Dave,
I suspect he is having problems with the Trnasmit Carrier Null. That
procedure is normally done at the factory since it needs a spectrum
analyzer to do it correctly. If he has access to a spectrum analyzer he
should ask support to send the complete instructions. See page 34 in
the
I replied off-list with my instructions for adding the KXB3080 while
avoiding desoldering of the components.
Those instructions can be found in the reflector archives too.
If anyone else would like a copy of those instructions, send me an email
off-list.

Hi,
I have an older ham friend who just loves his little K2 - he's very comfortable
with the little rig. He has recently been required to move his QTH, and
doesn't have quite the antenna farm that he once had.
His K2 doesn't have the internal tuner. It's my opinion that he would benefit
transmit power is set to 10 watts.
mode is AM, but that doesn't seem to matter.
When I press tune into a dummy load/swr meter, it tunes normally:
The K3 shows swr and power on it's meters.
external swr meter show power also.
swr is 0.0 on both the K3 and the external swr meter.
When
Clarification:
I press the tune button and it tooks.
When I press the the xmit button little happens.
When I press and hold down the xmit button it goes into permanent rune mode
and it show output and swr just fine on the K3 and the swr meter.

The Sierra has been shown on the Wilderness Radio website as out of stock for

Too bad. It was a very versatile kit.

Hello,
Fire danger has lessened by a great deal. I have not kept track of

In my continuing efforts of rediscovering my K2, I'm wondering how
badly I want the current FW versions.
I currently have 2.01f and 1.02, not sure what/if it needs one the SSB
version is. I don't seem to be able to find a revision list of
versions back down to mine, just what's written
My S/N [4398] is on a tag on the back of the K2. :-) Mine is a 10W,
ATU, SSB [which I've never used, no mic], AF filter. No DSP, 160, or
other accessories. It was last aligned by Don, The K2 Master. It
works perfectly, I use it on CW with my AlexLoop, mainly on summit
activations and QRP

Jon,
The major firmware upgrade was from MCU version 1.xx to 2.xx. Since you
have 2.01, you may not have any need to upgrade if you are satisfied
with it. Your K2 will work as well as any other with that firmware version.
The first upgrade from 2.01 was to 2.03, and I am sorry to say that I

Any thoughts on choosing the Cushcraft over the Hy-Gain for a vertical?

Hi Robert,I can't seem to find any other messages in the reflector about this
topic. But in any case I have owned both a Cushcraft R6000, and a HyGain
AV620.I used both for at least 6 months before moving to a cushcraft ma5b mini
beam.
Both antennas seemed to offer similar performance. In this
The main reason is that the Cushcraft R8 was one of the antennas in the
comparison report on verticals by N0AX and K7LXC (cost $20 but worth it)

The Hy-Gain AV-640 is very similar, but appears to have a little
