[Elecraft] K2 Build

Another post here since I'm sure support is closed till Tuesday and I'm hoping to make some progress over the long weekend. Pg 51, the very last step, is the install of C167 (.001 uF, 102). Appendix A shows a more or less photo of this capacitor. I can't locate this capacitor, but then, I may

Yes, use the .001 uF (marked 102) at C167. Yes, you will have to bend the leads straight out and then form them again at a right angle to fit the hole spacing. Those yellow capacitors are also monolythic, and yes, they do not look like the picture. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/30/2014 5:06 PM, Lane

This is why the inventory at the start of the build is so important -- you identify all the parts, and in cases of doubt you can sometimes use a process of elimination to work out which part is which. For C167, I removed it from my radio when I installed the SSB module. Here is a picture of

Hi folks, I'm working on my XV432 kit this weekend. I ordered the high accuracy crystal and the crystal oven options as well. I'm on page 31 of the XV432 manual, where it is asking me to locate L4 and L19 for installation. I see that L19 appears to get replaced when installing the high

Happy days! The replacement choke came today, and I promptly installed it. I'm now getting 7.85 volts at the D2 and D3 anodes, and much stronger signals across all bands. Picked up several S-9 signals, and even a couple that that were S-9 +10. I also completed the installation of the KAT2

Ken, If you have a recent XV432 (within the past 2 months), it is being shipped with the High Accuracy crystal. Look at the markings on the crystal that came with the XV432, and compare it with the crystal shipped with the High Accuracy Kit - if it is the same, you can put either crystal in
