in short, I had the RF IN and ANT1 connections reversed!
Ah yes, I seem to remember whining on this very reflector when my
brand-new K2 didn't hear very well during initial alignment. Turns
out it helps if you flip the coax switch over to the main antenna
from the dummy load.

Greetings!
I am finishing up a new K2 with internal battery and would like to use a DPDT
switch in place of the supplied one so that I can either connect or bypass the
in-line diode and resistor in the battery wiring depending on what power supply
I am using. Has anyone found a substitute DPDT

The K2 cannot do this.
More than that - you can't QSY whilst transmitting.

I must say that I have been battling this issue for years, especially since
my TV is now a _home entertainment system_ with more cables and wires than
my 1950's ham shack.
I invested in a Brother label maker. It makes nice 1/4 inch plastic labels
that now adorn every wire in the house with either
Gee Tom,
I did the same thing earlier this year, but I wasn't
going to tell on myself. Now, I feel I gotta give you
emotional support for the trauma you've been through.
I figured it out before ripping everything apart.

I really feel the Novice subbands are pretty much a waste. I'd like to

I make a habbit to cruise the Novice sub-bands looking for calls to work. I
call CQ for about 5 minutes on several frequencies in each sub-band. I rarely
get any response on 80M, maybe 1 a week, but 40m produces at least 1 each
evening. I have not found any stations working in the Novice sub-
Problem is, would there be anyone there for him to work? I go into the
Novice bands every once in a while, and activity there (other than the
occasional net) is very scarce. Better to steer him to the qrp freqs
and teach him QRS :)

I'm trying to make suggestions to a new ham, and having not built a K1, can
anyone tell me if the 2-band filter boards can be built to allow for access to
the 80 and 40m Novice subbands?
Thanks,

Hi all,
Been there; done that.
After I finally figured out what I had done and then checked the equipment,
I was very thankful Elecraft makes rugged equipment that can often withstand
some unintentional abuse.

Hi Tom, and all,
Glad to see that I'm not the only one to do things like that. Mine occurred
this past Saturday. I bought a KX1 and it arrived Friday, so naturally, I
dropped everything and started building. 30 meter board first, then the ATU
to have them ready when the time came. After that, I

A very nice read. Confession is good for the soul. I must confess I was
building a KPA100/KAT100 in an EC2 enclosure for a fellow not long ago and
when trying to calibrate the output meter I never could get it the right
indications on the wattmeter and the max I could get out on my KPA1

Man, I just HATE it when I have to come clean... but here goes... mainly
for the benefit of anyone else out there who runs into the same problem...
About three weeks ago, the day before left on a trip, we had a pretty
'healthy' thunder storm track right over the top of N0SS Central.
