Ed, While I may be wrong, I would think there is no problem with either the KIO2 or the K2. If you look at the KIO2 Programmers Reference, you will find that the K2/KIO2 report (or get) the frequency in 11 digits - the high order and the low order digits are ignored when sending a frequency to th

The KBT1 should have been made easily removable so that the compromises associated with having it installed need only be suffered when absolutely needed. The KBT1 *should* attach via a cable with a polarized two-pin female connector to a male connector *anchored* on the RF board. This wo

It is difficult to suggest just where the problem may be. It could simply be a matter of filter alignment, or it could be something not right in the receiver path. Since the receive path is now complete (although the front end is now built only for 40 meters). so you can either debug it now or lat
