[Elecraft] Re: Elecraft K2
Kurt, lots of opinions aside from mine, and you might want to joining the Elecraft list at http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft having said that, I like the internal battery for just using it on the patio or deck, and not dragging a power supply out as well, and picnic table top portable operations. I like the DSP fairly well also, as well as the RS-232 interface, and 60 meter and transverter option, and the 160M 2nd RX antenna. I think they will be adding an adapter to use their KXPD1 paddle (originally for the KX1), which I have been beta testing, and it is a nice addition as well if you operate much CW. I am cross-posting this list to the Elecraft list as well, and see if we can get you a few more opinions. 73 de Dave, W5SV Kurt wrote: Good Morning to all, I traded for a K2 (#2014) yesterday and so far am really surprised on how good of rig it is. It has some options already installed and looking to add a few more, but one I am looking at is the internal battery option to use the radio while portable and would it be worth while? I do not go portable a lot, and also thinking about getting the serial port option. I already have the internal ATU,SB,NB,audio filter, I have read that the DSP is good also. Any suggestions or comments would be welcomed. 73 Kurt WA8VBX ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

[Elecraft] Re: (Elecraft) K2 Modifications
Scott, The basic K2 & KSB2 have no mods since the Serial number approx. 4000. The S/N now is approaching 6000. Elecraft is the only supplier of ham gear that I am aware of that has the guts to tell their customers about improvements they have made to their products and make the mods available to their customers. DO NOT sell your kits on ebay because of possible mods suggested by Elecraft. When you get your order you will see how easy the kits are to assemble and line up. You will not be sorry. Incidentily the KPA100 has not had any mods for about 4 years, and those just announced are not necessarily required in all installations. 73, Bob VE3XM K2 S/N 04575 K2/100 S/N 04031 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] Re: Elecraft K2 TR adapter
Lars Edwards, wrote regarding the K2 T-R Relay Driver Adapter PC Board: Do you by any chance have a board and parts kit available and if so what is the cost inc. shipping ? Using appropriate components, this device should key just about any T-R line presented by an external RF amplifier which must key +120VDC or less at no more than 3A. This includes virtually all current production HF amps, including the Heathkit SB220/SB-221 series of amps.. though the Heath amps are NOT QSK-capable unless they have been modified. So far, I've only offered the PC board itself.. for $6 ppd to your mailbox. Up to now, I've made the boards, in small quantities, in my kitchen, using a photographic contact exposure technique which yields excellent quality boards, BUT which were hand drilled. I had no way I could (to my satisfaction) tin plate the copper side of the board. Just yesterday, I sent an order to FAR Circuits, to have them make a supply of PC boards which would be machine-drilled AND which will be solder coated as well. I should have these new PC boards within 2 weeks. In the past, because orders have been slow, and generally few, I've supplied builders with a parts listing and component part numbers from Mouser Electronics (www.mouser.com). However, I'm planning on 'kitting' the entire kit of parts, so builders will be able to order a complete kit from me. At this point, there are two models of the T-R driver circuit which are available, one which uses two (2) 2N7000 MOSFET transistors, and which is good to drive relays up to about 50VDC and around 200mA of current, and a model which uses one 2N7000 for the input, but a heavy-duty HEXFET (possibly an IRF610B) which will drive loads up to about 200VDC and 3A current. ONLY THE HEAVY-DUTY driver will be offered as a kit. The complete kit would run about $16 each, postpaid to any US destination... $1 (US) more to a DX location. I'll still offer the bare PC boards for $6 ppd ($7 US to DX). I should have complete kits available in 2-3 weeks, bare PC board (hopefully) within 2 weeks.

[Elecraft] Re: Elecraft: K2 Audio Problem
Well, I checked my audio, 40m, antenna disconnected, quiet room, no PreAmp or Attenuation, found no difference between AGC On & Off. RF Gain max (fully clockwise); AF gain has to be basically full clockwise to get semi-decent audio (internal speaker, or external via rear audio jack). PreAmp On helps crank it up. Have not checked speaker wiring, will do that as soon as I can and report back. Only major bummer I've run into w/my K2, S/N 5601, so far. But given that this sounds like a somewhat common problem, I'm thinking I'll need to get an amplified speaker. Perhaps Elecraft needs to look into and address the issue? 72 de N8PVZ ---bernie BTW, I had the rig built for me, and the builder did an overall excellent job, so I think the audio issue is somewhat unlikely to be an assembly problem. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[Elecraft] Re: Elecraft K2 IF for EME
I don't use my K2 for EME but it is my main rig for microwave weak signal work, largely on CW. I tend to use the SSB filter for CW and rely on my ears for filtering, and have not found filter ripple to be a significant problem. On the plus side it is nice to have direct read out of frequencies on the microwave bands (though truncated), and the ability to offset the display to take out the microwave LO offsets is very nice. The ability to set different power levels for each transverter band is also very handy. On the negative side, my noise blanker won't touch radar QRM, whereas my IC756 is very good at removing it, so I stick with the 756 on 23cm where radar is prevalent in Europe. The other problem is the level of birdies on receive in the European beacon band in particular (28.8 - 29.0 after transverting). This makes beacon searching a rather tedious process as it takes a while to hear the keying to decide if the signals are real or not. 73 John G3XDY ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Re: Elecraft: K2 Audio Problem
Bernie, are you looking for lots of noise from the K2 audio with the antenna *disconnected*? Reading your message below, that sounds like it might be the case. My K2 is fairly quiet with no antenna. I like that the K2 does not have an excess amount of internally-generated noise. I grabbed my sound level meter and made some measurements with both the RF and AF gain full "up" right at the speaker (put the sound meter mic right against the top of the rig over the speaker) and the AGC OFF so see how much audio it can produce. On 10 meters (the band with the least local QRN) with no antenna connected and the preamp On (normal on 10 meters) the sound level is 103 dB with the AGC off. Checking the QRN level with the AGC On indicates about S4. The S-meter is calibrated to show no bars with the antenna disconnected and S9 with 50 uV at the antenna. (Remember, that 103 dB is *at* the speaker. It's a more reasonable 68 dB about 2 feet away where my ears usually are when operating the K2.) Connecting an antenna to the K2 jumps that background up from 103 dB to 126 dB at the speaker. At that level I'd not want to stay in the room with the rig more than a few seconds! The noise hurts at arm's length away. Down on 40 meters the QRN level is about S-6. At full volume, AGC off, it pegs my noise level meter at 126 dB. Without an antenna the noise level at the speaker is about 93 dB compared to 103 dB on 10. That's because I have the preamplifier turned off on 40. Of course the bandwidth makes a huge difference when listening to noise. Those are levels of normal band QRN coming through the SSB filter. Over the years there have been a number of perfectly credible reports of *some* K2s having audio that was often reported as "anemic". I've never seen a good reason for that reported here, nor do I recall anyone discovering an assembly problem that cause it either.

RE: [Elecraft] Re: Elecraft: K2 Audio Problem
Bernie, In the past, I have complained about 'weak' audio on my K2 SN 00020, but I have since modified T7 to the newer turns ratio of 20:7, and I no longer complain - yes, there is not as much raw audio power as found in some other transceivers, but the K2 will 'blow your ears off' if the gain is turned up too far. T7 is one thing you may want to check - the 20 turn (red) winding should be connected toward the IF amplifier chip - if it is reversed, the audio will be quite 'anemic'. If you find T7 connected correctly, about the only other thing that can cause weak audio is improperly aligned IF filters. The use of Spectrogram is highly recommended. If you have questions about how to set the filters, check the last part of the K2 Dial Calibration information on my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com or look at the information on the Elecraft website.
