[Elecraft] Yaesu MH-31 mike wiring question
I purchased an assembled K2 with a headset mike. I want to use the MH-31 mike that came with my FT 1000 Mark V mp. The SSB adapter manual (Page 18) lists this mike. My question is related to the stated GNDs. Which of the two GNDs listed is related to the PTT and which to the mike element (2 versus 5,7). Also, could someone explain the 5,7 GND listing? Does this mean either Pin 5 or Pin 7, or a combination of both 5 AND 7?

[Elecraft] No audio from speaker on K2
Ok---this might be elementary to many but I can't seem to find the problem. After I built the NB board and plugged it in along with the SSB board and plugged in the ATU cable and the internal battery cable, I plugged in the speaker cable, Now there is no audio from the speaker, but there is audio from the headphones. I checked the speaker and cable with a ohmmeter and things look ok. Elecraft suggusted that the headphone jack might be bad, but I had never used it before this and the audio was ok from the speaker then. Everything else is working fine including the NB Has anyone else experienced this problem? I might add that I did not build this K2 but aquired it total built and working 100% Any help would be appreciated.

I've recently installed the KAT2 automatic ATU and when I hit TUNE, I often get the message Lo-P and the AATU makes no attempt to minimise the SWR.

RE: [Elecraft] No audio from speaker on K2
Gee Ken, I duhno, but here are some troubleshooting ideas. Rule #1: If it was working but now isn't, look at what changed. I don't care if what changed has nothing to do with it, start checking there. Rule #2: Follow the clues. Gather clues and follow them. Don't jump to a conclusion about what it is (I've change the part 3 times and the rig STILL doesn't work) or what it isn't. Rule #3: Ask Don. Try taking all those accessories out. Do you still have output? Then put them in one at a time. This will at least narrow the search. - Keith - -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 9:07 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] No audio from speaker on K2 Ok---this might be elementary to many but I can't seem to find the problem.

[Elecraft] K2 AF noise level?
Hey 'Crafters, I'm debating between the KAF2 or an outboard audio filter for my K2. Possible choices are the SCAF-1 and an Autek QF1A. My goal is to greatly reduce the hiss that is there in the headphones when the narrow CW filters are engaged. I'd also like to add some CW selectivity. A notch would be great too. KAF2 has the benefit of being integrated into the rig but doesn't offer lots of flexibility. The others are external but give you more control over the filtering. How well does the KAF2 kill the hiss? I assume it does great for that. Does it add any noise back in? - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Mark, Yes, I notice it only when the power is less than about 2 watts. If I turn it up past 2, all is OK. I was under the impression that pressing TUNE at any power level, sets it to 3 watts, minimises the SWR and then sets it back to the original power setting. I've obviously got the message wrong!

Re: [Elecraft] K2 AF noise level?
Keith: I also enjoy the flexibility of an external AF filter, and have used an Autek QF1 for over 20 years. However, my K2 has such a quiet AF output compared to my previous rigs that the hum from the QF1s internal power supply becomes quite noticeable and very annoying when I use it with the K2. Maybe the QF1A is quieter, 73, Steve Kercel AA4AK At 09:45 AM 5/16/2006, Darwin, Keith wrote: Hey 'Crafters, I'm debating between the KAF2 or an outboard audio filter for my K2.

Re: [Elecraft] No audio from speaker on K2
Ken, While your trouble shooting the audio problem, go ahead and order a couple of headphone jacks from Elecraft. If the jack is not the problem it won't hurt to have a spare on hand. I've had to replace the jack twice in one of my K2's. It didn't make sense to me either, one day it worked, the next day it didn't. If there is a weak point in the K2/K1 audio hardware, it's the phone jack.

