K2 to a B version and adding the 160m, and Noise Blanketer options before anything else happens. lol.

RE: [Elecraft] Auto Tuner
I don't think you can go wrong with it. To be honest, mine hasn't been challenged all that much. It inherited a well-tuned TH7DX and a 30 meter inverted V. But what's cool is I can have both antennas connected at the same time and the K2 not only selects the right antenna for each band, but it remembers how it was tuned. The only external ATU I would ever consider is...gee another Elecraft product...the T1 which you already have. And I can't imagine wanting a manual tuner again. hi.

[Elecraft] 160 fixed in KPA100 and some tips.
I had asked the list for some help with the KPA100 that I had some trouble with. I added the 160 module and was getting no power out. After messing about with it, I finally noticed that I was not getting any receive noise on 160 connected to the KPA100 antenna. I pulled the KPA 100 and all worked FB on the base K2. Receive noise and full QRP power out. Finally after slapping my head about no receive on 160, I started looking at the band pass section on the KPA100. I wanted to know whether the relays were engaging or if something was shorted or open. I took my mechanics stethoscope and started listening to the relays. All of the relays in the band pass section would click audibly when that band was selected EXCEPT the 160 relays. Looking at the schematic, it is pin 18 that goes to ground to energize the relays for 160. All of the other outputs were going to ground when those bands were selected except the 160 relay output on pin 18. It stayed at 12V. I checked the input on pin 1 U2 and it was not going to 5 volts like the rest of the inputs. Moving over to the MCU pin 26, it was going to 5 volts and should have been turning the output of U2 pin 18 on. I pulled the board and DOH!! found that I had not soldered pin 1 of U2. Now all is working. Just wanted to let you know as a trouble shooting tip that the RB outs of the MCU U1 need to go to 5 volts when you select that band, this puts 5 volts on the input of U2. This caused the output to go to ground and turn on and latch the relay. Just thought I would pass that along for what it is worth. I am also using a logging program called XMlog. Not that it is my favorite, it is just what I use. I set the rig control to Kenwood. On the packet spot map, you can click on a spot and this will cause the rig to go to that freq and mode. The Kenwood setting works just fine with the K2 for changing bands, modes and freqs. I cannot attest to other functions, but this works fine for me for now. At least I know the K2IO is working on the KPA100. Now all that is left is the audio filter/clock option and this rig will be ready for it's owner. I also got the noise blanker installed and working today as well. I am sure that he will be happy, if I ever let him have it! ;-) Jess AE0CW ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
