[Elecraft] K2 -100 For Sale
Everyone, I guess I screwed up when I first posted my first K2 sale posting Today. My K2 is a 100 watt unit with serial numbers in the 5000 area. The amp is in the top of the K2's case while the coupler is in it's original case and serves as the base of the K2. Internal devices include the KSB2, KNB2, and digital signal processor unit (KDSP2). It works fine and is in a non smoking environment. Only issue is sometimes the KDSP2 might not come up when first powering up the radio. The fix is to power cycle the k2 and the DSP unit boots and works fine. Asking $800.00 or any reasonable offer. Shipping depends on buyer's location and offer made. Reason for selling the K2 is purchasing a KX3 and need the money. 73 Dave KD1NA __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] Tokyo High Power HL-1.5-KFX
Everyone. Sorry for the bandwidth but I had thought the Tokyo High Power HL-1.5-KFX 1 KW linear was sold. The deal fell through as the buyer felt I was less than honest when presenting the facts about the linear. Well it is for sale again. you can google Tokyo High Power or HL-1.5-KFX and find out all about it. I would be willing to send pictures and supply any other information you want about the linear. Please note that there is a small scratch on the top rear of the case that is almost totally polished out otherwise the linear is in excellent condition. It costs me $3,200 new from HRO about a year ago. It is in a nonsmoking environment and has been carefully used. Anybody interested please feel free to contact me directly with questions of reasonable offers.

[Elecraft] [K3] Tokyo High Power
Does anyone use the Tokyo High Power linear amp (HL-1.5kfx) with their K3? If you do I need to ask how you connect the auto band switching to the linear with the K3? The manual doesn't refer to the K3 at all but refers to Kenwood. It appears to use a Serial connection from the rig to the amp and is restricted to 9600 baud comm speed. I have a P3 and it requires a 38400 baud connection. For a test I tried to change the baud rate to 9600 only to have the K3 change it back to 38400 (note the P3 is connected during this time). It appears that you cannot use the P3 at the same time you use auto band switching in the THP linear. Am I correct in this assumption and if I am not could you please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

[Elecraft] K3 AM
John, Setting your power control to 110 watts will produce about 28 watts of carrier power and about 78 watts peak which is normal. I have received very good audio reports on AM both running barefoot or using my linear and limiting my carrier power to no more then 120 watts. I am assuming you have the K3's antenna tuner. If you do then initially you must tap the ATU Tune button to get your swr down. The K3 will remember the antenna tuner settings for that band and the area of the band. The only time you have to repeat it is when you change the antenna for that band. The antenna tuner in the K3 doesn't automatically tune up, you must do it from the ATU button. Because I change antennas from time to time I always tap the ATU button just to be sure everything is ok. Running less then 10 watts switches out the 100 watt amp so if you let the rig transmit with 5 watts with high SWR you will tax the 10 watt PA 73 Dave KD1NA - Original Message - From: John Parker To: dar...@comcast.net Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2010 6:02 PM Subject: your K3 AM Tip Thanks for your tip about using split for AM. I made a few contacts one evening on 80M, but I was not sure how to set the power out. The manual has virtually no info on AM operation. How do you set the power out? I have information on how to set power out for an amp, but not the K3. I have an old friend that works AM on 40M so I need to learn how to do this right. By the way I almost smoked something in the 10 watt amp in the K3. I am used to turning the power to around 5 watts on my ond Ten Tec gear and tuning the antenna tuner. I forgot that the K3 has TWO amps, and I got the low power one smelling on high SWR before I noticed it and quit. Everything seems OK but one day I am going to open it up and see what is discolored and change it out. I did not build mine, I bought it used and it is factory built. I should have built one then I would know this type of stuff. If you have time please let me know about the AM setup. 73, John WB4UHC johnj...@verizon.net or wb4...@arrl.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] K3 No output in digital mode
Thanks for the reply. Increasing the number of bars on the ALC ( by either increasing the mic gain or audio drive from the computer) has no effect on the getting output power. leaving the audio drive where is is (3 bars) and changing modes on the K3 then returning to Digital A mode will now produce the requested output power. This indicates the audio drive is not a problem. Holding the TUNE button starts the problem of no RF out again. Last night I received an e-mail from Wayne Burdick of Elecraft indicated they have solved the problem and it will be released in a beta soon. 73 Dave KD1NA - Original Message - From: "John E.

