Good Evening, Oregon weather has turned normal again. Cold, grey, and gloomy :) But the bands were good the last time I checked and the stove is stoked with wood. I think tomorrow would be a good day to have a net. If the coronal mass ejection is kind 20 meters will work and 40 meters wi

RE: [Elecraft] K2 and KX1 Building Experience

This is a page that I think everyone who is even contemplating building one of these radios, should read first. They will have no doubt that it is a great rig to build and use. I have the K2, K1 and the KX1. I only built the KX1, but found it a wonderful experience. I take the KX1 with me whenever

[Elecraft] Free kit building

I am still not back at work full time and would like to offer to anyone free kit building. I hope to not have the time to take on something like a K2, but any mono-banders, K1, KX-1, or something like that would be great. I would hope to offer this to those that may be electronically, physically c

Re: [Elecraft] 160 m contest

Elecrafters, I am so impressed with the K2 again. The 160 meter contest is running full swing last night and I could S&P with a tight filter in and just comb the bands for station. Worked like a charm. The KAT-100 does a fantastic job on the Inverted-L and I have worked just about everythin

[Elecraft] K2 and KX1 Building Experience

For what it may be worth possibly to someone just beginning, I posted my experiences building my K2 (#4398) and KX1 (#897) to my web site . Hope to work as many as possible in Monday's Spartan Sprint. This time, I'll be using a 9V battery for a rig weight of about 0.77 lbs (I hope it will last 2 h

[Elecraft] SSBCAPKT

Just finished installing the SSBCAPKT MOD this AM. Took less than two hours including alignment, and I don't have a Hako! Well worth the time and the few dollars it cost. The SSB is much easier to listen to, yet doesn't sound like the "HiFi'ers." Rich, KE0X

[Elecraft] Erratic KAT100 tuning behaviour

Radio is K2 No. 2005 w/ all options and latest firmware updates. Attached is the remote K2/100 with the KAT100. I did in the past have erratic behavior from the KAT100 until I installed the shield mod kit. That seemed to clear up the problem until recently. Now the gremlin seems to have come back f

[Elecraft] 160 m contest

Hello Elecrafters, "My, what good ears you have" I say to my K2!! This has been a fun contest so far. Noise levels extremely low as presented to the front end via a CW160 antenna. Paper and pencil logging, gasp! many are saying!! Works. Taking time out during the day to shop with the xyl and put t

[Elecraft] toroids-kt5x

Thanks Fred for this is a marvelous idea on toroid winding. It will also be of great assistance to someone like myself with limited dexterity in my left hand as it sounds like this method will work quite nicely. This will be filed away for future reference. Thanks. 72/71 de "rc" kc5wa

[Elecraft] things to sort kit parts

I sort kit parts completely differently. I group parts, and tape one lead, bunches of capacitors of the same value all together, I scotch tape them to a piece of paper. Then I write the value and the part numbers on the piece of paper next to them. I put the same type of part on the same pa

[Elecraft] USB to RS232

I seem to remember an article on a neat little PIC project, a USB to RS232 converter. I know there are a bunch out there for around $30 but I like to tinker, OK? Anyone remember that one? I think it was in QST. 73, Jim, W4ATK K2 #4028 ___ Elecr
