Hi All,
While we're discussing sealing antennas and stuff, I'd like to throw my
nickel in.
My work takes me all over the world, doing field expedient communications
intercept systems for military, in deserts and jungles. People die if
these systems fail.

It's funny to read about the K1 on 160M.
Last week, I emailed Wayne and asked if a KX160 (160M/80M version of the
KX1) was even possible.
He said it was doable, even the autotuner (!) but the market would be too
limited to make the actual product.
My money is ready. I wonder how many orders th

Brent and all,
Yes, I have put a K1 on 160 meters. and I wrote a set of instructions and a
parts list for the reflector a while back. It does just great - a 2 band
board with 160 and 80 along with a 4 band board will cover all the lower HF
bands.
Unfortunately, I just found that I did not proper

My new 2 band board is for 160 and 80 meters. Works really great.
If you don't get an answer from the people who did the change, I'll searchup the

Hi:
I am considering obtaining a K2 and just posted a question regarding the
most useful options for QRP.
Now, when using the K2 at home, particularly for contesting, I may want to
run the full 100W. Instead of integrating the 100W PA "permanently" into

Hi:
I am considering obtaining a K2. My primary operating modes are CW and
RTTY. Furthermore, I envision I will be using the K2 a lot for portable
operation (family/business travels), but also some for contesting (again, CW
and RTTY).
What options do you current owners feel most valuable
In results obtained by me with Leif Asbrink on 14 Mhz,
the IP3 is over 10dBm you set the thing as it should be.
The Elecraft K2 is 20+ dBm with preamp off at 5 Khz.
SDR-1000 BDR is 105 dB, the Elecraft K2 is 135 dB
It IMDDR3 is 99 dB, the Elecraft K2 is better.

Scotchbrite or Scotchguard. Yes, the good thing about using the vulcanizing
rubber is that you can cut deep into it with a razor blade and peel
everything off of the coax and connectors. The rubber sticks to itsel

Hello,
Well, I haven't had first hand experience with the "new trimmer caps", but
I have been reading the email. Maybe this idea will make sense (apologies
if it doesn't).
If it is too hard to figure out visually which way to mount the trimmer
caps, why not use a meter. I assume the adjust
Hi Bill,
The ARRL has not published lab tests on the SDR-1000 to my knowledge,
but I do have one here in the lab.
Its an interesting approach for a 100% computer based rig and in general
its RX performance is not too bad, but is is well below the K2 for IMD
dynamic range and Blocking dynamic
Have there been any lab tests published comparing the SDR-1000 against the K-2?
Carry on

Don,
This is not true for the K1. The K1 operating frequency display is not as
smart or foolproof as that of the K2.
In the K1, *only* the base VFO frequency (ranging from about 3.1 to 2.9 MHz
But be sure and use the black ty-wraps. They will last a lot longer.
The white ones don't stand up to the UV.

Good Morning Guys
After a nice weekend working the CQ WPX RTTY contest, I decided that I
