[Elecraft] Misc. EC2 panels available

While cleaning out a closet, I came across the Top Cover, Front Panel, and Heat Sink panel from when I long ago built a KPA100 + KAT100-2 in an EC2. They are in good condition. Find a picture here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8377240@N08/28068372495/ They're free, just pay for postage from

I have several Rigol instruments, including the DS-1102D (2 Channel 100Mhz w/ 16 Channel Logic Analyzer). It's definitely been a useful investment and has performed very well for me. --phil On Sep 24, 2012, at 8:20 AM, Rick Stealey wrote: > > There was a company displaying at Dayton this yea

Greetings fellow Elecraft enthusiasts, When I bought a K3 a year or so ago, I promised myself I'd fund the purchase by selling my K2. I'm finally getting around to doing that. I've posted it for auction on eBay, and with Eric's permission, posting the description and auction link to the li

You can also install the chassis screws into the 2D connectors, which provide something narrow enough for the Panavise PCB holder to latch on to. That's how I did it, and it worked reasonably well. --phil On Dec 28, 2009, at 1:09 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Conway, > > Just my way of working, I

Thanks in no small part to the list and archives, Don / W3FPR, Steve/ N1JFU, and Jeff/W7BRS, K2 #6662 is fully calibrated and made it's first contact today! Incidentally, this was also my first ham radio contact (besides one or two perhaps done with an elmer some 20 years ago). Now to troubl

[Elecraft] KAT2 and CALS

2009-01-23 Thread Phillip Heller
So I've completed the KAT2, so far so good. I get C55 to 003 +/- 2 (bounces back and forth). R1 set per DL1 calculation, R2 set with matching wiper resistance. CALS reports 1:1 on 80 and 40, though from 30 through 10 it reports from 1.1:1 to 1.9:1 respectively. The documentation says not to

[Elecraft] KAT2 J8 tolerance?

Just finished the KAT2 for K2 #6662. Unfortunately, J8 is just too tight on CTRL P4. I *might* be able to force it on, but it would never come off. Anyone run into this? --phil ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be

[Elecraft] K2 #6662 S-Meter Alignment

Hi there, So, I've made it through Alignment/Test 2. All numbers right down the middle, save the AGC threshold voltage, which was solved by adding 10k across Control RP6 pins 3&4. So, I complete the S-Meter alignment per Alignment/Test 1. No problem. Then, after I finished Alignment/Tes

[Elecraft] K2 #6662 Control Board Resistance U6/29&30 a tad too high

2009-01-06 Thread Phillip Heller
Everything checks out per the Control Board resistance checks, though U6 29 & 30 to Ground show 95-97k ohm (dependent upon dmm polarity). So that's 5-7kohm greater than the range shown in the table, but less than 10% deviation... Is this something I should concern myself with? --phil ___
