I forgot to mention that the 'Battery Tender' also needs a direct
connection to the battery, so the mod to the K2 is still valid. See my
Smartcharger article on my website www.w3fpr.com for details on the
direct battery connection. Fusing the direct battery connection is
mandatory for safety,

The owner of A&A Engineering is trying to retire. I suggest you look at
the offerings that go by the name of 'Battery Tender' for good 3 state
chargers.

It does not "come up", you need to edit the parameter - go to INP, then
hold EDIT to edit the parameter - Once there, tap DISPLAY to toggle
between ADET ON/OFF.

The key jack in the K2 is a stereo jack. A mono plug will short the

I had the problem of using a mono plug as well and the stereo plug fixed it.

I installed a K3EXREF and set up a Trimble Thunderbolt a few months
ago, and I've been very happy.
The K3EXREF was very easy to install - just remember that it's a very
good idea to use a static mat and wrist strap whenever you dive into
the inside of a K3. The instructions were quite clear, and s
Thanks Matt, very much, I had that sinking feeling. Auto detect doesn't work

years now. Normally use the BY-1 paddles. 73 Gene

Yes, that's your problem, you must use a stereo plug (refer p99 in Rev I of the
K2 manual).

I installed one about the time they were released, it was a pain free
exercise, plug an external 10Mhz in and it worked, unplug it and it falls
back to the internal reference. The whole exercise has proved invaluable for
external microwave transverters as well as the internal 2M module which
That would be a mono plug Matt. I am thinking of using a stereo plug perhaps?

When you say "two tipped plug", you mean a stereo TRS plug with
Tip-Ring-Sleeve, right? Or are you talking about a mono plug with only tip and
sleeve?