[Elecraft] K3 and Beta 3.44
Everyone, I installed Beta 3.44 (was at 3.42) and noticed the following: When operating in TX DATA (DATA A Mode) I fine that my RF Output seems to really take a long time to properly adjust itself to the desired power out. Sometimes there is no output power even though the K3 is in transmit. If I monitor the transmitted audio I fine there is none. (The computer is outputting audio). During this problem if I hold the XMIT button I do get the desired output but trying in XT DATA mode still has no output though the K3 is in transmit. If I go into USB and back into TX DATA (Data A) mode or power cycle the K3, then I have output power but it seems to take a long time to adjust itself. Reinstalling Firmware 3.32 totally solves the above problems. Just to be sure I wasn't imagining things I reinstalled Beta 3.44 and the problems reappeared, installing beta 3.42 fixed everything It seems there is a problem with 3.44 Beta firmware unless I am screwing up somewhere. 73 Dave KD1NA K3 934 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] K3 Temperature Readings
Everyone, How do I display my FP and Heat Sink temperatures on the front Panel? I did the calibration and the book explains that you tap Display and use XFO B to select the temperature reading you want displayed. When I tap Display all I can select is Time, Date, Current, and Voltage. No temp readings> Could someone enlighten me on the error of my ways. Thanks.

[Elecraft] K3 Low Power FM
Here is an update on my low power out on fm. With all filter in place and with several checks on configuration and reloading the radio's firmware I had no success in getting out any more then 2 watts out max on FM. I removed the FM filter and replaced it with a .001 UF capacitor. I was successful in putting out any amount of power I selected on FM. I monitored the transmittion and it produces a very clean FM signal. So either there is something wrong with the filter or RF Board. Any comments (constructive please).

[Elecraft] K3 FM Operation
Okay people I have a question. How do I get more then 2 watts out of my K3 on FM? I have the FM filter installed and turned on. I have the FM filter bandwidth set at 13 KHZ.. I can tune successfully and put out power in all modes except FM (2 watts out max. The MF mode is working I checked it with another receiver but no real power out. My K3 has an operating KPA3 and tuner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Elecraft] Computer Speakers
Anyone, I will soon be receiving my K3 and I do have a question. Normally my computer line out connects to my computer speakers. When I get my K3 is there a speaker connection on the K3 that will also output audio out from the computer such as when not using the radio but still using the computer? Or do I have to get a stereo Y connector at the line out connection on the K3? Many thanks in advanced.

[Elecraft] C227
Mike After looking at your picture I think I would only replace C227, Clean up the board around it, then test it out (in a dummy load). Don't think the relay is gone but those type of capacitors do sometimes fail. In your case you were trying to couple good VSWR into the rig but haven't succeeded yet and that capacitor took a voltage spike. Those capacitors do emit a lot of smoke when they fail. 73 Dave KD1NA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 Issue
Thanks for your reply Geoff. I think that the reason the screws loosen isn't because of twisting out, but because the heat sink material that is placed between the power transistors and the heat sink is cold flowing. Many plastics will, under pressure, actually flow a bit and change it's shape ( in this case becoming thinner). After a period of time the plastic assumes it's final new shape. Using locktite (especially the permanent type) will make it very challenging to remove the screws when needed. Another idea would be using heat sink compound (a form of heat conducting paste) instead of the pads provided by Elecraft. The mounting bracket of the power transistors is insulated from the transistor itself by a heat conducting oxide so no insulating material is needed for mounting. Just mounting the transistor to the heat sink will not provide enough thermo conductivity between the transistor and heat sink. That is why Elecraft provided the thermo conductive pads. If heat sink compound is used the screws will remain tight because there is no lingering cold flow properties in the compound. 73 Dave KD1NA - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Elecraft" Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 11:11 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA100 Issue Hi David; I can confirm your experience - and add a bit more. I too had occasion to remove the KPA100 shield, and found he PA and driver fixing screws I had tightened (but not overtightened!) quite loose. I re-tightened them, but this time overdid it with one of the studs tightened with an octagonal wrench, which twisted off. Fortunately a spare had been included with the kit, and it was not too difficult to remove and replace it. I wonder if a spot of 'Locktite' (cyanoacrylite 'superglue') applied during construction would be a good idea?

