Hi Harold,
You will connect the K2 to the KXPA100 as you would any 3rd party
transceiver setup as described in the KXPA100 manual. You will just
route RF from the K2 to the KXPA100 input and provide a keying line from
the K2 to the keying input of the KXPA100. This means you will need to
add
Just to be clear, you do not need the KAT100 ATU for this feature to
work. The K2/100 will lower the power to 20W (if set above that) during
a TUNE cycle.

At this point the only options unavailable in addition to the KPA100 are
the K60XV 60M/Tranverter module and the KDSP2 Audio Filter module. The

To key the KXPA100 amp (or any other external amp) you will need to add

have a 100k resistor network installed at RP2, which is in the VCO

which can be difficult...

Hi Andrew,
Yes, place that 2.7KΩ resistor across RP2 pins 7 & 8. This resistor is
on the output of U6A to drive the varactor diodes in the PLL Osciillator
circuit. It was changed to 2.7K in Rev B. In Rev A it was 100K and part
of RP2, so you are just placing a 2.7k resistor in parallel with
a Glutten for Punishment. I wont say More !

I think you will be fine with a 15.4KHz range. The problem when approaching

Realizing that the terms best and portable mean different things to
different people. Here is a portable vertical that I've been playing
with since June: http://www.n6bt.com/n6bt-Bravo7K-1.htm
This is a design from Tom Schiller, N6BT of the Force 12 era. He has an

Hi Scott,
I'm going to assume you are talking about a K3 here (red light comes
on). I'm successfully running WSPR here on K3 #338. Here is my setup:
- Using DATA A mode (make sure you're not in REV DATA).

board (the one with the RS232 ACC connectors). If you follow the
troubleshooting section in the K3 manual, it has you disconnect
everything but power to the K3, then remove the Digital I/O board, the
KIO3 board and
I may be outside the norm here, but I received my Bravo 7K in 4 weeks
after I was told it would be 6 - 8 weeks before shipment. Although, I
tried contacting Tom after the QST article and failed to get a response
after a couple of months. I read the same thing about his email
problems. I
Barry,
I had the same thing here a few weeks ago. I found that I had no output
from my LPA board. It is now at Elecraft being serviced but I have yet
to hear the final resolution. It has only been in service for a week or so.
I used a scope and did some signal tracing and found that I had RF
BTW - some of the obvious things to check first would be to insure you
aren't in test mode or that the TX INH pin is not set or floating (check
in the Config menu).

Hi all,
Before I contact service, I thought I might post my problem here in case
it is something fairly simple.
I returned from a 2.5 week vacation a couple of weeks ago and sat down

Where did you find the info on the change? (Google was not my friend). I