[Elecraft] KAT2 Lo-P message
I think this is a low power message indication that the atu isn't seeing enough power to do a tune. You might want to check the cable between the atu and the rf out jack on the motherboard. It can come loose and can also become damaged with the removal of the lid, etc. Also make sure the ribbon cable is seated properly. Does it only happen on an antenna, or does it also happen on a dummy load? Philip, I've only recently installed it and the cable from the ATU was locked well into place. I'll check, anyway. I'll also have a go with a dummy load. I think the general view is that I'll need to set the power level above 2 watts before I do the tune - it works OK then. I'm running it into a rather ancient Kenwood TL-120 linear which on occasion doesn't present a well-behaved load to the K2, so I get the ATU on the K2 to cope with it. If I set the power on the K2 much above 1-2 watts, the linear doesn't seem to like it ie trips out. 73 Bob 2M0KDZ #5339 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Build yourself an attenuator (3 or 4db should be fine), and the K2 will be happy and the amp will be happy and the KAT2 will match all (well half - the attenuator to amp side needs to be close to 50 ohms. The K2 side should be too).

RE: [Elecraft] KAT2 Lo-P message
Bob, Yes, the K2 power must be set to 2 watts or above to allow the ATU to tune. The firmware will reduce the power for tuning if it is set higher, but it will not increase the power to the best of my knowledge. You may want to try an attenuator pad between the K2 and the amp if you do not need the full output of the K2 to drive that linear. An attenuator will provide a more consistent load to the K2 - I should think a 3dB attenuator would do fine, perhaps only 1 dB would provide enough smoothing - it is certainly worth a try. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- I think the general view is that I'll need to set the power level above 2 watts before I do the tune - it works OK then.

Michael, Yes, I had the mike plugged in, so that's a possibility. However, I tried reducing the power from 10 watts down to 2 watts or so and it had no affect (I don't have a KPA100). I also changed from my antenna to a dummy load, which also had no affect on the problem. But there could be some interaction problem with the mike PTT. The mike cable shield is connected to pin 8 on the connector, but the front panel chassis mike connector is not grounded.

Re: [Elecraft] Re: Human CW copy speed
FWIW: Officially (whatever that means), history records that the Morse code plain text receiving champion is Ted McElroy, of tape perforator/keyer and bug fame at 75.?? WPM, counting 5 chars as a word. (Urban?) legend has it that he was standing as the test began and the code began blasting forth. He chatted for a minute or two, lighted a cigarette, and finally sat down at the mill. He pounded out the copy, and continued pounding for several minutes after the test stopped.

RE: [Elecraft] K2 Voltage Problem Initial Check
Stephen, Check your power supply voltage - if you are using a wall-wart, many of those deliver much greater than their indicated voltage. If you have less than 15 volts at the K2 input, that is likely OK, but something more like 13.8 volts is preferred. The higher voltage can also explain the high current draw. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Finally got to the first Alignment and Test, Part 1 on my K2.

On Tue, 16 May 2006 10:24:47 -0700, Fred Jensen wrote about Ted McElroy: (Urban?) legend has it that he was standing as the test began and the code began blasting forth. He chatted for a minute or two, lighted a cigarette, and finally sat down at the mill. He pounded out the copy, and continued pounding for several minutes after the test stopped. Obviously, if the legend is true, Ted had a good memory. I think this all took place in the '30s. I can't vouch for the above, but I can for the following incident in which I was a participant: As some on this reflector know, I was with the FCC in the San Francisco office for 28 years, retiring as the District Firector (then called the Engineer-in-Charge) almost 12 years ago. In the early 1970s I was, among many things, the code examiner for both amateur and commercial applicants. One day an old-timer came in, related that he had been a coast station operator at the RCA Coast Station KPH, and wanted to upgrade his Second Class Radiotelegraph License to First Class before he retired. To copy the 25 WPM plain text, he brought his own mill as was permitted. He sat down, asked if he could smoke (in those days it was OK in offices), put the paper in the mill and said OK, start the tape. The venerable Boheme paper-tape reader started pounding out at 25 WPM. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, took a pack of matches from another pocket, lit the cigarette, dropped the matches on the floor, picked them up, and started typing. He pounded away and by the time the tape was finished had almost caught up. He took the paper from the mill, handed it to me, and said Didn't think I could do it, sonny??? He had perfect copy.