When I first built the KPA100 I made sure the transistor hear sink mounting screws were tight. After operating the rig for about a week (and heat cycling the heat sink) I had an opportunity to open up the K2 to show a friend. At that time something in my mind reminded me to recheck the final transistor heat sink mounting screws (please remember the screws were carefully tightened upon assembly) and to my surprise I could easily tighten the screws 1/2 turn or more! It seems the heat conducting material cold flows a bit between the final transistors and the heat sink. So for those who have a KPA100 it would be prudent to check those final transistor heat sink mounting screws every so often. If you don't you could lose your finals. 73 Dave KD1NA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] Re RFC 15 miniature?
Bob, I have just finished my K2 a few days ago and there is a lot I can relate to your question about RFC15. First and most important, these chokes are very fragile and can open up quite easily just by flexing the leads too much. Second I also found the size of these chokes from brown to green body is not that much. I chose the brown body 100 mh choke to install as it was slightly smaller. To my demise I couldn't get the PLL circuit to work properly and after calling Elecraft they brought my attention to both RFC15 and C88. When I checked I found the choke open. I replaced the choke and the receiver worked very well but I seem to have a PLL instability around 7180 KHZ. I was then advised to remove RFC 15 and replace it with a wire and be sure C88's leads were short. The problem was not solved. I inserted a ferrite bead on a wire that took the place or RFC15 and replace C88 (60 pf) with a 100 pf capacitor and the problem is gone. It is my understanding that not all the K2's have this problem but several must have because I got many replies concerning this problem. Note: Before I started assembly of the K2, I checked all the chokes out with a digital Ohm meter to verify they were not resistors. They all measured very low resistance so the chokes were good before I mounted them. Check to make sure RFC-15 is still a low resistance after you solder it in. and check around 7175 to 7185 KHZ for instabilities in the VCO. Good luck and have fun Dave KD1NA To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi Folks, I am building #5930 and I'm at the point of installing C91, C88 and RFC 15 on the bottom of the rf board at U4. The manual talks about a miniature 100 uH choke, much smaller than the other 100 uH chokes and with a tan body. I have 4 green bodied and one tan bodied 100 uH choke, but the tan bodied one is pretty close to the same size as the green ones, if any thing a little bigger. I have no miniature chokes at all I'm sure I can solder it to the indicated location, but is this something I should be concerned about? Bernie W1AZ asked this same question on the list back in Sept. but I can't see where anyone answered him.

