If you want to start gathering test equipment Matt, you should start
watching eBay and other used equipment sources to get an idea what's out
there and what it goes for. I'm a big believer in buying used gear of
10-20 year old vintage from Hewlett Packard and Tektronix in particular.
I have an
EXcellent thought!

Matt,
On the aquisition of test equipment, there is a tender balance between price
and performance. And it revolves around how often the equipment will be
used and just how accurate is necessary. Tradeoffs are often required. For
instance, I have a very good frequency counter, and my signal gen
hi Matt - it all kind of depends on how accurate YOU want it to be - but you
can align it by simply using any 50MHz receiver or transmitter that is in any
reasonable state of alignment. The adjustment itself is not super critical.
For example, you could have another station send you a CW test s
Hi Matt,
There is always some tolerence in frequency in the amateur radio world. A
modern transceiver such as ICOM IC756pro3 equipped with TCXO could be a very
good alternative frequency source. You may consider bringing your
transverter to hams who own these kind of rigs for calibration. C
According to the transverter manual, I will need a 50mhz signal
generator or a frequency counter to successfully align the
transverter.
I've done a lot searching for signal generators and have found that
those capable of 50mhz are very expensive, around $1500 dollars
minimum.

Very good idea !!! I have the KPA100 in EC-2 too. Would like to hear
from people about that good idea ;-)

does anybody knows the MFJ magnetic loop antenna MFJ 1788?

Good evening. I just received my MFJ-1788 and have it mounted
low on the roof of my condo. The unit is solidly constructed
and the controller box is easy to operate. Tuning is very
sharp.

I am using an SB200 with my K2/100. Works fine.
The SB200 send/receive relay presents a *negative* 150 volts or so to the
relay jack on the rear of the linear and therefore
CAN NOT be operated by the K2 interface directly. I use an external relay
as an interface between the K2 control line

Anyone using this setup?
I'm considering connecting my SB200 in this fashion (Yes, I have a keying
interface!) and wonder how these two play together.

Yes the full charge voltage is in that range although under charge or right
after removing the charger the voltage will be higher around 1.35 volts.
This will drop quickly under load to about 1.25 volts and remain fairly
constant until discharged. NiMH batteries can be charged with a constan

Hi Elecrafters,
I recently posted a tongue-in-cheek note about using the K2 by remote

An update on the spot function problem I had with my K2:
After a few more calibrations I found the spot problem to persist. I finally
tried testing it with a different transceiver instead of the KX1, and the spot

Hallo Allen,
I have had the same problem when building the KPA100. The orientation
of the pot has not been defined and so you realy can't say which the
right direction is.
If the clock would be transparent without digits you would run into
the same problem.

Hi, Paul.
Looking at the picture you posted of the two capacitors, C45 is the blue
one. If you look closely, you will see that the leads coming out of the
case are "preformed". That is, they are bent in slightly. If you measure
where they exit the body of the cap, you will see that the spacing is
One would think that clockwise for a pot would always be the same. A clock
does not turn counterclockwise just because one looks at it from the back.
My left arm is always my left arm no matter the orientation of a viewer. A
manual writer should say: " the end of R6 on your left as looking at
