Hi all,
I don't know if crossposting with the Yahoo thread is allowed, but i'll do

I have been FO/F5LCI on Hao atoll, 900 KM east of Tahiti, in the vast
Tuamotu archipelago (more
precisely BH91nv) during 3 months, and I have made circa 300 QSOs (200 in
CW,

Thank you very much! I also like the idea of having another different choice
for the key, to have it send CW while still in SSB mode, as others have
mentioned.

The INFO 080 message means that the MCU (Control Board U1) is not
communicating with some other firmware IC over the AUXBUS signal line.
The only other controller that is present at this stage of your build is
the MCIO in the middle of the RF board.
I would suggest that it is a solder
Ariel,
I would think your K2 finals are OK (for now).
My best guess is that you have a KPA100 and a static charge has damaged
diodes D16 and D17 in the KPA100. If you do not have the KPA100, then
you most likely have the KAT2 and the diodes are D1 and D2 - the same
principle applies.
To test
I have a brand new Signalink with cables for K2 for sale. Digital modes not my

Ariel,
Do not be too quick to conclude that there is something wrong with the
base K2. The basic K2 uses only an RF voltage diode to display the
power output, and it may not be exact - it depends on the load and may
vary from band to band - if it only off by a watt or two, then all is OK
Hi Dick,
On our web site you'll find the manual for installing the DVR module.
It includes instructions on removing the front panel.
Once the panel is off, look at the VFO A encoder module. Make sure it
isn't unplugged (due to its hardware becoming loose). If that's the
only problem, plug
Dick,
The easiest way I can give you instructions for getting to the encoder
backside is to tell you to follow the dis-assembly instructions in the
K3 DSP Low Pass Filter mod kit instructions. You can download from

Does the XG3 have the stability and output power to be used as a VFO for older
(1950-60s) CW and Phone rigs like the T-50, DX-40, etc.?
Are there software programs that have been written that allows VFO operation?

Yes, with appropriate level conversion, and possible filtering (the

Follow on question...
What type of signal (wave?) does a crystal, as used in old rigs like the Eico
720, produce? I am thinking that the oscillator of something like in the 720,
would clean up the output of the XG3 a little bit. I was actually thinking of
using the XG3 as a crystal
A crystal oscillator generally produces something approaching a
sinewave, with varying degrees of harmonic distortion depending on how
much output power the designer was trying to get out of it.
The XG3's signal is quite stable as it is derived from a crystal
oscillator. But its output will

I will check and reheat soldering points as suggested, probably later this
evening when I'm back home from work, and post how things go. Thanks for
the quick suggestions!

The XG3 cannot be tuned by 1 Hz steps, the resolution is a function of the
operating frequency but generally it is within 24 Hz of the selected
frequency. If your VFO application does not require this accuracy, the XG3
may be a good choice. However as Wayne outlined, proper filtering would be

Cecil,
I suggest you check the soldering on the front panel board, be
especially aware that on all ICs pin 1 is soldered, that is easy to miss.
Check the schematic for the front panel board and look at the symbol for
the encoder. Measure to make certain you have 5 volts on the 5 volt pin
How about some user reports from the new KAT500 users?

The K2 with the ATU behaves as expected - internal meter agrees well with the
