As per my experiments with fixed audio out on pin 8 of the mic socket...
Don and Sverre were both correct in their assessment that changing the value
of the 10k resistor would make little difference. I tried a 3k and 2k in
it's place and could detect no noticeable difference.

Hi Harvey,
Would appreciate if you get feedback to post what you hear. I think my
denoisier is too aggressive in position one. Looking for recommendations for
the settings.

Hi Dean,
I had made some resistor changes to increase the compression. It works well
now. I do not have my Elecraft notes handy but I got the info to change from
the following web site. I couldn't find the English version of this.

Michael,
Check the 'Firmware Requirements' section of the K60XV manual.
You must have Version 1.07 or later of the KSB2 firmware installed to
provide proper power level control when using SSB through the low-power
output.
It does sound like you have an earlier version of the KSB2 firmware.
73,
Thanks Don
Good point, i have proberly been a little careless on this SW requirement, as i
got the K2#5111 with all options in one shipment from Elecraft. I
guess they normal take good care that the right versions are included when
shiping together. But i will indeed check as soon i get home
I have enjoyed the occasional queries and responses from this august group on
the subject of antennas and the answers have added greatly to my understanding.
I have yet to see much advice on the closeness of buildings, hence my query

Clark, KE4RQ, asked:
I installed a commercial multiband inverted V at my QTH and have had poor
results for DX. It looks like a Windom design with the feedpoint off-center
and comes with a balun to allow for coax feed. According to the specs, it
should provide a match at 80, 40, 20, 17, 12, and
I haven't been too happy with the power output
of my K2, but I didn't know if my vintage 1979
Heathkit power meter is reading low.
Today, I used an oscilloscope and measured
70.4 Volts peak to peak at 1.817 MHz into a
50 ohm dummy load with the meter indicating just
under 10 Watts.
I trust
hi all,
thanks to all for you input. I have got the email from Elecraft that they
are sending me the missing part. The support from both of you is excellent
and vy much appreciated here.

getting it twice.
Hi Don
again thanks
The SSB Firmware was ok, version 1.8 so no problem there.
Now i have found the issue on the K2, but not the solution. The desribed
issue seen on the low power out are comming
Hi Uli,
The KXB3080 kit will be $65 and includes the newest KX1 firmware if
needed. (We've been shipping KX1s with this version (V1.02) since Feb 7th.)
We're putting it into production now and it should be ready to ship in
about 2 weeks. (The only item left to complete is our final review of

antenna is below the highest objects, be it hill or house.
You can possibly get more interesting contacts by arranging a rotating guy
ring to which to attach the high point of the antenna. Then, get some

I played around during the last hour of the ARRL DX contest over the weekend.
After a few Q's with my K2/100 I switched over to the K1. Bam! Bam! I was
raising EU's with one call using 5W to a rotary trap dipole at 35 ft. Worked
28 countries on 40/20/15 in 35 mins. It was like riding
Michael,
That is normal - the K2 spec for 10 meter coverage is 28.0 to 28.8 MHz at 10
watts output and it falls off more rapidly at the high frequency end than
the low end.
You may be able to increase the usable coverage at the expense of the
maximum available output by peaking the 10 meter
Party Time!
excellent news and congratulations on the new baby...

Ian,
That just amplifies my distrust of wattmeters. If you were on a 100 watt
scale and the wattmeter spec is as good as 5% of full scale, you could
expect an error of up to 5 watts (either high or low) - most amateur grade
wattmetrs are speced for 10% of full scale (or even 20% in some cases),
Last week I asked on this reflector about realigning
my K2 as it is about 10 months old and I wasn't really
sure I did a good job of it the first time. Several
good people here on the reflector adviced it probably
was a good idea and offered some valuable suggestions
for this time around.

Hi Tom
I agree !
I enjoyed ARRL test last week end with my K2/5w.
I had 120 QSOs and 20,000 points.

Hello all!
I finally got around to mailing out polar bear claws.
K1EYY and N3DRK will each receive a nice polar bear claw replica
for being my first contact during the December and January PBMMEs.
Talking about PBMMEs, I will hand out a BEAUTIFUL Canadian $2.00 Coin to
my next PB first contact!
Jim,
Where are you observing the 20+ dB difference between CW and SSB?
Spectrogram?, the S-meter?, or your ears?.
And I might also ask what audio frequencies are you setting the low and high
ends of the passband for the CW (and CWr) setting? - they should be quite
similar (or identical) to those
Just finished the Front Panel Board...
Resistance checks all technically correct...but on J1, pins 1 thru 7
and 9 thru 14 read as OPEN on an autoscale Ohmmeter. I say
technically correct because resistance (infinite) is 1M or 50K as
the case may be.
Do I have a problem?
Should I email

John,
Forge onward! If I understand correctly, you are correct in all ways
including 'technically' - 'Greater than' means 'greater than' in most any
way that you can say it, and infinity (or open circuit) is greater than 1M
or 50K (whichever may be listed). The actual value may depend on how
I have been playing around with the K2 since finishing it. No
successful QSOs yet, but I blame the bands, my limited operator skills,
and limited operating time rather than the rig.
However, while testing, I noticed that my MFJ-941E claims that the K2 is
putting out about 10 W on 40 meters
Cathy,
First I am going to make an assumption (I know that is dangerous!). I would
believe that you are operating into an antenna rather than a good 50 ohm
non-reactive dummy load.
Now, if your antenna impedance is lower than 50 ohms, the wattmeter will
report the power correctly, but the base
27 matches
