I just finished installing my new SSB board and have a couple questions.
1) Can I use my HTX-10 mike?
My rig will mute when I hit the PTT but no power out.
I don't know if this is the mike or something wrong with my board.
There is no indication of power or any signal out.
I did the coarse adjust a

I am finishing up a few more Elecraft Kits and need to move some of the

Hi to the list,
Thanks to every one that replied to my query about the K2 and Digital modes.
It was pretty much what I wanted to hear.
I've now ordered my kit and am looking forward to receiving it so
that I can get started on building this radio.
So apologies to those that replied either to m

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I was doing a program on the K2 at my
club the other night and someone asked if it was a IF or AF DSP.

Welcome to you Steve,
I would like to add a few comments to what Ron has stated. I purchased my
K2 in 2001 before I knew very much code at all. I bought the SSB module
because I thought I would use that mode frequently. After a very pleasant
building experience I sat down to listen to the

We have been shipping KPA100's with the 2SC2879A transistors (with the
Al Oxide die insulator) for a while now. Looks like we need to update
that section of our manual! Thanks for the heads up.

The new "companion" document from Rework Eliminators places all of the
information (that from Elecraft, and that from RE) in one document.
This eases the complexity considerably. But "if" you are

Nope, AF. It plugs in to the same place as the analog audio filter so
you can have only on in the K2. KDSP or KAF, not both.

Hi to all,
As mentionned in the KPA100 manual, Q1-Q2 2SC2879 contain Beryllia Ceramic.
Do not break, cut, or crush them, since the dust or vapor can be dangerous.
However, there is a new design, the 2SC2879A. The difference between the
2SC2879 and the 2SC2879A is that the "A" version is RoHS

I think the same applies to me. Do you recommend to build the KPA100 with
the upgrade kit? then I'd have to order it.

Hi Ron,
I'm glad you mention how easy it is to add the modules. That'something that I
was wondering about also. Some people make it sound like it's really
difficult to do and others say it's a breeze. It's hard to know for sure
until you experience it yourself. I think I will order the bas
The order is unimportant, Greg, as long as you build the basic K2 first!
I can't speak about the rework eliminators. They are not an Elecraft product
and I didn't use them as I built my K2 module-by-module over the years. I
found adding modules a trivial exercise. Since I haven't added every modu
I strongly recommend the K2, Steve.
Adding the options when you want is very simple. The K2 was designed to be
built just that way and it's a trivial exercise to install options after
you've built, tested and used the basic K2. The K2 is designed to be taken
to bits in a few minutes, should you e
Hi David,
It's great that there are so many of us in Wyoming. Hi! I'm in Cheyenne.
Well, I'm thinking of getting the amp and ssb option with the initial order
rather than adding them later. From what I have read so far, I'm assuming it
will be easier to do that with the initial build than ha

Ken,
I agree, The holes in the assemblies are not "sloppy". They are
however a small bit larger than the minimum required clearance size for
4-40 screws.
That slightly larger hole size allows tolerance for any paint buildup
inside the holes, ease of screw insertion and does allow a tiny bi
I don't agree with the concept of "sloppy holes" being
needed or having been designed into the K2 case.
On the contrarty, the mechanical "fit" of the cabinet
parts/panels is IMPRESSIVE!
Having a background that gives me some insight into
what's going on behind the scenes, this simply jumped

Hi Dale,
I'm thinking about giving the K2 a try and I'm also interested in the external
amp for it. I noticed that some here have talked about that. It would be
nice to have a QRP rig and a separate amp. Does Elecraft sell the amp as a
stand alone or do you have to build it into the rig?
Hi all, this is my first post here, and although I see the concurrent

I seem to be OK now.

The K1, KX1 and K2 are different radios that serve different purposes.
The K2 is the better performing of the 3 and a bare bones K2 is a very

Fred,
I built a KPA100 amp and a KAT100 tuner in a separate EC2 enclosure. It sits
right beside my K2, works great, and can easily be
disconnected to use the K2 without the amp when desired. It's very easy to do,
both the amp and tuner were designed with that specific configuration in mind.

Hi Mike and all,
I seem to remember many years ago when I was building K2 #402 that there is
some play in the connections for the case as the panels are put together. I
think that I had the same problem that you have. The slop in the
connections is required so the screws will always enter the
Don,
Thanks for the info - sounds easy. I did buy the KAT100-2, planning on doing
this after hearing all the discussion on the reflector. This will make a nice

try mobile operation for the first time ever with the Q
Gary,
When I built my K2 it was about 20 years since my last kit. I never had any
problems that I couldn't handle and Elecraft was very helpful in answering
questions as well as this forum. You want the K2. It has much more to offer.
As I am now 63 years old the old eyes aren't what they are u
