[Elecraft] off on 20 meters

[Elecraft] K2 Rugged?

Re: [Elecraft] OT Carrying radios on commercial flight
I recently went to Florida with a whole GO kit, inside was 2 radios, 1 power supply and 1 antenna tuner, they looked at it, asked me what it was, and wiped it down with swabs and it was ok, The aluminum flakes in my pocket from the machining done earlier caused more of a problem. -Neil AC2O On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 8:38 AM, Jon K Hellan hel...@acm.org wrote: Brian Alsop wrote: NQ3RP wrote: Alan - Like any electronic device, you must be prepared to turn it on and demonstrate that it works.

[Elecraft] MH2 Mic arrived DUH!
Hi ALL I got my MH2 mic or the k2 and there was no resistor in the box ACK! I know its a 5.6K Green Blue red, and its a 1/4 watt but is there a better choice? and should I get a gold or a silver tolerance?

Re: [Elecraft] MH2 Mic arrived DUH!
Don, Thank you for the help, and I did just that, tore the envelope up and it still wasn't there. Radio is waiting, its ok, its been weeks, it will wait 1 more day. -Neil On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 8:29 PM, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Neil, The resistance is not critical, so if you have a resistor (of any tolerance) between 4.7k and 6.8k on hand use that. Did you have a tan envelope on the package with the 8 jumpers for the microphone configuration header? If so, look very carefully in that envelope, the resistor can get twisted inside and will not fall out - tear the envelope open if necessary. 73, Don W3FPR Neil Shubert wrote: Hi ALL I got my MH2 mic or the k2 and there was no resistor in the box ACK!

Re: [Elecraft] Wiggly Mic Plug
Thank You Don, Exactly what I expected Thank You -Neil AC2O On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 11:21 PM, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Neil, That is quite normal. The microphone jack pins are secured to the board, but there is some play between the pins and the shell/housing of the jack. The two standoffs are used as spacers to maintain the proper distance between the metalwork and the front panel board - and as you indicated, to prevent board flexing when a mic plug is removed. You can secure the mic jack shell by removing the left side panel and scraping some of the solder mask off the board ground plane close to the mic jack. Then with a large tipped soldering iron, heat the mic jack shell and the ground plane until the mic jack shell will flow solder - form a solder bridge between the shell and the ground plane. Grounding the mic jack shell is a good step to reducing the possibility of RF feedback, and should be done on all K2s with the KSB2 option installed. 73, Don W3FPR Neil Shubert wrote: Hi All, I am the proud new owner of a k2, ser# 2676 I have torn it apart and its been built really well. The only curious thing is the mic plug is a little wiggly and the 2 threaded standoffs next to the mic plug do not seem to be attached to anything, other than the board, as if they are there to prevent the board from being pulled forward.
