After a series of calls and e-mails I finally got Elecraft to send the knob
only to find that it does not fit correctly as the encoder shaft
is too long s
I used to run the SGC-230 tuner at the base of my antenna.
As I recall it has a auto mode that does not require a tuning circuit

I was curious as to those running a panadapter with the K2.
How much bandwidth are you able to see?
I hooked up my FiFi SDR to the IF out and at 192 khz the band edges are faded
out.
Thank you

I have a Pace de-soldering tool so taking off the display is not really an
issue,
but agreed it would have been easier before the display was installed.
As for the diffuser, If needed I have a CNC mini mill so I could cut a piece of
Plexiglass and I have
a nice sample pack of photography gel
I has a Ten Tec amp that was like that with RGB LEDs

If you can replace the backlight LEDs with RGB LEDs, you might
be able to have any colo
Actually the Stock Backlight LEDs are Green
If you shine a light at the K3 or the KPA500 you will se they also gave a
greenish cast to them when off

It's worth paying a little more and having less headaches.

I saw a picture wher somone had an amber display on their K2.
I would assume it's just a matter of changing out the led backlight.
So the question is where can I get an Amber backlight panel?Or do I just make
my own?
Thank you

I prefer a single paddle, but I first learned with a bug (I'm 53)
My son prefers dual paddles, but that's what he learned with (he's 29)

Is it possible to have the K3 sense if the KAT500 is On and if so use the KAT500
and if the KAT500 is OFF then use the Internal ATU in the K3?

As there seems to be some confusion on your part I would suggest that
downloadand Read The Data Sheet for the "DB9-USB family of USB to UART
Converters"
Available Here : http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/163/DS_DB9-USB-15654.pdf
You will then understand what it is and how it functions.
Years ago I used lead shot and epoxy to sill in the voids on a knob to add
weight.
You could probably also use BBs instead of the Lead shot

Hi,
The DB9-USB-D5-F cost about $15, so for about the price of a USB to RS-232
Cable you can put the USB interface right n the K2.
If you decide in the future you want to go a different route you simply remove
it and get the KIO2 from Elecraft.
