Hey Guys,
I was trying to operate Field Day with my KX1 this year, but quickly ran
into trouble with the KX1. It seems that the paddle is stuck down, so that
I constantly transmit. When it first started and I realized that I could
not stop it, I assumed there was short somewhere on the paddle
Going through some old boxes and discovered a circuit board and instruction
sheet for building the N0SS Broadband Noise Generator. This is not a kit but
a circuit board only. See Tom's document at
http://www.n0ss.net/noise_source.pdf.
It's free (including postage) to the first reply from someon
Steve,
If I interpret your first question correctly regarding 'frequency offset':
The 'frequency offset' for SSB would be the BFO setting for the FL1 filter
position - also note that you must set the SSB FL1 filter width to OP1 -
otherwise the transmitted passband can be quite skewed.
The FL1 BFO
forgive the newbie questions pls...but
1. Is there a menu item for Carrier Insert for SSB ? (frequency offset
to change the tone of the TX Audio)
2. Is there just the one menu for Mic Gain? ( 1 (att) , 2 (att off)
and 3 (att off)maybe im missing something ... i sorta need an in

Is anyone using the Ameritron QSK-5 with their K2/100? If so I need to hear
from you.

Roy,
Your follow-up brings more questions than it answers.
It could just be the knee of the diode curve for the diodes in the wattmeter
of the KPA100 - or since the Bird agrees with the K2 display, it may be that
your amp is not really linear or the wattage indication on the output side
is incorr
One thing I overlooked about your question about SWR metering: it only
indicates the SWR up to 9.9:1.

This is a followup...
I put the linear output into a dummy load and tuned the amp to 1500 watts. The
K2/100 was reading approx 50 watts on the LCD screen and the K2 LEDs would
indicate 4 to 5 bars in the RF mode. This is good. If I dropped the power to
1000 watts the LCD screen would indicat
I think that only works with the FT-857 and -897. I connects to an
analog meter output on the rig.

I absolutely LOVE my K2/100 and was wondering if anybody has tried using

Jay,
As you no doubt noticed when reading the instructions, the KXB3080 does take
a bit more care and patience than most. In fact, I would rate it as the
most critical construction item that Elecraft has produced. It takes care
and careful attention to the instructions if one expects everything
Those were some great photos. Does anyone know what kind of camera they used?

Fred,
Yes, the KPA100 (and the KAT2 and the KAT100) contain a directional coupler
type wattmeter to indicate the forward power and the SWR. These wattmeters
remove the necessity for operating the K2 into a 50 ohm non-reactive load in
order to obtain power accuracy. The forward power output of th

Ron, Mark, and other interested folks,
TP3 need to be used only once in the K2 construction (unless something is
changed in the PLL Reference Oscillator). It must be used to verify that
the PLL range is within bounds, but all other calibration steps required may
be done with TP1 and TP2.
Yes, th
Mark brought up an interesting point off-line that I'll repeat here for the
lurkers who may be following the thread. He reports that the DSP module gets
in the way of TP3. I don't have DSP installed in my K2 so that didn't occur
to me. He was looking for easier access to TP3 without removing the DS
Visit the website of the recent Aves Island DXpedition (YX0A/YX0LIX),
click the "PHOTOS AVES 2006" button, and you'll see a few photos of

It looks like the K2's are resting atop switching power supplies--that's

Hi Fred -
There is wattmeter circuitry in the KPA-100 but the power display is scaled
to be shown on the 10 LED power indicator of the K2. Instead of each
segment representing 1W they are now 10W.
FYI...The KAT-100 auto-tuner provides LED bar display for SWR at points of
1:1, 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1

I saw a reference to a "wattmeter in the KPA100"?

I assume you are probably making these
measurements/observations on CW, in which case I can't
add to what has already been suggested.
However, if you are testing in SSB mode, there is
another possibility. Some K2/100's have trouble
keeping the power down on SSB, especially on 80m. The

Roy,
A watt is a watt as far as the amp is concerned, and it could care less
whether the driving generator is a K2/100 or whatever brand transceiver.
Put your Bird wattmeter in-line between the transceiver and the amp, then
try driving to 1000 watts with the K2/100 and another transceiver - obser
I just wanted to post a general thankyou note to all the people who
sent helpful hints to try and resolve the problem I was having with

on the SSB board backwards (doh!).
Anyway, lots of useful tips pointed me quickly in th
