[Elecraft] CW keying circuit

I want to be able to do computer-generated CW on my K2, using software such as DX4WIN and WriteLog. The circuit that works on my wife's Yaesu FT1000 MP Mark V does not work on her Yaesu FT920, which makes me think it isn't going to work on the K2, either, because both require a stereo plug. The cir

Before I go and lay out $147.00 for a Heil ProSet-K2 headset to go with my ancient K2 (S/N 678, Revision B, with software version 2.03d), can you helpful folks tell me about any pitfalls to installing this unit? Will I have to open up the rig and make any modifications? My K2 is working so well th

RE: [Elecraft] New to Elecraft and Mailing list

Hi Terry VA6MAC, Welcome to the Elecraft community. I hope you enjoy your build as much as my wife and I have. My K2 is my main rig, and I alternate between my K1 and my KX1 when I go for a day hike somewhere. All these rigs work very well. I have taken these rigs when I've gone camping too. I loo

RE: [Elecraft] KX-1 Antenna Recommendations

Hi Tom, First of all, I swing a nylon mason line string with a weight attached to the free end (with a fishing swivel) over a convenient horizontal tree branch up about 25 +/- feet. I take off the weight and attach my center insulator to that free end of string, going through the eye hook on the t
