This my goal for this CQWW. My K2 and my contest-Logger (TLF by PA0R
using Suse Linux 9.1) are setup and ready for the challenge.
I use a 22m sloper antenne.

will be active and some great DX with great op's and very good

worked VP9, 3D2, VP2, V73, V31, KP2, CO6, CX4, V
Hi Brian
I only use Linux for my logging as I do not have Windows on my computers.
For logging I wrote a small Tk/Tcl program which uses MySQL for storing
the logbook. The program runs under X, I use KDE.
I also have a serial connectin to my K2, so the program
can read/control the Freq, Mode, et
Thanks Ron !!!
Again, very clear explanation... very appreciated !!!
The main reason I'm looking for that kind of explanation is that I wish
to learn more how my K2 work. And I don't have much electronic
experience and knowledge, neither radio design, etc...
But I have one thing: the will...
That's not the case for the 4 MHz oscillator in the K2, Jean-François.
First of all, the 4 MHz clock on the control board and the trimmer capacitor
C22 have nothing directly to do with the PLL. That's why adjusting C22
doesn't change your frequency. But what you read in the handbook is right.

Hi Brian.
On the Linux side I use jLog. It's a platform independent general logger
that runs on Win, Lin, or Mac OS. As long as you've got a Java runtime
installed you can run it on anything. There are several others that look
and run well. You might take a look at gLog as well.
Here's a lin

Thanks to all who responed.My original setup was a BNC tee off the K2 with
a 4 foot rg58 coax with bnc on one end and jumper hooks on the other and I then
connected the 10x probe to the jumper hook.
Using just the 10x probe was ok. It was the added 4 ft coax that caused the
problem.
Hi,
Thanks to everyone for the advice on getting permissions for ttyS0/1. It
woked out great and I got my first Linux QSO about 5 minutes later. A

Even with advice to the contrary, I'm going to try the K desktop PSK

My K2 #4424 completed today after several months of off and on building. A few
part issues speedily resolved by superb Elecraft service and several cockpit
errors fixed along the way. Unit met every tuneup without a hitch the first
time. Only slight issue is approximately 8.5 watts output on

1. Elecraft could ask (here?) permission
2. Or simply answer inquiries without publicizing callsigns.
3. It would be great PR even to list the *countries* where they are in use!

Jerry,
Did you use a X10 probe with the scope?
The problem could be related to the stub effect at the operating frequency
caused by the scope leads and the capacitance the scope input circuit presents
to the K2. Particularly with RF a X10 probe or a high impedance detector is

Jerry,
The variation in power when holding TUNE is not unexpected - it is due to
the transmit ALC settling out. Yes, the power out is just what the display
says, but it will settle down after several presses of the button. Not
something to be concerned about. In normal operation, the power

Hi,
Looking to trade a loaded K1 for KX1 with tuner/30m
K1-2 #382, 20/40 meter, KAT1,KNB1,KBT1
Unfinished KFL1-4
The K1 works fine as a 2 bander, the 4 band module has been giving me
trouble, see list. K1 does have Mouser tuning pot in it. Sale price $390USD
or trade for KX1 with tuner.

Roland:
Down load the ADOBE PDF file of the manual from the Elecraft web site. In
the block for K2 is a link to the Archive for older manuals with reference
to serial numbers range. This will help you find the parts. If you click on
the page before you start search adobe will start on that page
Roland,
Picking up someone else's work is harder that starting it yourself, but can
be done - just take your time and do things one step at a time (see below).
If you are using a "cheapie" multimeter, treat yourself to a DMM - they are
available in a range of prices. Marlin P. Jones and Assoc
