Hi Carl,
I experienced the same as you about two months ago. I took out the battery
from the rig completely and charged it with a smart charger. I eventually
got a full charge reading of 13.2v and the battery is still working now.

I just recently replaced the battery in my K2. I ordered from Elecraft,

RF-wise an N-type and BNC-type connector are actually very similar. The

To see how similar they are try this:

Yes this is a known problem. After some correspondence with

that it is caused by a software bug in the KSB2 firmware.
The work-around is to leave the meter in ALC mode, which is
what I do. I have seen no other mention of this p

The BNCs can easily handle 250 W. Actually they can easily handle 1500W

Also, they do not make PCB mount versions of PL and N connectors that

Tom,
That is not normal.
First see if the problem is with your CW filter itself or it is in the
filter switching on the KSB2 board. Proceed as follows:
If you have a steady signal source of known frequency and amplitude, tune
that signal on the K2, noting the s-meter or audio level for both SSB
When I switch to CW the signal that was an S9 in SSB is now only an
S1-3. Weak signals disappear. I've set the filters centered on the 600
Hz side tone and when the signal is dead center is when it's S1-3. I've
tried reverse CW and it's the same. Is there a problem or is this
normal? Right now I do

Hi Ken,
Assuming you have the crystal filter adjustment where you want it in
Spectragram, they tend to not to be as brick wall as the DSP, but still are
very good for a single adjustable crystal filter. However, the crystal
filters are in the IF and they are needed to cut out adjacent interference

Hi Stan
You do it just the way you would without the DSP unit.
First select the pitch you want to have at the center of the filter.
I use about 550 Hz here.
Then adjust the KDSP2 for the narrowest setting you want to use,
say 100 Hz, centered on the pitch you have selected. Now do
the adjustments
Hi Eric et al,
I wonder whether it is a good idea to use BNC on equipment which is

It might be a good idea to offer a variant of these kits with PL

A good DSP filter has exactly the characteristics you describe.
