Hi all,
The fluctuating voltage issue at D13 and U4 has been resolved - it turns out
this was caused by my power supply. Switching to another supply cured this.
Thanks to Don for pointing me in that direction.
I'm now at page 44 of the manual - Receiver Tests

Hi Geoff. K8ZOA has designed a nice panadapter that I showed at my booth
at Dayton, connected to my K2. It looks very nice, and connects to a
computer for a nice display. There is also an optional GLCD display for
standalone use.
It uses a DDS chip to determine IF center frequency, so it

I am rechecking T4. Leads 1 2 are Green hookup wire in 2 turns on
the binocular core, leads 3 4 are white in 3 turns.
I think I have wound it correctly...it looks the same as the diagrams
in Figures 6-28 and 6-29.

OK, I goofed once again.
It turns out that the advice to NEVER work on the kit when you're tired or
not thinking clear is a piece of GOLDEN advice.
My KPA100 was nearly ready on Friday night, I only had to attach the cables
to connect the KPA to the K2 motherboard.
Instead of waiting until

Yes, you have it correct. Each pass of the wire through both holes is one
turn.
Note for the near future - when you put in the 'links', these bare wires go
only through one hole of the binocular core.

Those pins are actually easy to remove, but it does take a bit of care.
Use a very small tip screwdriver-like tool and depress the small 'tongue' of
metal that should have popped up into the slot on the side of the connector
housing - once that has been depressed, the pin should slide out
As I'm new to the Elecraft discussion list, I run the danger of

It can mean that to many Hams. That term, like so many, are misused in Ham

Unfortunately, the SoftRock 4.0 from AmQRP is sold out, as is

I am building K2 #5538. All was going well until I got to the PLL upgrade

My two questions are:

The PLL Temp Comp board sits vertically on the RF Board - upright just like
an R pak would sit.
Yes, use solid wire. If you received only stranded wire with your K2 kit,
that was a packing error - the solid wire commonly has green insulation, but
that could possibly be changed. The Encoder
