I don't understand the stress factor here. The bands are in such dreadful
shape (at least from here in Germany) that you can turn on your radio (mine
are an FT-1000MP MkV and a K2) and you think the receivers are dead.
I have a friend who has a Yaesu and Kenwood dealership, and he says guys
Try PSK - it's humming, I see stations at least 8,000 km away almost every
day. I'm using a TS-480SAT and a trapped dipole under the roof.
Otherwise I agree - in 32 years creating QRM I've never experienced such a
poor year, I guess it's global warming making the MUF melt sooner.

About the only band that is somewhat usable from here is the 40m band.
30m at my sunset until 0100utc has been VERY hot this summer, with only a
rotary Fritzel triband WARC dipole at 10m high most of the time (unless the
tower was cranked up).
I experienced 30m being more constant in openings

Hi to all,
The scope shows a superimposed high frequency oscillation just on the
negative peaks of the audio signal.
It produces a distorted and annoying audio when the signal peaks, specially
when listening a loud station on the external speaker.
This happens when the volume is close to or at

Morning Gang,
My K2 has been sitting idle for several weeks. Fired it up this morning and
all seemed just fine except that I note there is no LED power indication on the

Hello David,
In professional Morse I have often heard R used as a . (dot) in number
notation.
Hence 2R7 on a capacitor is most likely 2.7 pF.

Gus,
I was getting a flashing Cafter I turned the power off completely and
turned the K2 on again, it cleared up the problem. I guess I inadvertantly
must have pressed the engaged the VOX button...thanks for the tip.

Hi Friends
I have got a problem with my K2/100 and need your help.
I built K2, KPA100, KSB2 and KAT 100 which worked OK for years from the
first day until now.
Recently I upgraded the KPA100 with KPA100UPKT, it passed all tests (I
did not realign it), and it worked perfectly for two weeks.

Mountian Ops, now out of business, used to make a pouch with neck strap for
the K2. I still one for the FT-817 somewhere. Is there a pouch or carry bag
that works well with the K2?

I don't know about your setup, but there is almost daily e-skip between DL
and SM on 10 meters. Up here in SM, 10 meter has been pretty fun although is
supposed to be dead. Mostly e-skip from all over EU, but also many openings
to SA and some sweet openings to NA this summer. I'm sure

Anyone have any insight?

Anybody wanting to sell their deposit/space in the first K3 production
line, please contact me directly. I was planning on eventually getting a
second K3 for my SO2R setup, but might as well do it now if anyone can't
stand the delay.
tnx,

73 de Jim,
I just finished the construction of my KX-1, including the 30/80 meter
module and the antenna tuner. The rig works fantastic except for one
problem: the reception on 20 meters is notably attenuated. All the other
bands scream. When I switch to 20 meters, the receive sensitivity seems
to drop

On AM, most CB sets, if not all, use class c in the final,
(single device), and collector modulate it with a push pull
class b modulator.
Look up plate modulation, same thing but with tubes.
You use class C on FM, and class ab1, ab2, or class b
on ssb.
Most modern ham rigs if not all use low

I already have the KAF2 and don't need it. But I wonder how you like the DSP
versus KAF2. What modes did you use the K2's with?
