Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: K3/0 to K3 RemoteRig issue: NEVER MIND

Yes, I have been reading about that option. I am a bit of a coward in this area, but I'll go there next. May I ask you for help, if I need it? What router did you use internally? I need at least one fixed "public ip" if that is what they call the external ip. Does the "bridge" provide that or

[Elecraft] XV50 Alignment Problems

Hi all: I am performing the alignment step that involves peaking the voltage at TP5 by adjusting L12, L13 ... L17. I find that the voltage starts to decline a few seconds after I first key my K2. After I allow a few seconds of "cool down", the voltage recovers, but this behavior makes it almost

RE: [Elecraft] Off topic: beginner kit recommendations?

Hi Mike: You're in for a lot of fun. My daughter, Zane, who is now 16 built (95% --- I wound the toroids) a K2 at the age of about 12 or 13, including the SSB/160M/60M/DSP/Noise Blanker/100Watt etc. etc. The rig came out great, and it is in regular use. The warm up was an MFJ receiver kit and a

RE: [Elecraft] Any K1's or KX1's in West Michigan?

Hi Guys: I live in New York City, but I grew up in Kalamazoo (KN8LOT and K8LOT received in 1958). I built as many Heathkits as my sidewalk-shoveling and lawn-mowing jobs would afford me. To save postage, my Dad would drive me to Benton Harbor to purchase my Heathkits direct from the factory.

RE: [Elecraft] units of measurement, explained

How in the world did a change to solid state affect a naming convention? 1 Hz = 1 cps, regardless of the circuit devices. 1 uuf ("micro micro farad") = 1 pf, regardless of the devices used in the circuit. I am baffled by this notion. Can you provide more evidence? 73 de Brian W3BW -Origina

Hi all: There is a terrific article about Ken Schaffer, N2KS on page G1 (front page of "Circuits" section) of today's "New York Times". I don't know him, but the article mentioned that he was a ham. I did the search and found him. He is a successful inventor, located here on Manhattan's Upper W

[Elecraft] KPA100 C83

Hi guys: While assembling my KPA100, I unfortunately charged right by the warning not to install C83 through the holes in the board. I removed the 1000ufd cap and reinstalled it as recommended. However, I am very curious as to why it is specified to be mounted this way. I have reviewed prior po

[Elecraft] KPA100 Voltage Measurement Discrepancy Question

Hi all: I just completed the "Initial Tests" section for my KPA100 to go with K-2 S/N 4387. The power supply voltage is 13.2V. Several of the pin voltage measurements were a little low: U1 Pin 1 4.895V instead of 5.0V U1 Pin 20 4.895V instead of 5.0V U1 Pin 27 5.59V instead of 5.8V U1 Pin 28 5.

[Elecraft] N4PY Software for Dual K2s - How?

Hi Guys: I am just finishing up my 2nd K2, and I am intrigued by the idea of using dual K2s in split operations. I was wondering if others have tried this, and how one might manage to use the same antenna for transmit and receive while not feeding high RF from the transmit K2 into the receive K2.

RE: [Elecraft] Question about K2's Q7 and Q8 Final Amp

A question on this subject... I had the same problem, after I installed the 100 watt amp and put everything back together. I solved it with new pads. The only symptom was a failure to develop output power. It was awhile ago. It may be that the thing refused to power-up at all, I just don't remem

Hi all: I already own 2 Heil PRO-SET Plus headsets and an older PRO-SET. I don't want to have to buy an entire new one for my K-2. Is there an adaptor plug made that enables the PRO-SET Plus to work with a K-2? Alternatively, if I wire the mike plug on the K-2 to accept, for example, Yaesu mike

[Elecraft] K2 Multiple Birdies Suddenly Appeared. Help!

Hi Guys: I had my K2 (S/N 2528) opened up to replace the thermal pads on Q7 and Q8. This was in the aftermath of installing the KPA100 option. Everything worked fine for a few weeks after installing the KPA100, but I needed to change out the pads as the old ones had gotten "threadbare". I am pre
