Is there a way to disable the PA Key Out on the KPA100 when using

Glenn,
Yes, you do have a problem. Either with T5 or the capacitors in the VFO
Range Selection area or the Varactors. See my post from your question
yesterday. If you do not correct the VFO range problem you will
encounter difficulties later should you add the K160RX option and/or the

Morning all,
I have a new (to me) K2 #2481 it has the KSB2 and KAF2 .
When I check the software version it reads "2.01 H 1.02" first question is:
does that mean that I am running version 2.01 or 1.02 software?

Sam,
Do not ignore the DAC values, they are all on the high side of the
carrier which indicates that they are on the wrong sideband - as you
have it now, you will transmit 1.2 kHz (double your sidetone pitch) away
from your received frequency! You may enter those values into the CWr
filters,
I was in "The Container Store" yesterday, and was surprised to see
a nice variety of blow-molded double-wall plastic cases. They seem
pretty nice, there's cut-to-fit foam available, and at a decent price.
The largest would certainly hold a K2 and some goodies...
No locks, not water tight, so not

Hi Sam:
I really didn't want to get into the in depth BFO alignment stuff
yet and am hopefully assuming it's on the correct side. My question
arose when I wanted to move the previous owners cw center frequency
up from 500hz to 600hz. Using the instructions I found on:

Then I read on page 9 and it says *if* the BFO is on the wrong
side, (which the DAC readings would seem to indicate), one or more
filter setting would show a shift of the center freq and be more than 200hz
*correction that was meant to say 20 hz off*

I have a very nice K2, s/n 5494 with a KSB2, KIO2 and
a KNB2 with KPA100 amp/KAT100 tuner in the EC2 case.

Actually, I think most ops would suggest a straight key until you are up to
around 10 wpm, and then learn the paddle. Until you know what code is
supposed to sound like, you'll not be able to tame the paddle. Of course,
that's just my opinion, AND, I was drinking when I learned the code - many

I never used a paddle or keyer, but have had hundreds of long QSO's

I agree 100%, but people aren't learning code sitting at their elmer's

Hi Chris and all,
The MTM SPUD7 dry boxes are only 30 or 35 dollars the last time I checked.

With practice you'll send excellent CW even with a simple home-made key
fashioned from a hacksaw blade.
After more than 50 years pounding brass both as a Ham and in
military/commercial service, I seldom found any significant difference in
*most* straight keys. The major difference that I have no

Agree. There is no reason to use a straight key, but if you like it, that is
fine. It will hinder you if you eventually want to go much faster, and I believe
it will cause more fatigue too.
The idea that you NEED to use a straight key before you use a paddle, I just
don't buy, especially if you a
