Re: [Elecraft] K2 with the W2 Wattmeter kit
Ray, The W2 is *not* transceiver specific, it will work with any transceiver, Elecraft or other. It will also work fine with your K2. Where you place it depends on where you wish to read the SWR. If you are interested in seeing the SWR at the input to the KAT100, then place it between the KPA100 and the KAT100 - but really, I can not understand why you would want to do that, the KAT100 LEDs will tell you the same SWR. If your interest is in the SWR at the end of the transmit feedline, then you place it after the KAT100. That will show you the SWR looking into your feedline, and at the same time, the KAT100 LEDs will telll you the SWR that the KPA100 is seeing. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/3/2011 1:29 PM, Ray Spreadbury wrote: > Hi Guys > > My K2 has the KPA100W& KAT100 tuner and I thinking of getting the Elecraft > W2 wattmeter kit. > > I believe the W2 is really designed to interface with the K3 but will it > also work OK with my K2? > > If so, do I position it before or after the tuner? > > 73 Ray, G3XLG > __ 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

Works with any transceiver. The RS232 interface is for f/w updates and data displays via an attached computer. > If so, do I position it before or after the tuner? Depends on whether you are using a rig's internal tuner or something external. In my station the W2 is installed between the KPA500 output and an external tuner that I use with an "all-band" doublet. The K3's KAT3 is bypassed in this arrangement. 73, Gus Hansen KB0YH __ 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 with the W2 Wattmeter kit
Hi Guys My K2 has the KPA100W & KAT100 tuner and I thinking of getting the Elecraft W2 wattmeter kit. I believe the W2 is really designed to interface with the K3 but will it also work OK with my K2? If so, do I position it before or after the tuner? 73 Ray, G3XLG __ 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
