[Elecraft] ;Elecraft] Question about Selling K2
Chuck, Like many others today, I, too, have some rather severe antenna restrictions. Before you give up on getting on the air with your K2 or K3, consider a "screwdriver" antenna. I use a Tarheel mounted on a metal tripod with caster wheels. I can roll it out onto the driveway when needed. It works surprisingly well.

Re: [Elecraft] ;Elecraft] Question about Selling K2
Jim, I use the same for portable use, Little Tarheel II screwdriver on a small tripod and I use the KISS ground for counterpoise. Takes about 5 mins to set up and works great!!

[Elecraft] Elecraft question
Ron, I bought a soldering station from Circuit Specialists in AZ and, as the order was more than $50, I got a FREE Digital Multi-Meter - it does a good job and I get the same readings I do from my BK 2707A (cost me about $80 a year ago from Mouser but it reads capacitance, and transistor gain which the FREE DMM doesn't). FREE is good and the performance is A-OK. I also picked up the needle nose pliers and flush cut pliers (sized for circuit board work) at Home Depot for about $12 and they're great...got all of this info from reading the building tips link on the Elecraft site. Am well along with K2-100, S/N # 5266a fantastic kit and well done in all respects. Good luck, hope you'll join the fray! 73, H Cary, K4TM ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
