hello sorry for the delay,
I didn't have the time, look at the lack of time

stl regler 030, I press on display I have U8-4 but impossible to switch to U8-25

thank you for your opinion

thank you again for your precious help

[Elecraft] sidetone problem

2020-07-20 Thread Christophe aufacf
Good morning all ,

I repaired my K2 with Don recently the problem now

I realized that I can handle in Cw but I no longer have at the same
time the sound of the CW of course in emission

the STL 030 menu, whatever the level, nothing changes, any idea?

Re: [Elecraft] setting KPA 100 page 48 problem

2020-04-12 Thread Christophe aufacf
hello Don,

the measures find
3.600 => 18161
7.100 => 18163
10.120 => 15034
14.100 => 19014
18.110 => 23024
21.100 => 16185
24.930 => 20016
28.200 => 23285
I put a link to a video : https://we.tl/t-rFR61aZsYH

look what happens when I go from 20 to 30M with HI CUR power for a
fraction of a second, 14 W instead of 5W

if I reconcile again the step of HICUR and I have my 5W, surprising! ...

may be related to my breakdown I think?

thanks again for your help

hello Don,

continuity measurements from C71 ==> K14 PIN 3 & 4

K12 PIN 7 & 8; K15 PIN 2

for measuring band frequencies

80M, 30M, 20M; 17; 12 and 10M

on 3600, 10.140, 14.100, 18.100, 21.100, 28.100

will that be correct?

as I did on 40M

good evening Don,

visually C71 blue capacitor "82J" so correct for registration, I think?

for C71 in conjunction with K13 pin 7 and K14 pin 4 on the diagram

I will give you the continuities on the relays tomorrow after having
started the K2 on 40M then having turned it off


thanks again for your great help

good night, here it is 22H local

good evening Don,

I checked the values and solders of the capacitors mentioned
they are ok

on the other hand remind me of the procedure to check the frequency of
the VFO so as to find 12,015 KHZ pages in the assembly manual

Thanks again for your help

Re: [Elecraft] setting KPA 100 page 48 problem

2020-04-10 Thread Christophe aufacf
hello Don, hello everyone,

this morning I tested the K2 on my own.

the consumption (ampere) of K2 gave me part of the solution

the K2 alone in transmission consumes 0.5 amp on 40M then on the other
2 amp bands with a setting at 5Watts

so I have no broadcast on 40M only, we can hear the relays switch ...

after I admit being a bit lost to know where to start

I will review the soldering of relays K1, K12, K14 in case ...

could you give me advice since you know the K2 very well

Thanks in advance Don

[Elecraft] setting KPA 100 page 48 problem

2020-04-09 Thread Christophe aufacf
Good morning all ,

Zero adjustment of SWR bridge (C1) page 48

as you see on the video , I set the K2 to 5Watts

https://we.tl/t-MOz5AX1v3l

I managed to adjust the SWR the K2 announces my power at 0.1 Watts !!

the consumption goes from 0.32 Amps in Rx, in Tune mode 0.5 amps

I should have 5 Watts

Thank you for your help

[Elecraft] modification K2 use for KPA100

2020-04-06 Thread Christophe aufacf
Good afternoon all

for the modifications of the K2 to put a KPA100

must be done before putting the KPA100 so measurement and adjustments

or can this be done once KP100 is set and installed?

could give me the page in the manual of K2 or aligns 12 / 10M ?

thank you in advance, I'm happy to get back on my K2 after more than 3
years off, so I have to get back in the bath
