Folks,
it is with great regret that I announce the passing of Paulí Núñez i
Iglesias, EA3BLQ.

For those of you that have thinkered with the K2 on digital modes, he
was the provider of a very nice kit that fit inside the rig, that you
may see at

Just completed the phase III and thought everything was hunky-dory. Well
almost. . . Seems like 40 meters won't tune around. The VFO is showing
something but I knew something was amiss because I keep hearing the same RTTY
signal. The rest of the bands seem fine. Just 40. hmmm
The other prob
Not sure if my last mail made it out to the group. So I'm retyping. Just
finished phase III alignment and thought everything was okay. Couldn't believe
my luck! So I thought, why not give her a try on 40 cw? Well the display
shows me tuning around but I keep hearing the same RTTY signal. C
The antenna has been sold
Thanks

This is very sad news. Pauli was a gentleman, a real pleasure to do
business with. My condolences to his wife and family.

Roland,
As a sanity check, re-check the voltage at the left end of R30 while tuning
40 meters, it should not be constant. If it is constant, the VCO is not
tuning. If you have no tuning on 40 meters but the rest of the bands tune
fine, the most probable component at fault is C71 in the VFO Range
Pauli and I have exchanged e-mail many times and it was always a very
pleasant experience. He will be missed.
My condolances to his family.
73,

This is very sad news indeed.
I enjoyed building his digital interface for the K2, and his posts to this
list.
My condolences to his family and to those who knew him personally.

Dear all,
those tutorials are excellent! By the way: You can hardly expect that you can
easily
use a oscilloscope without training and reading documentation.
And to make it even worse: There are much more complicated instruments like
network
analysers or logic analysers, where you have to st
The overall receiver gain of the K2 I just built (serial number 4993) seems
low as compared with my older serial number 315 K2.
The max AGC threshold voltage I can get is 3.82 volts. (3.8 is what is
called for in alignment and Test Part I), but the troubleshooting section
says you can increase th
Hello Tim,
I had the same experience. Mine was max 3.78V but it seems nothing to worry
about. I do agree that the given figures and the real ones don't give the
right feeling. I was worried as well. It would haven been "better" to have
the real figures somewhere midway the lower and maximum limits

Tim,
Actually that troubleshooting section of the manual is incorrect - the gain
of the receiver will increase if you DECREASE the AGC THRESHOLD voltage.
The really optimized voltage for the AGC Threshold is the highest voltage
that shows no change in internal noise (no antenna connected) when cha
The max on K2 #4090 was 3.78V, too. I moved on and didn't worry about
it. The radio works great! If it was more than .5V difference, I
probably would have been more concerned.

There is a mod to unsolder one of the wires from one end of the DB9 plug and
put in a capacitor to eliminate RF from getting into this cable. I cannot find
this mod. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks, Roy W4WFBNo virus found in this outgoing message.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help... As Don pointed out the IF
gain decreases with an increase in voltage. I set the voltage at a point
where there is no difference in the background noise with AGC on and off and
the sensitivity is betterI built the little Elecraft generator a fe
True you do not have to have a license to take all the tests up to Extra,
BUT,
You do have to take the element that makes up the Technician test, just as
you have to take all the elements after Tech, to then take the Extra test.
You cannot just take one or two elements for a particular level, unle
For some reason now I can't seem to get the S-meter calibrated, or at least
it won't stay where I put it. When I do a S-LO, I set it to just go out...
then when I hit menu to go back to the freq readout, the s-meter will jump
up to about mid-scale.. All this is with no signal input of course..
Hello non-neophites!
I'm way over my head in trying to get my K-2 assembled. I have had no kit

experience in electronics (why did I take on this project?)!
Anyway, I'm committed (financially). I'm now encountering the first pr

almost certain on getting an elecraft QRP CW rig (why

either a K1 or KX-1 (K1 if I can afford it). I have
some experience woth soldering and electronics, but I
do not feel comfortable enough to takl
I was told to report back. Ok, I told you-all before that 40 meters wasn't
tuning except on the display. Well I thought all the other bands were tuning.
Looks like 30 meters isn't tuning around either.
I was told by Don to check left on R30. I checked and while tuning noticed
that the vol
Roland,
I suggest you start by re-checking the VCO voltage readings as specified on
page 61 of the manual. At the time they were done, you ahould have had all
voltages within range. Ask yourself what has changed in the VCO area since
that time - the answer would normally be 'nothing'. You may w
Wow, You know I've done that test 4 times now and this time it was really
different on 3 bands on 30,40,15 meters I get 8.4v. That is very different
from before. They were always within range.
Before I did Phase III, my voltages were
40m hi=1.7 / lo=3.2
30m hi=3.5 / lo=4.1
15m hi=2.6 / lo=5
