Re: [Elecraft] has the k2 a future?
Wayne, any hope of firmware updates for the K2? My favorite would be keeping mode and ATU setting per VFO. I'd be willing to purchase a more expensive microprocessor IC if more memory is required, as I suspect it is. 73, Randy, KS4L - Original Message - From: Wayne Burdick n...@elecraft.com To: Michael van Hauten vanhau...@t-online.de Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 2:10:21 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Elecraft] has the k2 a future? Michael van Hauten wrote: Dear elecraft -team, during the last 2 years all new modules and software updates had been designed for the K3. Is the K2 out of the focus or is there a chance for all the K2 users to get new modules and upgrades in the future ? The K2 is a very mature product, and I don't anticipate adding further internal modules to it. I've thought about a Li-Ion battery as a replacement for the present gel-cell, but it's still too expensive and is thus left as an exercise for the reader. The P3 should work with the K2, though less tightly integrated than with the K3. If that pans out, we'll post details later. We have no plans to phase out the K2, which is still going strong after 10 years (for which we thank our customers!). 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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
[Elecraft] K2: K60XV application note?
I'm about to add the K60XV to my K2 #337 and am reviewing the assembly instructions. At the top of p. 16 it says However, a future application note will explain how to modify the KPA100's 80-meter low-pass filter to work on 80 and 60 meters. This would provide much better rolloff if needed. I can't find this application note. Was it ever created? 73, Randy, KS4L __ 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] Electrostatic ground
When I built my K2 (#337) I used a wrist strap electrostatic ground connected to my station ground which went a short distance out the window and to a ground rod. Now, in a different house, my station is on the second floor and I have no easy access to a ground. I guess I should have my K2 grounded, but I haven't worried about it since I'm running a balanced antenna. However, I'm now building a K1 and I'm worried about handling the electrostatic sensitive components. What would you guys recommend for this? Can I safely ground my wrist strap to the AC ground? Or should I bite the bullet and run a ground out the window (about 12' from my radio desk) and down 2 stories to a ground rod? Or what else??? 73, Randy, KS4L -- Randy Moore, KS4L Huntsville, ALcom ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] OT: Need advice
I'm thinking about getting an HF mobile rig. Don't really want to subject my K2 (#337) to that environment, although it would probably do fine. I'm trying to decide between an IC-706MkIIG and an FT-857D. Right now price is causing me to favor the 857.
