Good Morning,
I am sorry this is late but I just got home from a very long day. I
worked with the local ARES group at the Hillsboro Airshow. We found four
lost children, assisted in a few medical problems, worked on fire watch,
and generally stayed on our feet for about twelve hours.
Have not found it in manual yet but it is wired just like my FT100D. Tip is
dots in Pdn and Tip is key in Hdn under Inp on menu --- hope this
helps

Hi,
Yesterday I participated with my K2/100 in the Pike Special Event station
here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was in observance of Zebulon Pike's
bicentennial discovery of Pikes Peak. We were in a terrible location in a
downtown valley with antenna restrictions imposed by the city
I can't speak to the issue of the fan not coming on, but I can offer some
experience with a hot heat sink. A few years ago I used my K2/100 to test
the temperature compensation mods during which the heat sink became too hot
to hold my hand on it. The internal air temperature of the K2 was around
I hit upon the scan mode by accident with my brand new KX1. Reading the
manual it appears the memories are the scan boundaries. I've not set
these, so they would be whatever default.
I've noticed that while scanning, and even after scanning, the RF I hear
is reduced from what I had heard
Hi,
A couple of questions:
1. Wondering how the CW plug for Hand or External
keyer is wired? The K2 manual (pdf vers) doesn't
indicate this directly, it just says the RING is used
only for a Paddle. Therefore I assume one uses the TIP
and GND for hand/external keying? Along of course with
PRICE REDUCED!
I've decided that I want to explore the possibilities of Software Defined
Radio. In order to do that I must sell one of my K2s. This is a serial 37xx
vintage K2 and has been upgraded to the latest production configuration and
firmware. It has the 60 meter / transverter interface

I decided to connect my K2 to my computer speakers (Klipsch). The
stereo plug of course worked for only one channel.
I went to Radio Shack for the correct conversion. I expected to just
buy two leads, one with an in-line stereo jack and one with a phone
plug and just splice them together.
Hi all
I have been having great fun with the K2 but I am wondering what the output
should be?
10W or 15W?
The Po control seems to indicate 15W should be possible.
The PA alignment seems OK, or at least as per the manual, Po/current seems
to match at the levels stated.
But occasionally the

The specified output of the K2 is at least 10 watts CW. The actual output
varies with the band. It is a function of the overall transmitter path gain.
It tends to peak about 40 meters, where most K2's will make 15 watts output,
or very close to it. Up on 10 meters is where the overall gain is

Sadly, Paul W. Klipsch is no longer with us and his company moves on into
second generation.
The famous Klipschorn corner horn is an amazing speaker. It was even more so
in the 1950's when Hi-Fi was a new idea for most.
His company will continue on, but like all companies it is no longer the
Jim,
The fact that you had the TPA parameter set to 11 degrees would explain the
fan not coming on even with high heat sink temperatures - the firmware did
not know just how hot the heat sink actually was because it was not properly
calibrated.
The temperature displayed in the TPA setting should

Good for you, we look forward to seeing you in the Extra subband. Of

It's +5.6 VDC open circuit to ground and the keying circuit needs to sink
less than 1 mA to key the transmitter.

Winkey works just fine with the K2. Just hook it up. You should
follow the connection diagram shown in the K2 manual, either
connecting tip and the small ring together or using two 1N4148 diodes
on each side to make sure the two circuits get shorted to ground at
the same time.