[Elecraft] power amp mounting of Q7 and Q8
Man, I'm having a devil of a time mounting Q7 and Q8 on the sink. The screws seem too short...I only get a mm or less clearance to place a lock washer and nut. Did anyone else have this problem? I am aware of the need for the shoulder of the washer to be within the transistor's hole. Even if this is not so and is then corrected, it still adds insufficient clearance for a lock washer and nut. Do I have the wrong screws? They are silver and measure 1/2 inch. There are no screws with the kit that are longer.

RE: [Elecraft] power amp mounting of Q7 and Q8
John, Use the 1/2 inch long black screws - the 'silver' screws are for mounting the feet and are only 7/16 inch long. They will fit - look to see that the heat sink is almost in contact with the 2D connector - if it is more than the thickness of the thermal pads away from the 2D connector, then you have something physically wrong. The screws project about 1.5 mm, but you can get the lockwasher and nut on them. The screws do not come all the way through the nut, but almost. If necessary, put the screws into the 2D connector first. 73, Don W3FPR -Original Message- Man, I'm having a devil of a time mounting Q7 and Q8 on the sink.

Thanks to Dons Brown and Wilhelm for correcting me on the screws to mount Q7 and Q8 to the sink. Yep, when I switch the screws, it works. Unfortunately, in my frustration, I guess, I manipulated the transistors more than I should have (which means I barely touched then...man, those leads are weak). I just ordered another pair from Elecraft. So close, yet so far away. My goal of being On The Air by this weekend probably just went out the window.

RE: [Elecraft] Re: Human CW copy speed
I have a commercial CW license but I used it to service shipboard and aircraft CW equipment (yes, long ago airliners used CW to keep in touch with the ground, especially when crossing the oceans). I never stood watches as a regular CW operator - just the occasional shakedown cruise aboard various ships along the west coast of the USA. But I had a great friend, K6ETY, who was a maritime radio operator in the merchant marine throughout WWII. Finally, in the 1970's he came ashore to stay working a regular CW operator at coastal station KPH north of San Francisco. I often worked that facility on CW doing radio checks from various ships. I visited Les at KPH one day. He took me around the operating positions introducing me to his buddies in what was called the Den of Thieves - the CW communications room in the basement of the receiving facility at KPH. I'll never forget his speaking to one of the operators who was sitting there with CW pouring out of the cans on his head and pounding on a mill (typewriter with all upper-case letters used for copying radiograms). The guy jumped up and shook my hand and we spoke for a bit, all the while I could hear the CW still bleating forth from the cans (commercial operators wore the cans forward of their ears with the volume up fairly high rather than on their ears so it was quite audible for a couple of feet around). After we talked for what seemed like quite a while he said 'cuse me and reached for his bug to send R and then turned back to me while the CW continued almost without pause. When we quit chatting he sat back down and wailed at an incredible rate on that mill, finishing the message we had interrupted, pulled the finished message from the roller, inserted a new form and caught up to where the station was now sending. Mind you, this included dates, message numbers, word counts, addresses, phone numbers and the like in addition to the text, all of which he was storing in his head while we talked. It reminded me that a commercial license does not make a true professional operator. I was and still am a Radio Amateur in awe of what some real operators can do! KPH has a web site with many pictures of the CW operations there as they were from time the station was first launched in the 1920's up through the heyday of maritime CW in the 1960's and 70's. See http://www.radiomarine.org/kph-proj.html And at: http://www.radiomarine.org/historic-5.html You'll see my old friend, Les, in the top picture. If you work me today I may well be using that bug he has on the table (note the weight to slow it down. Yes, that's a real cable clamp needed to keep it down under 20 wpm - just like I use). Les became an SK in the 1990's and his widow passed his key on to me. Ron AC7AC ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
