Good Evening Folks,
The twenty meter net had a little noise caused by a foreign station
jamming someone else. Next week I will move further afield. I will
announce the offset before I run the net but please look further from

While running the Elecraft CW Net on 20 meters, 14050.50 kHz, I was unable
to copy at least two prospective callers. The first one faded into the

jamming again but it was not specifically aimed at us. At first I thought

If you have any doubts whether your K2NB can handle pulse type noise
here are a couple of simple circuits that can either ease your mind or
send it to the bench.
The first is a pulse-generator/signal tracer/audio amp that works well
as such and produces a 10uS pulse. A 2N3904 and 2N3906 may be
No hurry here for a K-3.

I agree, because it is like a vehicle to get people to think about what they
wish they had or what they think is missing, which is valuable information for
any company.

Discussions about a prospective K3 have always

what it is that people are looking for. I get the
impression that you're talking about more
operational features rather than improved engineering characteristics.

The dimmers are more of a nemesis on the lower frequency bands were auto

Fred, & All.
My memory could well be wrong, but I'm pretty sure (and others will soon
confirm - or shoot me down in flames), but, seem to remember the NB was
changed somewhat after I built K2 #0681. I believe the original NB was
more agressive. Somewhere I still have the original documentation
Alan,
I believe all these were addressed long ago. The maximum battery size is
0.56 inches (14.2mm). I don't know if all battery manufacturers conform to
the standard AA size, but I have not had any problem with AA Rechargable
batteries (NiMH) I have purchased recently ranging from 1200 mAHr to
Mine works just fine on the noises I have to deal with. I live on a busy street
and it handles ignition noise with no problems and most of my power line noise.

I first "discovered" Elecraft after the great product review in QST

discussion list; it is a great source of information, with a couple

Regarding the individual who did the K2 reset:
What was he trying to do when he did it? Per the K2
manual, you need to hold down the 4,5,& 6 keys while
turning on the rig. That sequence doesn't seem to be
something someone would normally do when turning on
the rig.

What is the maximum ripple that the K2 can have on the DC power? What would be
a recommended value? 10%? 1%? 0.01%?
Just to be sure that I am applying theory correctly:

After the inspection of the controllerboard I make the resistance checks

The resistance at P2,U5 ,U4 and U3 are correct.
The others are too low ,by U6 not > 100 k it was ca.35k,by U8 the same.
and by Q1 and Q2 only 35k.
Is that correct.?

A blanket "It doesn't. Don't waste your time--" isn't really a good thing
to say at this time. #1, it DOES work on many types of impulse noise. If
you are looking to eliminate atmospheric static noise (QRN) then yes, it
doesn't work. Pulse type ignition noise from vehicles passing your

It doesn't. Don't waste your time on this option.
