Group,
Selling my Mountain OPS Tac-Pac as well, it fits the k2 and comes in black.
I have used it a few times for field trips and such. Condition is like new

Just picked this one up fixing a K2 for a new constructor.
Has anyone noticed that T7 is the only transformer in the K2 with the

In this case I think it had been installed while looking at the diagram for
T5 just above it!

Here are my stats, consistent with what others have found:
You have 2,343 QSO records
You have 260 QSL records
That's roughly 10%.
And these represent only 28 countries.

idea how long it will take to get 100 DXCC entities to QSL

Don,
I did this for a time on my 34' boat. It worked with the SGC tuner (not
too suprising) and I made contacts. It had the added advantage of
lighting all the LED's on the boats power panel, a great indication of
radiated power, and woke up the off watch crew that were sleeping with

That's normal because of the way the dial works.
In normal operation the dial readout is not directly related to the VFO
frequency. It's what the logic *assumes* would be the frequency, assuming
the local oscillator can tune to it. There's no direct measurement of the
local oscillator. The local

Bob,
It is not abnormal - the amount of out-of-hamband range may be slightly
different from one K2 to another.
You may be running out of VFO tuning even though the numbers change. If you
want to verify, check the voltage at the left end of R30 on the RF board.
If it is less than 0.5 volts or muc
It works better for me to flip my KX1 up to access the mini-log instead of
flipping it sideways, because flipping it up gets the paddle away from my
writing hand, where I might accidentally engage it. So, when I cut out the
sheets, instead of following the pattern, I cut the corners out of the top,

Hi Rolf:
I have noticed a similar thing for the past several years.
I think what I'm receiving as 'noise' really might be either AM or FM

Sverre,
Now that I think about it, it appears that the magnitude (strength) of the
clicks/pops is proportional to the strength of any nearby signal. Does that
make sense based upon you knowledge of the PLL/VFO system?

I enjoy receiving paper QSLs because they are more personal, exotic, and
interesting. None-the-less, I must acknowlege the utility and potential of
electronic QSLing.
I upload all my new log entries and have 1485 QSOs logged to both eqsl.cc and
LoTW. On LoTW, I have made 302 matches (20 %).

I'm the builder of #4175 and have a question concerning the lower end of the

down there. I tuned into the AM broadcast band and couldn't
Hello Rolf. Yes, I have noticed the same thing (it appeared that I was

being internally generated in the K2) when touching the nut on key socket on

Sverre,
Thank you for the information. While I do not necessarily like the
behavior, it is comforting to know that it is simply an attribute of the
design and not a problem with my particularly K2.

Mike,
You are hearing the PLL reference transitions (Sverre explained it nicely),
but they should be at a low level and not very noticable unless you listen
closely.
If you happened to run CAL PLL without the bottom cover in place, those
clicks will be louder than normal - so re-run it with the c

currently, I am experiencing noise on certain frequencies while

to touch the key connector. This noise can be heard on e.g. 7010 khz. We
