[Elecraft] K2 - 20M dead

I thought I'd give a RTTY contest a try this weekend so I dove in. Found out after switching to 15M that I had my filters wrong so had to stop, open up the rig and reset. Everything seemed to be OK after that until I tried transmitting on 20M - dead as a doornail! Receives on 20 just fine, trans

Re: [Elecraft] Will the K2 and KX3 work with the P3?

Robin, If you do decide to go the SoftRock/Clifton Labs route, be advised that both are kits containing SMD parts. Not a major obstacle, but you'll definitely need a good soldering iron with small tip and probably magnifying lenses to help locate and solder the little buggars! In addition, the

Re: [Elecraft] Will the K2 and KX3 work with the P3?

Robin, I have the NB installed in my K2 and I elected to use that option to install the IF buffer. The other option may offer slight improvement in performance, but I didn't feel it was worthwhile in my case. I haven't been using it long enough to give you any real feedback. Like you, I plan to

[Elecraft] K2 Problem - I let some smoke out

Recently, while reassembling my K2-100 (#2652) after installing a Clifton Labs IF out module, I managed to pinch the 12V aux wire that connects the 100 watt module to the main board against the right side panel. After the smoke cleared, I found a lifted trace on the amp board that feeds the 12V to

Re: [Elecraft] Really old receivers

I tinkered with a WS19 and had it on the air and worked a few people with it. I found out the hard way that there is full transmitter B+ on the key. Ouch! 73, Conard, WS4S K2 # 0074 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/ma

I give them a lot of credit for designing and putting out quality kits. I believe ham radio and Heathkit sparked a lot of future engineers and techs and I'm sure these kits will do the same. 73, Jim/k2hn __

Re: [Elecraft] that Drake or Collins "sound"

I still use the TR-4 for SSB and also have the R4B. Using the same antenna the Drakes pull in the same weak signals as my K2 except the K2 eliminates the QRN/QRM quite a bit better. As far as sound quality, using the Drake MS-4 cabinet with the original Drake speaker and comparing it to the K2 st

RE: [Elecraft] KPA100 build time?

Brett, Can the KPA100 be built without having the K2 on hand? Contemplating building one while in Fla. this winter and was not planning to take the K2. Is it possible to build it and drop it in when I get back or are there tests etc. along the way that require the K2? tnx Jim/k2hn k2- 6107 --- B

[Elecraft] A Little More Nostalgia

My Elmers call sign was 2CGI. His name was actually Elmer Carter. I still have his QSL and on it as a receiver it says 1 MO low loss, Ant. 4-wire fan. Under Transmitter there's a place for watts and Volts on Plate. Note on the bottom reads "Always Glad to QSR No Messages Die Hr., We Always QSL,

Re: [Elecraft] Hate the word HAM

The theory was bad enough but what about the 20WPM code. Had to go back three times before I got it. Had an awful time. I guess that's one of the reasons I hated to see the cw requirement go. It was so hard for me but if you want it bad enough etc. etc. Cheers, jim/k2hn --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wr
