Good Evening All,
We have just arrived back home on the mountain after a fine Greek
dinner. See recipe at the end of this epistle. The Mad Greek is still
doing a fine job after all these years. Our meal finished off a busy day
of banging some math into a microcontroller, sawing more board
R6 is currently uninstalled ... I am still trying to do the CALn null
adjustment ... as I said, instead of having HI showing up continuously,
I know have only '000' on the display. (I don't know if this is
significant, but the manual says the display should look something like
'075 ATU' but I only
Ron made several good points, but I want to add another - I have done repair
work on 2 K2s to date that used lead-free solder, and I can tell you that
de-soldering that stuff is no fun - even with my Hakko 808. Sure the solder
sucks off the side the Hakko is on, but the solder itself apparently do

The first thing that occurs to me is that the single turn of wire through
the center of T1 may be missing. The second thing is that T1 itself may not
be properly wound or properly soldered. Check that the proper color wire is
inserted into the proper holes (the color of the wire in hole 2 should
Until today, I've been using an Icom AT-180 antenna tuner with my
IC-706MKIIG. Well, today, it gave up the ghost. Looking back, it never
really did work right.
I want to replace it with another auto antenna tuner (in the shack). Any
suggestions? Any that will interface with the 706?
Thanks

Anyone?
Apart from being told "loads of us are stockpiling lead-based stuff
while we still can", I've not really had any useful advice on
Well, my KAT2 saga continues.
I did indeed find some unsoldered pins on one of the relays, and
corrected this.

Hello,
Today if the thunderstorms hold off until the evening I plan on operating
the QRP AField sprint for a few hours on the Appalachian Trail. I was

I will be out on the AT in PA after 16:00 UTC.
Will start out on
I have built 100+ K2's to date, and all of the other Elecraft kits. Let me
