Robert, Wire the K2 mic header for the Yaesu configuration (I highly recommend using wirewrapping if you can locate/borrow a tool and some #30 wire) and that mic should work FB. If you want to check on the mic gain, hold DISPLAY to indicate ALC and check to see how many ALC bars are illumina

[Elecraft] K2/100 Filter Question

2007-04-25 Thread David Fleming
I noticed last night that when I change filters from FL1 (opt1) to FL2 (700hz) in CW mode, the received signal shifts down in frequency by about 20Hz. Likewise, in CW-N mode, it shifts up by 20Hz. The other two filters are right with FL1. The shift only occurs with FL2. I didn't notice this prior

A bit more on the "what can the K1 do" front. I completed my K1 #02326 on Feb 26, 2007. It went together flawlessly. I have worked 3 QSOs this morning from the mobile on 40 meters with a Workman hamstick. Since Feb 26, I have worked 414 QSOs in 48 DXCC entities and 29 states. All the QSOs

Have had a few queries about the "MDR" earbuds I mentioned in the KX1 writeup. They are made by Sony, MDR being the model-number prefix. There are several varieties. The ones I'm using are MDR-E828LP, available new on the auction site for around USD$5.00 plus shipping. They're noticeably more s

Neat looking device, but you'd have to find a place to put it. They depend on removing the DB-9 and using that space. You'd need to keep the DB-9 for it's AUX IO purposes. Might be simpler to use one of those $10 Serial to USB cables. At $80, it would sure hurt! Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 -Origin

You can just tweak the BFO settings I think, that's what I did. I did not have anything change with the kpa100, and I have had the k2 back and forth as a K2 and a k2/100, and the filter stuff did not change... I have not had any long qso's, but in testing into the dummy load, I don't find my hea

Al, I cannot comment offhand about any low cost commercial signal signal generator that would suit your requirements, but if you are prepared to homebrew there are many low cost options. If you did homebrew and if you needed to know the output level from the generator when using it, you would

Check at Fair Radio. I bought a surplus military signal generator for less than 200 bucks (160 or 180). The one I purchased is a URM-25D. It does AM and CW modulation (no FM). They said it worked...and it did, but the output was kind of flaky. I sent it off to a place in Washington state th
