[Elecraft] K2 parts question
Hi all, Ok, I've called the parts inventory good, except two parts for the RF board that I couldn't quite figure out and made a guess that they were right. But not sure: C33 - this part is listed as a 2.2pf cap which should have a label 2R2 or 2 according to the parts list. I could only find a small disk cap with what looked like 2.2 on it, not 2R2 or 2. Is that the correct part? C22 - the Value column just has pf), the description says it should be labelled 2R7, 3, 3.3, or 3R3. In the end I could only find a small blue cap with 2.7 on it leftover and assumed this was C22. Is this right? The schematic shows a 3.3pf cap here... What say ye folks?

Re: [Elecraft] K2 parts question
LS, Small capacitors are marked in several ways it may have the actual value expressed as a decimal, such as 2.2 or there may be an R in place of the decimal point, such as 2R2. It is all the same. How they are marked depends on the manufacturer, and is subject to change from time to time. C33 can be 2 pF, 2.2 pF (also marked with 2R2 - same thing) C22 can be 2.7 pF, 3 pF or 3.3 pF - the decimal point may be replaced with an R in any of these. It seems you have the correct capacitors located. 73, Don W3FPR lstavenhagen wrote: Hi all, Ok, I've called the parts inventory good, except two parts for the RF board that I couldn't quite figure out and made a guess that they were right.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 parts question
Ok, thanks Don and everyone who's responded. Even tho it's taken two days to do the inventory, it's been a highly educational 2 days which I consider an integral part of the whole educational experience I'm intending to have doing the kit. That's probably reason #1 I've decided to do the Elecraft, right behind #2 which is to end up with a really good CW rig ;). So I'm glad I've done it. Tho I think I will skip the Misc. bag inventory, since with a 100% completion rate so far that's probably a safe bet ;) Looks like I'll be able to start the build this evening, so i'm sure to post more questions as I go along. PS, looking at the boards and components I'm sure glad I got the suggested 1/32 tips for my iron as well as the .02 solder wow, those are some tiny parts! But I'm having fun already! 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K2-parts-question-tp4473226p4473641.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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 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.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 parts question
Mike, Go ahead and use the 2SC5739 at Q6. This is a replacement for the 2SC2166. The changes to RoHS compliant devices can be blamed for the confusion. 73, Don W3FPR Mike, W9QS wrote: Hello to the group.

Yes, Mike, this same question was asked a few months ago and it seems that the 2SC5739 is now being supplied in place of the original 2SC2166 for Q6. It is evidently an improved version. You definitely have the right part. Good luck with the rest of the K2. It'll soon be on the air. 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) Like many of us on here, Mike. You have evidently caught the Elecraft bug and there'll be no stopping you with other mojo kits from Elecraft. 73 -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK -- ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
