Re: [Elecraft] Power 160M

all is well with the load, then check your 160 board as suggested. The low power output of my K2 will output 5 or more watts into a 2.5:1 match (that I used to run before i upgraded my tuner). In my case the KPA100 is less forgiving, requireing a better match on 160m, FYI. 73, curt --- "Da

Re: [Elecraft] KFL1-4 wishes

me to mind that will output 5w. Or if you have a qro rig, crank the power down to qrp. Or explore something homebrew. The K1 does seem like a nifty rig for portable operation, but sounds like you enjoy yours from home. 73, curt --- "Christopher A. Kantarjiev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Elecraft] K2 Aux Bus - DC Bias at 9pin Connector ?

I am still troubleshooting my KAT100, and now I am wondering if the problem might be the aux bus. When the 9-pin connector is attached to the K2, and the KAT100 is disconnected - should there be 5-6 volts DC on pin 6 ? I see voltages on pin 8 and 9, but nothing on pin 6. (And yes i verified th

[Elecraft] KAT100 Initial Test Failure

I am at step 1 of KAT100 testing. When K2 is turned on, indicators default to Ant 1 and Low Power. I cant get them to change, as my ATU is unrecognized. I am using latest firmware. I have traced the Aux bus from my K2/100 board all the way into the KAT100. I reflowed all the solder joints at t

tools are up to the job. i enjoyed my stock/QRP K2 for many years on various modes. be glad yours has the mods built-in as my older K2 has a bunch of jumper wires. see where your journey takes you with yours. 73, curt K2 #2117 (SSB/160m/100w+KAT100 in progress) --- Tony Parker <[EM

Re: [Elecraft] Mojo

down a bit, and folk will continue to use and advance their K2's. These rigs are 'merely' windows into enjoying what propagation (and what antennas we can deploy) allows. So those of us with mere K2's or K1's or KX1's can continue to thrive. 73, curt --- Goody

Re: [Elecraft] any suggestions? cheap qrp xcvr kits

for a building experience but not as fun to use on congested bands. if you really expect to do some portable operating, rethink your expenditure into a simple rig vs. a K1 or KX1. 73, curt --- DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all: > > I am looking for an in
