High Mark, The 5.6k resister came with the microphone and instructions to install it and how to set the jumpers. You provided the key word here, 'electret'. I'd seen the word before, but had thought it was a branding term rather than a functional term. I just did a google search and now I know

Thanks, Don. I picked up two audio ground loop isolators from Radio Shack last week when I wanted to recalibrate my filters using Spectrogram. I figured if I needed one for audio to the computer, I'd probably need on for audio out as well. The isolator worked very well with Spectrogram; it

[Elecraft] K2 and internal battery

I have read what I could find on the Elecraft web site and in this group's archives and am still confused about proper use and care of the K2's internal battery. I know that some owners install a new jack on their K2s to bypass the K2's built-in battery protection (a resistor and a diode?).

Charles, I think Don W3FPR came up with the idea of putting in a second charging jack that bypasses the resistor and diode but has a fuse, so you can use a smart charger. I've put in a jack in mine and bought a double-pole double-throw switch to replace the existing battery switch so I can

Charlie, Hopefully to simplify the battery thing: First, for an SLA battery to charge properly from a supply, there are seveeral ways to accomplish that 1) put a constant 'float' voltage on the battery terminals along with a current limiting resistor in series. Normally the 'float' voltage is to

Hi all, Well after letting the smoke out of a few parts now and then, and getting to know the people at Elecraft very well every time I needed some advice and parts, and of course depending on this list for everyone's advice, I have finally upgraded K2 #402. I got the KAT100 and KPA100 into the

The posts on this topic mention an isolation transformer to separate the computer from the PSK audio line. So I might have missed the boat a little when I decided to ground the computer chassis/case to the common equipment ground. That is, I have a ground rod with a wire coming up to a copper

Conventional wisdom seems to be always use an isolation transformer in the PSK-31 output to your mike input. I think most also agree it best to use one in your PSK-31 input from your rigs audio out. Several of the commercial kits/units do not do the latter. I have tried it with and without and
