Re: [Elecraft] K2 5613 Lives
Congrats Raj. Hopefully, I'll be in the same position with #5644 here in the next few weeks (finished first alignment yesterday). 73, -Mike N8YO Rajiv Dewan, N2RD wrote: Just wanted to report that K2 #5613 lives. I just made a couple of q's, one in MN (from NY) and another to YO. Time to start working on the options.

[Elecraft] K2 high current on xmit
Hi all. I am building K2 #5644 and got to alignment part 3. However, whenever I keyed the transmitter at 2W on any band, the power would shoot up to 19-20 W and a high current message would come up. In addition, I noticed that when I keep the power at 0.1 W, the transmitter would work fine (clean CW output when I listened on my other rig). This allowed me to check transmit voltages on the PA as well as other transmit circuitry. This led me to find that Q24 was bad. I'm just curious if Q24 failing would cause this kind of behavior.

[Elecraft] K2 #5644 on the air
Hey all, Just wanted to let you know that K2 5644 is officially on the air. Just had a QSO with W2BPI/QRP in NY with FB sig report. Time of construction was about 45 hours spaced out over a few weeks. Had a couple issues along the way - both traced back to bad transistors which were quickly sent back to me by the fine people at Elecraft. I already have the KSB2, KNB2, and K160RX on hand which will probably be added in the next few days, and I plan on upgrading to the K2/100 eventually. 73, -Mike N8YO K2 #5644 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
