[Elecraft] KPA-100 low power problem on 17m..10m

2006-03-17 Thread recarter
I just finished the KPA100 for my K2 this week. The K2 and associated accessories were purchased within the last month. Without the KPA100, I get 10W or more on each band. Most bands provide about 15W, but 10M barely makes the 10W rated output with about 10.5W. I think the K2 is just fine.

[Elecraft] Lost Power out on K2

The first K2 I built has been working great for over a year. All of a sudden the best it would do is about 7/10 watt below 10mhz and nothing above. The 100 watt section has been removed and get the same results. Also getting HI CUR. My first guess would be final related. The nuts on the case

Rich, First question - is your KPA100 wattmeter properly calibrated? If not, this can be the single source of your problem. Second question - how are you determining power output? The K2 power display will be from different sources when you add and remove the KPA100. If you are relying on

[Elecraft] K2, Audio Hiss

2006-03-17 Thread Howard W. Ashcraft
I was listening to 40 meters late last night (virtually no one there so I had some time to fool around with the rig) and noticed the level of audio hiss in the K2. With RF gain off completely and AF gain fully advanced, there is a fair amount of hiss. This is also noticeable at operating levels

Don Thanks for the reply. I have a pretty decent Daiwa power meter. It tracks very well on the other bands and matches the displayed power output of the K2. I think the power level displayed by both the K2 and the Daiwa meter are correct. I do have a decent scope that I could use to verify

Hey guys, here's the next (of many) questions. How heavily used is the DMM during K2 building? I just finished my first two mini-modules and used the DMM only a little - for resistance checks. I've scanned through the K2 manual and it looks like a DMM is used here there for resistance checks

Rich, Yes, it is easy to scan the KPA100 LPF with the MFJ259 or any other antenna analyzer - and that would be the first step. Remove the AUX RF connector from the K2 RF Board and insert a 51 ohm resistor leads into the connector going to the KPA100 - then connect the analyzer to the SO239
