The construction technique and tuning procedures would be different from K2. It should be an interesting construction experience. 73 Johnny Siu VR2XMC s/n 1146, 4165, 3837, 4255, 4597 - Original Message - From: "EricJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'JS&#x

Let us look at the matter in a different way. The skill required in the construction a real QRO solid state power amplifer is different. KPA800 will be an entire different training for myself as a non-radio profession. Cheers, Johnny Siu VR2XMC - Original Message - From: "EricJ" <[E

We mostly live in high rise multi-storey condominium in Hong Kong. Outdoor huge antennas are definitely out of question. While most of the time using QRP, QRO is not a sin especially in some marginal and difficult situation. In case necessary, I use my K2 to drive my ICOM ICPW-1 to get about 3

Hi OM, Shall we back to basic? One of the advantages of kits from Elecraft is 'without' SMD stuff for the 'normal' skill builders. I consider myself is a 'normal' skill builders though I can handle SMD. Without SMD, most of elecraft kits can be handled by simple and easily avaliable tools.

First of all, I love K2 and built a number of them. However, I have similar experience for my other rigs. Sometimes, what happened will depend on band conditions. 72/73 Johnny Siu VR2XMC builder of s/n 1146, 3837, 4165, 4255, 4597 - Original Message - From: "n5pip" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Hi Howard, I built both KAF2 and KDSP2 for a number of hams. Having the chances of comparing both of them, my views are as follows: 1. There is a substantial price difference between KAF2 and KDSP2. 2. For CW reception, KAF2 performs not much worse than KDSP2 BUT the noise reduction in KDSP2 wi

To supplement Lee's email, I would say that ALC is a way to protect the PA from overdrive. For example, if I set proper ALC level at my ICPW-1 to get only 500 watts (the full output of PW-1 is 1 kw), even when I turn the RF power control on my IC756pro2 to full scale, the ALC feedback voltage from

Hi Mike, There is a amp-key kit provided by elecraft at a cost of USD5. There is no ALC communication between the external PA and K2. I use my K2 with my ICOM ICPW-1. With an input of 15 watts, I shall get an output of about 300 watts. The output of the PA is controlled by the input power from
