So do I. The most important factor is to be able to turn off any "sound

You may be reading too much into the instructions. It is not required that
the power on 20 meters be lower than on 40, it just usually happens that
way. The fact that you have the same power output on 20 as you have on 40
is not necessarily an indication of a lack of 2nd harmonic suppres
Last year, I built my first Elecraft kit, KX1 s/n 1287, and loaded it with the
antenna tuner and one of the first KXB8030 modules. I liked the rig a lot, and
made lots of good QSO's with it , including some good DX on all bands. Then I

Hello,
Currently I'm available to start another Elecraft kit ... either a new
kit, or one you might have already started and perhaps had second thoughts.
I also do repair and tuneups.

Hi, John.
Thanks for the offer - yes, it will be good to compare the spectral
purity of the KX1 against your own or Eds KX1 and some of the other
radios there. I saw your analyzer output on your web page - I'd kill
to have that tool at the moment :)
Anyway: I'll probably just go ahead and use
Hallo Cathy,
for what it is worth I build a small audio interface from PSK31 based on
the ideas from Don, W3FPR. You can find the result on

My ambition was to fit the thing inside the K2/100 without taking up
space required for options. I have to admit that it did cost me one
I am building a BC-Band Energy-Reject Filter as described in the 1990 ARRL

yet will still pass 160 meter signals with an insertion loss of only
Has anyone adapted the K2 with an audio synthesiser? ie to announce band/mode

Thanks to the troubleshooting suggestions from Don, W3FPR, I found the
bad choke (L5) and got a new one from Elecraft in only a couple of
days! It puts out about 3W with supply of about 11.7V (a gel cell)
and hears great! I just wish the band conditions were a bit better!

Craig,
The RF Gain control is a device that can be effectively used when you
encounter a mixture of strong and weak signals in the receiver passband.
With the RF Gain at its full (normal) position, the strong signals will
activate the AGC and the weak signals will be reduced too and may not be