[Elecraft] KPA100 Standoffs between heat sink and board
Ben, I just finished building my KPA100 and it is quite happy in the K2 at this time. I agree with your observation of the milled out hole on the heat sink. I tried placing a lock washer between the heat sink and standoff (against Elecraft instructions) which resulted in not having the screws on the KPA100 rear panel match the hole resulting in having to remove the heat sink from the KPA100 PCB and removing the lock washer. Afterwards the screw hole aligned perfectly. I do believe the board is warped a little because of the machine out portion of the heat sink but it seems necessary to match all the mounting screw holes. Anyone else have any ideas. By the way it seems surprising to me the amount of "missing" parts that customers are ordering for replacement. I just built the K2 with the SSB module, Noise blanker module, DSB module and KPA100 module. That calls for a lot of parts and I got to say that Christene always gets all the parts. In fact it seems that there is lots of extra hardware and wire in with the kits. Many times I thought a part was messing only to find it after careful looking. I also have to agree with Elecraft on the alignment. If you take your time and read the procedures carefully you can do a real good alignment. The audio spectrum program that is offered really makes it easy to calibrate the BFO frequencies. I have been working with electronics for more then 40 years and I teach others to do the same. I cannot state enough to take your time and follow the procedures and your K2 is spot on frequency Great Job Elecraft!! ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Freq Memory
Bernie, On My K2 (#5779) if I change frequency on the same band and wait for 10 seconds the K2 puts that new frequency in memory so when the rig is powered off , then back on it returns to the frequency it was last on. If you change the frequency within the same band and quickly power the rig off, it will return to the original frequency before the change was made. Example: If the rig was at 3760 KHZ and I changed the frequency to 3770 KHZ and waited 10 seconds before shutting the rig down it will return to 3770 KHZ when powered up. If you quickly powered off the rig after the Frequency change the rig will be at 3760 KHZ when powered up. Hope that clears up your question. 73 Dave KD1NA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] Your website
Tom Your website is great!! There is a wealth of information there and I have just started to learn from it. I have just completed my K2 and am doing a lot of learning and enjoying the rig a lot. One thing I might comment on is the Spectrogram program you offer a link to. Well I needed to align my ssb filter and after downloading the software I could not get any audio from the rig to the application. The K2 audio was getting into my computer and I could use MIXW to see and work PSK31 stations. So I tried using the spectrum scope in MIXW and it did the job fine. I could tweak the SSB filters for the best response using noise. I think Digipan will also work. You have to be careful on how to interpret the frequency markers but they are there. Just thought I would pass this on Thanks for a great source of information. 73 Dave KD1NA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Solvent
I have been working in electronics for over 30 years and I find that though rosin flux is somewhat inert under normal conditions it can lead to corrosion in certain circumstances. On all my portions of the K2 system I have built I have removed the flux using alcohol or flux solvent. You have to be careful about certain plastics that could be affected by various cleaner solutions but most of today's components seem to resist any solvent damage if the proper flux removing solvents are used. Be careful as the solvents can be flammable and not the greatest thing to breathe. Also be certain all the cleaner has been removed from the circuit board before applying power. I hope this information is of some help. 73 Dave KD1NA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] Unstable VCO
With stock construction (with C91, .001uf, C88, 68pf and RC15, 100uh choke installed) I found instablity in the VCO from about 7175 to 7860 KHZ. After contacting Elecraft I was told to remove RC15 and replace it with a wire and shorten the leads of C88. The VCO instablity was still there. After being advised to keep the leads short I cut any excess leads from all the IC's that are in the VCO circuit. (Please note that all chips are soldered in except the controller chip U1). this didn't help at all. So I tried replacing the wire short where RFC 15 was, with a ferrite bead. Now the instablity was only from 7800 to 7805 KHZ. The next thing I tried was replacing C88 with a 100pf silver mica capacitor. It is somewhar larger then the origonal capacitir but I managed to keep the leads short. The VCO problem is now gone and the rig seems to work flawlessly. I have been using it a lot on PSK and even had some ssb contacts. I still got a lot to learn about the rig and the DSB module but that will come with experiance.

[Elecraft] Problem With VCO Stablity
When I operate my K2 between 7180 and 7190 Khz the VCO seems to worble or becomes unstable. Any other band or frequency is fine. I have removed RFC15 and replaced it with a direct wire connection then later a ferrite bead. C91's value was increased from .001 uf to .01 uf. c*88 is still 68pf but with the advice of Elecraft Technical support I reduced the lead length of this component to as short as possable. These changes seem to help reduce the bandwidth of instablity but not totally eliminate it. The rig works fine on all bands and puts out 10+ watts.

I attempted to peel it off but it was rwally glewed on so I stopped trying. After i build the rig I found that the LCD lights up fine. It seems the light gets into the LCD from the outside edges and not the back. Or there is so much led light that it makes it through the translucent coating on the back.
