Hi Don,
I'd like to see what you've done with your matrix. I
have mix and match relays in the 12 to 24VDC range
that switch various antennas in and/or reverse phase.
Looking to find some way of elegantly tying it all
thru my KRC2 this year.
Sounds like you may have the elegant part worried...

Hi Tom,
Just letting you know that I did hear you faintly here in icy LI, NY. I took

I'm about to build the XV60 60m / transverter adaptor for my K2. At the
moment, and for the forseeable future, I have no use for the transverter
capability; I just want to try operating the 60m band. Is it possible to
populate just the part of the board that pertains to the 60m capability and

Craig,
I personally see no advantage in completing only half the board - there are
just not that many parts involved. If you have an older K2 without the
transverter holes in the lower rear panel, I would consider not mounting the
RCA jacks if no transverter operation were contemplated, but I wou

Thanks to the replies I've received so far!
Ron, you are correct in that my message was asking to different questions.
The first is whether the MDS I calculated was typical even though the XG1
'manual' indicates I should expect -125db vs. my measured at -120db. I don't

Joe,
I would suggest not getting scotch tape anywhere near any ESD sensitive
components.
It develops quite a charge due to the triboelectric effect when you
strip it off the reel, and as a result, if it does not outright kill the
device, it can make it a "walking wounded", working at first,

I find those bits of black sponge that elecraft package their chips in to
be quite useful... once you've freed one or 2 of them up of course.

Hello Group,
After seeing several messages about the D-104, I decided mine looked better
in the shack than on the shelf in my study, so I spent some quality time
with it this weekend.
It has the preamp built in the base, and the little schematic glued to the
base is dated 9-75 which is about when

I finished a K2 last Spring. Shortly therafter the shack came down while I did

that I did not have the K2 plugged and thus the onboard battery was not being

I turned on the K2 without external power and
Craig,
I had the same concern and another OM and I asked Wayne at a hamfest.
Wayne said like Don said, not installing the transverter jacks is an
option, but once I started it I found that adding the single coax cable
took about 10 minutes. I think the manual overstates the time
required.

Just use a G6Y relay and key it with an input from the K2 and switch the
