[Elecraft] K2 low power
I have found low power on initial transmitter tests of my K2 construction. I am unable to get above about 1 Watt before I get High Current. I can not find any obvious error in winding T1-4. I reflowed all the joints involved in the toroids. Q6 is warm. I am unable to assess the temperature of Q7 or Q8 because of the heatsink. No errors noted in the resistors in measuring power output. tnx.

I have just finished the basic construction of the RF board. Both the base and collector of Q7 fail resistance checks, being near shorted out (0.1-0.2 ohm).

[Elecraft] On the advisability of selling kit radios
The threads about a kit amplifier got me thinking. It is now 1999. The market is saturated with well established companies such as Yaesu, Icom and Kenwood selling high quality radios. Ham radio technology is stagnant with no major leaps in the horizon. The average amateur is aging rapidly with very little influx of new blood. The youth are all interested in computers and the internet. The days of Heathkit are long past; there is no way to save money building kit electronics. The only kit manufacturers sell small inexpensive radios that can be built in a few hours. Certainly there is no good reason to start a company selling a 100 Watt kit SSB/CW rigOTOH Elecraft bet it could and it would appear that they are successful. It is now 2010. The same arguments are being put forward for an solid state HF amplifier. In addition, the legal liability of high current electronics is daunting. The population of customers of amplifiers is even smaller than that for 100 Watt kits. Are these arguments correct? I don't know but suspect that there would be a niche market for such kits as long as the manufacturer has no business presence in the US. Hopefully such a kit starts getting sold in the next few years. It sounds like fun. tnx.

Thats it! Your clue led me to trace V_{alc} back to the control board.
I NEVER had a non-zero measurement on V_{alc} even though I was in CAL
FCTR.
It turns out that I forgot to solder pin 1 on U10 on the control board.
Oops. Once soldered, TP2 is happy.

> So the problem is that the BFO is not oscillating.
Searching some more, I am no longer certain that this is the case, I have
been using a Fluke 77 for AC voltage measurements. Checking the spec
sheet, it appears thaat AC voltages are measured from 100mV to 750V with a
frequency range from 45Hz to 1KHz. Certainly the BFO voltages are too low
and the frequency too high to register.
Testing this theory, I place my Fluke 77 to TP3 which is KNOWN to have
12099Hz, I read 0V. This MAY explain my zero measurements on TP2 and pin
6 of U11.
Trying the frequency probe on pin 6, I see 4913.11Hz This is also seen
on pin 7 (as expected). I also see the same on both sides of D37
(although slightly higher frequency 4913.38Hz. Nothing is seen on TP2.
and possibly on C168 (unstable number much smaller than 4913, mostly in
the 2000 range). In summary, assuming that the signal is from the
crystal, I see it up to the gate of J310 but not on the source.
Does this mean that I have managed to fry Q24?
I note that V_{alc} is zero. Could I have missed something that is
supposed to be hooked up to the other side of R98? I still can't find a
jumper in the instructions that is supposed to be soldered to the tracing
extending from the other side of R98 toward the control board.
Also, what test equipment am I supposed to purchase that is able to
measure voltages in the MHz range? I can break out my oscilloscope but
this seems overkill for the job. Is there a handheld multimeter that can
handle HF frequency measurements?
tnx.

The frequency probe is fine.

[Elecraft] K2 BFO not oscillating
TP2 reads 0 MHz. Checking the components involving the BFO, No obvious missing components. No obvious cold joints. I checked the to pads adjacent to L33 which I believe to be the pads to the BFO crystal filters (two more are hidden under L33). With power on, the voltages are different making me suspect that I did not short the crystals. The manual tells me that the BFO isn't working or the frequency probe is not hooked up (which it is). It also tells me to go to the troubleshooting section. The table in the section doesn't seem to illuminate anything. The signal tracing part only seems to tell me to check the voltages (which are lower than the 0.020 volts). What do I do? tnx.

[Elecraft] followup on K2 contruction and assistants
My daughters (3yo and 7 yo) and I are continuing the K2 build. Both daughters are now capable of holding the soldering iron and the solder during soldering. They take turns now: one holding the solder and the other holding the iron. Both are sitting on my lap when soldering is done. Needless to say, the 7 year old is steadier than the 3 year old but both are capable. No obvious cold solders and Dad occasionally reflows the joint when suspicious. I am having them do only resistors/capacitors. No semiconductors. I haven't tried having the 7 year old hold both the solder and the iron at the same time but will try in the next few days. I don't think the 3 year old can hold both. tnx.

W9ILF writes: >Much of it comes from the fact this reflector seems to be 95% K3 talk. I've been thinking about this thread for awhile. Is the K2 outdated technology? I would say yes almost without equivocation. Ham radio in general is outdated. I have a cellphone in my pocket that has <<1 watt output and gives CONFIDENT point-to-point communication around the world under virtually all reasonable circumstances. The Internet also gives much more convenient worldwide communication. The only advantage ham radio has in communication in the absence of intervening infrastructure. The construction of the K2 is also outdated technology. The IC choices are now increasingly difficult to find (in any form factor as the designs themselves are getting discontinued). SMT is now the norm in industry and DIP is outdated. Software defined radio rather than hardware is now becoming the norm. The K2 is the state of the art in ONLY an extreme niche. Specifically it is likely the highest performing hardware radio that is available for construction by a hobbyist from the component level. Given technical advances in electronics, it is likely to remain the state of the art for the foreseeable future. As far as maintainability, I see no insurmountable challenges. After all, there are Model T and Delorean clubs keeping those cars on the road. With the Internet available, communication with enthusiasts are easier than with newsletters (e.g. FoxTango). Elecraft is too small a company to manufacture any part that is not easily reversed engineered. Sooner or later nearly all the DIP IC's will be not available on the market. At this point, since the technology used in the K2 was relatively generic, we will figure out that the chips (say 612 or the 3150) was used in massive quantities in a Sony Walkman or a Technics audio amplifier. Ebay prices on such items will be negligible and Elecraft enthusiasts can buy someone else's junk for pennies on the dollar. tnx.
