Julius,
You will likely find the problem associated with the VRFDET signal
somewhere.
Also, if you recently did the keyclick mod, look at that work carefully for
proper components, good soldering, and parts added in the correct spots on
the back of the control board.

If you have a power short, there are various ways to fix it. First,
look for solder bridges around components, IC's, etc. If you don't find
any solder splashes or bridges, you may have a bad part. Now, how do
you find it? If the set was OK up until your last steps, then you only

Hello All,
I've had a problem crop up that has me scratching my
head.
I have K2 #3311 with the KPA100 and the KAT100. It's
possible this problem has existed for a while, but
I've just noticed it when trying to rebuild my
antennas after a microburst attack. I can set the

The S-meter's accuracy could be improved. This is on my list for a

Yes, it certainly seems like your AGC threshold could stand to be
re-adjusted. The recommended 3.8 volts will be close, but is not any magic
number - the proper setting will vary from one K2 to another. I have seen
good results with voltages as low as 3.6 volts, but none higher than 3.8

Here are the results of the 2004 TAC Sprint. We had a total of 29 entries.
This is almost double the entries from last year. So we do plan on having

promote activity in the sprint. If you have a month you think the

Note that R/S has a similar, but MUCH LOWER QUALITY connector. Generally,
their connectors allow the center contact to protrude enough that it could,
conceivably, short out to some thing metal. The Switchcraft connectors have
the center contact recessed a bit, making shorts MUCH less probably.
Radio Shack Part #274-1569 for the 'inline' solder plug. They also have
an assortment of pre-wired cables and your choice of tips. Choose
the 'M' tip. They have prewired 'Y's', extensions. Nice stuff, but don't
expect anyone there at RS to know what you want or where to find it.

comments from others who have built this fine addition to the Elecraft

Hi Wayne,
I've been kicking around several designs to mount a KXPD1 paddle to the right
side panel of a K1, and later, a K2.
Before I get too sporting, are you thinking of some sort of mount that would

Thanks,

Try swapping the rubber grips. My craftsmanship left the wire on the "dit"
side is a little bumpy, even after squishing it with needle nose pliers-it
sends continuous dits with one of the rubber sleeves, but not the other.
Also, make sure the spring steel levers are aligned so that they fit into
