I have a like new K2 serial no. 349X for sale. It included the KSB2 and KAT2
adapters and all paperwork. It works great! I want to build another and that
is why I am selling. This is the second I have built. I am a retired
electronics instructor and have built many, many kits and homebrew items.
You will find good software in the Ham Radio Deluxe software (free for
download - well done Simon and Peter) as well as the N4PY software - not
free, but good price or good, professional software (use Google to find
links) - Carl is a real professional. These both provide full front panel

OK, I am cutting thru this I/O kit like butter. Should have it done in

A 15 pin connector will fit the same hole as a 9 pin. With a little
imagination, you will have 6 pins left over for, say, Pauli's PSK board
or whatever. The circuit board fingers don't line up as perfectly as it
would on a 9 pin, but you can make it work. It
I just wanted any hints or problems they may have had assembling the KIO kit.
Most people will build a kit and then find out mods you shoud have known
about.
so I am just asking if anybody had to solve anything unusual building and
installing the computer interface.
Why not get advice
Coax, will only exacerbate RF in the shack on an end fed long wire. You
will have radiation back down the outside of the shield and if the coax is a
critical fraction of a quarter wave at the shack end, it will radiate
there.
The unbalance in end feed with ladder line is only 10 per cent per L.
Here is what happened when I worked with a hunk of
wire recently. I have a 160 meter Inverted-L antenna
that is a little longer that 130 footaround 135
feet. I have a feed point at the base of the tower
which is about 10 feet from the tuner. My tower is
right near the shack. See

Hello Guys,
I am just wondering what for are C78 and RFC8 on the RF board?
They are only supplied with the 80m kit.
I have a KFL1-4 and sometimes I am using KFL1-2 80/15m
which a friend gave to me.So I don´t have C78 and RFC8 installed
on my RF board.Could this cause any problems? What problems?

It looks like your RBW is way too high, which will increase the apparent
noise level by a large amount. It should be set to 100 Hz also. Set your
sweep to auto so it will go slowly enough to make the measurement. It
will take some time for the sweep.

Hello Dwight,
The External PA Key jack does not source current to drive a relay;
rather, it sinks current from the relay, so you essentially connect your
relay between the +12 volt source and the External PA Key jack. So, if
what you're asking, is how to connect an external relay with a 12 vol
