[Elecraft] looking for a paddle to replace touch unit

Hi All, My home brewed touch paddle doesn't get along with the k2 at higher output powers. I'm going to try some filter caps, but I think it will still probably not work. Any suggestions on a really light touch paddle? The K8RA paddle looks like a precision design with a good heavy base weight. I'v

Ian, Thanks for the reply. Yes, the PA is turned on in CONFIG. Another clue is when TUNE is invoked, the output power does not track the power setting. For example, with the power out set to 12 Watts, the actual power out in the TUNE position is 3.2 Watts. Then, if I turn the power set upwar

I still enjoy a regenerative receiver. Even with a trf stage to avoid radiating QRM, it's an amazingly small handful of parts, but one that provides astounding performance with practice and a tender touch. What a delight to pull in signals clean and crisp! QRM can be unpleasant, but it isn't alwa

Ah, yes. I had a Drake 2B a couple of years ago. What a wonderful receiver - great smooth tone. Mine was in very good condition and was working quite well, but as good as it was, it was a far cry from the K2 for filtering. On strong CW signals, the 2B was quite nice to use. Turn RF gain down
