[Elecraft] OT: FCC Exams
In the late 80#39;s it was time to upgrade. I held a conditional for 30 years. After lots of studing and code practice I made the trip to Chicago and took both the advanced and extra. Had to take them in order: advanced, extra 20 wpm, and then Extra written. It was a long day but passed all three. I remember two questions on CW test. Had to choose between physician and physicist. I guessed right. Antenna was also a 4 element wire beam. Those were the days. Yes, they still used the tape machines and those WW2 headphones.

Many of us old timers are reliving and with the good receivers now days like Elecraft, Ten-Tec and others we are truly able to enjoy lower power more, because the distant stations can hear us better. A challenge is good in anything we undertake and create a spirit of mission. QRP is obviously a challenge for better antennas, better coax, more skilled operating, better tennis balls to get it over that limb or more donuts. There is something for everyone in Ham Radio and the fellowship is a wonderful part. This reflector is a large positive to this end. Now I'll be quiet and crawl back up the headphones and play QRP with my K2 knowing the K3 and Orion is near by. 73, lynn W4NL __ 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 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

Alternatively, fix the shift control to have the 10Hz steps requested by others when using narrow CW filters. 73 de Brian/K3KO [snip] I looked at the auto and manual notch on a waterfall once.

[Elecraft] ARRL CWDX
My first attempt with my new K2. Pretty tough from here in the Black Hole central Illinois. 50 Q's with 42 country mult's. Worked about 5 hours. Best was DL1 on 80 and KH6 on 40. Antenna G5RV up about 30 feet. The K2 continues to amaze me. Also worked VP6DX on 18 MHZ. 73,72 Mike, W9QS EX: KN6TBP (1956), K1DGQ, DL4KM, K5LJN, W9FRR, W9KVF K2, OHR500, OHR100A, SP1 Never miss a thing.

[Elecraft] K2 and PTT problem
I recently installed the SSB board in my K2. The board functions fine in VOX but i cannot get the PTT function to work. I'm using an ICOM HM36 mic and followed the recommended wiring for it. (PTT to pin 5) The PTT switch in the mic is fine. Even without the mic connected if I ground pin 5 I still do not get the PTT function. Am I missing something? I am very pleased with the results so far. I worked several PA in the contest this weekend on 20. 73,72 Mike, W9QS EX: KN6TBP (1956), K1DGQ, DL4KM, K5LJN, W9FRR, W9KVF K2, OHR500, OHR100A, SP1 Looking for last minute shopping deals?

[Elecraft] Rigbaster M8 question
I have an M8 rigblaster that I used with my IC718. I has the 8 pin Icom connector on it. I would like to use it with the K2. I plan on using it mainly for PSK31 and maybe a little RTTY. I've ordered the SSB board. Is there information on how the jumpers are connected inside for the K2? I used VOX with the 718 and will probably do the same with the K2. Any ideas or help appreciated. Please answer off list unless you feel the entire list needs the info. The 718 will definitely be the backup if I even keep it.

[Elecraft] K2 #6324 is running
My K2 Serial #6324 is complete. First contact was with the California Fox on 40. There is no comparison between the IC718 and the K2 on the receive side. Love both filters. Many thanks to Gary Surrancy for his guidance and patience in helping me find the HI-CUR problem. 73,72 Mike, W9QS EX: KN6TBP (1956), K1DGQ, DL4KM, K5LJN, W9FRR, W9KVF K2, OHR500, OHR100A, SP1 Looking for last minute shopping deals?

[Elecraft] K2 trouble
I have a problem with the first part of section 3 testing. I set the power level to 2.0. When I press and hold tune I get HI CUR on the LCD for about 1/2 second and power is at .1. Nothing seems to be warm. Q6, 7 and 8 all seem Ok and not shorted. Anything I might have missed before I start taking it all apart again? 73,72 Mike, W9QS EX: KN6TBP (1956), K1DGQ, DL4KM, K5LJN, W9FRR, W9KVF K2, OHR500, OHR100A, SP1 Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[Elecraft] K2 parts question
Hello to the group. This is my first post. I'm assembling a K2 serial number 6327. All is well and I'm working on section 3 of the RF board. I have a question about Q6. The parts list as a number of C2166 but mine is a C5739P. Is this a direct replacement or do I have the wrong part. This is the first problem I've encountered and this kit is the best by far I've ever built. (I go back to the '50s first kit was a Heatkit AT-1) Mike, W9QS Never miss a thing.

[Elecraft] K2 parts
Thanks to all that responded. I'll use the part. Don said it was because of ROHS problems. We have the same trouble here at work. Also thru' parts are getting very scarce.
